Henry Parry, and now again conferred with the best and last Latine edition of D. David Pareus, sometimes Professour of Divinity in Heidelberge ; whereunto is added a large and full alphabeticall table of such matters as are therein contained ; together with all the Scriptures that are occasionally handled, by way either of controversie, exposition, or reconciliation, neither of which was done before, but now is performed for the readers delight and benefit ; to this work of Ursinus are now at last annexed the Theologicall miscellanies of D. David Pareus in which the orthodoxall tenets are briefly and solidly confirmed, and the contrary errours of the Papists, Ubiquitaries, Antitrinitaries, Eutychians, Socinians, and Arminians fully refuted ; and now translated into English out of the originall Latine copie by A.R.

controversy_n to_o wit_n 1._o whether_o christ_n passive_a justice_n alone_o or_o his_o active_a also_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n 2._o i_o will_v in_o few_o word_n unfold_v what_o i_o think_v of_o other_o man_n opinion_n and_o of_o the_o best_a way_n to_o procure_v concord_n in_o this_o case_n 3._o whether_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o handle_v this_o argument_n positive_o and_o refutative_o in_o popular_a sermon_n 4._o i_o will_v brief_o give_v my_o opinion_n if_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o leave_v out_o or_o to_o put_v out_o any_o passage_n in_o the_o palatinate_n catechism_n and_o directory_n as_o for_o the_o first_o head_n that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n may_v be_v better_o understand_v we_o must_v know_v in_o what_o these_o disputer_n agree_v or_o disagree_v they_o all_o agree_v 1._o that_o to_o justify_v in_o that_o sense_n it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n signify_v to_o absolve_v from_o guilt_n and_o to_o repute_v one_o just_a 2._o that_o we_o sinner_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n not_o legal_o but_o evangelical_o that_o be_v not_o by_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n not_o by_o our_o own_o but_o by_o another_o justice_n 3._o that_o this_o justice_n of_o another_o be_v not_o infuse_v but_o impute_v by_o god_n to_o the_o faithful_a and_o that_o free_o 4._o that_o the_o application_n of_o impute_a justice_n be_v do_v by_o faith_n only_o and_o that_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o that_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o justice_n of_o another_o impute_v and_o by_o faith_n apply_v 5._o that_o this_o external_a justice_n be_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n alone_o and_o his_o satisfaction_n for_o we_o or_o christ_n righteousness_n impute_v to_o we_o but_o they_o disagree_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o merit_n or_o of_o christ_n justice_n first_o as_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n equivocal_o signify_v sometime_o that_o by_o which_o god_n himself_o be_v just_a sometime_o that_o by_o which_o he_o justifi_v we_o so_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n equivocal_o be_v call_v that_o by_o which_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n be_v just_a as_o also_o that_o which_o he_o have_v merit_v for_o we_o and_o which_o by_o faith_n he_o bestow_v on_o we_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o equivocation_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o controversy_n again_o when_o in_o christ_n as_o god_n and_o man_n there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a justice_n affirm_v by_o some_o 1._o his_o divine_a or_o essential_a 2._o his_o humane_a or_o formal_a or_o original_n 3._o
