§.XII late (1): Whole-AC approvers ready to subscribe — Bucer & Calvin (even outside Germany)

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Under the looser class we put all who, even outside Germany, either (1) approve the whole Augsburg Confession and stand ready to subscribe — as Bucer and Calvin once did.

On Bucer see Chytraeus's History at pp. 651, 656, and 659; on Calvin, the Author of the ausführlicher Behauptung 20, in the special inquiry whether the late John Calvin was counted an Augsburg Confession kinsman in his day (pp. 72–90); add Pareus, Irenicum, p. 293.

Latin

Calvinus seeliger für einen Augspurgischen Confessions-Verwandten zu seiner Zeit sey gehalten worden/ oder nicht? a pag. 72. ad 90. Adde Pareum in Irenico pag. 293.);
