[78] Philippians, ii, 13.

[79] Meritum congruum.

[80] Planck, i, p. 176.

[81] Quanquam totum opus Dei sit, non tamen totaliter a Deo esse, quemadmodum totum pomum efficitur a sole, sed non a sole totaliter et sine plantæ efficentiâ. (Pallavicini, Tom. i, p. 58.) Although the whole work is of God, it is not wholly of God—just as the whole apple is produced by the sun, but not wholly by the sun, and without the co-operation of the plant.

[82] "Motionem seu inspirationem prevenientem esse a solo Deo; et ibi liberum arbitrium habet se passive." Preventing motion, or inspiration, is from God, and therein free-will is passive.

[83] Partim a Deo, partim a libero arbitrio.

[84] "Consentit homo, se consensus est donum Dei. Consentire non est agere." Man consents; but consent is the gift of God. Consent is not action.

[94] Löscher, iii, 278.

[95] Faciebat hoc Eccius quia certam sibi gloriam propositam cernebat, propter propositionem meam, in qua negabam Papam esse jure divino caput Ecclesiæ; hic patuit ei campus magnus. (L. Op. in Præf.) Eccius did so because he anticipated certain victory, in consequence of my proposition, in which I denied that the pope was jure divino head of the church; here he had a wide field in which to expatiate.

[96] "Nam quod monstrum esset, Ecclesiam esse acephalam!" (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 243.)

[97] I Cor. xv, 25.

[98] "Prorsus audiendi non sunt qui Christum extra Ecclesiam militantem tendunt in triumphantem, cum sit regnum fidei. Caput nostrum non videmus; tamen habemus." (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 243.)

[99] "Unde sacerdotalis unitas exorta est." (Ibid.)

[100] Hæc est matrix proprie omnium ecclesiarum. (Ibid. 244.)

[103] "Ejusdem meriti et ejusdem sacerdotii est." (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 244.)

[104] Primus inter pares.

[105] Non episcopus universalis, sed universalis Ecclesiæ episcopus. (Ibid. 246.)

[106] Ego glorior me tot expensis non frustra.... (L. Ep. i, 299.)

[107] "Resistam eis ego unus, auctoritate apostoli, id est iure divino." (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 237.)

[108] 1 Cor. iii, 11.

[109] 1 Peter, ii, 4, 5.

[110] On this article of faith the Church is founded. (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 254.)

[111] Et, ut fama est, de hoc plurimum gratulantur. (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 250.)

[112] Nunquam mihi placuit, nec in æternum placebit quodcumque schisma ... Cum supremum jus divinum sit charitas et unitas Spiritus (Ibid.)

[113] Das walt die Sucht!

[114] Nam adhuc erat Dux Georgius mihi non inimicus, quod sciebam certo. (L. Op. in Præf.) For I was well assured that Duke George was not yet my enemy.

[115] Nec potest fidelis Christianus cogi ultra Sacram Scripturam, quæ est proprie jus divinum. (L. Op. Lat. i, 252.) Nor can a Christian believer be forced beyond the Sacred Scripture, which is properly divine law.

[116] "At Rev. Pater, artis coquinariæ minus instructus, commiscet sanctos græcos cum schismaticis et hæreticis, ut fuco sanctitatis Patrum, hæreticorum tueatur perfidiam." (Ibid.) But the Rev. Father, imperfectly skilled in the culinary art, confounds Greek saints with schismatics and heretics, that by the sanctity of the Fathers he may disguise the perfidy of the heretics.

[117] L. Op. (W.) xv, 1440.—2 Löscher, iii, p. 281.

[118] Ita ut ipse Dux Georgius inter prandendum, ad Eccium et me dicat: "Sive sit jure humano, sive sit jure divino, papa; ipse est papa." (L. Op. in Præf.)

[119] L. Op. (L.) xvii, 246.

[120] So wollt'er fast einig mit mir gewest seyn. (Ibid.)

[121] Videtur fugere a facie Scripturarum, sicut diabolus crucem. Quare, salvis reverentiis Patrum, præfero ego auctoritatem Scripturæ, quod commendo judicibus futuris. (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 291.)

[122] "Ad exitum certaminis, uti solet, nulla prodiit decisio." (Pallavicini, i, 65.) As usual no decision was given on the conclusion of the debate.

[123] "Totam istam conclusionum cohortem multo acrius et validius nostri Wittembergenses . . . oppugnaverunt et ita examinaverunt ut ossa eorum numerare licuerit, quas Eccius vix in facie eutis leviter perstriuxit." (L. Ep. i, 291.) This whole host of conclusions our Wittembergers boldly and vigorously assailed, and so exposed that all their bones might have been counted, whereas Eck scarcely pierced their skin.

[124] "Verum in multis me obruerunt." (Corpus Reform. i, 83.)

[125] "Eccius triumphat ubique." (L. Ep. i, 290.)

[126] "Novam quamdam Iliada et Æneida illos cantare".... (L. Ep. i, p. 305.)

[128] L. Op. (W.) xv, p. 1440.

[129] ... A Deo petivit, flecti pectus suum ad veritatem, ac lacrymans sæpe hæc verba repetivit.... (M. Adami, Vita Georgii Anhalt, p. 248.)

[130] Ὁμοίς διὰ πάντων ἐγένετο, ἀγαθὸς δὲ ἠν, καὶ οὐδὲν πρὸς ποίητον εἶχεν.] (Ibid. 255.)

[132] Et cogitabundus et sæpe in medios sodalitios quasi peregrinante animo. (Melch. Adami, Vita Crucigeri, p. 198.)

[133] Christus suis non deerit. (Corp. Reform. i, 104.)

[134] L. Op. (W.) xiv, 200.

[135] Ego imprudens hucusque omnia Johannis Huss et docui, et tenui.... (L. Ep. ii, p. 452.)

[136] Quam difficile sit eluctari et emergere ex erroribus, totius orbis, exemplo firmatis.... (L. Op. Lat. in Præf.)

[137] Per septem annos, ita ut memoriter pene omnia tenerem.... (Ibid.)

[138] Quod enim ex Deo non est, necesse est ex diabolo esse. (Ibid.)

[139] Cum ego tot annis sacra legens diligentissime, tamen ita hæsi tenaciter. (Ibid.)

[140] Proscidit, post abitum nostrum, Martinum inhumanissime. (Melancthon Corp. Refor. i, 106.)

[143] Ausus est grammaticus Wittembergensis, Græce et Latine sane non indoctus, epistolam edere.... (L. Op. Lat. i, p. 338.)

[144] Una est Scriptura, cœlestis Spiritus, pura, et per omnia verax. (Contra Eckium Defensio, Corp. Refor. i, p. 115.)

[145] Quid igitur? Ipsi secum pugnunt! quid mirum? (Contra Eckium Defensio, Corp. Refor., i, p. 115.)

[146] Quem collatis Scripturis e filo ductuque orationis licet assequi. (Ibid. 114.)

[147] Ut hominum sententias, decretaque, ad ipsas, ceu ad Lydium lapidem exigamus. (Ibid. p. 115.) By it (Scripture), as by a Lydian stone, let us test the decisions and opinions of men.

[148] "Præsens male judicat ætas; judicium menus posteritatis erit." (L. Op. Lat. i, 310.)

[149] L. Op. Lat. i, 252.

[150] Ego super te, sicut ablactatus super matre sua, tristissimus hac die fui. (Ep. i, p. 342.)

[151] Rosam quam vocant auream nullo honore dignatus est; imo pro ridicula habuit. (L. Op. Lat. in Præf.) What is called the golden rose he held in no estimation, nay, he held it in derision.

[152] Intellexit princeps artes Romanæ curiæ et eos (legatos) digne tractare novit. (Ibid.) The prince understood the arts of the Roman Court, and knew what treatment was due to them (the legates).

[153] 3rd September, 1519.

[159] "Si quis dixerit per ipsa novæ legis sacramenta ex opere operato non conferri gratiam, sed solam fidem divinæ promissionis, ad gratiam consequendam sufficere, anathema sit." (Council of Trent, Sess. 7, can. 8.) If any man says that grace is not bestowed through the Sacraments of the New Covenant, by the mere act, (ex opere operato,) but that faith alone in the divine promise is sufficient to obtain grace, let him be anathema.

[160] Known by the name of opus operatum, the work performed.

[161] That of the opus operantis, the work of the performer, the communicant.

[417] "Dummodo mecum una monstrum nascentis hæresis arderet." (Pallavicini, i, p. 97.) Seckendorff, and after him several Protestant historians, insist that Pallavicini himself composed the address which he puts in the mouth of Aleander. It is true the Cardinal historian states, that he gave it the form in which it appears; but he intimates the sources from which he drew it, particularly the letters of Aleander deposited in the archives of the Vatican. (Acta Wormatiæ, fol. 66 and 99.) I think, therefore, that to reject it altogether would betray partiality. I have collected some additional passages of the speech from other sources, Protestant and Romish....

(Cochlœus, p. 29.) "In the inns there was much quaffing and joyous carousing, nor were the pleasures of music wanting; Luther himself sometimes playing on a sonorous harp, turned all eyes upon him, as if he had been a kind of Orpheus, shaven and cowled, no doubt, but on that account the greater wonder."

Seeing, then, that all men are dead in Adam ... until they are awakened by the Spirit and grace of God to the life of God. These words, and others which we have quoted, or will quote, are taken from a work which Zuinglius published in 1523, and in which he gave a summary of the doctrine which he had preached for several years. "Hic recensere cœpi quæ ex verbo Dei prædicavi." (Ibid., p. 228.) These are his own words.

[766] Christus verus homo et verus Deus.... (Zw. Op. i, p. 204.)

[870] Biographers, most respectable historians, and all the authors who have copied them, place Zuinglius' marriage two years later, viz., in April 1524. Without going at length into the reasons which satisfy me that this is a mistake, I will merely indicate the most decisive proofs. A letter from Zuinglius' friend Myconius, 22nd July, 1522, says, "Vale cum uxore quam felicissime." "All happiness to you and your wife." Another letter from the same friend, written towards the close of this year, has the words, "Vale cum uxore." The contents of the letters prove that they are correctly dated. But what is still stronger is, a letter of Bucer, from Strasburg, at the time when the marriage was made public, 14th April, 1524, (the date of the year is wanting, but it is clearly 1524.) This letter contains several passages which show that Zuinglius had been for some time married. In addition to the one given in the previous note, we quote the following:—"Professum palam te maritum legi. Unum hoc desiderabam in te." I read that you openly professed to be a husband. This was the only thing in you I regretted the want of. "Quæ multum facilius quam connubii tui confessionem. Antichristus posset ferre." These things Antichrist could bear more easily than the confession of your marriage.—"Αγαμον ab eo, quod cum fratribus ... episcopo Constantiensi congressus es, nullus credidi." That you were unmarried I did not believe from your disputes with the friars ... the Bishop of Constance. "Qua ratione id tam diu celares ... non dubitarim, rationibus hue adductum, quæ apud virum evangelicum non queant omnino repudiari" ... etc. On what account you concealed it so long ... I doubt not you were influenced by reasons which ought not to be entirely rejected by a Christian man. (Zw. Ep. p. 335.) In 1524, then, Zuinglius did not marry, but publish his marriage contracted two years before. The learned editors of the letters of Zuinglius ask, "Num forte jam Zuinglius Annam Reinhardam, clandestino in matrimonio habebat?" May not Zuinglius have already been secretly married to Anna Reinhard? p. 210. This seems to me not a matter of doubt, but a well ascertained historical fact.
