Vita clarissimi viri D. Iosiae Simleri Tigurini, S. Theologiae in Schola Tigurina Professoris fidelissimi

to the confutation of Jacob Andreae, published for the defense of the Brentian testament. Also an orthodox and brief exposition concerning the true presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to his human nature on earth. Also a response to two disputations of Andreas Musculus, Professor of Theology at the Academy of Frankfurt on the Oder and General Superintendent of the churches of the March, concerning the true, real, and substantial presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the altar, in which the propositions of the former disputation are refuted in order by opposite contrary propositions, while the main heads of the latter are merely examined. Finally, at the end of his narrative concerning the life of Bullinger, he briefly wiped away the calumnies of Jacob Andreae, with which he had sprinkled the ministers of the Zurich church and the Reverend Henry Bullinger in a recently published final response to their apology. These are the things he wrote against those Ubiquitarians original: "Vbiquarios"—those who flutter and wander everywhere, stirring up great disturbances in many churches and academies—for whom it is a matter of religion not to accept the trope original: "tropum" (most common in the sacraments of the Old and New Testaments, most consistent with the nature of the sacraments, articles of faith, Sacred Scripture, and the interpretation of Christ himself in John chapter 6, and approved by the authority of the ancient fathers) in those sacrosanct words of Christ: "This is my body, which is given for you," and "This is my blood," etc. But for them it is not a matter of religion to interpret Heaven, Hell, and the ascension of Christ into heaven (which they do not blush to call, in their public writings, a disappearance and evaporation) and other such places of Holy Scripture literally, προσώπως personally/literally, and thus, as much as in them lies, to ἀνατρέπειν overturn, that is, to destroy the foundations of our faith and the doctrines and decrees of the ancient fathers and councils concerning the one person and two natures of Christ. Finally, it is not a matter of religion for them to mix and confuse Christ’s divinity with his humanity, and heaven not only (as is commonly said) with earth, but also with hell itself. To shatter and refute the figments and monstrosities of such opinions seemed to our Simler, who was well-versed and exercised in the writings of the fathers, to be mere sport and play. To this can also be referred his response concerning Christ the Mediator, published against the abusive pamphlet of Francesco Stancaro, which today also seems to be especially worthy of reading, since I hear that it is being disputed and debated among those Ubiquitarians whether Christ is to be adored according to his humanity as well, or only according to his divinity. Furthermore, he translated certain useful writings from the German language into Latin, such as the 6 books of Bullinger against the errors of the Anabaptists. Also the instruction of those who are examined regarding the faith by inquisitors,
