IOANNI RAINOLDO doct. theo∣logo clariss. Albericus Gen∣tilis, S.
NON feres, opinor, aegrè, missa haec à me in vul∣gus, quae unum habent, & alterum aliter, atque tu senseris, & docueris. Neque enim ego contra te stare volui, à quo steti semper, & Deo faci∣ente stabo: sed adversus alios disputavi, quos sequi non potui: eos etsi tu sequereris, & ad probares. Rogavi te coram de utraque quaestio∣ne: nec tamen audire à te nisi nudam sententiam tuam valui. Petii etiam à communi amico nostro Errico Cuffio, ut de te ipsum hoc sciscitaretur, si mihi autor esses, ut commentationes istas ty∣pis mandarem. Sed aut te convenire ille non potuit: aut accepit nihil, quod responderet. Audi, mi Rainolde: quaestionem de hi∣strionibus publicè ego tractavi antea quam tibi haec quaestio cum altero esset. Itaque ipsam demere nunc de corpore reliquo, hone∣stum non fuerit. Imo ad me spectare videtur, defendere semper jus civile, quod profiteor, & quod semper iustissimum observavi. In vestras autem si sedes{que} veni, non solùm tutari conatus sum nostras: tu illud nosti iuris esse, quando & tu invisere nos in no∣stris sedibus voluisti. Quanquam de te ego cogitare nequivi, qui post meam commentationem ingressus es istam disceptationem: at moralia, & politica sacrorum librorum aut nostra existimavi, aut certè communia nobis, & theologis: & verò etiamnum versor in eadem opinione. Uale, vir clarissime. Et de meis his chartis, •…•…t literis sic facies, vt te in opere, quod nunc aggrederis, arduo, et summo, ne tantillum quidem morentur: neque enim tanti sunt.
Iul. 7.
