Butler, Charles, 1750-1832

"With Brief Minutes of the Civil, Ecclesiastical, and Literary History of the Netherlands"


"_Fourthly_. That what he saith in favour of some Popish doctrines,
above what some other learned Protestants have said, is not so much
by way of _assertion_ or _justification_ of them, as to shew what
reasons they may justly be thought to proceed upon, and so not to
be go irrational or impious as they are ordinarily accounted; and
this only in order to the peace of the christian world, that we may
have as much charity to others and not as high animosities, live
with all men as sweetly and amicably, and peaceably, and not as
bitterly as is possible, accounting the wars and seditions, and
divisions and rebellions, that are raised and managed upon the
account of religion, far greater and more scandalous unchristian
evils, than are the errors of some Romish doctrines, especially as
they are maintained by the more sober and moderate men among them,
Cassander, Picherel, &c.
"_Fifthly_. What he saith in his _Discussio_, of a conjunction of
Protestants with those that adhere to the Bishop of Rome, is no
farther to be extended, than his words extend it.
