A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §160 · Samuel Strimesius

§.XIII: Reformed not self-hostile — Neostadian note that AC is not Scripture; Calovius unfair

Nor are the Reformed here their own enemies when, with the Neustadt theologians (Cap. IV from p. 143) on the Augsburg Confession, they note against those who nearly equate it with Holy Scripture — which Calovius unfairly, and only by insult, reads as "Calvinian insults" (Crit. Sacr. P. 68).

They note that it was written not many years after the Reformation began, when not everything could suddenly be seen through and explained, and so on.

Latin

Neque hîc sibi ipsis infesti sunt Reformati, quando cum Neostadianis Theologis Cap. IV. à pag. 143. de Augustana Confessione, contra hos, qui eam, tantum non Sacrae Scripturae aequiparatum eunt, annotant (id quod Calovius, iniquè profectò & non nisi per convitium, Calviniana convitia interpretatur, Crit. Sacr. pag. 68.) Esse eam scriptam annis non ita multis post Reformationis initium, in quo non tam subitò potuerunt omnia perspici & explicari &c. &c.
