CHAP: 1. The Original of the Doctrine of the Quakers. With some of their principal Heterodoxies. A brief Demonstration of three distinct Persons, in the Divine Essence. Satisfaction to some Objections. And a Vindication of some Scriptures.
When that grand-Heretic Swenok field, who in eighteen years had published fifty scripts, (such as they were) sometime troubled Luther. with his papers, which he sent unto him for an answer: his return was quick, saying to the messenger, the Devil was the author of them: the Lord rebuke thee O Satan! Quod-vult-deus whilst he desired Augustine to publish a tract of all the heresies which infested the church in those days, discerned the undertaking to be too immense & great: this Calvin also perceiving being about to write against the Libertines, presently determined (omitting the rest of their wild & endless heterodoxies) to address himself unto the enumeration, & refutation, of some of their principal, & portentous tenets. Luther's answer may seem too short: Augustine's task is acknowledged too long, Calvins example in this brief treatise I shall in part (God assisting) endeavour to follow.
