Resistance, obedience and toleration. Przypkowski and Limborch

The interesting, albeit scanty, correspondence between Wiszowaty and Limborch extended over a span of more than twenty years - from 1682 to 1704 - touching on various theological and exegetic questions: from the theme of marriage and adultery to the that of the Holy Supper. Dating to several years later is another brief correspondence between Limborch and the young Socinian resident in Germany, Samuel Crell. In his letters the latter showed himself to be interested in gathering material related to the Synod of Dordrecht and the epistolary contacts between the Arminians and Socinians which were established at that period. Among the mutual acquaintances who were mentioned in the course of these letters, the most important is undoubtedly the philosopher John Locke, who had been visited in the course of 1701 not by Samuel himself, but by his cousin Daniel Crell, who had enjoyed the hospitality of Sir Francis and Lady Masham at the manor house in Oates in Essex where the philosopher lived.
