Geary rightly spells "gothic" -- lower-case 'g', and aspirated 't' (th) --.
However, by the OED standards, he wrongly spells 'Luteran'. I've just checked
and I wonder whether he meant "Lutheranic" -- since it concerns the
'interpretation of the words' (see quote). -- Cheers,

Where..the palmary Lutheranic dogma is implied. Ibid. 139 note, Perhaps this
is the Lutheranic interpretation of the words.
