The Remonstrants' view is tolerable

Thesis LXX. On this point, then, the Remonstrants think nothing worse than those called Lutherans. The Reformed do not avoid communion with the Lutherans; they even invite them, unasked, to peace and brotherly concord.

So, unless the Remonstrants err in something more serious, the Reformed should not shut them out of their communion over this head of doctrine, but should regard their opinion on it as tolerable and not harmful to piety.

Latin

LXX. Nihil ergo pejus hac in parte sentiunt Remonstrantes illis qui Lutherani dicuntur; ac proinde cum Reformati communionem horum non refugiant, sed ultro eos ad pacem & concordiam fraternam invitent, non debent Remonstrantes propter hoc doctrinae caput, si nihil gravius errent, a communione sua repellere; sed eorum hac in re sententiam habere pro tolerabili, & quae pietati perniciosa non sit.
