On that outcome Chytraeus writes: Zwingli and Oecolampadius gladly followed Luther’s teaching in everything else; only on the Sacrament they would not follow (p. 643).

Though they had not yet agreed whether Christ’s true body and blood are corporally present in the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper, each side would still show the other Christian love as far as conscience allowed, and both would pray God to confirm them by His Spirit in the true teaching (p. 646).

Buddeus, the noted Halle professor, adds in his Supplement Luther’s Epistle 98 to Johann Agricola, urging that harsh words and writings stop from then on (pp. 71–72).

Chytraeus himself, opening his History of the Acts with the Zwinglians, says he and all the pious wish the bitterness of these splits and hatreds softened and eased (p. 636).

Latin

Qua de re ita Chytraeus: Zwinglius & Oecolampadius libenter, in caeteris omnibus, Lutheri Sententiam secuti sunt, de Sacramento tantùm sequi noluerunt p. 643. Etsi autem, an verum Corpus & Sanguis Christi Corporaliter in Pane & Vino Coenae Domini praesens sit, hoc tempore non concordavimus, tamen una pars alteri Christianam dilectionem, quantum cujusq; Conscientia feret, declarabit, & utraque pars Deum Omnipotentem diligenter orabit, ut nos Spiritu suo in vera Sententia confirmet, pag. 646. Addit Clariss. Buddeus, Prof. Hallensis celeberrimus, in Supplemento, Epistolam Lutheri 98. Joh. Agricolae inscriptam suasoriam quò omnia aspera verba & Scripta cessarent in posterum pag. 71. 72. Ipse praetereà Chytraeus contestatur initio Hist. suae de Actis cum Zwingl. secum omnibus piis optare, quò dissidiorum odiorumq; acerbitas leniatur & mitigetur. pag. 636.
