The church is called this because it seeks the things above, and because in it are the right watchmen and the watchful in spirit. 4, 270. Now Zion is the whole earth; for everywhere where one believes in God, the God above all gods is seen on Zion. 4, 1176 f. Zion was the place where God wanted to be called in the old covenant; therefore this place is called strength, kingdom, glory, honor, beauty or adornment, also rest of the Lord. 4, 2002.

Zwingli wrongly referred to Luther's interpretation of the first book of Moses in order to prove the blessedness of the Gentiles, as such. 2, 1829. Zwingli and Bußer bring a new doctrine among the people, because they would like to be above us. 4, 1500 Zwingli said publicly at Marburg with great arrogance that he had abolished the red hats that the Swiss had used for a time as men of war. 5, 123 f. Zwingli and Carlstadt were people who followed their own thoughts; after they had left the word, they had to invent something else. 5, 132.

Zwingli first moved his audience with the thunderclap that it was idolatry to
Zwinglians. The Zwinglians, as impudent people, use the reputation of Luther for the doctrine that the Gentiles can also be saved without the Word. 2, 1831. From the Zwinglians and all Sacramentarians, which
deny that Christ's body and blood are received with the bodily mouth, we hold that they are heretics. 19, 1811.
Zwinglian. The Zwinglians boast about how they are equipped with money and people, what they have for followers of foreign nations; item, how they want to distribute the bishoprics. 17, 1966 The Landgrave Philip of Hesse defends the Zwinglians against Melanchthon and Brenz. 17, 1967 ff.

Luther's concerns about the unification sought by the Zwinglians in the doctrine of the Lord's Supper were given to Melanchthon for the action in Cassel. 17, 2048.
