Eighth Volume of the „Lutheraner.“

Lord's Supper, the doctrine concerning it is no small matter, about which one ought not to begin a quarrel; it is not small what the Lord Christ speaks, commands, ordains, institutes, bequeaths, confirms, enjoins, and upholds. (from Nicol. Selenecer's writings) 199, 1. — Lord's Supper, set to song by P. Fick. 144, 1.

Absolution, the Lutheran doctrine of it rejected, reviled and blasphemed by the Methodists; especially also by the apostate Mulfinger, and indeed by virtue of „his thorough spirit of investigation.“ 87, 1. Absolution is essentially nothing other than the Gospel or the sermon on the forgiveness of sins; therefore the absolution which is proclaimed by the servants of the church is not a human word, but the true word of God. 87, 3. Example of apostolic absolution after the Lutheran manner, 88, 1. — therefore the Lutheran doctrine of absolution agrees with the Holy Scripture. 88, 1.

Office of the Keys, whence does it come? essentially and originally from the triune God. 57, 3. Christ has given the office and power of the keys to His congregation; — the power of the public proclamation of the Gospel, together with the attached administration of the holy Sacraments, or the church's ministry, the pastoral office, has been placed by Christ in the congregation of believers. 58, 2. — it is not merely an object of the administration of this power. 58, 2.

Antichrist, a sign of him is the killing of heretics, according to the saying of holy Jerome. 89, 1. — sits in the temple of God; therefore also under the Papacy children of God and the true church are hidden.

Anthusa, mother of Chrysostom, wrought a blessed work for the church through the Christian upbringing of her son. 197, 1.

Astronomy, true astronomy is not in contradiction with the Bible; this is testified by the greatest astronomers, as for example Kepler. 35, 1.

Atheists, are either hypocrites, or open blasphemers and scoffers at all religion and virtue; they declare „virtue to be a phantom of the brain,“ — „there is no thinking of a God,“ — „the philosopher fears nothing but the hangman,“ — „of whom he must by all means beware.“ 158. 159.

Bacon, Francis, born 1560., a distinguished philosopher and naturalist, acknowledges the limits of natural science and the revealed religion; — as also Kepler, Boyle and Newton; he warns against the deception of false philosophy, which imagines that by the contemplation of nature it can fathom the divine mysteries and know God's being and working. 35, 1. 2.
