The Augsburg Confession is a Lutheran Confession of Faith that was issued (1530) during the Reformation at the Diet of Augsburg.在奧格斯堡信條是信義信條是發出（ 1530 ）在改革在國會的奧格斯堡。 In 1530, Emperor Charles V convoked the diet as part of his effort to bring religious peace to Europe.在1530年，皇帝查理五世召集飲食的一部分，他的努力使宗教和平的歐洲。 He failed in his efforts, however, because he underestimated the fervor with which the followers of Martin Luther had already formulated a distinctive position.

，供認的奧格斯堡：評，反。 by John H.
Rasmussen (1987).由約翰H拉斯穆森（ 1987年） 。
The Augsburg Confession (1530) is the most widely accepted specifically Lutheran confession, or statement of faith.在奧格斯堡自白（ 1530 ）是最普遍接受的具體信義招供，或聲明的誠意。 It was prepared by the German religious reformer Melanchthon, with Martin Luther's approval, as a summary document for the German nobility, who were called to a diet at Augsburg on June 25, 1530, by the Holy Roman emperor Charles V to present their "Lutheran" views.它是由德國宗教的改革者梅蘭希通，與馬丁路德的批准，作為一個簡要文件為德國貴族，誰被稱為一個在飲食上奧格斯堡1530年六月25日，由神聖羅馬皇帝查爾斯五世提出自己的“路德“意見。
Rejected there, and later amended, the confession - together with the Nicene, Apostles', and Athanasian creeds and Luther's Small Catechism and Large Catechism - constitutes the creedal basis for almost 80 million Lutheran Christians. The Augsburg Confession has been translated into most major languages and many dialects and in its original form is part of the constitution of most Lutheran churches. Lutheran clergy are frequently required to subscribe to it prior to ordination. 拒絕，並於隨後修訂的懺悔-同尼西亞，使徒，並A thanasian信條和路德小問答和大問答-構成了c r eedal基礎幾乎80 00萬路德教基督徒。供認的奧格斯堡已被翻譯成最重要的語言和許多方言，在其最初形式是憲法的最路德教堂。路德會神職人員往往需要訂閱，並事先向協調。
In its modern form the Augsburg Confession consists of 28 articles. The first 21 summarize Lutheran doctrine with special emphasis on justification.在其現代形式的奧格斯堡信條由28條。首先總結21路德學說特別強調的理由。 The second part of the Augsburg Confession reviews the "abuses" for which remedy was demanded, such as withholding the cup from the laity in Holy Communion and forbidding priests to marry.第二部分的奧格斯堡信條評語的“侵犯”而被要求補救措施，如扣發杯子從俗人的聖餐和禁止神父結婚。
Because of its conciliatory tone and brevity, the Augsburg Confession affected the entire Reformation movement, especially in such manifestations as the Anglican Thirty-nine Articles and the theology of the French religious reformer John Calvin, who signed a later version in 1540.由於其和解的語氣和簡潔，在奧格斯堡信條影響到整個改革運動，尤其是在這種現象的英國聖公會39個條款和神學的法國宗教的改革者約翰卡爾文，誰簽署了更新版本的1540號決議。 In more recent times it has been the basis of fruitful ecumenical dialogue between Roman Catholics and Lutherans.在最近的時候，一直是富有成果的基礎上基督教之間的對話羅馬天主教徒和路德會。

The Augsburg Confession is the basic Lutheran confession of faith or statement of what is believed in loyalty to Christ and his Word.在奧格斯堡信條是基本路德招供的信仰或聲明，認為是在忠誠於基督和他的話。 It was presented at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530.據介紹在國會中奧格斯堡1530年。 Philip Melanchthon was its author, but its teachings are clearly those of Martin Luther.菲利浦梅蘭希通是它的作者，但其教義，顯然是馬丁路德。
Charles V called a diet, or convention, of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire to meet in Augsburg in 1530.查爾斯五世所謂的飲食習慣，或公約，對統治者的神聖羅馬帝國，以滿足在奧格斯堡在1530年。 The emperor was staunchly Roman Catholic and wanted the empire to be loyal to Romanism.明仁天皇是堅定的羅馬天主教，並希望帝國忠於羅馬。 He directed those rulers supporting different teachings to present statements of what they believed.他針對這些統治者支持不同的教義提出聲明，他們相信什麼。 Charles wanted religious unity so that the empire could present a united front against foreign enemies, especially the Turks.查爾斯希望宗教的團結，使帝國可以提出對統一戰線的外國敵人，尤其是土耳其人。
Lutheran theologians drafted various preliminary documents, including the Marburg, Schwabach, and Torgau Articles.路德神學初步起草各種文件，其中包括馬爾堡，施瓦巴赫，並托爾文章。 Luther had a hand in their preparation, but he could not attend the diet.路德有一隻手在籌備，但他不能出席減肥。 He had been outlawed by the Edict of Worms (1521), and the Elector of Saxony could not protect him at Augsburg.他已被取締的法令蟲（ 1521 ） ，以及薩克森州選民不能保護他在奧格斯堡。 Since he had been declared a heretic, his presence would have shifted the focus away from doctrinal issues.由於他被宣布為異端，他的存在，將重點轉向遠離理論問題。 His martyrdom would have served no purpose.他的犧牲將毫無意義。 Luther remained at the Coburg but was in constant correspondence with those in Augsburg.路德留在科堡，但在不斷與這些信件在奧格斯堡。
Luther's co-worker, Philip Melanchthon, produced the final draft of the Augsburg Confession.路德的同事，菲利浦梅蘭希通，生產的最後草案奧格斯堡信條。 At that time he was in doctrinal agreement with Luther, who approved of the confession wholeheartedly.當時，他在理論上的協議，路德，誰批准的供詞全心全意。 Luther did note that it might have dealt with a few more errors and abuses, and that he would not have used such a mild tone.路德沒有注意到，它可能已經處理了幾個錯誤和虐待，而且他也不會使用這種溫和的語氣。 The doctrine of the confession is clearly that of the Reformer himself.該學說的供詞顯然，在改革者自己。
The Augsburg Confession was read publicly at the diet in German on the afternoon of June 25, 1530, by Chancellor Christian Beyer of Electoral Saxony.在奧格斯堡自白公開宣讀了在德國的飲食在下午1530年6月25號，由校長基督教拜爾薩克森州的選舉。 Both the German and the Latin copies were handed in as official.無論是德國和拉丁美洲的副本交給在官方。 Melanchton altered later editions, partly to render it ambiguous on points such as the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the Lord's Supper. Melanchton改變後的版本，部分使其含糊不清的點，如實際存在的基督身體和血液中的上帝的晚餐。 He was inclined to compromise on doctrinal issues.他傾向於妥協的理論問題。 That is why Gnesio-Lutherans have often referred to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.這就是為什麼Gnesio ，路德會經常提到的原始奧格斯堡信條。 The Augsburg Confession was included in the Book of Concord (1580) as the basic Lutheran confession.在奧格斯堡信條被列入圖書康（ 1580 ）作為基本的信義招供。
The Augsburg Confession was signed by seven princes and representatives of two independent cities.在奧格斯堡自白簽署了7個王子和代表的兩個獨立的城市。 They believed that the doctrine it taught was biblical and true.他們認為，它的理論是聖經的教導和正確的。 They were the ones to sign it because the diet was precisely a convention of the rulers of the empire.他們是那些簽署的飲食，因為正是公約的統治者的帝國。 But the confession was not intended to present the teachings of some governmental authority.但供詞不打算出席的教誨，一些政府的權威。 It stated what was being taught in the churches in those parts of Germany.它說什麼，正在教教會在這些地區的德國。 The first article begins: "The churches among us teach with great consensus..."(Latin text).第一條開頭： “教會教導我們之間的共識與偉大的..."(拉丁文字） 。
In addition to a preface and a brief conclusion the Augsburg Confession has twenty-eight articles.除了序言和一個簡短的結論的奧格斯堡供認了28條。 The first twenty-one present the Lutheran teaching and reject contrary doctrines.第21本路德教學和拒絕相反理論。 The last seven reject abuses in Christian life.在過去七年反對濫用基督徒的生活。 The confession is too brief fully to present the biblical proof or the testimony of previous theologians.供詞是過於簡短完全本聖經的證據或證言以前的神學家。 In response to a Roman Catholic answer, the Confutation, Melanchthon published in 1531 the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, which deals with the controverted issues at greater length.在回答一個羅馬天主教作答時， Confutation ，梅蘭希通在1531年出版的道歉的奧格斯堡信條，其中涉及controverted問題上更大的長度。
To discuss the teachings of the Augsburg Confession at length would constitute a theology textbook.討論教義的奧格斯堡信條終於將構成神學教科書。 We can at best give some idea of what it says.我們可以在最好提供一些想法，說什麼。 It teaches the Trinity; original sin as true sin that would condemn if not forgiven; the deity and humanity of Jesus; his sacrifice for all human sin; justification by grace through faith without our works; the gospel, baptism, and the Lord's Supper as actual tools of the Holy Spirit to create and sustain faith; good works as a result, not a cause, of salvation, motivated by the good news that salvation has been earned for us by Christ.它教導三位一體;原罪作為真正的罪惡將譴責如果不原諒;的神和人類的耶穌，他的犧牲對所有人權的罪惡;理由寬限期通過信仰沒有我們的作品;福音，洗禮，和上帝的晚餐作為實際工具聖靈創造和維持的信念;的優秀作品作為一個結果，而不是一個原因，拯救，動機是好消息，拯救已為我們贏得了基督。 Much more could be said, but this indicates that the Augsburg Confession simply teaches the position which Lutherans consider biblical.更可以說，但是這表明，奧格斯堡信條只是教的立場路德會考慮聖經。
The abuses corrected include various false ideas and practices in the Lord's Supper; clerical celibacy; the misuse of confession and absolution; the dietary laws of medieval Romanism; and the idea of a hierarchy in visible Christendom having divine authority in matters of conscience.糾正的行為包括：各種虛假的想法和做法，上帝的晚餐;辦事員獨身;濫用懺悔和赦免;膳食法律的中世紀羅馬;和的想法等級有明顯的基督教神聖權力事項的良知。

And inasmuch as we, the undersigned Elector and Princes, with others joined with us, have been called to the aforesaid Diet the same as the other Electors, Princes, and Estates, in obedient compliance with the Imperial mandate, we have promptly come to Augsburg, and -- what we do not mean to say as boasting -- we were among the first to be here.而因為我們，以下選和王子，與其他國家與我們一道，被稱為上述飲食一樣，其他選民，王子，以及房地產，在服從遵守帝國的任務，我們必須及時到奧格斯堡，而且-我們做什麼並不是說作為吹噓-我們是第一批到這裡來。

Your Imperial Majesty also, not only once but often, graciously signified to the Electors Princes, and Estates of the Empire, and at the Diet of Spires held AD 1526, according to the form of Your Imperial instruction and commission given and prescribed, caused it to be stated and publicly proclaimed that Your Majesty, in dealing with this matter of religion, for certain reasons which were alleged in Your Majesty's name, was not willing to decide and could not determine anything, but that Your Majesty would diligently use Your Majesty's office with the Roman Pontiff for the convening of a General Council.您的帝國陛下還，不僅一次，但常常慷慨標誌著向選民王子，和房地產帝國，並在國會舉行的尖塔公元1526年，根據你的形式帝國的指示，並委託給和規定，導致必須指出，並公開宣布，陛下，在處理這件事的宗教，為某些原因，被指控在陛下的名字，不願意作出決定，並不能確定什麼，但陛下將努力利用陛下的辦公室與羅馬教皇召開總理事會。 The same matter was thus publicly set forth at greater length a year ago at the last Diet which met at Spires.同一事項的公開，因此提出更詳細一年前在最後舉行的國會在尖塔。 There Your Imperial Majesty, through His Highness Ferdinand, King of Bohemia and Hungary, our friend and clement Lord, as well as through the Orator and Imperial Commissioners caused this, among other things, to be submitted: that Your Imperial Majesty had taken notice of; and pondered, the resolution of Your Majesty's Representative in the Empire, and of the President and Imperial Counselors, and the Legates from other Estates convened at Ratisbon, concerning the calling of a Council, and that your Imperial Majesty also judged it to be expedient to convene a Council; and that Your Imperial Majesty did not doubt the Roman Pontiff could be induced to hold a General Council, because the matters to be adjusted between Your Imperial Majesty and the Roman Pontiff were nearing agreement and Christian reconciliation; therefore Your Imperial Majesty himself signified that he would endeavor to secure the said Chief Pontiff's consent for convening, together with your Imperial Majesty such General Council, to be published as soon as possible by letters that were to be sent out.有您的帝國陛下，通過殿下費迪南德，波希米亞國王和匈牙利，我們的朋友和克萊門特主，以及通過演講和帝國專員造成這一點，除其他事項外，應提交：即您的帝國陛下已採取的通知;和思考，解決陛下的代表在帝國和帝國總統和輔導員，並從其他Legates莊園召開Ratisbon ，關於要求對安理會的，而且您的帝國陛下也認為這是權宜之計召開一次理事會; ，以及您的帝國陛下並不懷疑羅馬教皇可誘導舉行總理事會，因為該事項予以調整您的帝國之間陛下和羅馬教皇已接近達成協議和基督教和解;因此，您的帝國陛下他所指，他將努力確保行政教宗說，同意召開，連同您的帝國陛下總理事會等，將刊登盡快信件將被發出。

To this appeal, both to Your Imperial Majesty and to a Council, we still adhere; neither do we intend nor would it be possible for us, to relinquish it by this or any other document, unless the matter between us and the other side, according to the tenor of the latest Imperial citation should be amicably and charitably settled, allayed, and brought to Christian concord; and regarding this we even here solemnly and publicly testify.大會的總理事會，並在同一時間到您的帝國國王陛下，我們有，甚至在此之前，在適當的方式和形式的法律，給自己提出上訴，並在這個問題上，迄今為止最大也是最嚴重。要這一呼籲，以您的帝國國王陛下和安理會，我們仍然堅持，我們也不打算，也不會有可能對我們來說，放棄它的這個或任何其他文件，除非我們之間的問題和其他方面，根據對男高音的最新帝國引文應友好和慈善解決，減輕，並提請基督教和諧;和關於這一點，我們甚至在這裡莊嚴和公開作證。

They are admonished also that human traditions instituted to propitiate God, to merit grace, and to make satisfaction for sins, are opposed to the Gospel and the doctrine of faith. Wherefore vows and traditions concerning meats and days, etc., instituted to merit grace and to make satisfaction for sins, are useless and contrary to the Gospel.他們還告誡人類傳統的建立，以和解的上帝，值得寬限期，並作出滿意的罪孽，反對福音和理論的信念。何故誓言和傳統的肉類和天等，建立值得寬限期並作出滿意的罪孽，是無用的，違反了福音。

They condemn the Pelagians and others, who teach that without the Holy Ghost, by the power of nature alone, we are able to love God above all things; also to do the commandments of God as touching "the substance of the act."他們譴責Pelagians和其他人，誰教，沒有聖靈，由權力的性質，僅我們能夠熱愛上帝高於一切;也這樣做上帝的誡命作為觸摸“的實質行為。 ” For, although nature is able in a manner to do the outward work, (for it is able to keep the hands from theft and murder,) yet it cannot produce the inward motions, such as the fear of God, trust in God, chastity, patience, etc.因為，雖然性質是可以的方式做外向型的工作， （因為它是能夠保持手從盜竊和謀殺罪） ，但它不能產生內向的動議，如恐懼上帝，對上帝的信仰，貞操，耐心，等
Forasmuch, therefore, as the doctrine concerning faith, which ought to be the chief one in the Church, has lain so long unknown, as all must needs grant that there was the deepest silence in their sermons concerning the righteousness of faith, while only the doctrine of works was treated in the churches, our teachers have instructed the churches concerning faith as follows: -- Forasmuch ，因此，有關的理論的信仰，這應該是一個主要的教會，已經躺這麼久不明，因為所有需要的補助金必須有最深切的沉默在他們的說教關於正義的信念，而只理論處理工程中的教堂，我們的教師已指示有關教會信仰如下： -
First, that our works cannot reconcile God or merit forgiveness of sins, grace, and justification, but that we obtain this only by faith when we believe that we are received into favor for Christs sake, who alone has been set forth the Mediator and Propitiation, 1 Tim.首先，我們的工作不能調和上帝或值得原諒的罪孽，寬限期，並說明理由，但我們取得這個只有通過信仰時，我們認為，我們贊成把收到的基督的緣故，誰就有已經提出了調解和和解1蒂姆。 2, 6, in order that the Father may be reconciled through Him. 2 ， 6 ，為了使父親可能是通過他核對。 Whoever, therefore, trusts that by works he merits grace, despises the merit and grace of Christ, and seeks a way to God without Christ, by human strength, although Christ has said of Himself: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.誰，因此，相信他的作品的優點寬限期，鄙視的優點和優雅的基督，並尋求一種沒有上帝基督，人類的力量，但耶穌說他自己：我的路，真相，以及生命。 John 14, 6.約翰14日， 6 。
This doctrine concerning faith is everywhere treated by Paul, Eph.關於這一理論的信仰是到處治療保羅，厄。 2, 8: By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, etc. 2日， 8日：通過寬限期是你們挽救信仰; ，並沒有你們，這是上帝的禮物，而不是工程等
And lest any one should craftily say that a new interpretation of Paul has been devised by us, this entire matter is supported by the testimonies of the Fathers.和任何一個，否則應巧妙地說，一個新的解釋，保羅已經制定的我們來說，這是整個問題所支持的證詞的父親。 For Augustine, in many volumes, defends grace and the righteousness of faith, over against the merits of works.對於奧古斯丁，在許多卷，寬限期和捍衛正義的信念，在對案情的作品。 And Ambrose, in his De Vocatione Gentium, and elsewhere, teaches to like effect.和劉漢銓，在他的德Vocatione Gentium ，和其他地方任教喜歡的效果。 For in his De Vocatione Gentium he says as follows: Redemption by the blood of Christ would become of little value, neither would the preeminence of man's works be superseded by the mercy of God, if justification, which is wrought through grace, were due to the merits going before, so as to be, not the free gift of a donor, but the reward due to the laborer.在他的德Vocatione Gentium他說如下：贖回的基督的血將成為價值不大，也不會在優越的人的作品取代了上帝的憐憫，如果理由，這是造成通過的寬限期，是由於去的是非曲直之前，以便，而不是免費的禮物的捐助，但由於獎勵的勞動者。
But, although this doctrine is despised by the inexperienced, nevertheless God-fearing and anxious consciences find by experience that it brings the greatest consolation, because consciences cannot be set at rest through any works, but only by faith, when they take the sure ground that for Christ's sake they have a reconciled God.但是，儘管這一理論是鄙視的經驗，但敬畏上帝和焦慮的良知發現的經驗，它帶來最大的安慰，因為良心不能定為通過其他任何工程，但只有通過信仰，當他們採取確保地面為基督的緣故，他們有一個調和的上帝。 As Paul teaches Rom.如保羅教導光盤。 5, 1: Being justified by faith, we have peace with God. 5 ， 1 ：作為合理的信念，我們有和平與上帝。 This whole doctrine is to be referred to that conflict of the terrified conscience, neither can it be understood apart from that conflict.這是整個理論被稱為這一衝突的恐懼良心，既不能被理解除了這一衝突。 Therefore inexperienced and profane men judge ill concerning this matter, who dream that Christian righteousness is nothing but civil and philosophical righteousness.因此，缺乏經驗和世俗的男女法官虐待關於這個問題，誰夢想，基督教義只不過是民間和哲學正氣。
Heretofore consciences were plagued with the doctrine of works, they did not hear the consolation from the Gospel.迄今為止被困擾的良知與理論的作品，他們沒有聽到安慰的福音。 Some persons were driven by conscience into the desert, into monasteries hoping there to merit grace by a monastic life. Some also devised other works whereby to merit grace and make satisfaction for sins.有些人的良知驅動的沙漠，到寺廟希望有值得寬限期的寺院生活。有些還設計了其他工程，即值得的寬限期，使滿意的罪孽。 Hence there was very great need to treat of, and renew, this doctrine of faith in Christ, to the end that anxious consciences should not be without consolation but that they might know that grace and forgiveness of sins and justification are apprehended by faith in Christ.因此，非常非常需要治療的，並重申，這一學說的信仰基督，以期焦慮的良知不應該沒有安慰，但他們可能知道，恩典和寬恕的罪孽和理由被逮捕的基督信仰。
Men are also admonished that here the term "faith" does not signify merely the knowledge of the history, such as is in the ungodly and in the devil, but signifies a faith which believes, not merely the history, but also the effect of the history -- namely, this Article: the forgiveness of sins, to wit, that we have grace, righteousness, and forgiveness of sins through Christ.男子也告誡，這裡的“信仰”並不意味著僅僅是知識的歷史，如在ungodly和魔鬼，但標誌著一個信仰認為，不僅是歷史，而且還影響歷史-即，這條：免除罪孽，即，我們已經寬限期，義，和寬恕的罪孽通過基督。
Now he that knows that he has a Father gracious to him through Christ, truly knows God; he knows also that God cares for him, and calls upon God; in a word, he is not without God, as the heathen.現在，他知道，他父親給他親切通過基督，真正知道上帝，他也知道，上帝照顧他，並呼籲上帝;一句話，他是沒有上帝，為異教徒。 For devils and the ungodly are not able to believe this Article: the forgiveness of sins.為魔鬼和ungodly無法相信，這條：免除罪孽。 Hence, they hate God as an enemy, call not upon Him, and expect no good from Him. Augustine also admonishes his readers concerning the word "faith," and teaches that the term "faith" is accepted in the Scriptures not for knowledge such as is in the ungodly but for confidence which consoles and encourages the terrified mind.因此，他們仇恨上帝視為敵人，不是要求他，並期望沒有好他。奧古斯丁也admonishes他的讀者就改為“誠意” ，並教導我們的“誠信”是公認的聖經沒有這樣的知識作為在ungodly ，但信心遊戲機和鼓勵嚇壞了一點。
Furthermore, it is taught on our part that it is necessary to do good works, not that we should trust to merit grace by them, but because it is the will of God.此外，它告訴我們，有必要做的優秀作品，而不是我們應該值得信任的寬限期，但因為它是上帝的意志。 It is only by faith that forgiveness of sins is apprehended, and that, for nothing.這是唯一的信念，寬恕的罪孽是逮捕，而且沒有意義。 And because through faith the Holy Ghost is received, hearts are renewed and endowed with new affections, so as to be able to bring forth good works.因為信仰的聖靈是收到的，心是重新賦予了新的感情，以便能帶來良好的工程。 For Ambrose says: Faith is the mother of a good will and right doing.對於劉漢銓說：信仰是母親的良好意願和權利這樣做。 For man's powers without the Holy Ghost are full of ungodly affections, and are too weak to do works which are good in God's sight.對於人的權力沒有聖靈充滿ungodly感情，而且太弱，無法做工程，良好的上帝的視線。 Besides, they are in the power of the devil who impels men to divers sins, to ungodly opinions, to open crimes.此外，他們在權力的魔鬼誰迫使男子跳水的罪孽，以ungodly意見，以開放的罪行。 This we may see in the philosophers, who, although they endeavored to live an honest life could not succeed, but were defiled with many open crimes.這是我們可能會看到的哲學家，誰，但他們努力地生活一個誠實的生活可能不會成功，但玷污了許多開放的罪行。 Such is the feebleness of man when he is without faith and without the Holy Ghost, and governs himself only by human strength.這是弱智的人當他是沒有誠意和沒有聖靈，並規範自己只有通過人類的力量。
Hence it may be readily seen that this doctrine is not to be charged with prohibiting good works, but rather the more to be commended, because it shows how we are enabled to do good works.因此，隨時可以看到，這一理論是不被落案控以禁止的優秀作品，而是更多地受到讚揚，因為它表明我們如何能夠做好工作。 For without faith human nature can in no wise do the works of the First or of the Second Commandment.沒有信仰的人的本性可以在任何明智的工程做的第一或第二誡命。 Without faith it does not call upon God, nor expect anything from God, nor bear the cross, but seeks, and trusts in, man's help.沒有信仰並不呼籲上帝，也不指望什麼上帝，也不承擔交叉，但要求，並相信中，男子的幫助。 And thus, when there is no faith and trust in God all manner of lusts and human devices rule in the heart.因此，如果沒有信心和信任上帝的各種形式的lusts和人力設備統治的心臟。 Wherefore Christ said, John 16,6: Without Me ye can do nothing; and the Church sings:何故耶穌說，約翰16.6 ：沒有我你們可以什麼也不做;和教會唱的：
Lacking Thy
divine favor,沒有你的神聖的贊成票，
There is nothing found in
man,沒有任何人發現，
Naught in him is
harmless.化為泡影，他是無害的。
This is about the Sum of our Doctrine, in which, as can be seen, there is nothing that varies from the Scriptures, or from the Church Catholic, or from the Church of Rome as known from its writers.這是對我們的心學說，其中可以看出，沒有任何不同，聖經，或從天主教教會，或從羅馬教會已知其作家。 This being the case, they judge harshly who insist that our teachers be regarded as heretics.在這種情況下，他們判斷誰堅持嚴厲，我們的教師被視為異端。 There is, however, disagreement on certain Abuses, which have crept into the Church without rightful authority.然而，對某些分歧行為，已悄悄進入教會沒有應有的權威。 And even in these, if there were some difference, there should be proper lenity on the part of bishops to bear with us by reason of the Confession which we have now reviewed; because even the Canons are not so severe as to demand the same rites everywhere, neither, at any time, have the rites of all churches been the same; although, among us, in large part, the ancient rites are diligently observed.而即使在這些，如果有一些差異，應該有適當的lenity的一部分主教承擔同我們的原因進行了懺悔，我們現在已經審查; ，因為即使是規不那麼嚴重，要求在同一儀式各地，無論在任何時候，有禮儀的所有教堂是相同的; ，雖然我們中間，在很大程度上是古老的儀式是認真觀察。 For it is a false and malicious charge that all the ceremonies, all the things instituted of old, are abolished in our churches.因為它是一種虛假和惡意收費，所有的儀式，所有的事情提起歲，是取消了我們的教堂。 But it has been a common complaint that some abuses were connected with the ordinary rites. These, inasmuch as they could not be approved with a good conscience, have been to some extent corrected.但是，它一直是共同的投訴，有些行為都與普通的儀式。這些，因為他們不能得到批准具有良好的良心，已經在一定程度上糾正。
ARTICLES IN WHICH ARE REVIEWED THE ABUSES WHICH HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.文章在回顧了事件已得到糾正。
Inasmuch, then, as our churches dissent in no article of the faith from the Church Catholic, but only omit some abuses which are new, and which have been erroneously accepted by the corruption of the times, contrary to the intent of the Canons, we pray that Your Imperial Majesty would graciously hear both what has been changed, and what were the reasons why the people were not compelled to observe those abuses against their conscience.因為，那麼，我們的教會在沒有異議的文章從信仰天主教教會，但只有省略一些侵犯，是新的，並已被錯誤地接受了腐敗的時代，相反的意圖規，我們祈禱，你的帝國陛下將欣然聽到什麼都改變了，什麼原因沒有人強迫遵守那些侵害自己的良心。 Nor should Your Imperial Majesty believe those who, in order to excite the hatred of men against our part, disseminate strange slanders among the people.也不應您的帝國陛下認為，這些誰，為了激發仇恨的男人對我們而言，散發奇怪的誹謗的人。 Having thus excited the minds of good men, they have first given occasion to this controversy, and now endeavor, by the same arts, to increase the discord.從而激發了心中的好男人，他們首先考慮的機會這場爭論，現在奮鬥，由同一藝術，增加不和諧。 For Your Imperial Majesty will undoubtedly find that the form of doctrine and of ceremonies with us is not so intolerable as these ungodly and malicious men represent.為您的帝國陛下無疑將發現的形式，理論和儀式與我們並非如此不能容忍的，因為這些ungodly和惡意的男人代表。 Besides, the truth cannot be gathered from common rumors or the revilings of enemies.此外，真理不能被收集從普通謠言或revilings的敵人。 But it can readily be judged that nothing would serve better to maintain the dignity of ceremonies, and to nourish reverence and pious devotion among the people than if the ceremonies were observed rightly in the churches.但它可以很容易地判斷，什麼將有助於更好地維護尊嚴的儀式，並滋養崇敬和虔誠奉獻的人比，如果儀式，觀察正確的教堂。
And lest any man should craftily say that this refers only to priests, Paul in 1 Cor.和任何人，否則應巧妙地說，這只是指神父，保羅在1肺心病。 11,27 recites an example from which it appears that the whole congregation did use both kinds. 11,27叨唸一個例子看來，整個教會也使用兩種。 And this usage has long remained in the Church, nor is it known when, or by whose authority, it was changed; although Cardinal Cusanus mentions the time when it was approved.這一使用率一直保持在教會，也不是知道什麼時候，或由他們的權力，這是改變;雖然提到樞機主教庫薩的時候獲得批准。 Cyprian in some places testifies that the blood was given to the people. The same is testified by Jerome, who says: The priests administer the Eucharist, and distribute the blood of Christ to the people.塞浦路斯在一些地方證明，血液交給了人民。同樣證明了杰羅姆，誰說：管理的神父聖體，並散發基督的血的人。 Indeed, Pope Gelasius commands that the Sacrament be not divided (dist. II., De Consecratione, cap. Comperimus).事實上，教皇格拉西命令，在聖不除以（ dist.二。 ，德Consecratione ，帽。 Comperimus ） 。 Only custom, not so ancient, has it otherwise. But it is evident that any custom introduced against the commandments of God is not to be allowed, as the Canons witness (dist. III., cap. Veritate, and the following chapters).只有習俗，並非如此古老，它並非如此。但顯而易見的是，任何習俗介紹了對上帝的誡命是不能容許的規證人（ dist.三。 ，帽。 Veritate ，和以下各章） 。 But this custom has been received, not only against the Scripture, but also against the old Canons and the example of the Church.但是，這一習俗已收到，不僅是對聖經，而且是對舊規的例子教會。 Therefore, if any preferred to use both kinds of the Sacrament, they ought not to have been compelled with offense to their consciences to do otherwise.因此，如果任何傾向於使用這兩種聖，他們不應該被強迫與進攻，以他們的良知不這樣做。 And because the division of the Sacrament does not agree with the ordinance of Christ, we are accustomed to omit the procession, which hitherto has been in use.因為分裂的聖不同意本條例的基督，我們習慣於省略遊行，這一直被使用。
It is also evident that in the ancient Church priests were married men.同樣明顯的是，在古老的教堂神父已婚男子。 For Paul says, 1 Tim.保羅說， 1蒂姆。 3, 2, that a bishop should be chosen who is the husband of one wife. 3 ， 2 ，一個主教應選擇誰是丈夫的妻子。 And in Germany, four hundred years ago for the first time, the priests were violently compelled to lead a single life, who indeed offered such resistance that the Archbishop of Mayence, when about to publish the Pope's decree concerning this matter, was almost killed in the tumult raised by the enraged priests.在德國，四百年前的第一時間，神父暴力強迫導致一個單一的生命，誰確實提供了這種反抗的大主教馬揚斯，當即將公佈教宗的法令，關於這個問題，幾乎喪生動盪提出了憤怒的牧師。 And so harsh was the dealing in the matter that not only were marriages forbidden for the future, but also existing marriages were torn asunder, contrary to all laws, divine and human, contrary even to the Canons themselves, made not only by the Popes, but by most celebrated Synods.因此，惡劣的是處理這個問題，不僅有禁止結婚的未來，而且現有的婚姻四分五裂相反，一切法律，神聖和人力，甚至相反的規本身，不僅由教皇，但最有名的Synods 。 [Moreover, many God-fearing and intelligent people in high station are known frequently to have expressed misgivings that such enforced celibacy and depriving men of marriage (which God Himself has instituted and left free to men) has never produced any good results, but has brought on many great and evil vices and much iniquity.] [此外，許多敬畏上帝和聰明人在高台被稱為經常都表示疑慮，這種強迫獨身，並剝奪男性的婚姻（其中上帝已制定和左自由人）從來沒有產生任何好的結果，但帶來許多偉大的和邪惡的罪惡和許多不公正。 ]
Seeing also that, as the world is aging, man's nature is gradually growing weaker, it is well to guard that no more vices steal into Germany.也看到，隨著世界老齡化，人的本質是逐步減弱，這是很好地防範，沒有更多的惡習竊取到德國。
Furthermore, God ordained marriage to be a help against human infirmity.此外，結婚晉牧上帝是一個對人類幫助體弱多病。 The Canons themselves say that the old rigor ought now and then, in the latter times, to be relaxed because of the weakness of men; which it is to be wished were done also in this matter.該規例自己說，舊的嚴謹現在應該然後在後者的時候，要放鬆，因為男人的弱點;它是希望還進行了在這一問題上。 And it is to be expected that the churches shall at some time lack pastors if marriage is any longer forbidden.這是可以預期，教會應在一段時間內，如果缺乏牧人的婚姻不再是被禁止的。
But while the commandment of God is in force, while the custom of the Church is well known, while impure celibacy causes many scandals, adulteries, and other crimes deserving the punishments of just magistrates, yet it is a marvelous thing that in nothing is more cruelty exercised than against the marriage of priests.但是，上帝的誡命是有效的，而自訂的教會是眾所周知的，而不純獨身的原因很多醜聞， adulteries ，和其他犯罪行為值得處罰的公正法官，但它是一個了不起的事情，在沒有更多的比殘酷行使對結婚的牧師。 God has given commandment to honor marriage.上帝給了誡履行婚姻。 By the laws of all well-ordered commonwealths, even among the heathen, marriage is most highly honored.通過法律的所有有序英聯邦，即使是不信教的，婚姻是最榮幸。 But now men, and that, priests, are cruelly put to death, contrary to the intent of the Canons, for no other cause than marriage. Paul, in 1 Tim.但現在男子，而且，牧師，是殘酷了死刑，相反的意圖規，沒有其他原因不是婚姻。保羅，在1蒂姆。 4,3, calls that a doctrine of devils which forbids marriage. 4,3 ，電話，一個學說的魔鬼禁止結婚。 This may now be readily understood when the law against marriage is maintained by such penalties.現在這可能容易理解的法律時，對婚姻是保持這種刑罰。
But as no law of man can annul the commandment of God, so neither can it be done by any vow.但由於沒有法律的人可以撤銷上帝的誡命，所以也不能做任何承諾。 Accordingly, Cyprian also advises that women who do not keep the chastity they have promised should marry.因此，塞浦路斯還建議，婦女誰不保持貞節，他們已答應要結婚。 His words are these (Book I, Epistle XI ): But if they be unwilling or unable to persevere, it is better for them to marry than to fall into the fire by their lusts; they should certainly give no offense to their brethren and sisters.他的話，這些（第一冊，書信十一） ：但是，如果他們不願或不能堅持，最好是讓他們結婚，而不是落入他們的消防lusts ;他們應該給予肯定沒有進攻的兄弟姐妹們。
And even the Canons show some leniency toward those who have taken vows before the proper age, as heretofore has generally been the ease.甚至規表現出一定的寬容對那些已採取誰面前發誓適當的年齡，因為在此之前，一般的難易程度。
But it is evident that for a long time this also has been the public and most grievous complaint of all good men that Masses have been basely profaned and applied to purposes of lucre. For it is not unknown how far this abuse obtains in all the churches by what manner of men Masses are said only for fees or stipends, and how many celebrate them contrary to the Canons.但顯而易見的是，很長一段時間，這也一直是公眾和最嚴重的投訴都是好男人的群眾已basely褻瀆和適用於施行財富。對於它不是未知多遠這種濫用獲得的所有教堂通過何種方式的男子說，群眾不僅對費或津貼，以及如何慶祝他們的許多違反規例。 But Paul severely threatens those who deal unworthily with the Eucharist when he says, 1 Cor.11,27: Whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.但保羅嚴重威脅誰處理這些unworthily與聖體聖事時，他說， 1 Cor.11 ， 27 ：任何人不得吃這種麵包，這杯飲料的上帝， unworthily ，即屬機構和血液的上帝。 When, therefore our priests were admonished concerning this sin, Private Masses were discontinued among us, as scarcely any Private Masses were celebrated except for lucre's sake.當，因此，我們的神父告誡有關這一罪惡，民營群眾停止在我們中間，因為幾乎沒有任何私人群眾慶祝除了金錢的緣故。
Neither were the bishops ignorant of these abuses, and if they had corrected them in time, there would now be less dissension.無論是無知的主教對這些行為，如果他們已糾正他們的時間，但現在將減少糾紛。 Heretofore, by their own connivance, they suffered many corruptions to creep into the Church.在此之前，自己的縱容，他們遭受了許多腐敗蔓延到教會。 Now, when it is too late, they begin to complain of the troubles of the Church, while this disturbance has been occasioned simply by those abuses which were so manifest that they could be borne no longer.現在，當為時已晚，他們開始抱怨麻煩的教會，而這個干擾已引起僅僅通過這些虐待行為是如此明顯，他們可以不再承擔。 There have been great dissensions concerning the Mass, concerning the Sacrament.有偉大的糾紛關於質量，關於聖。 Perhaps the world is being punished for such long-continued profanations of the Mass as have been tolerated in the churches for so many centuries by the very men who were both able and in duty bound to correct them.也許，世界正受到懲罰，例如長期持續profanations大眾作為已經不能容忍的教會這麼多世紀的非常男女都是誰能夠並且有義務予以糾正。 For in the Ten Commandments it is written, Ex.對於在十誡是書面的，當然。 20, 7: The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain. 20日， 7 ：上帝不會認為他無罪taketh他的名字都是徒勞的。 But since the world began, nothing that God ever ordained seems to have been so abused for filthy lucre as the Mass.但是，由於世界開始，沒有什麼，上帝都祝似乎已經被濫用，使贓款作為馬薩諸塞州
There was also added the opinion which infinitely increased Private Masses, namely that Christ, by His passion, had made satisfaction for original sin, and instituted the Mass wherein an offering should be made for daily sins, venial and mortal. From this has arisen the common opinion that the Mass takes away the sins of the living and the dead by the outward act. Then they began to dispute whether one Mass said for many were worth as much as special Masses for individuals, and this brought forth that infinite multitude of Masses.也有輿論說，這無限增加私人群眾，即基督，由他的熱情，取得了滿意的原罪，並設立了大眾提供，其中一個應為每日的罪孽， venial和致命的。從這個產生的共同認為，大眾帶走的罪過的生活和死亡的外向行為。然後，他們開始爭議是否為大眾說，許多人高達特殊群眾的個人，而這帶來的無限眾多的群眾。 [With this work men wished to obtain from God all that they needed, and in the mean time faith in Christ and the true worship were forgotten.] [隨著這項工作的人希望獲得來自上帝的一切，他們需要，並同時在基督信仰和真正的崇拜被遺忘了。 ]
Concerning these opinions our teachers have given warning that they depart from the Holy Scriptures and diminish the glory of the passion of Christ.對於這些意見我們的老師給他們警告說，背離聖經和減少的榮耀基督的受難史。 For Christ's passion was an oblation and satisfaction, not for original guilt only, but also for all other sins, as it is written to the Hebrews, 10, 10: We are sanctified through the offering of Jesus Christ once for all.基督的激情是一種奉獻和滿意度，而不是原來的只有內疚，而且也為其他所有的罪孽，因為它是書面的希伯來人， 10 ， 10 ：我們是聖潔通過提供耶穌基督一勞永逸的。 Also, 10, 14: By one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.此外， 10日， 14日：通過提供一個完善的上帝，他永遠是他們神聖。 [It is an unheard-of innovation in the Church to teach that Christ by His death made satisfaction only for original sin and not likewise for all other sin. Accordingly it is hoped that everybody will understand that this error has not been reproved without due reason.] [這是一個前所未聞的創新，在教會的教導基督的他的逝世不僅取得滿意的原罪，而不是同樣的所有其他罪惡。因此，希望大家會明白，這個錯誤並沒有責備沒有適當的理由。 ]
Scripture also teaches that we are justified before God through faith in Christ, when we believe that our sins are forgiven for Christ's sake.聖經也教導我們，我們有理由通過之前，上帝在基督信仰，當我們認為我們的罪孽是原諒的基督的緣故。 Now if the Mass take away the sins of the living and the dead by the outward act justification comes of the work of Masses, and not of faith, which Scripture does not allow.現在，如果群眾拿走的罪孽的生活和死亡的外向行為的理由是工作的群眾，沒有信仰，這聖經不允許。
But Christ commands us, Luke 22, 19: This do in remembrance of Me; therefore the Mass was instituted that the faith of those who use the Sacrament should remember what benefits it receives through Christ, and cheer and comfort the anxious conscience.但是，耶穌命令我們，盧克22日， 19日：本做紀念，我因此被大眾提起的信念的人誰使用聖應該記住什麼好處獲得通過基督，並歡呼和舒適性焦慮的良知。 For to remember Christ is to remember His benefits, and to realize that they are truly offered unto us. Nor is it enough only to remember the history; for this also the Jews and the ungodly can remember.為了記住基督是要記住他的好處，認識到他們是真正為你們我們。也不是足夠的唯一要記住的歷史;這也為猶太人和ungodly可以記住。 Wherefore the Mass is to be used to this end, that there the Sacrament [Communion] may be administered to them that have need of consolation; as Ambrose says: Because I always sin, I am always bound to take the medicine.何故大眾將用於這一目的，有聖[交流]可以管理他們，有需要的安慰;作為劉漢銓說：因為我始終罪過，我總是感到有義務採取的藥品。 [Therefore this Sacrament requires faith, and is used in vain without faith.] [因此，本聖需要信仰，是用來徒勞沒有信仰。 ]
Now, forasmuch as the Mass is such a giving of the Sacrament, we hold one communion every holy-day, and, if any desire the Sacrament, also on other days, when it is given to such as ask for it.現在， forasmuch的質量就是這樣一個給予的聖餐，我們每一個神聖的共融天，如果任何願望的聖餐，也對其他天，當它是考慮到，如要求它。 And this custom is not new in the Church; for the Fathers before Gregory make no mention of any private Mass, but of the common Mass [the Communion] they speak very much. Chrysostom says that the priest stands daily at he altar, inviting some to the Communion and keeping back others.這一風俗是不是新的教會;的父親格雷戈里面前不提任何私人彌撒，但共同群眾[的共融]他們說話非常。金口說，神父站在他每天都在祭壇上，邀請一些在交流和維持回來等。 And it appears from the ancient Canons that some one celebrated the Mass from whom all the other presbyters and deacons received the body of he Lord; for thus the words of the Nicene Canon say: Let the deacons, according to their order, receive the Holy Communion after the presbyters, from the bishop or from a presbyter.看來從古代規，一些人慶祝的群眾從他們的所有其他長老和執事收到的屍體，他主;為因此的話尼西亞佳能說：讓執事，根據他們的命令，接受聖靈交流後的長老，從主教或由發起人。 And Paul, 1 Cor.和保羅， 1肺心病。 11, 33, commands concerning the Communion: Tarry one for another, so that there may be a common participation. 11日， 33歲，命令有關聖餐：焦油狀的另一之一，因此，可能有一個共同的參與。
Forasmuch, therefore, as the Mass with us has the example of the Church, taken from the Scripture and the Fathers, we are confident that it cannot be disapproved, especially since public ceremonies, for the most part like those hitherto in use, are retained; only the number of Masses differs, which, because of very great and manifest abuses doubtless might be profitably reduced. Forasmuch ，因此，大眾已與我們的榜樣，教會，取自聖經和父輩，我們有信心，它不能被拒絕，尤其是因為公開儀式，其中多數是像以前在使用中，有保留;只有一些群眾不同，這是因為非常明顯的侵權行為，並毫無疑問，可能是盈利的減少。 For in olden times, even in churches most frequented, the Mass was not celebrated every day, as the Tripartite History (Book 9, chap. 33) testifies: Again in Alexandria, every Wednesday and Friday the Scriptures are read, and the doctors expound them, and all things are done, except the solemn rite of Communion.在古代，即使在最常去的教堂，地下是不是每天都在慶祝，因為三方史（圖書9日，第一章。 33 ）證明：在亞歷山大再次，每星期三和星期五聖經閱讀，並闡述醫生他們和所有的事情都做，但莊嚴的儀式共融。
But of Confession they teach that an enumeration of sins is not necessary, and that consciences be not burdened with anxiety to enumerate all sins, for it is impossible to recount all sins, as the Psalm testifies, 19,13: Who can understand his errors?但是，他們的信條教導列舉的罪孽是沒有必要，而且良心不能背負著焦慮，以列舉所有的罪孽，因為這是不可能重新所有的罪孽，因為詩篇證明， 19,13 ：誰可以理解他的錯誤？ Also Jeremiah, 17 9: The heart is deceitful; who can know it; But if no sins were forgiven, except those that are recounted, consciences could never find peace; for very many sins they neither see nor can remember.此外耶利米， 17日9 ：核心是騙人的，誰能夠知道它;但是，如果沒有被原諒的罪孽，除非那些回憶，良心永遠無法找到和平;的很多罪孽，他們既沒有看到也能記住。 The ancient writers also testify that an enumeration is not necessary.古代作家也證明，列舉是沒有必要的。 For in the Decrees, Chrysostom is quoted, who says thus: I say not to you that you should disclose yourself in public, nor that you accuse yourself before others, but I would have you obey the prophet who says: "Disclose thy self before God." Therefore confess your sins before God, the true Judge, with prayer.對於在法令，引用金口，因此，誰說：我不說你，你應披露自己在公共場所，也不是你自己面前指責他人，但我要你聽誰先知說： “你的自我披露之前上帝。 “因此，承認你的罪孽上帝面前，真正的法官，祈禱。 Tell your errors, not with the tongue, but with the memory of your conscience, etc. And the Gloss (Of Repentance, Distinct. V, Cap. Consideret) admits that Confession is of human right only [not commanded by Scripture, but ordained by the Church].告訴你的錯誤，而不是舌頭，但隨著內存的良知等等，光澤度（悔改的，獨特的。第五章。 Consideret ）承認，供認是人權的唯一[不指揮的聖經，但祝教會] 。 Nevertheless, on account of the great benefit of absolution, and because it is otherwise useful to the conscience, Confession is retained among us.然而，到了十分有益的赦免，因為這是其他有用的良心，懺悔是保留在我們中間。
First, the doctrine of grace and of the righteousness of faith has been obscured by it, which is the chief part of the Gospel, and ought to stand out as the most prominent in the Church, in order that the merit of Christ may be well known, and faith, which believes that sins are forgiven for Christ's sake be exalted far above works.第一，理論的寬限期和正義的信念一直所掩蓋，這是主要的一部分，福音，而且應該站在為最突出的教會，以便其優點是基督可以及眾所周知，和信仰，認為原諒的罪孽是基督的緣故是崇高遠遠高於工程。 Wherefore Paul also lays the greatest stress on this article, putting aside the Law and human traditions, in order to show that Christian righteousness is something else than such works, to wit, the faith which believes that sins are freely forgiven for Christ's sake.何故保羅還規定了最大的壓力本文撇開法律和人權的傳統，以顯示基督教義則是另一回事超過這些作品，即，在信仰的罪孽認為，自由原諒的基督的緣故。 But this doctrine of Paul has been almost wholly smothered by traditions, which have produced an opinion that, by making distinctions in meats and like services, we must merit grace and righteousness.但這一學說的保羅已幾乎完全扼殺了傳統，產生了認為，通過區分肉類和類似的服務，我們必須值得寬限期和正義。 In treating of repentance, there was no mention made of faith; only those works of satisfaction were set forth; in these the entire repentance seemed to consist.在治療的懺悔，但沒有提及的信念;只有那些感到滿意的作品闡述;在這些整個懺悔似乎組成。
Secondly, these traditions have obscured the commandments of God, because traditions were placed far above the commandments of God.其次，這些傳統都掩蓋了上帝的誡命，因為傳統被遠遠高於上帝的誡命。 Christianity was thought to consist wholly in the observance of certain holy-days, rites, fasts, and vestures. These observances had won for themselves the exalted title of being the spiritual life and the perfect life.基督教認為，包括完全遵守某些神聖的天數，禮儀，齋戒，並vestures 。這些紀念活動已經為自己贏得了崇高的標題是精神生活的完美人生。 Meanwhile the commandments of God, according to each one's calling, were without honor namely, that the father brought up his offspring, that the mother bore children, that the prince governed the commonwealth, -- these were accounted works that were worldly and imperfect, and far below those glittering observances.同時，上帝的誡命，根據每個人的要求，有沒有榮譽，即父親提出了他的後代，母親承擔的兒童，即王子聯邦管轄， -這些作品佔了世俗和不完善，並遠遠低於那些閃光的紀念活動。 And this error greatly tormented devout consciences, which grieved that they were held in an imperfect state of life, as in marriage, in the office of magistrate; or in other civil ministrations; on the other hand, they admired the monks and such like, and falsely imagined that the observances of such men were more acceptable to God.這個錯誤，並極大地折磨虔誠的良知，這悲痛，他們被關押在一個不完美的狀態的生活，在婚姻中，在辦公室裡的裁判官;或其他民間ministrations ;另一方面，他們羨慕和僧侶等一樣，和虛假想像，紀念等人更容易接受上帝。
Thirdly, traditions brought great danger to consciences; for it was impossible to keep all traditions, and yet men judged these observances to be necessary acts of worship.第三，傳統帶來了巨大的危險，良心;因為它是不可能使所有的傳統，但判斷這些男子紀念活動是必要的行為的崇拜。 Gerson writes that many fell into despair, and that some even took their own lives, because they felt that they were not able to satisfy the traditions, and they had all the while not heard any consolation of the righteousness of faith and grace.格爾森寫道，許多陷入絕望，有些人甚至結束自己的生命，因為他們認為，他們無法滿足的傳統，他們所有的，而沒有聽到任何安慰的正義的信念和寬限期。 We see that the summists and theologians gather the traditions, and seek mitigations whereby to ease consciences, and yet they do not sufficiently unfetter, but sometimes entangle, consciences even more.我們看到， summists收集和神學的傳統，並尋求減輕，即以緩解良知，但他們沒有足夠的解放，但有時糾纏，良知甚至更多。 And with the gathering of these traditions, the schools and sermons have been so much occupied that they have had no leisure to touch upon Scripture, and to seek the more profitable doctrine of faith, of the cross, of hope, of the dignity of civil affairs of consolation of sorely tried consciences.並收集這些傳統，學校和說教已經這麼多被佔領，他們沒有閒暇談一談聖經，並尋求更有利可圖的學說的信仰，跨，希望，尊嚴的民間內政安慰的嚴峻考驗良知。 Hence Gerson and some other theologians have grievously complained that by these strivings concerning traditions they were prevented from giving attention to a better kind of doctrine.因此，格爾森和其他一些神學家有嚴重抱怨說，這些奮鬥的傳統，他們被阻止並注意更好的一種理論。 Augustine also forbids that men's consciences should be burdened with such observances, and prudently advises Januarius that he must know that they are to be observed as things indifferent; for such are his words.奧古斯丁也禁止男人的良心應該背負著這樣的紀念活動，並建議Januarius謹慎，他必須知道，他們是必須遵守的事情漠不關心;等都是他的話。
Wherefore our teachers must not be looked upon as having taken up this matter rashly or from hatred of the bishops, as some falsely suspect.何故我們的教師絕不能看成採取了此事貿然或仇恨的主教，因為一些虛假嫌疑人。 There was great need to warn the churches of these errors, which had arisen from misunderstanding the traditions.人們非常需要提醒教會的這些錯誤，它產生誤解的傳統。 For the Gospel compels us to insist in the churches upon the doctrine of grace, and of the righteousness of faith; which, however, cannot be understood, if men think that they merit grace by observances of their own choice.為福音迫使我們必須堅持在教會的學說的寬限期，和正義的信念; ，但不能被理解，如果男人認為他們值得慶祝的寬限期由他們自己選擇。
Thus, therefore, they have taught that by the observance of human traditions we cannot merit grace or be justified, and hence we must not think such observances necessary acts of worship.因此，因此，他們告訴我們，在尊重人權的傳統，我們不能優點寬限期或理由，因此，我們絕不能認為這種行為紀念活動必要的禮拜。 They add hereunto testimonies of Scripture.他們的證詞新增hereunto聖經。 Christ, Matt.基督，馬特。 15, 3, defends the Apostles who had not observed the usual tradition, which, however, evidently pertains to a matter not unlawful, but indifferent, and to have a certain affinity with the purifications of the Law, and says, 9: In vain do they worship Me with the commandments of men. 15日， 3日，捍衛使徒誰沒有發現通常的傳統，但是，顯然涉及到一個問題不是非法的，但無所謂，並有一定的親和力與purifications法，並表示， 9 ：徒勞的他們崇拜我的誡命男子。 He, therefore, does not exact an unprofitable service.因此，他沒有確切的一個無利可圖的服務。 Shortly after He adds: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man.不久後，他補充說：當然，我並不是說這goeth到嘴defileth一名男子。 So also Paul, Rom.因此，還保羅，光盤。 14, 17: The kingdom of God is not meat and drink. 14日， 17日：上帝王國的不是肉類和飲料。 Col. 2, 16: Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the Sabbath-day; also: If ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances: Touch not, taste not, handle not!中校2 ， 16 ：讓任何人，因此，判斷你在肉類，或喝酒，或在一個神聖的天，或安息日天;還：如果你們死與基督的雛形的世界上，為什麼，彷彿生活在世界上，你們是受法令：觸摸不會，味道沒有，處理不！ And Peter says, Acts 15, 10: Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?和彼得說，行為的15 ， 10 ：為什麼上帝引誘你們把枷鎖後頸部的弟子，這既不我們的父親，也沒有我們能夠承受？ But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.但是，我們相信，通過寬限期的主耶穌基督，我們將保存，即使他們。 Here Peter forbids to burden the consciences with many rites, either of Moses or of others.在這裡彼得禁止負擔的良知與許多儀式，無論是摩西或他人。 And in 1 Tim.在1和蒂姆。 4,1.3 Paul calls the prohibition of meats a doctrine of devils; for it is against the Gospel to institute or to do such works that by them we may merit grace, or as though Christianity could not exist without such service of God. 4,1.3保羅呼籲禁止肉類學說的魔鬼;因為這是對福音提起或做這類作品，它們可能值得我們寬限期，或者雖然基督教不可能存在沒有這種服務的上帝。
Here our adversaries object that our teachers are opposed to discipline and mortification of the flesh, as Jovinian.在這裡我們的對手對象，我們的老師是反對的紀律和屈辱的肉體，作為Jovinian 。 But the contrary may be learned from the writings of our teachers. For they have always taught concerning the cross that it behooves Christians to bear afflictions.但是，相反可能是教訓的著作我們的老師。對於他們總是教導的關於兩岸，它有義務承擔基督徒苦難。 This is the true, earnest, and unfeigned mortification, to wit, to be exercised with divers afflictions, and to be crucified with Christ.這就是真實的，認真的，並慥屈辱，即，將行使潛水員痛苦，並且與基督釘在十字架上。
Moreover, they teach that every Christian ought to train and subdue himself with bodily restraints, or bodily exercises and labors that neither satiety nor slothfulness tempt him to sin, but not that we may merit grace or make satisfaction for sins by such exercises.此外，他們還告訴我們，每一個基督徒應該培養和征服自己的身體限制，或身體練習和勞動者的是，無論飽也不slothfulness引誘他罪過，但並不是說我們可能值得寬限期或作出滿意的罪孽的此類演習。 And such external discipline ought to be urged at all times, not only on a few and set days.這種外部的紀律應當敦促在任何時候，不僅是少數幾個和一套天。 So Christ commands, Luke 21, 34: Take heed lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting; also Matt.因此，基督命令，盧克21 ， 34 ：注意，以免你們的心是與surfeiting多;還馬特。 17, 21: This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. 17日， 21日：這種goeth沒有，但通過祈禱和禁食。 Paul also says, 1 Cor.保羅也說， 1肺心病。 9, 27: I keep under my body and bring it into subjection. Here he clearly shows that he was keeping under his body, not to merit forgiveness of sins by that discipline, but to have his body in subjection and fitted for spiritual things, and for the discharge of duty according to his calling. 9日， 27日：我繼續我的身體並使其服從。在這裡，他清楚地表明，他是按照他的身體下，不值得原諒的罪孽的紀律，但他的身體已經在服從和安裝的精神外，並為履行職責根據他的要求。 Therefore, we do not condemn fasting in itself, but the traditions which prescribe certain days and certain meats, with peril of conscience, as though such works were a necessary service.因此，我們不譴責空腹本身，但傳統處方的某些天，某些肉類，與危險的良知，彷彿這些工程是必要的服務。
Nevertheless, very many traditions are kept on our part, which conduce to good order in the Church, as the Order of Lessons in the Mass and the chief holy-days.然而，很多傳統，是保持我們的一部分，這有助於良好秩序的教會，因為命令中的經驗教訓的群眾和首席神聖的天數。 But, at the same time, men are warned that such observances do not justify before God, and that in such things it should not be made sin if they be omitted without offense.但是，在同一時間，男子警告說，這種紀念活動，沒有理由在上帝面前，在這種事情不應該作出罪孽如果他們沒有被忽略的進攻。 Such liberty in human rites was not unknown to the Fathers.這種自由人的禮儀不是未知的父親。 For in the East they kept Easter at another time than at Rome, and when, on account of this diversity, the Romans accused the Eastern Church of schism, they were admonished by others that such usages need not be alike everywhere.對於在東部他們完全可以保持在另一復活節的時間比在羅馬，以及時，考慮到這種差異，羅馬人指責東歐教會的分裂，他們告誡其他人，這樣的慣例不必都無處不在。 And Irenaeus says: Diversity concerning fasting does not destroy the harmony of faith; as also Pope Gregory intimates in Dist.和依說：多樣性空腹不破壞和諧的信念;也教皇格雷戈里親密的距離。 XII, that such diversity does not violate the unity of the Church.十二，這種多樣性並不違反教會合一的。 And in the Tripartite History, Book 9, many examples of dissimilar rites are gathered, and the following statement is made: It was not the mind of the Apostles to enact rules concerning holy-days, but to preach godliness and a holy life [, to teach faith and love].在三方的歷史，圖書9日，許多例子不同的宗教儀式聚集，並聲明如下了：這不是頭腦的使徒制定規則神聖的天數，但鼓吹信仰和神聖的生命， [教信仰和愛] 。
Gradually, many other observances were added besides vows.漸漸地，許多其他紀念活動之外又增加了誓言。 And these fetters were laid upon many before the lawful age, contrary to the Canons.這些腳鐐被解僱之前的許多合法年齡，違反規例。
Many also entered into this kind of life through ignorance, being unable to judge their own strength, though they were of sufficient age.許多人還進入這種生活的無知，無法判斷自己的力量，儘管他們足夠的年齡。 Being thus ensnared, they were compelled to remain, even though some could have been freed by the kind provision of the Canons.正因此陷入，他們被迫留，即使一些本來可以釋放的那種規定的規例。 And this was more the case in convents of women than of monks, although more consideration should have been shown the weaker sex.這是更多的情況修道院的婦女比僧侶，但更應考慮已被證明的弱者。 This rigor displeased many good men before this time, who saw that young men and maidens were thrown into convents for a living.這種嚴謹不高興許多很好的男人在這個時候，誰看到，青年男子和少女被扔進修道院的生活。 They saw what unfortunate results came of this procedure, and what scandals were created, what snares were cast upon consciences!他們看到什麼不幸的結果是這個程序，以及如何創建的醜聞，什麼圈套時投了良心！ They were grieved that the authority of the Canons in so momentous a matter was utterly set aside and despised.他們痛心的權力規在這樣重大的問題完全是擱置和鄙視。 To these evils was added such a persuasion concerning vows as, it is well known, in former times displeased even those monks who were more considerate.對這些醜惡現象增加了這樣一個信念關於誓言，因為它是眾所周知的，疇昔不高興甚至那些僧侶誰更周到。 They taught that vows were equal to Baptism; they taught that by this kind of life they merited forgiveness of sins and justification before God.他們告訴我們，誓言都是平等的，以洗禮，他們告訴我們，通過這樣的生活，他們值得原諒的罪孽和理由在上帝面前。 Yea, they added that the monastic life not only merited righteousness before God but even greater things, because it kept not only the precepts, but also the so-called "evangelical counsels."是啊，他們說，寺院的生活不僅值得上帝面前正義，但更大的事情，因為它不僅保持戒律，而且所謂的“福音律師。 ”
Thus they made men believe that the profession of monasticism was far better than Baptism, and that the monastic life was more meritorious than that of magistrates, than the life of pastors, and such like, who serve their calling in accordance with God's commands, without any man-made services.因此，他們認為，男子職業修道遠優於洗禮，該寺院的生活更有價值的是比法官，而不是生活的牧師，而這種喜歡，誰的服務要求按照上帝的命令，而不任何人為的服務。 None of these things can be denied; for they appear in their own books.所有這些事情可以被剝奪;因為它們出現在自己的書籍。 [Moreover, a person who has been thus ensnared and has entered a monastery learns little of Christ.] [此外，一個人誰一直從而陷入並已進入了一個小修道院學習基督。 ]
What, then, came to pass in the monasteries?那麼，到底是什麼來傳遞寺廟？ Aforetime they were schools of theology and other branches, profitable to the Church; and thence pastors and bishops were obtained. Aforetime他們學校的神學與其他部門的，有利可圖的教會，再牧師和主教獲得。 Now it is another thing.現在是另一回事。 It is needless to rehearse what is known to all.這是不必要的排練是眾所周知的。 Aforetime they came together to learn; now they feign that it is a kind of life instituted to merit grace and righteousness; yea, they preach that it is a state of perfection, and they put it far above all other kinds of life ordained of God. Aforetime他們走到一起學習;現在，他們假裝，它是一種生命，值得提起的寬限期和正義;酵母，他們鼓吹，這是一個完美的狀態，他們把它遠遠高於所有其它種類晉牧的生活上帝。 These things we have rehearsed without odious exaggeration, to the end that the doctrine of our teachers on this point might be better understood.這些事情，我們沒有可憎的排練毫不誇張地說，年底的學說我們的教師在這一點上可能會得到更好的理解。
First, concerning such as contract matrimony, they teach on our part that it is lawful for all men who are not fitted for single life to contract matrimony, because vows cannot annul the ordinance and commandment of God.首先，關於合同，如婚姻，他們教我們的一部分，這是合法的所有男人誰不適合單身生活，以合同的婚姻，因為誓言不能廢止本條例和上帝的誡命。 But the commandment of God is 1 Cor.但是上帝的誡命是1肺心病。 7, 2: To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife. 7 ， 2 ：為了避免私通，讓每個人有自己的妻子。 Nor is it the commandment only, but also the creation and ordinance of God, which forces those to marry who are not excepted by a singular work of God, according to the text Gen. 2, 18: It is not good that the man should be alone. Therefore they do not sin who obey this commandment and ordinance of God.它也不是唯一的戒律，而且還創造和上帝的法令，迫使那些結婚誰不是例外的一個獨特的工作的上帝，按照將軍文字2 ， 18 ：這是不是好，該名男子應被孤立。因此，他們不信誰服從這一命令和法令的上帝。
What objection can be raised to this?什麼異議可以提出來呢？ Let men extol the obligation of a vow as much as they list, yet shall they not bring to pass that the vow annuls the commandment of God.讓男人讚美的義務許願盡可能名單，但應不會帶來他們通過該取消的誓言上帝的誡命。 The Canons teach that the right of the superior is excepted in every vow; [that vows are not binding against the decision of the Pope;] much less, therefore, are these vows of force which are against the commandments of God.該教規的權利上是在每一個例外的誓言; [即發誓不具約束力的決定，教宗; ]少得多，因此，這些誓言武力這是對上帝的誡命。
Now, if the obligation of vows could not be changed for any cause whatever, the Roman Pontiffs could never have given dispensation for it is not lawful for man to annul an obligation which is simply divine.現在，如果義務的誓言不能改變任何什麼原因，羅馬Pontiffs不能給予免除因為它是不合法的男子廢止的義務僅僅是神聖的。 But the Roman Pontiffs have prudently judged that leniency is to be observed in this obligation, and therefore we read that many times they have dispensed from vows.但是，羅馬Pontiffs有謹慎判斷，寬容是必須遵守這一義務，因此，我們讀到許多倍免除他們的誓言。 The case of the King of Aragon who was called back from the monastery is well known, and there are also examples in our own times.該案件的國王阿拉貢誰被稱為從修道院是眾所周知的，也有一些在我們自己的時間。 [Now, if dispensations have been granted for the sake of securing temporal interests, it is much more proper that they be granted on account of the distress of souls.] [現在，如果特許已獲准為了保證時間的利益，這是更為恰當的，他們給予相應的不安的靈魂。 ]
In the second place, why do our adversaries exaggerate the obligation or effect of a vow when, at the same time, they have not a word to say of the nature of the vow itself, that it ought to be in a thing possible, that it ought to be free, and chosen spontaneously and deliberately?第二，為什麼我們的對手誇大義務或效果的誓言時，在同一時間，他們沒有一個字地說性質的誓言本身而言，應該在可能的事，這它應該是免費的，自發選擇和故意？ But it is not unknown to what extent perpetual chastity is in the power of man.但是，這不是未知到什麼程度是永久的貞節的力量的人。 And how few are there who have taken the vow spontaneously and deliberately!以及如何幾年有誰已經採取了誓言自發和故意！ Young maidens and men, before they are able to judge, are persuaded, and sometimes even compelled, to take the vow.年輕的姑娘和男子，才能夠判斷，是說服，有時甚至強迫，採取的誓言。 Wherefore it is not fair to insist so rigorously on the obligation, since it is granted by all that it is against the nature of a vow to take it without spontaneous and deliberate action.何故這是不公平的，堅持這樣嚴格的義務，因為這是理所當然的所有，這是對性質的誓言是否可以不自發的和蓄意的行動。
Most canonical laws rescind vows made before the age of fifteen; for before that age there does not seem sufficient judgment in a person to decide concerning a perpetual life. Another Canon, granting more to the weakness of man, adds a few years; for it forbids a vow to be made before the age of eighteen.最典型的法律誓言撤銷前作出的15歲;為年齡在此之前，似乎沒有足夠的判斷一個人來決定的關於永久的生活。另一個佳能，給予更多的弱點的人，增加了幾年;它禁止許願要在18歲以下的。 But which of these two Canons shall we follow?但是，這兩個規我們應遵循？ The most part have an excuse for leaving the monasteries, because most of them have taken the vows before they reached these ages.在大多數情況下有一個藉口，離開寺院，因為他們已經採取了誓言達成之前，這些年齡。
Finally, even though the violation of a vow might be censured, yet it seems not forthwith to follow that the marriages of such persons must be dissolved.最後，即使違反了誓言可能會指責，但它似乎沒有立即跟進的婚姻對這些人必須解散。 For Augustine denies that they ought to be dissolved (XXVII. Quaest. I, Cap. Nuptiarum), and his authority is not lightly to be esteemed, although other men afterwards thought otherwise.對於奧古斯丁否認，他們應該被解散（ XXVII. Quaest 。一章。 Nuptiarum ） ，以及他的權威是不會輕易被尊敬的，但其他男人後認為並非如此。
But although it appears that God's command concerning marriage delivers very many from their vows, yet our teachers introduce also another argument concerning vows to show that they are void.但是，儘管看來，上帝的命令提供有關婚姻非常多從他們的誓言，但我們的老師還介紹另一論點關於發誓要表明，他們是無效的。 For every service of God, ordained and chosen of men without the commandment of God to merit justification and grace, is wicked, as Christ says Matt.對於每一個服務的上帝，祝和選擇的男人沒有上帝的誡命，值得的理由和優雅，是邪惡的，因為基督說，馬特。 16, 9: In vain do they worship Me with the commandments of men. 16日， 9 ：徒勞的，他們崇拜我的誡命男子。 And Paul teaches everywhere that righteousness is not to be sought from our own observances and acts of worship, devised by men, but that it comes by faith to those who believe that they are received by God into grace for Christ's sake.保羅教導和世界各地的正義是不能要求從我們自己的慶祝活動和行為的崇拜，男性設計的，但它的信仰是對那些誰相信他們收到的上帝變成寬限期為基督的緣故。
But it is evident that monks have taught that services of man's making satisfy for sins and merit grace and justification.但顯而易見的是，僧侶已經告訴我們，服務人的決策滿足的罪孽和才幹的寬限期，並說明理由。 What else is this than to detract from the glory of Christ and to obscure and deny the righteousness of faith?還有什麼比這是背離的榮耀基督和掩蓋，否認正義的信念？ It follows, therefore, that the vows thus commonly taken have been wicked services, and, consequently, are void. For a wicked vow, taken against the commandment of God, is not valid; for (as the Canon says) no vow ought to bind men to wickedness.因此，順理成章的誓言從而普遍採取了邪惡的服務，因此，是無效的。對於邪惡的誓言，採取了對上帝的誡命，是無效的;的（如佳能說）不應該誓言綁定男子邪惡。
Paul says, Gal.保羅說，半乳糖。 5, 4: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace. 5 ， 4 ：基督是變得不影響你們，你們中誰是有道理的法律，你們都下降到寬限期。 To those, therefore, who want to be justified by their vows Christ is made of no effect, and they fall from grace. For also these who ascribe justification to vows ascribe to their own works that which properly belongs to the glory of Christ.這些，因此，誰想要是有道理的基督的誓言是不具法律效力，而且失寵。對於這些誰也賦予理由誓言賦予自己的作品，這屬於正常的榮耀基督。
Nor can it be denied, indeed, that the monks have taught that, by their vows and observances, they were justified, and merited forgiveness of sins, yea, they invented still greater absurdities, saying that they could give others a share in their works.也不能否認，事實上，僧侶告訴說，他們的誓言和紀念活動，他們是有道理的，值得原諒的罪孽，酵母，他們發明了更大的謬論，說他們可以給別人分享自己的作品。 If any one should be inclined to enlarge on these things with evil intent, how many things could he bring together whereof even the monks are now ashamed!如果任何人都不應傾向於擴大對這些東西與邪惡的意圖，有多少事情可以使他信守甚至僧人現在慚愧！ Over and above this, they persuaded men that services of man's making were a state of Christian perfection.除此之外，他們說服男子，服務人的決策是一個國家的基督教完善。 And is not this assigning justification to works?是不是這個分配的理由呢？ It is no light offense in the Church to set forth to the people a service devised by men, without the commandment of God, and to teach that such service justifies men.這是沒有根據的進攻在教會闡明人民服務設計的男人，沒有上帝的誡命，並傳授這種服務的理由男子。 For the righteousness of faith, which chiefly ought to be taught in the Church, is obscured when these wonderful angelic forms of worship, with their show of poverty, humility, and celibacy, are east before the eyes of men.對於正義的信念，這主要應該教教會，是模糊不清時，這些奇妙的天使形式的崇拜，其顯示的貧窮，謙遜，和獨身，是東部眼前的男子。
Furthermore, the precepts of God and the true service of God are obscured when men hear that only monks are in a state of perfection.此外，戒律的上帝和真正的服務上帝是掩蓋當男人聽到，只有僧侶的狀態完美。 For Christian perfection is to fear God from the heart, and yet to conceive great faith, and to trust that for Christ's sake we have a God who has been reconciled, to ask of God, and assuredly to expect His aid in all things that, according to our calling, are to be done; and meanwhile, to be diligent in outward good works, and to serve our calling.基督教完善是害怕上帝的心，並沒有想像極大的信心，並相信基督的緣故，我們有一個上帝誰已核對，請上帝，穩妥地期待他的援助，所有的事情，按照我們的要求，是要做;同時，要勤奮外向的優秀作品，並為我們的要求。 In these things consist the true perfection and the true service of God.在這些事情包括真正的完善和服務的真正的上帝。 It does not consist in celibacy, or in begging, or in vile apparel.它不包括在獨身，或乞討，或在惡劣的服裝。 But the people conceive many pernicious opinions from the false commendations of monastic life.但許多人想像的意見，有害的虛假表彰的寺院生活。 They hear celibacy praised above measure; therefore they lead their married life with offense to their consciences.他們聽到稱讚獨身上述措施，因此導致他們的婚姻生活的進攻，以他們的良知。 They hear that only beggars are perfect; therefore they keep their possessions and do business with offense to their consciences. They hear that it is an evangelical counsel not to seek revenge; therefore some in private life are not afraid to take revenge, for they hear that it is but a counsel, and not a commandment.他們聽到，只有乞丐是完美的，因此他們保持其財產和做生意的進攻，以他們的良知。他們聽到這是一個福音律師不尋求報復，因此一些私人生活中並不害怕報復，因為他們聽到它只不過是一個律師，而不是一個命令。 Others judge that the Christian cannot properly hold a civil office or be a magistrate.其他法官，基督教不能妥善舉行公證處或裁判官。
There are on record examples of men who, forsaking marriage and the administration of the Commonwealth, have hid themselves in monasteries.有記錄在案的例子男子誰，放棄婚姻和管理英聯邦，都躲在自己的寺廟。 This they called fleeing from the world, and seeking a kind of life which would be more pleasing to God.為此，他們呼籲逃離的世界，並尋求一種生活將更加令人高興的上帝。 Neither did they see that God ought to be served in those commandments which He Himself has given and not in commandments devised by men.也沒有看到，上帝應該是擔任這些誡命而他本人給予，而不是在命令制定的男子。 A good and perfect kind of life is that which has for it the commandment of God.一個良好的和完善的生活是有它的上帝的誡命。 It is necessary to admonish men of these things.這是必要的訓誡男人這些事情。
And before these times, Gerson rebukes this error of the monks concerning perfection, and testifies that in his day it was a new saying that the monastic life is a state of perfection.並在這些時候，格爾森指責這個錯誤的僧侶關於完善，並證明，在他的一天這是一個新的話說，僧侶生活是一種完美的狀態。
So many wicked opinions are inherent in the vows, namely, that they justify, that they constitute Christian perfection, that they keep the counsels and commandments, that they have works of supererogation.因此，許多邪惡的意見中所固有的誓言，即它們的理由，它們構成基督教完善，他們讓律師和誡命，他們有額外的工程。 All these things, since they are false and empty, make vows null and void.所有這些事情，因為他們是虛假的，空洞的，作出承諾無效。
But this is their opinion, that the power of the Keys, or the power of the bishops, according to the Gospel, is a power or commandment of God, to preach the Gospel, to remit and retain sins, and to administer Sacraments.但是，這是他們認為，這種權力的鑰匙，或者權力的主教，根據福音，是一個權力或上帝的誡命，宣揚福音，對職權範圍和保留的罪孽，和管理聖禮。 For with this commandment Christ sends forth His Apostles, John 20, 21 sqq.: As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.對於這一戒律基督發出了他的使徒，約翰20日， 21日sqq 。 ：正如我的父親上帝給我，即便如此，我給你。 Receive ye the Holy Ghost.收到你們的聖靈。 Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained. Whosesoever罪孽業的職權，它們是你們這些匯款;和whosesoever你們保留的罪孽，他們保留。 Mark 16, 15: Go preach the Gospel to every creature.馬克16 ， 15 ：轉到宣講福音的每一個動物。
This power is exercised only by teaching or preaching the Gospel and administering the Sacraments, according to their calling either to many or to individuals.此行使權力只能由教學或宣揚福音和管理聖禮，根據他們的要求不是很多或個人。 For thereby are granted, not bodily, but eternal things, as eternal righteousness, the Holy Ghost, eternal life.對於從而給予，而不是身體，而是永恆的東西，作為永恆的正義，在聖靈，永恆的生命。 These things cannot come but by the ministry of the Word and the Sacraments, as Paul says, Rom.這些事情不能來，而是由政府的Word和聖禮，因為保羅說，光碟。 1, 16: The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. 1 ， 16 ：福音是上帝的力量來拯救你們每個人的信。 Therefore, since the power of the Church grants eternal things, and is exercised only by the ministry of the Word, it does not interfere with civil government; no more than the art of singing interferes with civil government.因此，由於權力的教會贈款永恆的東西，只行使該部的Word ，它並不干擾文官政府;不超過歌唱藝術的干擾文官政府。 For civil government deals with other things than does the Gospel.為民間政府處理其他事情比福音。 The civil rulers defend not minds, but bodies and bodily things against manifest injuries, and restrain men with the sword and bodily punishments in order to preserve civil justice and peace.民間保衛統治者沒有思想，但機構和對身體的事情明顯傷害，抑制男子用劍和身體的懲罰，以維護公民正義與和平。
Therefore the power of the Church and the civil power must not be confounded.因此，權力的教會和民間力量絕不能混淆。 The power of the Church has its own commission to teach the Gospel and to administer the Sacraments.權力的教會有自己的委員會，以傳授福音和管理的聖禮。 Let it not break into the office of another; Let it not transfer the kingdoms of this world; let it not abrogate the laws of civil rulers; let it not abolish lawful obedience; let it not interfere with judgments concerning civil ordinances or contracts; let it not prescribe laws to civil rulers concerning the form of the Commonwealth.不要闖入辦公室的另一;不要轉讓的王國這個世界，讓這不是廢除法律的民間統治者;讓它不服從合法廢除;讓它不干擾判決關於民事法規或合同;讓它沒有規定法律統治者對民間的形式英聯邦。 As Christ says, John 18, 33: My kingdom is not of this world; also Luke 12, 14: Who made Me a judge or a divider over you?正如耶穌說，約翰18 ， 33 ：我的王國是這個世界;也盧克12日， 14日：誰使我法官或除法超過你嗎？ Paul also says, Phil. 3, 20: Our citizenship is in heaven; 2 Cor.保羅也說，菲爾。 3 ， 20 ：我們的公民身份是在天堂2肺心病。 10, 4: The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the casting down of imaginations. 10日， 4 ：武器的戰爭不是肉體，而是通過強大的上帝鑄造下跌的想像力。
After this manner our teachers discriminate between the duties of both these powers, and command that both be honored and acknowledged as gifts and blessings of God.這種方式後，我們的老師區別對待的職責，這兩項權力，命令，都將榮幸和公認的禮物和祝福的上帝。
If bishops have any power of the sword, that power they have, not as bishops, by the commission of the Gospel, but by human law having received it of kings and emperors for the civil administration of what is theirs.如果主教有任何權力的劍，這一權力他們，而不是作為主教，由該委員會的福音，但人類的法律收到了它的帝王的民事行政什麼是他們的。 This, however, is another office than the ministry of the Gospel.然而，這是另一個辦公室比部福音。
When, therefore, the question is concerning the jurisdiction of bishops, civil authority must be distinguished from ecclesiastical jurisdiction.當，因此，這個問題是關於管轄的主教，民事當局必須區別於教會管轄範圍之內。 Again, according to the Gospel or, as they say, by divine right, there belongs to the bishops as bishops, that is, to those to whom has been committed the ministry of the Word and the Sacraments, no jurisdiction except to forgive sins, to judge doctrine, to reject doctrines contrary to the Gospel, and to exclude from the communion of the Church wicked men, whose wickedness is known, and this without human force, simply by the Word.再次，根據福音，或他們認為，由神權，有屬於主教的主教，這就是那些人一直致力於部的Word和聖禮，沒有任何管轄權，除非原諒的罪孽，判斷原則，反對違背教義的福音，並排除在共融的教會邪惡的男人，其邪惡眾所周知，這與人類力量，僅僅通過的Word 。 Herein the congregations of necessity and by divine right must obey them, according to Luke 10, 16: He that heareth you heareth Me.這裡的教會的必要性和神權必須服從他們，根據路克10日， 16日：他說heareth你heareth我。 But when they teach or ordain anything against the Gospel, then the congregations have a commandment of God prohibiting obedience, Matt.但當他們傳授或注定反對任何福音，那麼，教會有一個上帝的戒律，禁止服從，馬特。 7, 15: Beware of false prophets; Gal. 7日， 15日：謹防假先知;半乳糖。 1, 8: Though an angel from heaven preach any other gospel, let him be accursed; 2 Cor. 1日， 8日：雖然一個天使從天上鼓吹任何其他福音，讓他被詛咒2肺心病。 13, 8: We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 13日， 8 ：我們可以做任何反對的真相，但真相。 Also: The power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.另外：電源的上帝上帝給我啟發，而不是破壞。 So, also, the Canonical Laws command (II. Q. VII. Cap., Sacerdotes, and Cap. Oves).所以，還法律的典型命令（白介素問：七。章。 ， Sacerdotes ，和章。 Oves ） 。 And Augustine (Contra Petiliani Epistolam): Neither must we submit to Catholic bishops if they chance to err, or hold anything contrary to the Canonical Scriptures of God.和奧古斯丁（魂斗羅Petiliani Epistolam ） ：我們都必須向天主教主教如果他們犯錯的機會，或持有任何違背聖經的典型上帝。
If they have any other power or jurisdiction, in hearing and judging certain cases, as of matrimony or of tithes, etc., they have it by human right, in which matters princes are bound, even against their will, when the ordinaries fail, to dispense justice to their subjects for the maintenance of peace.如果他們有任何其他權力或管轄範圍內，在聽力和判斷某些情況下，作為婚姻或什一稅等，他們有這種人的權利，哪些事項王子的約束，甚至違背自己的意願，當普通失敗，申張正義的議題，維護和平。
Moreover, it is disputed whether bishops or pastors have the right to introduce ceremonies in the Church, and to make laws concerning meats, holy-days and grades, that is, orders of ministers, etc. They that give this right to the bishops refer to this testimony John 16, 12.此外，它是否是有爭議的主教或牧師都有權提出儀式在教會，並作出有關法律肉類，神聖的天數和等級，也就是訂單部長等他們，使這項權利是指主教這約翰證言16 ， 12 。 13: I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 ：我還有很多事情說你們，但你們不能承受現在。 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth. Howbeit時，他的精神真相，是來，他將引導您到所有的真理。 They also refer to the example of the Apostles, who commanded to abstain from blood and from things strangled, Acts 15, 29.他們還提到的例子，使徒，誰指揮，以避免血液和來自東西勒死，行為15 ， 29 。 They refer to the Sabbath-day as having been changed into the Lord's Day, contrary to the Decalog, as it seems.他們提到安息日天已被改為上帝日，這違背了Decalog ，因為它似乎。 Neither is there any example whereof they make more than concerning the changing of the Sabbath-day.也沒有任何的例子，他們信守以上關於改變安息日天。 Great, say they, is the power of the Church, since it has dispensed with one of the Ten Commandments!大表示，他們是權力的教堂，因為它省去了一個十誡！
But concerning this question it is taught on our part (as has been shown above) that bishops have no power to decree anything against the Gospel.但是，關於這個問題這是對我們的教導部分（如已如上所示）的主教們沒有權力對任何法令福音。 The Canonical Laws teach the same thing (Dist. IX) .典型的法律教授同樣的事情（ Dist.九） 。 Now, it is against Scripture to establish or require the observance of any traditions, to the end that by such observance we may make satisfaction for sins, or merit grace and righteousness.現在，它是對聖經建立或要求遵守任何傳統，以期通過這種遵守我們可以滿意的罪孽，或擇優寬限期和正義。 For the glory of Christ's merit suffers injury when, by such observances, we undertake to merit justification.為榮耀基督的優點受到損傷時，這種紀念活動，我們承諾值得的理由。 But it is manifest that, by such belief, traditions have almost infinitely multiplied in the Church, the doctrine concerning faith and the righteousness of faith being meanwhile suppressed.但它體現的是，這種信仰，傳統，幾乎無限乘以在教會，有關的理論信仰和正義的信念正在同時壓制。 For gradually more holy-days were made, fasts appointed, new ceremonies and services in honor of saints instituted, because the authors of such things thought that by these works they were meriting grace.逐步更加神聖的天發了言，齋戒任命，新的儀式和服務，以紀念聖人制定的，因為作者的這種事情認為，這些作品他們是值得的寬限期。 Thus in times past the Penitential Canons increased, whereof we still see some traces in the satisfactions.因此，在過去時代的悔罪規增加，信守我們仍然看到一些痕跡的滿足感。
Again, the authors of traditions do contrary to the command of God when they find matters of sin in foods, in days, and like things, and burden the Church with bondage of the law, as if there ought to be among Christians, in order to merit justification a service like the Levitical, the arrangement of which God had committed to the Apostles and bishops.同樣，作者的傳統做違背上帝的命令時，他們發現罪惡的問題在食品，天，想事情，教會的負擔與奴役的法律，如果有應該是基督教徒之間，為了值得服務的理由像利未的安排，上帝已承諾向使徒和主教。 For thus some of them write; and the Pontiffs in some measure seem to be misled by the example of the law of Moses.因此，對於一些人寫;和Pontiffs在一定程度上似乎有誤導的例子摩西律法。 Hence are such burdens, as that they make it mortal sin, even without offense to others, to do manual labor on holy-days, a mortal sin to omit the Canonical Hours, that certain foods defile the conscience that fastings are works which appease God that sin in a reserved case cannot be forgiven but by the authority of him who reserved it; whereas the Canons themselves speak only of the reserving of the ecclesiastical penalty, and not of the reserving of the guilt.因此，這樣的負擔，因為他們讓彌天大罪，即使沒有進攻給他人，做手工勞動的神聖天，一個彌天大罪省略典型時間，某些食物弄髒的良知fastings的作品安撫上帝這罪孽在保留案件不能得到寬恕，而是由權威的他誰保留它，而自己的規只講保留的教會刑罰，而不是保留的罪責。
Whence have the bishops the right to lay these traditions upon the Church for the ensnaring of consciences, when Peter, Acts 15, 10, forbids to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, and Paul says, 2 Cor.何處有主教的權利，在於這些傳統的教會為ensnaring的良知，當彼得，行為15 ， 10 ，禁止把枷鎖後頸部的弟子，和保羅說， 2肺心病。 13, 10, that the power given him was to edification not to destruction? 13日， 10日，這賦予的權力是教化不破壞？ Why, therefore, do they increase sins by these traditions?為什麼，因此，他們所增加的罪孽這些傳統？
But there are clear testimonies which prohibit the making of such traditions, as though they merited grace or were necessary to salvation.但也有明確的證詞，禁止製作這種傳統，但他們值得寬限期或有必要救贖。 Paul says, Col. 2, 16-23: Let no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath-days.保羅說，中校2 ， 16-23 ：讓任何人判斷你的肉，或喝酒，或在一個神聖的天，或新的月球，或安息日天。 If ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances (touch not; taste not; handle not, which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men!如果你們死與基督的雛形的世界，為什麼，彷彿生活在世界上，你們是受條例（觸摸沒有;味道沒有;處理不，這一切是滅亡的使用）後，誡命和理論的男子！ which things have indeed a show of wisdom.這事情確實表現出的智慧。 Also in Titus 1, 14 he openly forbids traditions: Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men that turn from the truth.另外，在泰特斯1 ，第14 ，他公開禁止傳統：不給猶太人重視寓言和誡命的男子，讓事實。
And Christ, Matt.和基督，馬特。 15, 14. 15 ， 14 。 13, says of those who require traditions: Let them alone; they be blind leaders of the blind; and He rejects such services: Every plant which My heavenly Father hath not planted shall be plucked up. 13日說，這些誰需要傳統：讓他們獨立，他們是盲目的領導人盲目;和他拒絕這類服務：每個工廠，我的天父上帝沒有種植應摘了。
If bishops have the right to burden churches with infinite traditions, and to ensnare consciences, why does Scripture so often prohibit to make, and to listen to, traditions?如果主教有權負擔無限教會的傳統，並ensnare的良知，為什麼聖經常常禁止製造，並聽取，傳統？ Why does it call them "doctrines of devils"?它為什麼稱之為“理論的魔鬼” ？ 1 Tim.一添。 4, 1. 4 ， 1 。 Did the Holy Ghost in vain forewarn of these things?難道聖靈徒勞的預先這些東西？
Since, therefore, ordinances instituted as things necessary, or with an opinion of meriting grace, are contrary to the Gospel, it follows that it is not lawful for any bishop to institute or exact such services.自因此，作為條例制定必要的事情，或者有意見的，值得的寬限期，違反了福音，因此，它是不合法的任何主教研究所或確切這種服務。 For it is necessary that the doctrine of Christian liberty be preserved in the churches, namely, that the bondage of the Law is not necessary to justification, as it is written in the Epistle to the Galatians, 5, 1: Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.對於有必要的理論，基督教的自由得到維護教會，即奴役的法律是沒有必要的理由，因為它是寫在書的加拉太， 5 ， 1 ：不要糾纏再次與枷鎖的束縛。 It is necessary that the chief article of the Gospel be preserved, to wit, that we obtain grace freely by faith in Christ, and not for certain observances or acts of worship devised by men.這是必要的長條福音的予以保留，即，我們獲得自由的恩典在基督的信仰，而不是為某些慶祝活動或行為的禮拜設計的男子。
What, then, are we to think of the Sunday and like rites in the house of God?那麼，什麼是我們想的週日，儀式在上帝的房子？ To this we answer that it is lawful for bishops or pastors to make ordinances that things be done orderly in the Church, not that thereby we should merit grace or make satisfaction for sins, or that consciences be bound to judge them necessary services, and to think that it is a sin to break them without offense to others.為了這一點，我們的答案，這是合法的主教或牧師，使條例的事情要做有序的教會，而不是因此我們應該值得寬限期或作出滿意的罪孽，或良心的約束來判斷他們必要的服務，並認為這是一個罪孽打破他們的進攻給他人。 So Paul ordains, 1 Cor.因此，保羅ordains ， 1肺心病。 11, 5, that women should cover their heads in the congregation, 1 Cor. 11日， 5日，婦女應當支付其負責人在集會， 1肺心病。 14, 30, that interpreters be heard in order in the church, etc. 14日， 30日，口譯員聽到命令教堂等
It is proper that the churches should keep such ordinances for the sake of love and tranquillity, so far that one do not offend another, that all things be done in the churches in order, and without confusion, 1 Cor.這是適當的教堂應保持這種條例是為了愛與安寧，迄今有沒有得罪另一個，所有的事情要做教會秩序，沒有混亂， 1肺心病。 14, 40; comp. 14 ， 40 ;補償。 Phil.菲爾。 2, 14; but so that consciences be not burdened to think that they are necessary to salvation, or to judge that they sin when they break them without offense to others; as no one will say that a woman sins who goes out in public with her head uncovered provided only that no offense be given. 2 ，第14條; ，但這樣的良心負擔不認為他們是必要的救助，或法官，他們罪惡當他們打破他們的進攻沒有給他人;因為沒有人會說，一個女人的罪孽誰出門的市民她的頭只提供發現，沒有給予進攻。
Of this kind is the observance of the Lord's Day, Easter, Pentecost, and like holy-days and rites.這種是遵守上帝的日，復活節，聖靈降臨節，像神聖的天數和儀式。 For those who judge that by the authority of the Church the observance of the Lord's Day instead of the Sabbath-day was ordained as a thing necessary, do greatly err.對於那些誰法官，由權威的教會紀念主日不是安息日日被任命為必要的事情，這樣做極大地犯錯。 Scripture has abrogated the Sabbath-day; for it teaches that, since the Gospel has been revealed, all the ceremonies of Moses can be omitted.聖經已廢除安息日天;因為它教導我們，因為福音已經發現，所有的儀式摩西可以省略。 And yet, because it was necessary to appoint a certain day, that the people might know when they ought to come together, it appears that the Church designated the Lord's Day for this purpose; and this day seems to have been chosen all the more for this additional reason, that men might have an example of Christian liberty, and might know that the keeping neither of the Sabbath nor of any other day is necessary.然而，因為它是必要任命一名某一天，該人可能知道什麼時候他們應該走到一起，似乎教會指定的上帝日為此，這一天似乎已被選為所有更多的這一額外的理由，該男子可能有一個例子，基督教自由，並有可能知道，既保持了安息日，也沒有其他任何一天是必要的。
There are monstrous disputations concerning the changing of the law, the ceremonies of the new law, the changing of the Sabbath-day, which all have sprung from the false belief that there must needs be in the Church a service like to the Levitical, and that Christ had given commission to the Apostles and bishops to devise new ceremonies as necessary to salvation.有滔天disputations變化有關的法律，儀式的新法律，不斷變化的安息日天，這一切如雨後春筍般湧現的錯誤信念，必須需要在教會服務要在利未，並基督已委員會使徒和主教制訂新的儀式所必需的救贖。 These errors crept into the Church when the righteousness of faith was not taught clearly enough.這些錯誤悄悄進入教會時，正義的信念沒有明確告訴不夠。 Some dispute that the keeping of the Lord's Day is not indeed of divine right, but in a manner so.有些糾紛，保持主日不確實的神聖權利，但在這樣的方式。 They prescribe concerning holy-days, how far it is lawful to work.他們明關於神聖天，在多大程度上是合法的工作。 What else are such disputations than snares of consciences?還有什麼是比這樣disputations圈套的良知？ For although they endeavor to modify the traditions, yet the mitigation can never be perceived as long as the opinion remains that they are necessary, which must needs remain where the righteousness of faith and Christian liberty are not known.儘管他們的努力改變傳統的，但絕不能緩解被看作是長期的意見，他們仍然是必要的，它必須留在需要的正義的信仰和自由的人不知道。
The Apostles commanded Acts 15, 20 to abstain from blood.使徒指揮行為的15年， 20年來棄權的血液。 Who does now observe it?現在誰不遵守它？ And yet they that do it not sin not; for not even the Apostles themselves wanted to burden consciences with such bondage; but they forbade it for a time, to avoid offense.但他們認為這樣做不是沒有罪過，因為即使是使徒自己要負擔的良知與這些束縛，但他們禁止它在一段時間內，以避免進攻。 For in this decree we must perpetually consider what the aim of the Gospel is.在這項法令，我們必須永遠考慮什麼的目的是福音。
Scarcely any Canons are kept with exactness, and from day to day many go out of use even among those who are the most zealous advocates of traditions.幾乎沒有任何規保持與精確性，並每天多走出去使用甚至在那些誰是最熱心的倡導者傳統。 Neither can due regard be paid to consciences unless this mitigation be observed, that we know that the Canons are kept without holding them to be necessary, and that no harm is done consciences, even though traditions go out of use.也不能顧及支付的良知，除非這減輕觀察，我們知道，規存放而不舉行他們是必要的，並且沒有傷害做良心，即使傳統的走出去使用。
But the bishops might easily retain the lawful obedience of the people if they would not insist upon the observance of such traditions as cannot be kept with a good conscience.但是，主教可能很容易地保留合法服從的人，如果他們不會堅持要求遵守這種傳統不能保持良好的良知。 Now they command celibacy; they admit none unless they swear that they will not teach the pure doctrine of the Gospel.現在，他們命令獨身;他們承認沒有，除非他們發誓，他們將不會教的純理論的福音。 The churches do not ask that the bishops should restore concord at the expense of their honor; which, nevertheless, it would be proper for good pastors to do.教會不要求主教應恢復和諧而犧牲他們的榮譽;其中，然而，這將是恰當的好牧師的事情。 They ask only that they would release unjust burdens which are new and have been received contrary to the custom of the Church Catholic.他們只要求他們將釋放不公正的負擔這是新的和已收到相反的習俗，天主教教會。 It may be that in the beginning there were plausible reasons for some of these ordinances; and yet they are not adapted to later times. It is also evident that some were adopted through erroneous conceptions.這也許是因為在開始時有合理的理由，其中的一些條例; ，但他們都沒有適應以後倍。同樣明顯的是，一些人通過錯誤的觀念。 Therefore it would be befitting the clemency of the Pontiffs to mitigate them now, because such a modification does not shake the unity of the Church.因此，將適合寬大的Pontiffs ，以減輕他們現在是這樣，因為這樣的修改沒有動搖教會合一的。 For many human traditions have been changed in process of time, as the Canons themselves show.對於許多人的傳統已被更改過程中的時間，作為自己的顯示卡農。 But if it be impossible to obtain a mitigation of such observances as cannot be kept without sin, we are bound to follow the apostolic rule, Acts 5, 29, which commands us to obey God rather than men.但是，如果它不可能獲得減輕此類紀念活動作為不能保持無罪孽，我們必然要遵循使徒的規則，行為5日， 29日，該命令我們服從上帝而不是男人。
Peter, 1 Pet.彼得， 1個寵物。 5, 3, forbids bishops to be lords, and to rule over the churches. 5 ， 3 ，禁止主教是領主，並統治教會。 It is not our design now to wrest the government from the bishops, but this one thing is asked, namely, that they allow the Gospel to be purely taught, and that they relax some few observances which cannot be kept without sin.這不是我們現在的設計，好景不長，從政府的主教，但有一件事是問，即允許福音是純粹的教導，而且他們很少放寬一些紀念活動，不能保持無罪孽。 But if they make no concession, it is for them to see how they shall give account to God for furnishing, by their obstinacy, a cause for schism.但是，如果他們不讓步，這是他們看到他們如何應給予的帳戶，以上帝的家具，他們的固執，引起了分裂。
The above articles we desire to present in accordance with the edict of Your Imperial Majesty, in order to exhibit our Confession and let men see a summary of the doctrine of our teachers.上述條款我們希望本按照法令你的帝國陛下，以展示我們的信條，讓男人看到一個簡要的理論，我們的老師。 If there is anything that any one might desire in this Confession, we are ready, God willing, to present ampler information according to the Scriptures.如果有什麼，任何一個可能的願望在這個自白，我們準備好了，願上帝，以本ampler信息按照聖經。
