A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §138

§.XI Chemnitz: Cannot rightly reject the 1542 edition — Hagenau colloquy needed a corpus; Wittenberg printed it with fuller declaration

"I do not see how the edition of 1542 can rightly or usefully be rejected and condemned.

When the Hagenau colloquy was set for that year, it seemed useful to put forward the body and form of our churches' doctrine as the colloquy's matter.

So that year Wittenberg printed the edition, with a fuller declaration added in places."

Latin

Nec video, quomodo rectè & utiliter possit rejici & damnari Editio Anni 42. Cùm enim ad Annum 42. institutum fuisset Colloquium Hagonoënse & judicaretur, utile fore, ut Corpus & Forma Doctrinae nostrarum Ecclesiarum proponeretur, tanquam materia Colloquii, edita est illo anno Wittenbergae, additâ alicubi pleniori declaratione.
