Leibnitius Seckendorfio
Arril. 1684.
atque Excellentissime Domme
Magno gaudic meo intellexe, Te non esse alienum ab audien-
dis amicorum volis, qui defensionem Serenissimorum Lutheri
prorectorum a nemine rectius, quam a re suscipi putarunt.
iudicantes politicum potius, quam theologicum esse nego-
tium, nec tam de veritate religionis, quam iure armorum
agi, quando nonnulli hoie non tam gesta frincipum ob hae-
resin infamant, quam potius ob belli calamitates religionem
protestantium traducunt, tanguam tot malorum suasoren. Ita-
que in hoc conflictu non hareseor; sed violentiae, sed rebelli-
onis depellendum est crimen. Quanquam, ut ingenue di-
cam quod sentio, etiamsi subinde de ipsa reformandi neces-
sitate erit disputandum, non ego causam protestantium tu-
tius Hulsemanno alicui aut Scherzero, quam Secrencorsio
credi putem, eruditione pari, autoritate el fide apud ex-
teros etiam superiori. Et certe viri illustris, doctrina
pietate, integritate, reipublicae administratione conspicui,
sententia apud homines poudentes et probos diuersae
partis maius habere pondus solet, quam exquisitissima
disputatio celeberrimi Theologi, sed ipsomunere suo aduer-
sariis odiosi et suspecti. Vellem tamen digniorem Antago-
nistam
