Many props assumed before Hunnius and Mylius that Luther and Melanchthon never taught
Many things are assumed which neither Luther, nor Melanchthon, nor their disciples taught before Aegidius Hunnius of Wittenberg and, with him, Georg Mylius of Jena. Hence Georg Calixtus, already cited, in his Animadversions on the Thorun Confession published in 1654, p. 14: "Our fathers, adhering to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, retained Augustine's doctrine and taught it everywhere up to the year 1580. Aegidius Hunnius, unless I am mistaken, was the first — or certainly among the first the chief — who recalled the ancient opinion (as he calls it), received in the primitive Church before Augustine," and so on. Yet not without difficulty, contradiction, and the charge of Pelagianism. From then on it prevailed among our people.
Latin
Supponuntur plurima, quæ nec Lutherus, nec Melanchthon, nec horum Discipuli tradiderunt antè Ægidium Hunnius Wittenberg. & cum eo Georgium Mylium Jenensem. Undè G. Calixtus antè indicatus, Animadv. ad Confess. Thorunensem, editis A. 1654. P. 14. Nostri Majores, Invariatæ Augustanæ Confessioni adherentes, Augustini doctrinam retinuerunt, & passim docuerunt, usque ad A. MDLXXX. Ægidius Hunnius, ni fallor, primus fuit, vel certè inter primos præcipuus, qui priscám, (sic ille) & ante Augustinum in primitivâ Ecclesiâ receptam sententiam revocavit, &c. Non tamen sine difficultate, contradictione, & insimulatione Pelagianismi. Ex eo apud nostros prævaluit.
