A64611	The summe of Christian religion, delivered by Zacharias Ursinus first, by way of catechism, and then afterwards more enlarged by a sound and judicious exposition, and application of the same : wherein also are debated and resolved the questions of whatsoever points of moment have been, or are controversed in divinitie / first Englished by D. 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.	Ursinus, Zacharias, 1534-1583.; Parry, Henry, 1561-1616.; Pareus, David, 1548-1622. Theologicall miscellanies.; A. R.	1645 (1645)	Wing U142; ESTC R5982	1,344,322	1,128

indeed_o probable_o gather_v that_o a_o delivery_n may_v be_v compass_v if_o by_o any_o mean_v this_o god_n justice_n and_o truth_n may_v be_v satisfy_v but_o he_o can_v neither_o hope_v for_o it_o

in_o consequent_a it_o be_v that_o if_o no_o creature_n can_v invent_v it_o then_o neither_o can_v god_n devise_v it_o it_o behove_v he_o therefore_o to_o depend_v and_o rely_v on_o god_n profound_a

the_o justice_n of_o god_n absolve_v not_o neither_o dismiss_v unpunished_a those_o that_o deserve_v everlasting_a damnation_n except_o there_o be_v interpose_v a_o full_a and_o perfect_a

here_o again_o adam_n perceive_v that_o the_o minor_n be_v only_o true_a if_o no_o punishment_n at_o all_o be_v inflict_v either_o on_o the_o sinner_n himself_o or_o on_o some_o other_o who_o offer_v

whence_o we_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o come_v out_o all_o delivery_n thence_o be_v impossible_a but_o to_o shake_v off_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o come_v out_o of_o they_o we_o have_v no_o ability_n therefore_o this_o escape_n be_v impossible_a ans_fw-fr here_o also_o he_o describe_v the_o falsehood_n of_o the_o major_n that_o the_o escape_n be_v indeed_o impossible_a unless_o god_n know_v the_o

far_o more_o clear_o see_v and_o perceive_v the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o these_o solution_n than_o heretofore_o adam_n can_v whereas_o we_o out_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o by_o the_o event_n
