Hexades Prooemium H.I: Midway in the second millennium, is Reformation itself or its necessity more to be remembered?
HEXAS OF ANNOTATIONS on the blessed Spanheim's historical and reconciling Protheoria of the chief controversies with the theologians of the Augsburg Confession, as they are called.
Prooemium. H. I.
We judge it nearly an open question whether the middle stretch of the second millennium — from Christ's birth to the end of all ages — that learned men who follow some Jewish Elijah more commonly expect (the stretch to which both the Elenchus-writer's Protheoria and our own historical-reconciling Protheoria belong) is better remembered, through every age still to come, by Christianity's Reformation itself, or by the necessity of Reformation.

HEXAS ANNOTATIONUM AD B. SPANHEMII PROTHEORIAM HISTORICAM ET CATALLACTICAM PRAECIPUARUM CONTROVERSIARUM CUM AUGUSTANAE CONFESSIONIS, UT VOCANTUR, THEOLOGIS.
Prooemium.
H. I.
Seculum decimum quintum, Secundi Millennii, inde à Christo nato, ad Seculorum omnium consummationem, communiori Doctorum, Eliam quempiam Judaeum sequentium, opinione, expectandi Medium (ad quod tum Elenchi Auctoris, tum nostra, Protheoria Historico-Catallactica pertinet) num Reformatione Christianismi ipsâ, an Reformationis Necessitate, per cuncta adhuc secutura Secula, commemorandum magis sit, in ambiguo propemodùm positum arbitramur.
