X. The consummation of peace of conscience and the harbor of true tranquillity, into which our Theology desires to penetrate, is ETERNAL LIFE—the absolutely highest end of man.

Therefore we too, surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, casting aside every weight and sin, must run the race with endurance, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Latin

X. Consummatio pacis conscientiae et portus verae tranquillitatis, in quem Theologia nostra penetrare cupimus, est VITA AETERNA—finis hominis absolute summus (lib. II cap.14). Proinde nos quoque, cum tanta nos circumdet nubes testium, abiecto omni pondere et peccato, per tolerantiam stadium decurramus, intuentes in fidei ducem et consummatorem IESUM (Heb. 12:1-4; 1 Pet. 1:3-9). FINIS.
