Annotatio VI §.II Mode: Acerbic treatment — odious; prostitutes sacred order and the Protestant cause
The mode of treatment is usually more acerbic.
Pious Christians and the more sober theologians alike hate it.
It foully prostitutes sacred things, the sacred order, and the Protestant cause — and nearly brands them with the worst infamy — sunk even below the quarrels, calumnies, and shameless abuse of the crowd and of old women.
Latin
Modum tractandi plerumque acerbiorem, omnibusque tàm piis Christianis quibuscunque, quàm ipsis Theologis cordatioribus exosum, ac res sacras, & Sacrum ordinem, & Causam Protestanticam, turpiter prostituentem, & tantum non pessimum in modum infamantem, etiam vel infra vulgi ipsarumque vetularum rixas, altercationes, calumnias, verba contumeliosa atque propudia projectum,
