Synodical letter: Scripture says ‘adore’ absolutely, but ‘serve/cult’ with ‘alone’—so latria is referred to God only
The Synod’s letter to the emperors: Scripture’s ‘adore’ stands without ‘alone,’ so the word is equivocal.
‘Serve/cult’ carries ‘alone’—hence latria is ascribed and referred to God only (Deuteronomy 6:13; Matthew 4:10).
Latin
IX. His consona sunt quae leguntur Actione septima in epistola Synodica ad Augustos, quam supra citavimus. Divina Scriptura dicens, Deum tuum adorabis, & illi soli cultum exhibebis: adorabis absolute ponit, neque adjicit, soli, ut significetur vox diversae notionis & aequivoca. Cultum vero exhibebis sive servire soli dixit: quam ob causam latriam uni Deo tribuimus, adque illum referimus.
