A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §285

Annotatio V §.IV close: Evangelicals Reformed and Lutheran already one by fundamental consensus — stop before §.V

Conversely, Evangelical Protestants — Reformed and Lutheran — though they dissent in some points, are already held in the same Christian Church and joined by church Consociation because of fundamental consensus.

At least those who treat the modes of dissent in about three dogmas (both sides keeping the substance) as less essential and less fundamental — and who not only refuse but abhor damning dissenters on that account.

On Arminians strictly so called we long ago gave a like judgment (Inquiry into the Arminians, Annot. §. 1. 3).

Stop before §. V (Hannekenius on truth and charity at the end of the Preliminary Questions).

Latin

Vice versâ Protestantes Evangelicos, Reformatos atque Lutheranos, dissentientes licèt in nonnullis, ob Consensum tamen fundamentalem, eâdem jam tum Ecclesia Christiana contineri, Consociationeque Ecclesiasticâ copulatos esse: minimum hos, qui modos, quibus in tribus admodum dogmatibus quà Substantiam utriusque servatis, dissentiunt, fidei Christianae minus essentiales minusque fundamentales statuunt, eóque ab omni eatenus dissentientium damnatione non abstinent tantum, sed & abhorrent. De Arminianis strictè sic dictis jam pridem simile tulimus judicium, Inquis. in Armin. Annot. §. 1. 3.
