He expresses himself in these terms;
"The Bishop of Meaux says,
"1st. That the Project delivered to the Bishop of Neustadt, does not
appear to him quite sufficient;
"2dly. That it is, nevertheless, very useful, as every thing must
have its beginning:
"3dly. That Rome will never relax from any point of doctrine,
defined by the church, and cannot capitulate, in respect to any
such article;
"4thly. That the doctrine, defined in the Council of Trent, is
received in and out of France by all Roman Catholics;
"5thly, That satisfaction may be given to Protestants, in respect to
certain points of discipline, or in the way of explanation, and
that this had been already done in an useful manner, in some
points, mentioned in the Project of the Bishop of Neustadt.
"These are the material propositions, in the letter of the Bishop of
Meaux, and I believe all these propositions true. Neither the
Bishop of Neustadt, nor those who negotiated with them, make any
opposition to them.
