though it were I think most fit every one should exercise himself in those questions, wherein by the course of his studies he hath been most conversant; so should the Church of God enjoy, plus dapis & rixae multo minus, invidiaeque. I do admire Mr. Moulin in his conference with Cayer as also upon the Eucharist, and on Purgatory, he hath my heart when I read his consolations to his Brethren of the Church of France; as also entreating of the love of God. I would willingly learn French to understand him only, and have along time desired, & still to get any thing that he hath written. I highly esteem him in his Anatomy though I do not like all and every passage; yet but few are the passages wherein I differ from his opinion. I have been very sorry to observe how by his doctrine in the point of reprobation he overthrows his own Orthodox Doctrine in the point of Election. I would he would answer Sylvester who hath replied to his admirable letters written to Monsieur Balzak. I could be well content, were I once free, to supply what is wanting to Waleus his Apology for him against Corvinus. But to the point, the passage here proposed ⟨p. 82⟩by him is I willingly confess somewhat harsh. I will have this man hanged, and that I may hang him justly I will have him murder or steal. But compare it with that of St. Paul formerly mentioned, God suffers the vessels of wrath prepared to destruction, that he may declare his wrath, and make his power known. And that of Eli's children, They obeyed not the 1voice of their Father, because the Lord would slay them. And that Amaziah would not hear: For it was of the Lord that he might deliver them into his hands, because they sought the Gods of Edom. And that of Jeremiah Doubtless because the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out of his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel. And observe how near Mr. Moulin is to expose these holy passages of Scripture and the doctrine contained in them in like manner unto scorn, ere he is aware. And let him soberly consider, and without any humour of complying with our Adversaries out of a desire to charm them who will not be charmed, to what end God doth finally permit some to persevere in sin, and can he find any other but this, for the manifestation of the glory of his vindicative justice in their condemnation?
