. Arminianism, (5) of Cartesianism 1
. 7 Cautions are premitted, and by them of Cartesianism 10
2. Of Cartesian Doubt 13
3. Cartesian Philosophy: Not the Handmaid of Theology 34
4. On the Equal Certainty of Philosophy with Theology: that is, Philosophy and Theology are equally certain, revealed and divine 50
5. The Scriptures in Natural Things Speak According to Vulgar Errors 62
6. Philosophical Things are the Interpreters of the Phrases of Scripture in Physical Things 74

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

. life of the creatures 242
9. On the Will of God, that it is the Cause of All Truth & Goodness 246
10. On the Intellect of God, that possible knowledge [scientia] is prerequisite to the decree of a possibility, and therefore the Knowledge [Scientia] of Vision is around [circa] possibilities 253
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

. 1. In another manner it is rejected 325
. 2. That communicability of an essence does not arise from

. 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
. 2. The world is of an indefinite quantity and is capable of
. being infinite 362
. 3. There are not able to be many worlds 379
21. On the System of the World, the Heaven & the Earth 384
. 1. It is probable that in the moon there are mountains, forests
. 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
. the will and the abuse of the liberty of choice 506
. 5. The will easily embraces the good if it is demonstrated by
. judgment 508
. 6. Judgment is always able to be well pronounced, and goods
. represented to the will, if in that way it wills 511
. 7. The decree of God leaves free human actions indeterminate
. 511
. 8. Solely a natural necessity and that of coercion is opposed to
. liberty 512
34. On the Person of Christ 513
. 1. A person is nothing except a rational nature, it being conjoined
. with nothing else 514
. 2. A subsistence in the abstract is not a positive thing
. 3. Personality consists not in incommunicabiliity, but in
. non-communication 520
. 4. Negation or non-conjunction is taken away through another
. 522
. 5. This non-conjunction having been taken up, the thing
. dissolves its personality 523
. 6. From the union of the natures in Christ, another person is
. born 524
. 7. A personal sustenation is nothing but a figment 525
. 8. The divine nature is not able to be present (adesse) and
. united to the human, except through an external operation
. 527
35. On the Grace of Conversion 533
. 1. The assistance of common and proper grace differ only by
. reason 533
. The fourfold difference between common and special
. grace 534
. 2. Grace precedes free choice not temporally, but by nature
. only 535
. 3. The grace in conversion is not irresistible 541
36. On Faith & the Divine Law 545
. 1. About faith:
. 1. Faith is not understanding
. 2. Nor does it pertain to the intellect
. 3. Nor is it anything except hunger, etc.
. 4. It does not consist except in charity
. 5. Nor does it exist except in thinking
. 6. It justifies as it is an instrumental work
. 2. About the law:
. 1. That every moral good depends, in every way, upon the free
. will of God 553
. 2. The contradictory judgment of Wittich is set forth 553
37. On the Last Things: on Death, the Resurrection, Heaven & Hell 555
. 1. Death refers not to that separation of the soul from the body
. 2. The Resurrection, it is not necessary for the reunion of the
. body with the rational soul
. 3. Heaven, the souls of the faithful do not immediately and
. properly migrate there
. 4. Hell, nor even do the souls of the reprobate migrate there
.

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.”
“Admirable text-book, full of quotations.” – Howard Malcom

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
