The Tranſlatour to the READER.

Good READER,

THe Authour of this Treatiſe was D. David Parie, a man eminent in knowledge, both in Divinity and Philoſophy. The place where hee profeſſed, is Heidelberge, an ancient and famous Univerſitie, of about 300. yeares ſtanding, founded in the yeare of Chriſt 1346. by Rupert, the ſecond Duke of Bavaria, and Count Palatine; in which Munster, the famous Hebrician, did, above an hundred yeares ago, profeſſe the Hebrew tongue; in which Rodolphus Agricola, a man eminent in all kind of literature, and many other learned Doctors, both before and ſince the Reformation, have flouriſhed. The ſubject of theſe Miſcellanies is a ſolid confirmation of our orthodox Tenets, and a refutation of Popery, Ubiquitariſme, Socinianiſme, Arminianiſme, and other heterodoxall opinions. The manner hee uſeth both in confirming and confuting, is ſuccinct, learned, and ſolid; wherein he ſhewes himſelfe a good School-man, and no meane Philoſopher. The benefit which by this Work might redound to the good of ſuch in theſe Kingdomes, who have not the Latine tongue, gave an edge to the undertaking of this Tranſlation; out of which, if thou receive any ſatisfaction in theſe points, I ſhall not think my labour loſt, nor my time ill ſpent. The God of peace put an end to the diſtractions of his afflicted Church, and make us all of one mind, and of one heart, that there may be but one ſheep-fold under that great Shepherd, who laid down his life for his ſheep, the Lord Jeſus. Amen.

Philip, the ſon of David Parie, to the Chriſtian READER wiſheth all happineſſe.

TO this new Edition of the bodie of Divinitie, profeſſed by the Reformed Churches, I intended to ſubjoyn ſome omitted catechetical paſſages out of my fathers Lectures, as hee left them in his ſcribled notes; but now (being ſtraitned by time) I thought good to reſerve them till another Edition of his Theologicall works. In the mean while, upon good advice, I reſolved to ſet forth ſome new catecheticall Miſcellanies; the rather, becauſe I am perſwaded they will not be a little beneficiall to thee, and to the whole Church of God: For, whereas theſe particular Miſcellanies, which, by the leave of that venerable ancient Doctor Parie, were by the Printers adjoyn'd to the former Editions (who ſo often have reprinted, and, as it were, from hand to hand delivered this Syſtem of orthodox Divinitie) doe not properly handle the points controverted between the reformed Divines and heterodoxall: and moſt of them may be ſeen in the Theologicall works of that great Divine, Zacharias Urſinus; the preſent afflicted condition of the Church pulled mee by the eare, aſſuring mee, that I ſhould not fruſtrate the expectation of the godly, if I did ſupply the former Miſcellanies with an addition of grave and holy Meditations; eſpecially, of thoſe heads of Religion, which theſe many yeares have (on all ſides) miſerably vexed the Reformed Churches: and which, by my reverend father, D. David Parie (an earneſt wiſher of the Churches peace and tranquillitie) have been examined with that dexteritie of judgement, that nothing in this kind can be expected more exact and divine. Wherefore, Chriſtian Reader, I doubt not, but this our endeavour will be acceptable to thee: We beſeech God, the Father of our Lord Jeſus Chriſt, that he will ſend labourers into his Vineyard in theſe back-ſliding times; and, that at laſt hee would commiſerate his little Flock, groaning under the croſſe for ſalvation and deliverance, whoſe Name be bleſſed for ever, Amen.
