Now in these three Opinions, we may note two things.
1. The substance and formality of them, which is an unavoidableness of mens actions and ends whatsoever they be; In this all of them agree and holding that in all things, undeclinable fates, and insuperable necessity do domineer. And therefore Melanchthon doth not slack in many of his common Places, to call this absolute decree, Fatum Stoicum, Tabulas Parcarum, and to charge the Church of Geneva (the great defender of it) with a labour to bring in the Stoics errors, as we may see in a certain Epistle of Melancthon's to Peucer, where he speaks thus, Scribit ad me Laetius de Stoico Fato usque adeo litem Genevae moveri, ut quidam in carcerem conjectus sit propterea quod à Zenone differret. O Misera Tempora! Doctrina salutis peregrinis quibusdam dubitationibus obscuratur. And Beza too speaking of Melanchthon saies, Philippus de his rebus itascribere caeperat, ut Genevenses quasi Stoicorum Fatum invehentes notare quibusdam videatur.
