A91322	Dissertatio de pace, &c. Or, A discourse touching the peace & concord of the Church. Wherein is elegantly and acutely argued, that not so much a bad opinion, as a bad life, excludes a Christian out of the kingdom of heaven; and that the things necessary to be known for the attainment of salvation, are very few and easie: and finally, that those, who pass amongst us under the name of hereticks, are notwithstanding to be tolerated.; Dissertatio de pace.

but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o right_n and_o orthodox_n sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v rather_o the_o only_a path_n that_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o very_a citadel_n of_o truth_n i_o confess_v that_o this_o way_n be_v heretofore_o wear_v with_o the_o public_a go_v of_o christian_n but_o now_o be_v first_o hide_v with_o the_o spring_a brier_n of_o antichrist_n

unanimous_a consent_n amid_o six_o hundred_o different_a sect_n you_o will_v say_v that_o in_o the_o doctrine_n contrary_a unto_o they_o the_o great_a part_n be_v agree_v but_o this_o be_v nothing_o since_o they_o have_v also_o agree_v in_o very_a many_o error_n so_o that_o we_o must_v again_o seek_v out_o a_o privilege_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o

of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o afterward_o to_o choose_v the_o true_a they_o have_v do_v both_o save_v that_o in_o the_o latter_a they_o have_v not_o follow_v that_o which_o indeed_o be_v but_o
