§. I. After so many frustrated attempts to compose church peace, the Author not without cause turns to the OBSTACLES set against such pious efforts (p. 341ff.).

He points only at the special ones, passing the more general sources in silence — yet it is worth at least summarizing those generals too, mainly so they may be more carefully guarded against.

Post tot Pacis Ecclesiasticae componendae molimina frustrata, non immeritò in OBICES, Conatibus tam piis oppositos, inquirit Autor P. 341. & seq. ad speciales tamen digitum solùmmodò intendens, generalioribus, ex quibus isti derivantur, silentio praetervectis, quos intereà & ipsos summarium saltem memorâsse è re fuerit, eum potissimum in finem, quò studiosius caveantur.
