In an earlier post (Zwingli and the Eucharist) I flagged that I would post concerning my conclusion that Bullinger had a significant influence on Zwingli which resulted in Zwingli’s linking the Eucharist with the covenant commencing in 1525.
Bullinger first met Zwingli and Jud in 1523. This is recorded in his Diarium:
“Hoc eodem anno primo vidi d. Huld. Zuinglium et Leonem Iudae, et primum eorum usus sum familiaritate. Placebant eorum libri et conciones hoc impensius, quo ardentior iam in 4. anno dogmatis eram sectator” (Diarium, p8).
Bullinger’s input to Zwingli concerning the Eucharist was made on 12 September 1523:
“12. Septembris primo aperuit mihi mentem suam Zuinglius, quid sentiret de sacramento corporis et sanguinis Domini. Nam bona fide illi exponebam sententiam meam, quam hauseram ex scripto quodam fratrum Vualdens. | et Augustinus libris. Interim prohibebat, ne cui id mysterii explicarem; nondum enim satis tempestivum esse, ut proferatur; velle se iusto tempore proferre” (Diarium, p9).
