Luther had to reject his epistle; "straminea epistola" he called it, an epistle of straw, weak, worthless; and he denied its inspiration, because it conflicted with his doctrine of "faith alone."
This, he assures us, is a plea offered by the Tories in defence of themselves, for going about at this juncture to establish the Popish religion among us: What argument does he bring to prove the fact itself? "Quibus indiciis, quo teste, probavit? Nil horum: verbosa et grandis epistola venit" Nothing but this tedious Introduction, wherein he supposes it all along as a thing granted.
Shortly before this, in 1653, he wrote Demonstrationes Christianae, and finally his Epistola ad Christianos, published at Amsterdam in 1672. His strange views and perverted opinions first caused his dismissal from the army, and his works upon the Unitarian doctrines necessitated his removal from the office of teacher.
His versification is harmonious, and sometimes has an air of novelty, his turns are elegant, and his thoughts have both dignity and propriety to recommend them. There is a little piece amongst his collections called the World, which we shall quote, before we give an account of his works. Epistola de Casparo Scioppio, Amberg. 1638, 8vo. Epist. ad Marc. Velserum Duumvir.
