Theological Institutes, Harmonized from the Best Authors  (Leiden, 1658)  Outline

This book is a systematic presentation of Reformed Orthodoxy composed 100% of direct quotes from ‘the best authors’, that is, Zwingli, Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, Vermigli, Zanchi, Musculus, Sohn, Junius, Piscator, Aretius, Bucanus, Trelcatius, Polanus, Paraeus, Gomarus, Walaeus, Alting, Ames, Maccovius, Spanheim, Voetius, Maresius, and Wendelin.

.              worship  150
.      3. Natural theology pertains more to philosophy  153

2. On the Perspicuity & Interpreter of Scripture  157
.      1. From one part objective perscipuity is lifted up; from another,
.              a universal subjectivity is erected  157

3. On Clear & Distinct Perception, that it is the sole norm of every truth  165

9. On the Will of God, that it is the Cause of All Truth & Goodness  246

11. On the Power of God, as it is able to make contradictory things  257
12. On the Power of God, as it is able to Falter, if it Wills  270

16. On the Distribution of the Divine Attributes, that it makes badly on those communicable and incommunicable  304
17. On the Most Sacred Existence of the Trinity, that Philosophical Arguments are able to Demonstrate it  310
18. On the Nature of the Trinity  325
.      1. In another manner it is rejected  325
.      2. That communicability of an essence does not arise from
.             infinity  326
.      3. That persons are not distinguished from essence, whether
.             really or modally, or from reason reasoning  328
.      4. That [divine] persons are not distinguished modally between
.             themselves  330
.      5. That if we are not able to solve the contradictions objected by
.             the Socinians, being ignorant, we ought to be brotherly  335

19. On Creation in General  340
.     1. They allow false hypotheses

.           343
.     3. The primordial chaos was able to produce all materials out
.           of itself alone  347
.     4. Between nothing and something there is not an infinite
.           distance  350
.     5. Not all was created on account of man  355

20. On the Soul of the World, it being infinite and a unity  361
.     1. Subtle matter is the soul of the world  361

21. On the System of the World, the Heaven & the Earth  384

.          and humans  384
.     2. The moon is not properly a luminary  390
.     3. The earth is amongst the planets  390
.     4. The sun remains still and the earth moves  392
.     5. That the sun stands in the middle of the universe is invoked
.          395

22. On the Existence & Essence of Angels
.    1. About their existence  396
.         1. That the existence of angels is not able to be demonstrated
.              by natural reasons: incidentally only is it noted  396
.         2. Angels were able to exist before the world  397
.     2. About the essence of angels, that it consists in knowledge  401
23. On the Place & Motion of Angels  403
.      1. About place: 3 hypotheses correspond
.            1. The substantial presence of angels is not able to be
.                defined in space  403
.            2. Angels are in space solely on account of their external
.                operation  405
.            3. The operations of angels are distinguished into immenent
.                and transient  406
.      2. About motion: that of an angel is not competent except
.            improperly  408

24. On the Multipresence & Operations of the Angels  409
.      1. An angel, insofar as it is in a place, it is able to be in diverse
.            places simultaneously  409
.      2. Angels’ stupendous works are carried out through knowledge
.            alone  416

25. On the Body & Soul of Man  419
.     1. The body of man, that it consists in extension alone  420
.     2. The soul:
.             1. That the soul is not the form of a man  421
.             2. That the rational soul consists solely in thinking  423
.             3. That the separated soul is complete; what it is  432

26. On the Souls & Life of Man  436
.       1. There are two souls in any man [animal & rational]  437
.       2. The life of the body does not depend from the rational soul
.             442
.       3. Being absent from the rational soul, the human body is able
.             to live  445
.       4. Being brought through death, the soul is a person  446

27. On the Intellect & Will of Man  447
.       1. About the Intellect: that to judge, affirm, etc. is of the will  447
.       2. About the Will, that the mode of it is infinite  451

28. On the Affections & Pineal Gland of Man; the Affections arise from the pineal gland, and the conflict on the affections, that the gland is able to impel, and this is the case for the soul, and from that place also for the spirits of animals  457
29. On the Senses of Man & the Image of God  463
.      1. On the senses, that in philosophical things they always and
.         in many things falter, and therefore they do not trust in
.         philosophizing, nor hence is the use of the senses to be
.         except in things of the body or of human composition  463
.      2. The image of God:
.          1. “in the image of God” they view to be ideas of God
.              in man  475
.          2. Original Righteousness is impeded by these things set
.              down and those motions of animal spirits: such affections do
.              not arise in the pineal gland  476

30. On Brutish Animals, on the Life, Sense & Perception in Fleshly Creatures  477
31. On the Providence of God  484
.       1. The providence of God is confounded with his omnipresence
.              484
.       2. That the action of God which conserves all things is the same
.              as that by which He at one time created  484

32. On Origianl Sin  490
.       1. That it is propagated through the soul & the body  491
.       2. The body receives inordinate motions from the parents
.       3. These infect the soul
.       4. Concupiscence arises from the pineal gland
.       5. The explanation of original sin is to be sought from the interior
.             and innermost depths of Cartesian Philosophy
.       The judgment of the orthodox is opposed and laid out:
.            A. On the one hand, propogation is not through the soul  493
.            B. On the other hand, nor is it either through the body  494

33. On Free Choice  501
.       1. The intellect does not err, nor is it able to err  501
.       2. The judgment of the will is at no time able to err if it only
.             assents with clear and distinct perception  503
.       3. It is posited in the liberty of the will not to assent except you
.             have perceived clearly and distinctly, and therefore do not
.             err  506
.       4. Errors are not in the nature or choice, but in the operation of

Vitringa, Sr., Campegius

The Doctrine of the Christian Religion, Summarily Described through Aphorisms, vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8  (d. 1722)  ToC or the analysis is after the prolegomena of vol. 1, at the end, but otherwise at the beginning of the rest of the volumes.  The first volume appears cut off.  This volume (Harderovic: Moojen, 1760) contains all the aphorisms without the footnotes added by Martin Vitringa.

Vitringa, Sr. (1659-1722) was a professor in Franeker and a Hebraist.  “…Vitringa…  maintained a fairly centrist Reformed position…  Vitringa and De Moor serve as codifiers and bibliographers of the earlier tradition, the former from a federalist, the latter from a nonfederalist perspective.”

De Moor (1709-1780) has a number of disputations available at PRDL.  As portions of De Moor’s systematic are translated into English, excerpts are being put up at the blog.  Here is a review of the first volume by Dr. Ryan McGraw.

De Moor “maintained the fundamental line of confessional orthodoxy without drawing heavily on any of the newer philosophies…  [and he] maintained a fairly centrist Reformed position… Vitringa and De Moor served as codifiers and bibliographers of the earlier tradition, the former from a federalist, the latter from a nonfederalist perspective.  Indeed, De Moor’s efforts did for later Reformed orthodoxy what the massive system of Quenstedt did for Lutheranism in the concluding years of the seventeenth century: the work was so exhaustive and so complete in detail and bibliography that it virtually ended the development of Reformed doctrine in the form of orthodox system.” – Richard Muller
