The same Truth was confirmed also by Zarnovitius who first wrote against Socinus his Book; as also by Otto Casmannus who engaged in the same work; and by Abraham Salinarius. Upon the same Foundation do proceed, Paraeus, Piscator, Lubbertus, Lucius, Camero, Voetius, Amiraldus, Placaeus, Rivetus, Walaeus, Thysius, Altingius, Maresius, Essenius, Arnoldus, Turretinus, Baxter, With many others; The Lutherans, who have managed these Controversies, as Tarnovius, Meisnerus, Calovius, Stegmannus, Martinius, Franzius, with all others of their, ⟨image 11⟩way, have constantly maintained the same great fundamental Principle of this Doctrine of the satisfaction of Christ; and it hath well, and solidly been of late asserted among our selves on the same foundation. And as many of these Authors do expressly blame some of the Schoolmen, as Aquinas, Durandus, Biel, Tataretus, for granting a possibility of pardon without satisfaction, as opening a way to the Socinian Error in this matter; so also they fear not to affirm, that the foregoing of this Principle of Gods Vindictive Justice indispensably requiring the Punishment of sin, doth not only weaken the cause of the Truth, but indeed leave it ⟨image 12⟩indefensible. However I suppose, men ought to be wary how they censure the Authors mentioned, as such who expose the Cause they undertook to defend, unto contempt; for greater, more able, and Learned Defenders, this Truth hath not as yet found, nor doth stand in need of.
