A96805	The abridgment of Christian divinitie so exactly and methodically compiled, that it leads us, as it were, by the hand to the reading of the Holy Scriptures. Ordering of common-places. Vnderstanding of controversies. Cleering of some cases of conscience. By John Wollebius. Doctor of Divinity, and ordinary professor in the University of Basil. Now at last faithfully translated into English, and in some obscure places cleared and enlarged, by Alexander Ross. To which is adjoined, after the alphabetical table, the anatomy of the whole body of divinity, delineated in IX. short tables, for the help of weak memories.; Christianae theologiae compendium. English.	Wolleb, Johannes, 1586-1629.; Vaughan, Robert, engraver.; Ross, Alexander, 1591-1654.	1650 (1650)	Wing W3254; Thomason E1264_1; ESTC R204089	204,921	375

the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n we_o must_v consider_v both_o the_o offering_n of_o it_o and_o the_o confirm_v or_o seal_v of_o it_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v that_o

that_o they_o may_v be_v compel_v to_o seek_v christ_n by_o that_o rigorous_a exaction_n of_o obedience_n as_o be_v be_v by_o a_o schoolmaster_n but_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o promise_n of_o

3.13_o no_o man_n have_v ascend_v to_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o descend_v to_o wit_n the_o son_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n act._n 20.28_o god_n have_v purchase_v the_o church_n with_o

here_o we_o must_v distinguish_v the_o concrete_a word_n from_o the_o abstract_n for_o those_o belong_v to_o the_o person_n but_o these_o to_o either_o nature_n therefore_o i_o may_v true_o say_v
