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. English	Przypkowski, Samuel, 1592-1670.; Biddle, John, 1615-1662,	1653 (1653)	Wing P4133; Thomason E1495_1; ESTC R203302	40,192	82

that_o the_o socinian_o impious_o contradict_v the_o manifest_a word_n of_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n and_o scornful_o reject_v the_o clear_a truth_n coming-in_n upon_o they_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o whatsoever_o pain_n and_o travel_n they_o undertake_v in_o this_o business_n be_v employ_v not_o against_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o they_o be_v unjust_o defame_v nor_o against_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n but_o against_o the_o humane_a explication_n of_o both_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o they_o willing_o assent_v and_o give_v credit_n to_o all_o the_o sacred_a oracle_n touch_v this_o matter_n only_o reject_v certain_a interpretation_n and_o form_n sprung-up_a certain_a age_n after_o they_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n matth._n 28._o they_o believe_v those_o three_o sacred_a witness_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n 1_o joh._n 5._o they_o acknowledge_v that_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n be_v a_o god_n joh._n 1._o yet_o such_o a_o one_o to_o who_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v give_v as_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o matth._n 28._o it_o will_v be_v tedious_a to_o reckon_v up_o all_o the_o scripture-testimonics_a of_o this_o kind_n to_o which_o they_o give_v credence_n without_o any_o exception_n those_o hard_a and_o subtle_a opinion_n concern_v the_o essence_n and_o person_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o communication_n of_o property_n and_o other_o of_o that_o batch_n they_o either_o understand_v not_o or_o think_v they_o repugnant_a to_o the_o simple_a and_o plain_a word_n of_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v say_v they_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v believe_v with_o danger_n in_o these_o so_o subtle_a and_o thorny_a explication_n if_o they_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n chance_v to_o err_v shall_v they_o present_o be_v term_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n shall_v there_o be_v find_v no_o pardon_n for_o a_o error_n in_o so_o great_a difficulty_n of_o thing_n no_o excuse_n for_o weakness_n which_o notwithstanding_o we_o ingenious_o seek_v even_o for_o the_o great_a crime_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o well_o provide_v of_o mean_n to_o avoid_v they_o be_v they_o who_o out_o of_o ignorance_n and_o error_n violate_v the_o edict_n of_o prince_n acquit_v from_o the_o crime_n of_o treason_n and_o shall_v he_o that_o offend_v about_o the_o divine_a oracle_n in_o our_o opinion_n have_v no_o refuge_n for_o his_o weakness_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o heavenly_a father_n but_o you_o will_v reply_v that_o their_o blasphemy_n be_v horrid_a wherein_o impiety_n leave_v no_o place_n for_o pity_n and_o reproachful_a against_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o among_o they_o of_o a_o more_o intemperate_a tongue_n or_o quill_n they_o be_v infamous_a not_o only_o with_o we_o but_o also_o with_o they_o but_o what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n i_o do_v not_o sufficient_o perceive_v it_o have_v be_v abundant_o evidence_v before_o that_o such_o error_n do_v necessary_o take_v away_o neither_o our_o faith_n nor_o our_o salvation_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o foundation_n of_o salvation_n to_o know_v his_o essence_n who_o have_v promise_v the_o salvation_n to_o we_o so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o impious_a and_o contumelious_a opinion_n of_o he_o as_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o promiser_n take_v not_o away_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o promise_n unless_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o anything_o under_o the_o condition_n of_o such_o knowledge_n as_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n they_o therein_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n agree_v with_o we_o they_o likewise_o adore_v and_o reverence_v with_o divine_a worship_n the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o the_o author_n and_o mediator_n of_o their_o salvation_n the_o heir_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o the_o general_n of_o our_o warfare_n but_o you_o will_v here_o reply_v that_o they_o deny_v his_o eternity_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o together_o with_o holy_a paul_n care_v not_o much_o to_o know_v any_o thing_n but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v and_o have_v rather_o with_o so_o great_a a_o apostle_n rest_n in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o this_o knowledge_n then_o either_o with_o arius_n to_o ascend_v to_o non-enliti●s_a or_o with_o athanasius_n to_o co-essentialities_a as_o for_o the_o honour_n which_o they_o give_v to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o greatness_n thereof_o appear_v in_o that_o they_o scarce_o distinguish_v he_o from_o the_o supreme_a father_n shall_v they_o then_o be_v say_v to_o blaspheme_v against_o these_o if_o they_o be_v somewhat_o mistake_v in_o the_o other_o knowledge_n of_o they_o indeed_o many_o opinion_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o their_o doctrine_n that_o the_o wretch_n may_v be_v load_v with_o more_o envy_n and_o that_o by_o they_o who_o whilst_o they_o be_v so_o vigilant_a in_o other_o man_n error_n be_v fast_o asleep_a in_o their_o own_o but_o if_o all_o the_o chaff_n be_v to_o be_v sift_v out_o of_o humane_a opinion_n i_o will_v wish_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n will_v labour_v to_o defend_v their_o own_o cause_n before_o they_o undertake_v to_o oppose_v that_o of_o other_o but_o those_o above_o all_o who_o have_v from_o the_o age_n of_o chrysippus_n recall_v down_o to_o these_o very_a time_n that_o secret_a and_o inevitable_a law_n of_o fate_n and_o who_o hold_v also_o that_o the_o sin_n and_o destruction_n of_o mankind_n and_o final_o all_o and_o singular_a motion_n and_o impulsion_n of_o our_o will_n proceed_v from_o the_o decree_n of_o eternal_a destiny_n to_o who_o this_o false_a persuasion_n also_o seem_v to_o be_v fatal_a from_o which_o opinion_n if_o we_o lie_v aside_o prejudice_n more_o and_o more_o shameful_a error_n will_v be_v deduce_v then_o out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o socinian_o for_o which_o be_v more_o reproachful_a unto_o god_n to_o hold_v that_o he_o be_v one_o as_o well_o in_o person_n as_o essence_n or_o that_o i_o may_v clothe_v naked_a injustice_n with_o soft_a word_n to_o bring-him-in_a punish_a man_n for_o not_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o by_o his_o own_o procurement_n be_v impossible_a be_v it_o more_o absurd_a to_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v one_o essence_n of_o the_o father_n another_z of_o the_o son_n then_o that_o god_n i_o shudder_v to_o speak_v it_o have_v one_o thing_n open_a in_o his_o tongue_n and_o another_o thing_n contrary_a thereunto_o shutup_a in_o his_o breast_n this_o be_v reproach_n enough_o to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n although_o we_o do_v not_o add_v that_o this_o dissimulation_n be_v join_v with_o deceit_n be_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n more_o traduce_v whilst_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v only_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o god_n then_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n whilst_o he_o be_v hold_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n which_o consequence_n do_v also_o flow_v by_o a_o fatal_a and_o inevitable_a flux_n from_o that_o doctrine_n of_o fate_n for_o he_o that_o decree_v man_n shall_v necessary_o sin_v certain_o will_v have_v they_o sin_n otherwise_o he_o will_v have_v decree_v every_o thing_n against_o his_o own_o desire_n now_o he_o who_o decree_n and_o will_v the_o

derogation_n to_o the_o dignity_n of_o christ_n to_o deny_v two_o nature_n in_o he_o lest_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o two_o person_n then_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o affirm_v that_o he_o
