Theological Theses · §376 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Created compositions: extended parts; subject and accident

Creatures show many composition kinds.

Sensible: body parts outside parts, divisible.

Next: subject and accident — whiteness; virtue, vice, knowledge in a man.

Latin

VI. Porro in rebus creatis multa animadvertuntur compositionis genera. Prima eaque omnium maxime sensibilis est, quae cernitur in omni corpore, quod constat partibus extensis, quarum una est extra aliam: adeoque quarum una ab alia dividi & separari potest. Secunda compositio, quae hic consideranda est, est subjecti & accidentis, sicut album constat albedine & corpore illo quod sustinet albedinem. Et sicut in homine, praeter naturam humanam, varia sunt accidentia, veluti virtus & vitium, scientia & ignorantia, unde varie homo denominatur, vel doctus, vel indoctus, vel vitiosus, vel virtute praeditus.

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)
