[10] That seems to be what is meant.

[11] Early Protestantism lived too much in the thought of
justification to mark out the boundaries of creed with this
scholastic precision.

[12] _Loci communes_ (1610-1622), on Interpretation of Sacred
Scripture, ix. 149.

[13] Three writers mentioned in Wetzer's and Welte's
_Kirchenlexikon_.

[14] Also quoted as having appeared 1745, but that is an error; he
quotes F. A. Blau, _On the Rule of Faith_ (Mainz, 1780). See further
the sketch of Chrismann in _Allgemeine deutsche Biographie_,
supplement.

[15] G. Perrone, e.g. _De immaculato B. V. Mariae conceptu; an
dogmatico decreto definiri possit?_ (1847).

[16] These divisions and subdivisions are not numbered in the
Decrees, as for clearness they have been numbered above.

[17] Three zones apparently (1) the church's formal decrees, (2) the
church's general teaching, (3) points of revelation which the church
may not yet have overtaken. _Per contra_, much that was only
"implicit" in the deposit of faith has become "explicit" in dogma.
(The reader must note that "implicit" is used here in a different
sense from that referred to earlier in this article. Here, church
dogma has explicated what was implicit in revelation. There, the
unlearned accept by _implication_, i.e. by a general acceptance of
church belief and teaching, dogmas they perhaps have never heard of.
Both usages are current in Roman Catholic theology.)

[18] Or the view of D. Schenkel, that dogma is what is enforced by
civil and criminal law.

[19] Cf. also preface to 2nd ed. pp. ix., x.

[20] Cf. pp. 279, 280; the undogmatic words of religious emotion are
"thrown out," not at "a cloud mistaken for a mountain," but at a
"majestic" and "veritable mountain range."

[21] See art. "Dogmengeschichte" in Herzog-Hauck's _Realencykl. fur
prot. Theol._ Cf. also Prof. Loofs's _Leitfaden zum Studium der
Dogmengeschichte_.

[22] It should be noted that Loofs does not speak merely as a
historian. He places himself in a sense within the dogmatic circle by
his declaration that guidance is to be expected from developments--in
a "free Protestant evangelical spirit"--out of the old confessions of
the Protestant churches. This belief may be called what Loofs has
called Harnack's definition of dogma--_individuell berechtigt_, and
