JOB 33. 2, 3. Behold now I have opened my Mouth:—My Words shall be of the Uprightness of my Heart.

Confitebatur [Lutherus] dolorem suum, quod ab ipsis reflorescentis Evangelii Primordiis, quosvis absque Discrimine ad Coenam dominicam admisisset, quodque Disciplinam, Fratrum Disciplinae similem, apud suos non constituisset. Quia objiciebatur, Fratres non habere Ecclesiam apertam; Responsum fuit, Sancta dare non Sanctis prohibuisse Christum: Errorem [in Papatu] corrigi non posse aliter quam ut certa Probatione, nec illa subitanea, Cordium Arcana revelunter, Novitiique diu et caute tum informentur, tum explorentur. Ratio Disciplinae Fratrum Bohemorum.
