lanchthon, and Jones to confer with the elector, but on Oct. 7 Luther was directed to prepare the articles at once, and by Oct. 10 they were in the elector's hands.

The Articles are seventeen in number and, while closely following the Marburg Articles, lay special stress on the points wherein uniformity was neces sary in order to secure political union. They like wise lay sharp stress on Luther's distinctive Eucha risticdoctrines, and expressly assail the teachings of Zwingli. On Oct. 16, 1529, at the concluding of the alliance, they were laid before the conference held at Schwabach, and there rejected by the Upper Germans. Besides being employed in drawing up the Augsburg Confession, the SchwabachArticles were used by the elector in May, 1530, to prove his orthodoxy to the emperor, a wretched Latin trans lation being sent to Innsbruck. The original draft of the articles is lost, and they first appeared in print at Coburg about 1530 under the misleading title of Die bekenntnus Martini Luthera auff dart jtzigen angestelten Reichstag 2u Augspurk evnzulegen, In siebentzehen Artikel verfasaet. Shortly afterward Luther himself published the Articles with a preface of his own. (T. KOLDE.)

From 1804 until his death he was professor of theology at Heidelberg, his special fields being pedagogics and systematic theology. His theological point of view was one of Biblical and practical supernaturalism, combined with a unionistic tendency. Besides issuing works on pedagogy, in which field be is perhaps better known than as a theologian, he edited for several years the Theologiache Annalen (1824 eqq.), Die Kirche (1818-17), and also the pedagogical Frei.· mtZtige Jahrbucher. His independent theological writings were Sciagraphia dogmaticea Christiana in usum Prtelectiortum (Heidelberg, 1808; revised under the title of Grettwlrias der kirchlichen groteatantischen Dogmatik, 1816); Daa Chtistentum in seiner Wahrheit and GBttdichkeit bettYtchtet, otter die Lehre den Evangeliums ava Urkunden dargestellt (1808); and Xandbuch der evangeliach-christdichen Ethik fur Theologen and gebildete Christen (1821; revised in 1830 as Die Sittettlehre den eroangelisehen Christentums ale Wiasenschaft).

Schwarz was s zealous advocate of the union of the Lutheran and Reformed Churches in Baden, and after the union toiled with his colleague Daub to this end, also in preventing loose latitudinarianism and in giving proper validity to the creeds of both denominations. (C. B. HvxDEasso>CNt·)
