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. The principal symbolic books of these churches,--are, 1. _The Confession of the Helvetian Churches_; 2. _The Tetrapolitan Confession_,--signed by the four cities of Strasburgh, Constance, Memmingen, and Lindau; 3. _The Catechism of Heidelbergh_; 4. _The Gallic Confession of Faith_; 5. _The Belgic Confession of Faith_; 6. _The Canons of the Council of Dort_. VI. The symbolic books of the WALDENSES,--are, _Their original and reformed Creeds_. VII. The symbolic books of the _Bohemians_,--are, 1. _The Confession of faith of the Calixtines and Taborites_, signed at the Synod of Cuttenburgh in 1541; 2. _The Confession of the faith of the Bohemians_,--inserted in the "Harmony of Confessions," published at Cambridge in 1680. 3. _The Consent of faith at Sendomer_. VIII. The symbolic book of the ARMINIANS,--is _The Declaration of the Remonstrants_, drawn up by Episcopius, and signed in 1622. IX. The symbolic book of the SOCINIANS is _The Catechism of Racow_;--the best edition of it was published in 1609, reprinted at Frankfort, in 1739. An English translation of it has been published by Mr. Rees. X. The UNITARIANS have no symbolic book. To Doctor Lardner's _Letter on the Logos_ they shew universal respect. XI. The symbolic books of THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,--are, 1. _The Theological Oaths_,--containing a Declaration of the belief of the Monarch's spiritual supremacy;--and Declarations against Transubstantiation,--the invocation of Saints,--and the sacrifice of the Mass; 2. _The Thirty-nine Articles_. XII. The symbolic book of the ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH PRESBYTERIANS,--is "_The Articles of Religion_ approved and passed by both Houses of Parliament after advice had with an assembly of divines, called together for that purpose." These were sent into Scotland, and immediately sanctioned by the General Assembly, and Parliament of that kingdom; and thus became a law of the Church and State. XIII. The symbolic books of the Anabaptists may be said to be,-- THEIR SEVERAL CONFESSIONS OF FAITH:--Five were published at Amsterdam, in 1675, in one volume 8vo. XIV. The symbolic books of the Quakers,--are, 1. _Barclay's Catechism and Confession of Faith_, published in 1675; 2. His _Theses Theologicæ_;
