Annotatio VI §.II Number: Ternary principals — Supper, Person of Christ, Predestination; innumerable lesser

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

As to principal controversies the number is a ternary: first the Sacred Supper; then, sprung from it, the Person of Christ; and third, Predestination.

The lesser ones are countless, and they grow daily by intemperate zeal — sometimes by bare authorial whim.

Latin

Numerum habet, quà principales Controversias, Ternarium, seu tres potiùs dogmatum Christianorum articulos concernentem: De S. Coenâ primum; alterum, ex hoc enatum, de Persona Christi, tandemque adjectum tertium de Praedestinatione; Quà minus Principales, innumerum, & pro intempestivo zelo, quandoque etiam pro nuda Autorum libidine, indies augendum.
