Note 26 — Chapter XXXI · LATIN HYMNOLOGY AND PROTESTANTISM.

A Critical History of the Doctrine of Justification and Reconciliation. By Albrecht Ritschl, Professor Ordinarius of Theology in the University of Göttingen. Edinburgh, 1872. Professor Ritschl sustains his view of the devotional Protestantism of the Roman Catholic Church by a passage from the Missal, in which God is invoked as non aestimator meriti, sed veniae largitor, and by the remarkable exhortation to the dying prescribed for the use of her priests. He also quotes six passages from the mediaeval hymns edited by George Cassander.
