Theological Theses · §1418 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Further question: one act adorning image and exemplar together? Peresius and Catharinus deny

Next quarrel: can one act adore image and exemplar together as one mental object?

Peresius de Ayala and Ambrosius Catharinus say no—image-adoration is always a distinct act from exemplar-adoration.

Latin

XLIX. Praeterea quaeritur inter Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae An uno & eodem adorationis actu imago & exemplar simul adorari possint & debeant, nempe dum consideratur exemplar tanquam imagine vestitum, imago vero ut exemplar continens, & ipso velut animata; ita ut in adorantis mente imago & exemplar unum quid constituant. Hunc Imagines adorandi modum quidam ex Doctoribus Scholae Romanae non agnoscunt, & imaginis adorationem existimant semper actum esse diversum ab eo quo ipsum exemplar adoratur. Quae est opinio Martini Peresii de Ayala libro de Traditionibus ubi de cultu imaginum agit, & Ambrosii Catharini opusculo singulari de adoratione imaginum, ut testantur Vasquez & Suarez disputationibus saepius jam citatis.

About this text

Louis Le Blanc, a Reformed professor at Sedan, sets out theology in theses argued against Rome: Scripture, faith, grace, free choice, good works and the saints.

This volume holds the Theses on Theology I–XLIII and On Faith I–XXII, in eighteen sections.

Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu (1614–1675) was minister and professor of theology at the Academy of Sedan, the Reformed school on France's eastern border. His Theses were disputed by students over many years and collected in a London folio (1675).

The Theological Theses range across the whole Reformed system — Scripture, God, predestination, grace, and justifying faith — in the crisp thesis-and-proof form of the seventeenth-century schools.

Date1675 AD (Sedan theses; London collection)
