Multi vero sunt pacis & veritatis studiosi, in fundamentalibus consentientes, & contra communes reformatae religionis hosts pariter conscripti; qui nihilominus proh dolor! in non necessariis dissiliunt, & suos utrinque ad partes & pugnas vocant. Dum pugna haec hostilis gliscit inter fratres, hostibus suis perpetuas insultandi & nocendi opportunitates suppeditant. Si quis huic morbo epidemico medicamentum reperire posset, bene de Ecclesia merueret: at cum tot annorum experientia sit compertissimum, illud vix, aut ne vix fieri posse pulvere scholastico luctand•, aut conscientiam poenis premendo; consultius esset omnia haec certamina consopire, quam frustra luctando Ecclesiam dilaniare; & tandem ad utilissimam, si non unicam istam pacis regulam redire, Phil. III. 16. In eo ad quod usque pervenimus, eadem incedamus regula, &c. cui convenit saluberrimum istud Tossani ⟨image 12⟩consilium, Academiae Tubingensi his verbis traditum,
