More exciting than the Olympics: Here are 60+ more Reformed scholastic, AI translated treatises, in English for the first time (for most of them). A few previously done, by Rutherford and Bavinck, have been added in for thoroughness.
Several are from Chaz Navarro at Reformed Sources; more than a dozen are from Roman Prestarri at Confessionally Reformed Theology. Most of them have been done by the brothers at Colloquia Scholastica on Discord. Join them and increase the work.
Try to get some sleep the next few weeks.

“Praise the Lord!
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!…
Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can declare all His praise?
Blessed are those who keep justice,
and he who does righteousness at all times!”
Ps. 106:1-2

Trigland, Sr., Jacob – ‘Answers to Three Questions, Serving as Advice in Current Ecclesiastical Difficulties’ (1615)
The “Concept of Moderation,” printed at the beginning of the document, was a proposed measure for peace to allow Arminian ministers before the Synod of Dort (1618) to be able to remain ministering in the Dutch Church. The three questions are:
1. Can the following concept of Moderation be accepted with a good conscience, and can peace in the Churches be restored through it? [No]
2. Whether the High Authority of this Land might not draft another Concept of Moderation, according to which the Doctrine of these Churches, being adjusted, could restore peace in the same? [This is unnecessary and would be unjust]
3. What counsel then is given to get out of these difficulties, and to obtain the old unity? [Abide by the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism]
