The Grotian religion discovered, at the invitation of Mr. Thomas Pierce in his Vindication. With a preface, vindicating the Synod of Dort from the calumnies of the new Tilenus; and David, Peter, &c. And the Puritanes, and sequestrations, &c. from the censures of Mr. Pierce. / By Richard Baxter, Catholick.

SECT. LXVII.

VVHether I had any just cause to * 1.1 think that Grotius had followers here in England, and consequently that the warning that I gave was necessary, let his own words tell you, Discus. page 16. * 1.2 [Aequis multis non displicuisse Grotii pro pace Ecclesiae labores, norunt Lutetiae, & in omni Gallia multi, multi in Polonia & Germania, in Angliâ non pauci, placidi pacis{que} amantes. Nam insanientibus in quantum nunc videmus Brunistis, & siqui eorum sunt similes, quibuscum D. Riveto melius quam cum Angliae Episcopis conve∣nit, quis placere, ab illorum veneno in∣tactus postulet?] If Grotius [his Piety and Learning were very equally matcht] as Mr. Pierce thinks page 92. then doubtless he is here to be believed, and therefore had among the Episcopal party, no small number of approvers: though the Brownists and such others were against him. Indeed if I have not proved Grotius himself to be as much a Papist as I there mentioned then neither are his adherents and approvers such; and so all lies upon that.
