A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §224 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.V close: Both sides repeatedly acknowledge each other’s Confessions and churches as true and Orthodox — Bohemica/Helvetica and Augustana Socii (Misc. Sacr. I p. 703); stop before §.VI

From both sides they more than once acknowledge each other’s Confessions and churches as true.

We have agreed: just as the Augsburg Confession’s associates testify that we, our churches, and our Confession published in this synod of the Brethren are Orthodox — so the Bohemian Confession’s associates speak of themselves and of the Helvetic Confession’s associates — so also we will pursue their churches (the Augsburg associates’) with the same Christian love and confess them Orthodox (Hornbeck, Miscel. Sacr. Part 1, p. 703).

Latin

Ab utraque parte haud semel Confessiones & Ecclesias mutuo agnoscunt pro veris: Convenimus, ut quemadmodum illi (August. Conf. Socii) nos, nostrasque Ecclesias & Confessionem nostram in hac Synodo publicatam & Fratrum, Orthodoxas testantur [ita Bohemicae Confessionis Socii de se & Helveticae Confessionis sociis loquuntur] sic etiam nos illorum Ecclesias [puta Augustanae Confessionis Sociorum] eodem Christiano amore prosequamur & Orthodoxas fateamur, Miscel. Sacr. Part. 1. p. 703.
