ANTOSIANDRIANS, a sect of rigid Lutherans, who oppose the doctrine of Osiander relating to justification. These are otherwise denominated Osiandromasliges.—The Antosian-drians deny that man is made just, with that justice wherewith God himself is just; that is, they assert, that he is not made essentially, but only imputatively, just; or, that he is not really made just, but only pronounced so.
