Latin II. Aeternum etiam quandoque dicitur id quod aliquando quidem finem habiturum est, sed tamen propter diuturnitatem, aeternitatem imitari videtur: sic quamvis caelum & terra olim transire debeant, tamen Ecclesiastae 1. dicitur terra in aeternum stare: & eodem sensu Deuteron. cap. 33. mentio fit a Mose, collium aeternorum, & eo quoque referri potest, quod decimo septimo capite Geneseos Deus pollicetur Abrahae se daturum illi & semini ejus, omnem terram Canaan in possessionem aeternam.

About this text Le Blanc wrote in the mid-seventeenth century as Reformed professor at the Academy of Sedan. This is not a patristic work.
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.
Date 1675 AD (Sedan theses; London collection)
No modern English.
