From SOCINIANISM IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND, 1951 by John McLachlan

It is plain from contemporary theological tracts and treatises that the Socinian criticism of orthodox Christianity was regarded very seriously indeed by Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Independents.   [..]   Many . . . theologians had conned the books from Poland and Holland and replied to them (etc). John Prideaux . . . (10 July 1634) . . .  traces back the doctrine of Faustus Socinus . . . trough Sebastian Castellio to Bernardino Ochino's Dialogues, especially the tenth, . . . and cites the books in which they may be found.³ He pays the Socinian theologians the compliment of calling them 'the most acute and astute critics of the doctrine of satisfaction'.⁴   (Etc.)

      ³ [..] e.g. Socinus in "prolegomenis quae postremis (15) Lectionibus' (i.e. in the Prolegomena to his Praelectiones theologicae) and in 'de Christo Servatore, Catechismus Racoviensis, et Institution Generalis cuiusdam Anonymi Contractissima' (i.e. Institutio Christianae religionis brevissima). He also mentions as important works in this connexion : Ostorod's Institutio, Smalcius against Wolfgang Franzius, Michael Gittichius against Ludovicus Lucius, John Crell against Grotius, John Stoinski's Disputatio Lubliana against John Maria the Carmelite, and John Völkel 'contra omnes', (i.e. de vera religione).
