The Churches which separated themselves at the Reformation from the Roman Catholic Church are composed of those who call themselves Evangelicals and Reformed, likewise Protestants or, from their leaders, Lutherans and Calvinists. Among these the Church of England holds a middle place. We shall say nothing here concerning the Greek Church which was separated long ago from the Roman Catholic Church. That the Protestant Churches dissent in various points, particularly concerning the Holy Supper, Baptism, Election, and the Person of Christ, is well known to many people, but it is not generally known that they all agree on the Articles concerning a Trinity of Persons in the Godhead, Original Sin, the Imputation of Christ's Merit, and Justification by Faith Alone. This is because few people apply themselves to exploring the differences of the tenets maintained by the different Churches consequently, neither do they inquire into those points on which they agree. Only the clergy study the tenets of their Church; the laity rarely understand them interiorly, and so are unacquainted with their differences. Nevertheless, they agree on the four Articles above-mentioned, both as regards the general affirmation and as regards most of the particulars therein. This appears evident from their books, if they are consulted, and from their sermons, if they are heard. This, however, is premised for information on account of what follows.
