Philip Melanchthon (6)
It does not make such a difference whether you are simply mute or employ no art for speaking. For it is not feasible that you can express what you think as it should be understood unless you acquire and strengthen the ability to speak by art.
Faith is nothing else than trust in the divine mercy promised in Christ.
But faith is not belief in the history of Christ, as the godless think, but belief in the purpose of Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. For he took on flesh, was crucified, and rose from the dead in order to justify all who would believe in him.Philip Melanchthon, Commonplaces: Loci Communes 1521
We must seek the truth, love it, defend it, and hand it down uncorrupted to our posterity.Philip Melanchthon, Commonplaces: Loci Communes 1521
The third reason for retaining the Decalogue is that obedience is required.Scholia in Epistolam Puali ad Colossense, 93v
