A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §237 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.VIII: Better theologians grow milder; magistrates filled with desire for ecclesiastical peace

For besides this: the better theologians on both sides grew used to thinking more mildly and kindly of one another and of their own parties, and by example led their hearers to do the same;

so they filled their magistrates more and more with love and desire for reconciling church peace.

Latin

Nam praeterquàm quòd meliores utriusque Partis Theologi, mitius dehinc benigniusque de se mutuo Sectisque suis, sentire assuevêre, auditoresque suos ad idem faciendum, exemplis suis induxêre; ita Magistratus suos amore ac desiderio Pacis Ecclesiasticae conciliandae magis magisque implevêre.
