Part I Protheoria: Remonstrant cause unequal to Lutheran — Luther De Servo Arbitrio
Nor indeed is the Remonstrant cause and the Lutheran on equal footing, even in the business of Predestination and its annexed Heads. The points above already teach as much, where the Rinteln Theologians explained their own mind and their party's, afterward defended by them in their Apology. And in this cause we appeal to the Leipzig men, to Gerhard, to Calixtus, even to Calov in his Consideration of Arminianism, and others — but before all to Luther himself. For there was no controversy with Luther concerning Predestination, or the total Impotence of the bound Will, or God's Providence about evil actions: he strongly asserted Augustine's doctrine — which is also Paul's — in the Book on the Bondage of the Will, issued against Erasmus toward the end of 1525. For in it there occur even more dreadful things concerning the Divine Decrees and the necessity of sinning than in Calvin himself — as all candid men confess, whatever escapes Luther's grandsons may have tried to seize.

Nec par sane ratio est causae Remonstranticae & Lutheranae, etiam in negotio Praedestinationis, annexorumve Capitum. Docent vel superiora, ubi suam suorumque mentem Rintelenfes Theologi explicuerunt, defensam ab iisdem postea in Apologia sua. Et appellamus in hac causa Lipsiacos, Gerhardum, Calixtum, imo Calovium in Considerat. Arminianismi, &c. sed ante omnia Lutherum ipsum. Nec enim ulla de Praedestinatione, vel de totali Impotentia servi Arbitrii, vel de Providentia Dei circa actiones malas, cum Luthero controversia fuit, doctrinam Augustini, quae & Pauli, fortiter asserente Libro de Servo Arbitrio, quem emisit contra Erasmum sub finem A. 1525. Nam in eo etiam occurrere horridiora de Decretis Divinis, & de peccandi necessitate, quam in Calvino ipso, fassi omnes ingenui, quaecunque effugia Lutheri nepotes captave-
