Never thought of that. You may be right. I will say that the Thubingen divines, to my recollection, never raised that point with the EP, though

That's because I think Harley is making things up. It sounds "plausible" that the reason he didn't become Orthodox is that our "Pelagianism" is unacceptable (never mind our "traditions"). But that would be a difficult hypothesis to defend as the reason for all Protestants.

Most Protestants never heard of the Tubingen divines writing to Patriarch Jeremiah II in Constantinople, not once but thrice, because it did not produce the desired effect.

Yes, yes. That's the reason alright. My "great learning" has driven me mad. ;O)

Too true. When the EP didn't buy into their "theology", they became, shall we say, "insistant". It took two letters more from the EP to get them to leave him alone.
