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.

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

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
