1. That this Author either was better read in Melanchthon then in Luther, or no so just matter could he find in Luther, to cry down the absolute nature of Gods decrees.

2. Beza reports what Melanchthon seems to some, and that Epistle of his to Peucer might be their ground. Now therein he delivers his mind merely upon Laelius his relation, which was this, De Stoico Fato usque adeò litem Genevae moveri, ut Quidam in carcerem conjectus sit propterea quod a ••one differret. This I say is Laelius his relation made unto Melanchthon, whereupon Melanchthon saith no more then this, O Mijera tempora! doctrina salutis peregrinis quibusdam disputationibus obscuratur.

3. Melanchthon died four years before Calvin, the one Anno 1560. the other 1564. And therefore if he did pass any censure on the Church of Geneva, it was in Calvins days, many years before his death. Now Calvin and he were very great: Melanchthon so well known and esteemed by Calvin, that more then once he appeals to Melancthon's judgement. Once in the point De Caenâ Domini, mentioned by Osiander, Hist. Eccles. Cent. 16. Anno 1558. pag. 666. which was but two years before his death. Likewise in the point of Free-will and Predestination, as appears by Calvins Epistle unto him, prefixed to his Books, de Libero Arbitrio, which he sent unto Melanchthon: Was it ever known that Melanchthon passeth any censure upon them?
