Pierre Bayle

A philosophical commentary on these words of the Gospel, Luke XIV. 23. Compel them to come in, that my house may be full. In four parts. I. Containing a Refutation of the Literal Sense of this Passage. II. An Answer to all Objections. III. Remarks on those Letters of St. Austin which are usually alledg’d for the compelling of Hereticks, and particularly to justify the late Persecution in France. IV. A Supplement, proving, That Hereticks have as much Right to persecute the Orthodox, as the Orthodox them. Translated from the French of Mr. Bayle, Author of the Great Critical and Historical Dictionary.
