A treatise of the cohabitacyon of the faithfull with the vnfaithfull. Whereunto is added. A sermon made of the confessing of Christe and his gospell, and of the denyinge of the same.

This compact treatise tackles a question that once roiled European churches: may the devout share a household or conversation with those deemed heretical or unbelieving? Drawing on a wide range of biblical citations—from Christ’s meals with tax collectors to Abraham’s departure from idolatry—the author strings together scripture, legal precedent, and moral reasoning to argue that such coexistence is permissible. The prose is deliberately archaic, preserving original spelling, punctuation, and the stark blackletter typography of its first edition, while modern editors add a brief guide on Unicode rendering for today’s readers.

Beyond a polemic, the work offers a vivid snapshot of Reformation‑era debates over religious tolerance, civic law, and the responsibilities of princes. It juxtaposes earnest theological reflection with sharp rebuttals of papist practices, revealing how early‑modern thinkers negotiated the tension between faithfulness and societal order. Listeners will hear a voice that feels both distant and immediate, inviting reflection on how past disputes echo in contemporary conversations about pluralism.
