I like the one quote from Melancthon:

"Augustine is not in agreement with the doctrine of Paul, though he comes nearer to it than do the Schoolmen. I quote Augustine as in entire agreement, although he does not sufficiently explain the righteousness of faith; this I do because of public opinion concerning him."

so much for the claims of being an "Augustinian" tradition...
