Arch Bishop Bromhal saith, Vindicat. p. 19. &c. [Whereas Mr. Baxter doth accuse Grotius as a Papist, I think he doth him wrong, nay I am confident he doth him wrong.—And I have read all that he allegeth to prove it, but without any conviction or alteration in my judgment.—I will endeavour to give some further light what was the Religion of Grotius: He was in affection a friend, and in desire a true Son of the Church aof England: And on his Deathbed recommended that Church, as it was legally established to his Wife, and such other of his Family as were then about him, obliging them by his Authority to adhere firmly to it.
