XVI. Idem autem secum hac in parte sensisse non paucos, ex Scholasticis, tam veteribus, quam recentioribus, ostendit Alphonsus Mendoza, jam dicta quaestione, Sectione quarta. Ubi pro se citat Jacobum Naclantum Episcopum Clugiensem, Albertum Pighium, Petrum Galatinum, Ambrosium Catharinum, & quem caeteris omnibus praefert, Joannem Scotum, cujus citat multa verba, ex quibus patet, juxta Doctorem illum subtilem, Deum electos praedestinasse, & bona gratiae ipsis voluisse, priusquam vellet hunc mundum sensibilem, quem Deus ab aeterno voluit in ordine ad hominem praedestinatum, propter quem totam naturam visibilem creare constituit.

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)
