§. II. Next comes a more complete Consociation attempt — one owed to Martin Bucer, who could even vie with the gentlest Melanchthon for the palm of theological moderation and modesty.

Chytraeus tacks it onto the Marburg effort in these words: when the Landgrave’s intercession could not get the Saxons to receive the Zwinglians as brothers, Bucer still did not quit — even after our Confession had been shown — but kept pressing every path to conciliation and Concord (pp. 658 and 679).

§. II. Sequitur perfectius Consociationis Molimen, Martino Bucero, vel cum placidissimo Melanchthone de palma moderationis modestiaeque Theologicae certaturo, debitum, hisce Chytraei verbis praecedenti Molimini attextum: Cùm autem, inquit, Landgravius Intercessione obtinere non potuisset, ut Zwingliani in Fratrum numerum à Saxonibus recepti admitterentur, tamen post exhibitam quoque à Nostris Confessionem, Bucerus non destitit, ineundae Conciliationis & Concordiae rationes omni curâ & studio urgere, pag. 658. Et pag. 679.
