The main thesis of Montaigne's "Of Cannibals"

On page one; "Thus we should beware of clinging to vulgar opinions, and judge things by reason's way, not by popular say." --> We had said the message here is judge by reason, not by popular opinion.
On page two; "...it seems we have no other test of truth and reason than the example and pattern of the opinions and customs of the country we live in." --> We had said the message here is that there is no other test of truth, and reason than popular say.
Until i have formulated a solid opinion myself on the reading, and which thesis is which, then i will leave ya'll with this.
