Sime DomNE, quod a Polono, infelicis, ut
nos credamus, doctrinae vero, ad TE venit.
Nomini ejus parcere. Nomini ejus pariere
et scripturae privatae jura  jubet, et
jubet suadet magna, sed infolix ut nos
credimus, infelix viri doctrina, cujus non
personae sed sententiae nocere volo. 5 ergo
a se, pro ea qua erga omnes literarum a-
mantes voluntate es  appellatus de depo-
nenda sententia exosa et periculosa, et a con-
sensio Ec clesiae catholicaeid est perptu tempore
perpetuae, loco universalis, abhorrente; argu.
merito quidem, quo tu potissimum nitebaris
in consensum Christianorum posito, non respon.
diti od enim leve illis videtur, qui assueti
sunt in Ecclesia et Republica summam judi-
candi potestatem sibi sumere; at vero im pst
Trinitatis doctrinam curiosius in tesuotque verso
ex scriptis eorum hunc velut succum contundendo
expressit, quo ego fidenter dico robur omne rge sophismatum
mentorum  contra Trinitatem contineri. Et
vero Et sanc sic astrinxit vodos, Et profecto
sic astringit nodos, sic difficultates exaggerat, sic
prosequitur pugnam, sic ictus ictibus ingeminat; ut
qui his prepellendis par fuerit, reliqua epha
utra Socini tela possit fortassis audacter con-
temmere.
