Goulartius indeed relates how he conceived himself to be reprobated of God, as justly he might in case he judged himself to have sinned against the Holy Ghost; And as for that which is here set down in Latin, of him that is a Reprobate, namely, that necessario condemnabitur, though his sins be small & few, & that nihil interest multa an pauca, magna an parva sint; quando nec Dei misericordia, nec Christi sanguis quicquam ad eos pertinet. Neither Sleidan, nor Osiander nor Goulartius makes any mention of it. And therefore I wonder not that he neither followeth Sleidan, nor Osiander much less that he follows not Goulartius. He cites Caelius secundus and Calvin as his Authors, and some others that wrote thereof to their friends, but names them not; as neither where it is that Caelius secundus makes mention of it, or in what book of Calvin it is found. I imagined it might be in his Epistles; I have spent some hours in searching therein from the year 1545 to the year 1663, and can find nothing concerning it. Now Goulartius wrote since Caelius secundus, and Calvin and Sleidan, and his relation is large; and it seems he inquired in to it somewhat better then they that went before him. And thus he relates it out of the discourse of Henry Scringer a Lawyer of Padua, who saw Spira at that time, and divers times spake with him.
