(2.) At the colloquy’s end both sides signal why they met: to see how far they agree in the Augsburg Confession’s articles, and what hope remains of a closer union later — to enlarge Christ’s true church and quench the papists’ confidence drawn from Protestant division — while stipulating Christian love to one another in the meantime.

Their Relation words put it thus: the colloquy was meant first to learn, in summary, whether and how far both parties are one in the twenty-eight Augsburg articles, and whether further conferences of peace-loving theologians, with Christian high authority, might raise a nearer holding-together; and both sides’ theologians would show each other Christian love going forward, faithfully and without deceit.

Latin

(2.) Quòd in fine Colloquii, utraque pars, eum in finem Colloquium inter se habitum innuit, quò innotesceret, tum quousque in Articulis Aug. Confess. consentirent, tum quae spes superesset, unionis arctioris in posterum ineundae, ad ampliandam veram Christi Ecclesiam & extinguendam Pontificiorum Fiduciam, ex Dissidio Protestantium istis subnatam, dum intereà Christianum amorem sibi invicem stipulati essent.
