Abstract

Article 5 of the Magna Charta of our Church bears the superscription "Of the Office of the Ministry." Specifically treated in Article XIV, it is here spoken of only in an incidental way, viz., as the office which is charged with administering the means of grace. Melanchthon wants to teach how faith is obtained, and that is through the operation of the Holy Spirit.
