[765] Quum ergo omnes homines in Adamo mortui sunt.....donec per Spiritum et gratiam Dei ad vitam quæ Deus est excitentur. (Zw. Op. i, p. 203.) 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.)
[767] Deus enim æternus quum sit qui pro nobis moritur, passionem ejus æternam et perpetuò salutarum esse oportet. (Zw. Op. i, p. 206.) Since he who dies for us is the eternal God, his passion must be eternal and for ever saving.
[768] Mori voluit ut nos vitæ restitueret ... (Ibid., p. 204.)
[769] Necesse fuit ut voluntas humana in Christo se divinæ submitteret. (Ibid.)
[770] Hostia est et victima satisfaciens in æternum pro peccatis omnium fidelium. (Ibid., p. 253.) Expurgata peccata multitudinis, hoc est, fidelis populi. (Ibid., p. 264.)
[771] Sequitur meritum nostrorum operum nihil esse quam vanitatem et stultitiam, ne dicam impietatem et ignorantem impudentiam. (Ibid., p. 290.) It follows that the merit of our works is nothing but vanity and folly, not to say impiety and ignorant impudence.
[772] Quotquot ad Deum venerunt unquam, per mortem Christi ad Deum venisse. (Ibid.)
[773] Certus est quod quidquid ex Deo est bonum sit. Si ergo Evangelium ex Deo bonum est. (Ibid., p. 208.)
[774] Quanta caritate nos fures et perduelles. (Zw. Op. i, p. 207.)
