Therefore he tells us what Cicero writes of Epicurus, which may with a far better grace be retorted upon himself then upon Beza, or the Contra-Remonstrants at the Hague conference; or the Fathers of Dort, how unfacetiously it is applied unto them I have already showed, and further it is well known both by Calvins, and Beza's writings, and by that which was done in the Synod of Dort, set forth to the view of all the world, that they have not concealed their opinions from the world on those points controverted; All that are able to read and understand Latin, may soon come acquainted with them: And M.
