Ongoing rule requires individual knowledge
Not one-shot creation — perpetual governance.
Each directed wisely to its end.
Requires individual knowledge, not only in common.
Latin XII. Neque Deus res semel condidit & produxit, sed illas perpetuo regit & moderatur, & sapientissime ad finem suum unamquamque dirigit. Non potest autem id praestare, quin res, non solum in communi, sed sigillatim probe ipsi notae atque perspectae sint.

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.
