A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §243

Annotatio III §.VIII Rescript: Peace among Evangelicals our chief care; pulpits nearly free of mutual condemnations

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

You know how, especially under Our reign, promoting peace among Evangelicals has been Our highest care —

and with God’s grace helping we have come so far that in the Kingdom and Our other subject provinces those public bitternesses, charges of heresy, and Protestants’ mutual condemnations are scarcely heard any longer from the pulpit.

So a sure hope shines on us that Our peace-counsels, God blessing them, will reach a happy end.

Latin

Perspectum Tibi est, quò pacto, Nostri praesertim regiminis tempore, pacis inter Evangelicos promovendae summa Nobis cura fuerit, qua etiam, adjuvante Divina Gratia, tantùm profecimus, ut in Regno caeterisque Imperio Nostro subjectis Provinciis publicae illae acerbitates, haeresium imputationes ac mutua Protestantium condemnationes vix ampliùs pro concione audiantur. Unde certa nobis spes affulget, pacifica Nostra consilia, benedicente Deo, felicem fortitura exitum.
