The presented material is devoted to the analysis of the order of the Service of 1629 and its comparison with the modern Eucharistic worship of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria. The uniqueness of the Service Book of 1629 is caused by its fundamental significance for liturgical ministry of the Church of Ingria. It has influenced the practice of liturgical worship for many years to come. The presented Service Book has never been translated into Russian before, and thus, for the first time, readers have the opportunity to know more about traditions associated with liturgical vestments, the order of the Eucharist and other issues of practical liturgics.

One the major trends in the literature of the early Lutheran Orthodoxy is the problem of correlation of spiritual and secular powers. The topic was quite actual within the background of developing of confessional societies in Germany in the second half of the 16th century. Constructing new structures Lutheran Church required theoretical understanding of relations between the clergy’ and the princes’ power. The Duchy of Württemberg is a particularly vivid example, because many representatives of the Württemberg parsonage successfully made career in other Protestant lands. Polycarp Leiser the Elder, who played a major role in the establishment of the Lutheran Church in the Electorate of Saxony, was a typical representative of the early orthodoxy. The article carefully studies his sermons preached mainly in commemoration of the court’s noubles, and a summary of the preacher’s ideas is made. In his sermons Leiser constantly emphasized the idea of autonomous co-existence of the spiritual and secular powers that was qrounded on the unity of secular and spiritual elite. His political views typical for the Orthodoxes influenced on the Lutheran theology of the pietism era.
