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

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
