Where can I find the name and the whole document of Beza's and Farel's Eucharistic Confession which was presented at the Colloquy of Worms in 1557 on behalf of the French Reformed Churches??

I have found the text in Latin with a German introduction. It is titled "Confessio fidei doctrinaeque de Coena Domini exhibita illustrissimo Principi Virtembergensi, authoribus Th. Beza et Guilhelmo Farello" (dated May 14, 1557).

It is available in Johann Wilhelm Baum's Theodor Beza, nach handschriftlichen Quellen, I.405-409, which may be read online here:

You may look for an English translation at some point in the series of Reformed confessions noted below (possibly).

The Reformed Confessions of the 16th and 17th Centuries in English Translation

Andrew, Thanks, I knew if anybody knew it it would be you to find it..

I have a english translation of it in "Given For You" but I am not sure if it is the complete confession or part on page 76 and 77... It does not say the name of the confession and I was unsure what the true name was because it sort of linked it with Beza's Goppingen Writings in the same section and in the section under Beza.. So I was unsure if it was the same confession as the Goppingen or have a different title...

By the way, my Latin is not that good.. Do you or anybody else know what the Latin Title translates out as into English? And would you know if the quote in Given for you of the Confession is the complete confession or not?

Jehovah Bless,

Michael

Sorry to delay in responding. I can't give you a translation, but in comparing the two texts it appears to me that the translated text in Mathison is not the complete text as it appears in Baum but rather a select extract.

The title is:

A Confession of Faith and of Doctrine Concerning the Lord's Supper Exhibited to the Most Illustrious Prince of Wurttemberg by the authors Theodore Beza and William Farel.

Thanks, Dr. Clark.

BTW, I found the translated extract from the text that Mathison cites from John Williamson Nevin, The Mystical Presence: A Vindication of the Reformed Or Calvinistic Doctrine of the Holy Eucharist, pp. 75-76:

Gentleman,

Thank you both very much... That was very helpful... If by chance anybody ever gets a fully translated copy into English of the entire confession that would be wonderful and appreciated to receive...
