SECT. XVII.

IF Cassander was a Papist, then he that * 1.1 owns the Doctrine of Cassander, and his way of Discipline and Worship, is so too: But so did Grotius. For 1. He Pub∣lished his Consultations as the very way to the Churches Peace, professing himself in many writings to own them, and desire their Reception, and making it the very design and business of many writings and of his life. 2. He calls them [Cassandri Veracia scrip∣ta] in his Poem before his via ad Pacem. 3. In his Annotations, he approveth of that which you can call Popery in Cassander, but seems to be more favourable to the Papal cause in many points then Cassander was. Read but Cassander of Images (for instance) and Grotius in his Annot. his Vol. & Dis∣cuss. and see which of them was neerer, or more favourable to the Papists. If then Cas∣sander

be a Papist, and Grotius professedly of the judgement of Cassander, th Grotius was a Papist. The same I may say of Erasmus (whom Thomas White and many more Papists vindicate, as formerly one of theirs) and Modrevius, and many more whom Grotius owneth and adheres to.
