BE20.简要分析：天主教和更正教在这四个方面是保持一致的，除了天主教将信与義联合，更正教将信与義分离之外，找不出什么重要的区别；这些信息几乎不为任何人所知，到如此不为人知的程度，就连学者们都对如此主张深感诧异。导致如此无知的原因在于天主教极少接近我们的救主上帝，取代他的，却是作为救主上帝之代理人的教皇，还有众圣徒。因此，他们已深埋并遗忘了他们的关于基督之功的归算以及因信称义的教条。然而，这些教条是被他们所接受和承认的，可明显从前文（n.3-8）引用的《特兰托会议信纲》以及教皇庇护四世的确认（n.2）明显看出。如果将这些内容与前文（n.9-12）从《奥斯堡信纲》与《协和信条》提出的相同内容作比较，将会发现它们之间的区别更多在于文字表达上的不同，而本质上没什么分别。教会的教父们通过阅读和比较前文各节内容，着实可以从中看出相一致的地方，只是仍有些模糊不清。为了让他们，还为那些学问稍浅者，还为了平信徒，可以看出它们的一致性，需要补充说明。
20. BRIEF ANALYSIS
That there is such a conformity between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants regarding these four articles so that there is scarcely any important difference between them, except that the former conjoin faith and charity while the latter separate them, is scarcely known to anyone indeed, it is so generally unknown that the learned themselves will be astonished at this assertion. The reason for this ignorance is that the Roman Catholics rarely approach God our Saviour; instead of Him they look to the Pope as His vicar, and to the saints. Hence they have deeply buried in oblivion their tenets concerning the imputation of Christ's merit and justification by faith. Nevertheless, such tenets are received and acknowledged by them, as clearly appears from the Decrees of the Council of Trent quoted above, nos. 3-8, and confirmed by Pope Pius IV, n. 2. If these be compared with the tenets advanced above from the Augsburg Confession and from the Formula Concordiae derived therefrom, nos. 9-12, the differences between them will be found to consist more in words than in substance. The Doctors of the Church may indeed see some conformity between them by reading and comparing the above passages together, but still only obscurely. However, in order that they, as well as those who are less learned, and also the laity, may see this agreement, some illustrations will now be added.

That there is such a conformity between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants in these four articles, so that there is scarcely any important difference, except that the former conjoin faith and charity, while the latter divide between them, is scarcely known to anyone, and indeed is so unknown, that the learned themselves will wonder at the assertion. The reason of this ignorance is, because the Roman Catholics rarely approach God our Saviour, but instead of Him, the Pope as His vicar, and likewise the saints; hence they have deeply buried in oblivion their dogmas concerning the imputation of the merit of Christ, and justification by faith. Nevertheless that these dogmas are received and acknowledged by them, evidently appears from the decrees of the Council of Trent, quoted above (n. 3-8) and confirmed by Pope Pius IV. (n. 2). If these be compared with the dogmas extracted from the Augsburg Confession, and from the Formula Concordiae thence derived (n. 9-12), the difference between them will be found to be more verbal than real. The doctors of the church, by reading and comparing the above passages together, may indeed see some conformity between them, but still rather obscurely; that these, therefore, as well as those who are less learned, and also the laity, may see this, the subject shall be more clearly illustrated in what follows.
20. BREVIS ANALYSIS.
Quod talis Conformitas in quatuor illis Articulis cum Romano-Catholicis sit Protestantibus, ut vix alicujus momenti differentia intersit, praeter quod illi fidem et charitatem conjunxerint, hi illas distinxerint, vix alicui notum est, imo ita ignotum, ut ipsi Docti hoc dictum miraturi sint: causa hujus ignorantiae est, quia Romano-Catholici raro adeunt Deum Salvatorem nostrum, sed loco ejus Papam ut vicarium, et quoque Sanctos, inde alte sopiverunt dogmata sua de Imputatione Meriti Christi, et de Justificatione per fidem; quod tamen sint inter dogmata illorum recepta et agnita, patet manifeste ex Synodi Tridentinae Decretis, supra n. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. adductis, et a Papa Pio IV(to) confirmatis, n. 2. quae si conferuntur cum dogmatibus ex Augustana Confessione, et ex Formula concordiae inde, n. 9, 10, 11, 12. allatis, videri potest, quod discrimina, quae intercedunt, plus verbalia sint, quam realia. Doctores Ecclesiae ex illis lectis et collatis possunt quidem conformia videre, sed usque non plenis oculis, ut autem hi, et quoque minus Docti, ut et Laici, hoc videant, adjicientur aliqua illustrantia in sequentibus.
