" This question the divines of Helmstadt,
discussed at length; and concluded in these terms: "After having
shown, that the foundation of religion, subsists in the Roman
Catholic religion, so that a person may be orthodox in it, live
well in it, die well in it, and obtain salvation in it, the
discussion of the proposed question, is easy. We are, therefore, of
opinion, that the most Serene Princess of Wolfenbuttell, may, in
favour of her marriage, embrace the catholic religion."
This opinion is dated the 28th of April 1707, and was printed in the
same year at Cologne. The Journalists of Trevoux inserted both the
original and a French translation of it in their journal of May, 1708.
Under these circumstances, the correspondence in question took place. It
began, in 1718, through Doctor Beauvoir, chaplain to Lord Stair, his
Britannic majesty's ambassador at Paris. Some conversation, on the
reunion of the two churches, having taken place, between Doctor Dupin,
and him, he acquainted the archbishop of Canterbury, with the subject of
them.
