1600’s

Francis Burman

Synopsis of Theology  (Utrecht: Noenardus, 1671), vol. 1, bk. 1, ch. 2, section 47, p. 12  trans. T. Fentiman

“In this scholastic theology is to be praised:

1. the simple and concise kind of language;
2. the accurate and dialectical method;
3. the use or support of philosophy and natural disciplines.

They are to be blamed, however, out of themselves, even the defenders of it, by:

1. the obnoxious doctrine of the papacy unto tyranny; and hence it is false in many ways;
2. the multitude of philosophical things;
3. the curiosity of vain inquiries [or topics];
4. the confusion itself of things, arising out of an ignorance of languages;
5. obscurity and barbarities.”
