What is said in these last Directions in the behalf and favour of an interchangeable Love, and Offices of Kindness, betwixt Approved and Tolerated Ministers and Churches, is no more than what Amyraldus pleads for betwixt the Lutherans and Calvinists, and the Churches of those Professions. Having spoken of the great distance and prejudices of those two Parties against each other ⟨p. 93⟩he adds, Nunc in magnam spem venimus fore ut in posterum tempus omnino melius see res habeant. Nam producer quidem in suggestum Augustanum, reformatae confessionis Ministrum, qui intemperie aliqua animi, vel Dogma Calvinianum in iis in quibus dissentimus ad populum spargeret, vel in Dogma Lutheranum inveheretur, uti preposterum esset atque temerarium: sic etiam in formula Concordiae injustum pronunciari debet, quemadmodum Augustanae confessionis preconem, apud reformatos vel detonare in Calvinum, vel eas res quas probare non possumus, magna vi persuader velle, nemo est qui non judicet minime ferendum esse, quique id non pariter prohibendum arbitretur. Ac Ministrum Augustanum à Reformato invitari, & item Reformatum ab Augustano, ut Communionis testandae causâ, Reformatus populum Augustanum, Augustanus populum Reformatum publicè alloquatur ea lege atque omine ut sese contineant intra ambitum earum rerum, quae sunt utrisque Communes, quaeque ad aedificationem spectare possunt, Res est, quam non modo licitam & utilem, sed absolute necessariam esse putamus. Vid. Admiral. in Irenico, pag. 386, 387. Something to the same sense he speaks, p. 383. Hoc unum ex concordiae formulâ utrinque stipulari sat erit, ut neque Reformatus in Ecclesia Augustana quidquam turbarum excitet adversus ejus doctrinam disputando, neque Augustanus in Reformata pariter, sed ut uterque contentus fidem & cognitionem habere apud se (ut loquitur Apostolus) silentio ⟨p. 94⟩see contineat, ne quid temere deblateret ex quo animorum offensio vel scandalum oriatur.
