§.XI close Chemnitz: The 1540 edition is in everyone's hands; 1531 scarcely known; it holds only needed declarations — reject it and you disturb the churches. Thus far Chemnitz
"But the 1540 edition is in everyone's hands, while the first edition of 1531 is unknown to most and scarcely ever seen.
It contains nothing false — only some needed declarations.
I do not see how it can be thrown out altogether, or simply condemned, without disturbing the churches."
Thus far Chemnitz.
Latin
Cùm verò Editio Anni 40. omnium manibus versetur, & plerisque ignota & vix unquam visa fuerit prima Editio Anni 31. nec aliquid falsi contineat, sed tantùm necessarias quasdam Declarationes, nescio, quomodo possit omninò vel simpliciter rejici & damnari sine perturbatione Ecclesiarum. Hucusque Chemnitius.
