These Reconcilers are too far on in the way to Popery already. Sect. III But if they will be fully reconciled with Papists, they must transport themselves altogether into their tents, because Papists will not come 1forth to meet them midway. The Interim of Germany tended to Reconciliation, yet the Papists wrote against it. Cassander sought this Reconciliation, but eBellarmine confuteth his opinion. The Archb. of Spalato was upon the same course of Reconciliation, but his books were condemned as Heretical, in the decree given at Rome, an. 1616. by the congregation of Cardinals deputed by Pope Paul• the 5. for the making and renewing of the Index, of prohibited books. fThe Rhemists ⟨p. 17⟩tell us, that they will avoid not only our opinions, but our very words which we use: our adversaries profess, that they reject some expositions of certain places of Scripture, against which they have no other reason, but because they are our expositions. Are their minds so aliened from us? and must we be altogether drawn overstays to them? Are they so unwilling to be reconciled to the prejudice of their errors? And shall we be so willing to be reconciled with them to the prejudice of the trueth? O strange and monstrous invention! That would reconcile Christ with Antichrist; agree the temple of God and Idols; mix light and darkness together. gHe had good reason for him who objected to the Archbishop of Spalato, that qui ubique est, nusquam est. For in stead of reconciling Protestants and Papists, they make themselves a third party, and raise more controversy. O bellua multorum capitum!
