Theological Theses · §587 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Creatable-object party — creation and fall-permission as effects

Object-view drives effect-list.

Creatable-object party: creation + fall-permission are means/effects of praedestinatio.

To life in some, to death/ruin in others — Beza, Perkins, Bucanus, Polanus.

Latin

XXVI. Ut autem varii varie sentiunt de Praedestinationis & Electionis Objecto, sic quoque de effectis praedestinationis atque electionis illos diversa sentire necesse est. Nam qui censent objectum praedestinationis esse hominem non conditum & lapsum, sed simpliciter hominem creabilem, & a Deo producibilem, inter media quibus Deus finem in praedestinatione intentum assequitur, ponunt creationem & lapsus permissionem. Adeoque creatio & lapsus permissio sunt ipsis effectus praedestinationis, in his quidem ad vitam, in aliis vero ad mortem & interitum. Prout videre licet apud Bezam, Perkinsum, Bucanum, Polanum, & alios ejusdem sententiae.

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)
