Missus est ad me Londino à D. Capello, Ecclesiae Gallicanae quae Londini est Pastore, mole quidem exiguus, sed doctrinâ atque ingenio & acumine grandis, de justificatione libellus, Anglicè conscriptus, author G. Bradshaw. Is quia perplacebat, & mihi cum D. Gomaro exemplar illud erat commune, statim à me in privatum usum Gall•cè est redditus. Anglicanum exemplar D. Gomaro reliqi. Dicam ingenuè. Nihil in humanis scr•ptis dogmati•is hactenus â me lectum est, quod tam vebementer mihi placuerit Ita doctè, acutè, pressè, solidè, nervose, apertè s•l & mirâ brevitate totum hoc argumentum plenissimè à te est comprehensum atque pertractatum. Verba attem quibus illud dignè pro merito suo collaudem atque extollam, mihi non suppe•unt. Saepius ille mihi lectus est; nec unqam ejus satias me cepit. quin eo vehementius sui in me excitavit desiderium quo frequentius repetitus atque relectus: tantus in eo doctrinae, artis atque ingenii splendor & lumen refulget.1
