§.XII continue: Walther oath text — sound Gospel doctrine in three Symbols & AC 1530; reject heresies
I, Master Christian Walther, swear that I will hand on and defend the sound doctrine of Christ's Gospel and of the Prophets' and Apostles' word — whose chief points are contained and explained in the three Symbols and in the Confession shown to Charles V at Augsburg — knowing it rightly and keeping it diligently and faithfully.
I will carefully and as far as I can refuse and attack all false and heretical dogmas that fight the clear word of God, whether of old or new Arians or of other fanatics.
Latin
Ego Magister Christianus Walther juro, me sanam Doctrinam Evangelii Christi & verbi Prophetarum & Apostolorum, cujus capita in tribus Symbolis & Confessione, Carolo V. Augustae exhibita, comprehensa & explicata habentur, ut rectè cognitam ita diligenter & fideliter custoditam traditurum ac defensurum; Omnia falsa, Heretica & cum manifesto Dei verbo pugnantia, tam veterum quàm novorum Arrianorum, & aliorum Fanaticorum hominum Dogmata sedulò ac pro virili declinaturum impugnaturumque esse:
