Theological Theses · §568 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Effects — glory-only sense assigns only communication of glory

Effect-lists track the chosen word-sense.

Glory-only sense → only communication of glory as effect.

Occam & Biel refuse to count grace-gifts as effects.

Latin

VII. Ut autem praedestinatio in Schola Romana a variis varie accipitur & definitur, sic non omnes eodem modo effectus illius assignant. Qui enim praedestinationis nomine intelligunt solum illud decretum, quo Deus ab aeterno certis hominibus gloriam coelestem praeparavit, non alium assignant ejus effectum quam gloriae istius communicationem: neque volunt dona gratiae inter praedestinationis effectus numerari. Qua in sententia sunt Gulielmus Occam, & Gabriel Biel, referente Greg. de Valentia. Tom. 1. quaest. cit.

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)
