Annotatio III §.V: New Latino-German edition plus Prefatio with nine arguments prove its perfection — no need to linger on cause or praise

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

Of this Consensus we have not only prepared a new Latino-German edition, but in a special Prefatio set out nine clearest arguments for the perfection by which it leaves every other Protestant consensus many parasangs behind — and we have answered all the usual objections.

So there is no need to linger further either stating its cause or praising its excellence.

Latin

Hujus verò, cùm non tantùm editionem novam Latino-Germanicam nunc paraverimus, sed & Perfectionem ejus, quâ Consensus Protestanticos ad unum omnes, multis post se parasangis relinquit, in peculiari praemissa Prefatione, novem evidentissimis argumentis adstruxerimus, solutis etiam, quae hic opponi vulgò solent, exceptionibus cunctis, non est, cur vel causae ejus dicendae, vel excellentiae commendandae immoremur amplius.
