		Soon Socinus was asked to respond to Jacobus Palaeologus, a former Greek monk from Chios and religious refugee from Italy, concerning the issue of social property and political authority.[48] This was a part of the ongoing discussion among the Polish Brethren on the use of the “sword” (ius gladii).
		Laelius and Faustus also state that it is equally nonsensical to accept the literal meaning of the expression “and the Word was God.” Socinus emphasizes that in the Scripture the term God was frequently used in a metaphorical meaning to stress the rank and importance of the person so called.

		Socinus referred to “that monstrosity of three realities,” that “imaginary Trinity, three beings in one nature,” which was in fact not trinitarianism but tritheism.

	RESSAY1
		Calvin, in the 1559 edition of the Institutes of Christian Religion, similarly maintains that Christ's redemptive work had no intrinsic value, but that the ratio meriti Christi must be located in the divine will or determination to accept as such.
		Now, this discussion is absent until the 1559 edition of the Institutes, and its insertion in Book II.17.1-5 may be traced to Calvin's correspondence with Laelius Socinus in 1555.
		Socinus had asked how God could have been determined by the merits of Christ if redemption was solely a matter of God's free and sovereign decision.
