Potential Protestant Unity

In early 1613 Du Moulin was in correspondence with King James about the need for doctrinal unity among Protestant churches, a concern for both of them. On March 1 of that year Du Moulin wrote the king a letter with a twenty-point plan of union that envisioned James as its leading promoter. After this plan was slightly revised and expanded, James sent it to the French National Synod of Tonneins for consideration in 1614. This synod gave the plan a cautious endorsement.
