If Truth is in the field

Reminded of this today by a Twitter quotation. John Milton (1644):
And though all the windes of doctrin were let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously, by licencing and prohibiting to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falshood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the wors, in a free and open encounter. Her confuting is the best and surest suppressing. ....
John Milton, Areopagitica
