A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §247

Annotatio III §.VIII Rescript: External theologians by royal approval; Proto-Notary F. H. Ursinus; trust in earnest labor

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

If You and Your Assessors judge foreign theologians should also be brought into this College and convention, invite them with fitting courtesy — yet only after Our prior most clement approval — and report to Us by word and writing all that is done among you.

And so that everything in this charitable College or convention may be recorded in better order, We join to you Our intimate secretary and librarian Frederick Henry Ursinus as Proto-Notary, and for this business most clemently free him from the ordinary library duty that binds him.

As we do not doubt this irenical work will please God and that Our royal Christian intent will share divine blessing, so we most clemently trust you all, from true zeal for truth and peace, will gladly take up this care and strain every nerve.

Then we may obtain Our most ardent vow — the long, anxiously desired peace among Evangelicals made firm.

Quòd si Tibi Assessoribusque Tuis opus esse videbitur, exteros etiam Theologos Collegio huic vestro ac Conventui adhiberi, eos, praevia tamen clementissima approbatione Nostra, ea, qua par est, humanitate invitabitis, deque omnibus, quae inter vos acta sunt, ad Nos, ore scriptoque referetis. Quò verò in Collegio vel Conventu hoc Charitativo ordinatiùs cuncta consignetur, Secretarium Nostrum Intimum ac Bibliothecarium Fridericum Henricum Ursinum, Proto-Notarium vobis adjungimus, eumque ab ordinario officii nexu quô Bibliotheca Nostra tenetur, durante hoc negotio, clementissimè dispensamus atque absolvimus. Et quemadmodùm nulli dubitamus negotium hocce Irenicum Deo gratissimum fore & Regiam hanc Christianamque intentionem nostram Divina benedictione beatum iri, ita quoque clementissimè confidimus, Vos omnes & singulos, ex vero sinceroque veritatis & pacis studio, curam hanc ac laborem lubentes suscepturos, & omnes nervos intensuros, quò ardentissimi voti Nostri, quod pro pace inter Evangelicos, diu & anxie expetita, stabilienda concepimus, compotes reddamur.
