A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §312 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio VI §.III: Reformed desire and open door to one Church — fraternity with all keeping the Foundation

The Reformed would then desire it, and the door into one church with them would be judged wide open.

The condition is simple: they stand most ready to give the right hand of spiritual fraternity to everyone who keeps the Foundation of the Christian faith — practical and theoretical alike.

Latin

Reformatis cupido esset, inque unam Ecclesiam cum iisdem coalescendi apertissima judicaretur janua, utpote sub hac Conditione, cum omnibus Fundamentum Fidei Christianae, tam Practica, quàm Theoretica servantibus dextram fraternitatis Spiritualis jungere quam paratissimis.

About this text

Samuel Strimesius, a candid inquiry into the controversies among evangelicals: the preface and selected controversies and notes, from the 1708 Latin. The rest is not yet translated.

Samuel Strimesius (1648–1730), born at Königsberg, taught philosophy and then theology at Frankfurt an der Oder and pastored its Reformed congregation; Oxford made him doctor of divinity in 1709.

The Candid Examination of the Gospel Controversies (Frankfurt, 1708) defends the Reformed claim to stand within the Augsburg Confession's legacy, then works through the Lord's Supper disputes with the Lutherans controversy by controversy.

This volume holds the opening stretch: preface, preliminary defenses, Part I, and the post-Luther controversies.
