Annotatio IV §.XX: (1) They admit Waldensian confession unclear — thanksgiving/commemoration; Picard obscurity

(1) Yet they must admit the Waldensian Confession in Sleidanus Book 16 is less clear than a Lutheran twin — it calls the Supper thanksgiving and commemoration of the benefit received through Christ.

Strauch’s Aphorism 10: less certain what all Waldenses sense, still less what they once sensed — Picards may look orthodox, but other confessions are too obscure for Zwinglianism to appear lucidly condemned.

Latin

(1) tamen fateri necesse habet, minus claram esse Waldensium Confessionem, quæ apud Sleidanum extet lib. 16. puta, eam in partem, claram, ut cum Lutherana videri possit eadem, quia dicunt: Esse S. Cœnam gratiarum actionem & beneficii per Christum accepti commemorationem. Imò verò Strauchius Aphorismum suum 10, capitis secundi, ita format: De Cœna Domini minùs certum est, quid omnes (Waldenses) sentiant, ac multo minus quid olim senserint: Quamvis enim Picardi orthodoxè articulum hunc exponere videantur, aliorum tamen Confessiones obscuriores sunt, quàm ut Zwinglianismum in iisdem damnari luculenter appareat.
