This question surely as it is weighty, so hath it also very many doubts.1 Wherefore we must first make a distinction, what may be lawful to Magistrates, and what to private men.2 Then must we understand that the conversation with infidels hath two considerations: one is, whereby men are driven by compulsion to Idolatrous and unpure worshipping of God, & an other, whereby they remain at liberty. Then we must mark,3 that they which live together with the ungodly as touching religion, are sometime learned and strong, and sometimes they are both weak and also unlearned. Wherefore I think it good to be judged as touching private men, that if they be learned,4 and have with their learning adjoined constancy, so that they be not compelled to communicate with ungodly rites, may lawfully have to do and be conversant with men that are infidels, provided that there be certain cautions added.
This questiō surely as it is weighty, so hath it also very many doubtes.1 Wherfore we must fyrst make a distinction, what may be lawfull to Magistrates, and what to priuate men.2 Then must we vnderstand that the conuersation with infidels hath two considerations: one is, wherby men are driuen by compulsion to Idolatrous and vnpure worshipping of God, & an other, whereby they remaine at libertye. Then we must marke,3 yt they which liue together with the vngodly as touching religion, are sometyme learned and strong, and sometimes they are both weake and also vnlearned. Wherfore I thynke it good to be iudged as touching priuate men, that if they be learned,4 and haue with theyr learning adioyned constancie, so that they be not compelled to cōmunicate with vngodly rites, may lawfully haue to do and be conuersaunt with men that are infidels, prouided that there be certayne cautions added.
