An harmony of the confessions of the faith of the Christian and Reformed Churches which purelie professe the holy doctrine of the Gospell in all the chiefe kingdomes, nations, and prouinces of Europe: the catologue and order whereof the pages following will declare. There are added in the ende verie shorte notes: in which both the obscure thinges are made plaine, & those thinges which maie in shew seeme to be contrarie each to other, are plainelie and verie modestlie reconciled, and if anie points doe as yet hang in doubt, they are sincerelie pointed at. All which things, in the name of the Churches of Fraunce and Belgia, are submitted to the free and discrete iudgement of all other Churches. Newlie translated out of Latine into English. Also in the end is added the confession of the Church of Scotland. Alowed by publique authoritie.

AN ADDITION.

AND we request all that teach in the Churches ne••re adioyning or els where, that receiue the Confession exhibited at Auspurge, 1530. that when they reade these things, if in any point they finde any want, they would lo∣uinglie admonish vs thereof: for that it was not our purpose to bring vp any other kinde of doctrine, but plainlie to recite the summe of the Confession of Auspurge, and the common consent of these Churches▪ and we desire that we may be fauourablie, and not quarrelouslie iudged of. We purpose not to stirre vp new contentions: but especially we pray to the Sonne of God our Lord Iesus Christ, that was crucified for vs, and rose againe, that praied in his agonie, that we might be one in God, that he would make vs also in the most Churches one in himselfe. We whose names are sub∣cribed hereunto, who doe now teach in the Churches & V∣niuersities vnder mentioned, do protest that in this writing,

which we desire to haue rightlie and not quarrelouslie vn∣derstood, we haue recited the common doctrine published in the Churches and Vniuersities, wherein we teach the Gospell, and we are perswaded that this is the true, sincere, and incorrupt doctrine of our Lord Iesus Christ, agreeing with the Apostles and Prophets and with the Creedes, and that it is necessarie for the Churches, and we praie our Lord Iesus Christ, who was crucified for vs, and rose againe, that he would mercifully gouerne and defend these Churches.

Also we offer our selues to further declaration in euerie Article. This was written Anno 1551. Iulie. 10. in the towne of Wirtemberge, where the Pastours of the Churches neere adioyning were met together, &c.
