"_Secondly_. That he did not hope for this temper in his age, the humour on both sides being so turgent, and extremely contrary to it, and the controversy debated on both sides by those 'who,' saith he, '_desire to eternize, and not to compose contentions_,' and therefore makes his appeal to posterity, when this paroxysm shall be over. "_Thirdly_. That for the chief usurpations of the papacy; he leaves it to Christian princes to join together to vindicate their own rights, and reduce the Pope _ad Canones_, to that temper, which the ancient canons allow and require of him; and if that will not be done, to reform every one in their own dominions. "_Fourthly_. That what he saith in favour of some Popish doctrines, above what some other learned Protestants have said, is not so much by way of _assertion_ or _justification_ of them, as to shew what reasons they may justly be thought to proceed upon, and so not to be go irrational or impious as they are ordinarily accounted; and this only in order to the peace of the christian world, that we may have as much charity to others and not as high animosities, live with all men as sweetly and amicably, and peaceably, and not as bitterly as is possible, accounting the wars and seditions, and divisions and rebellions, that are raised and managed upon the account of religion, far greater and more scandalous unchristian evils, than are the errors of some Romish doctrines, especially as they are maintained by the more sober and moderate men among them, Cassander, Picherel, &c.
