 The Synod of Antwerp of September 1580 ordered a copy of the revised text of Junius to be made for its archives, to be signed by every new minister; this manuscript has always been regarded in the Belgic churches as the authentic document.The first Latin translation was made from Junius's text by Theodore Beza, or under his direction, for the "Harmonia Confessionum" (Geneva, 1581), and passed into the first edition of the "Corpus et Syntagma Confessionum" (Geneva, 1612).A second Latin translation was prepared by Festus Hommius for the Synod of Dort, 1618, revised and approved 1619; and from it was made the English translation in use in the Reformed (Dutch) Church in America.
