_The Orthodox Confession, of the Catholic and Apostolic Greek
Church_, published in 1642, by Mogilow, the Metropolitan of Kiow.
IV. The symbolic books of the LUTHERAN CHURCHES, are
1. _The Confession of Augsburgh_;
2. _The Apology of the Confession of Augsburgh_;
3. _The Articles of Smalcald_;
4. _And_, (in the opinion of some Lutheran Churches),--_The Form of
Concord_;
5. _The Saxon, Wirtenburgian, Suabian, Pomeranian, Mansfeldian,
Antwerpensian, and Copenhagen Confessions_, possess, in particular
places, the authority of Symbolic books:--the two first are
particularly respected.
V. The symbolic books of the REFORMED CHURCHES. The reformed Church, in
the largest extent of that expression, comprises all the religious
communities, which have separated from the Church of Rome. In this
sense, it is often used by English writers: but, having, soon after the
Reformation, been used by the French Protestants to describe their
church, which was Calvinistic, it became, insensibly, the appellation of
all Calvinistic churches on the Continent.
