turbulentarum personarum scandala devitanda
liberius reprehendere non audere, et contra
Faustum Manichaum scribens, aliud est, inquit,
quod docemus; aliud quod sustinemus; aliud qual
praecipere iubemur; aliud quod emendare praeci-
pimur, et donec emendemus, tolerare compelli-
muc. Haec vir non minoris prudentiae, quam
sanctitatis. Sed hac ita intelligenda sunt, ut od
bonum Ecclesiae et pacem respiciatur, non ot vel
turpi indulgentia hominibus adulemur, ut
vel contra ira et contradicendi studio atque re-
prehensionis impatientia abrepti in vetitum nita-
mus, et quae tranquilla mente reiiceremus, ipsi
ideo tantum probemus, ut aduer sariis aegre sa-
ciamus, aut ab us magis abhorrere videamur
vicissim Protestantes cogitare debent, nimium
altercando veritatem amitti, et odiis mutuis
in excessus rui, et Ecclesiae dicam non esse scri-
bendam ideo tantum, quod quae serio et graui-
ter improbat, statim omnia tollere non potest.
Nec vero ircitae sunt protestationes, quemad-
modum aduer sarii accusant, Reperient enim in
Catholicorum virorum scriptis eas cautiones,
quae si observentur, nulla magnopere quiritandi caussa
super.
