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.

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

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

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

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

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
