A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §180

Annotatio II §.III (3)-(4): Sincere AC Invariata incl. Art. X (Lutheran species); Formula Concord except two Coena/Person modes

(3.) They agree in sincere adhesion to the Augsburg Confession — and to it as Invariata — even on Article X, whether the German or the Latin is read here, provided the "species" of bread and wine in the German edition are taken not in the Roman sense (as accidents) but in the Lutheran sense (as symbols of Christ's body and blood).

Hence the Reformed colloquists at Leipzig testified they would always be ready to subscribe the Invariata Confession and cling to it with their whole heart — as we already said in Annotation I, and will quote their words below.

(4.) They agree in admitting the Formula of Concord strictly so called — both the Epitome of certain disputed articles and the Solid Declaration and Repetition of the same — as to substance and as to modes, except only two modes: one on the Holy Supper, the other on the Person of Christ.

Even that twofold modal diversity, we shall show in due place, does not touch the foundation of the Christian faith even from afar. See meanwhile our German tract on the Protestants' fundamental consensus, §§. 10–24.

Latin

[3.] Augustanae Confessioni, eidemque Invariatae, facta sincera adstipulatione, etiam quod ad X. ejusdem Articulum attinet, Germanicè hic, vel Latinè legatur, dummodò Species panis & vini, in Germanica editione memoratae, non sensu Pontificio, pro accidentibus eorum, sed sensu Lutherano, pro Symbolis Corporis & Sanguinis Christi, accipiantur. Unde Reformati Collocutores Lipsienses testati sunt, se nunquam non ad subsignandum Invariatae Confessioni paratos fore, totôque illi pectore adhaesuros, uti jam tum diximus Annotat. I., infrà verba ipsorum adducturi. Denique (4.) ipsius Formulae Concordiae strictè sic dictae, i. e. tùm Epitomes Articulorum quorundam controversorum, tùm solidae Declarationis ac Repetitionis eorundem, tàm quoad Substantiam, quam quoad Modos, admissione, exceptis duntaxat Modis duobus, alterô ad Articulum de Coena S., ad articulum de Persona Christi alterô pertinente, quorum tamen Modorum binorum diversitatem Fundamentum Fidei Christianae ne è longinquo quidem attingere, locis suis demonstrabimus. Vide interim Tractatulum nostrum German. de Consensu Protestantium fundamentali à §. 10. ad 24.
