Bishop of Ugento, Richard Cumberland, Dr. Middleton, etc. 44. Rank and wealth have obtained unmerited eminence in the literary world at the expense of gifted dependents 45.

James's Christian Professor, noticed 253. Justification, Faith and the active obedience of Christ, Views of the early Reformers on, Introduction 448. Bearing of these views upon the agitating controversies of the times 449. Importance of the subject 451. Views on justification 453. The term, justification, not of recent coinage 453. The terms, pardon, forgiveness, and justification employed as synonymes 454. Views of Augustine 454. Of Oecumenius, Bernard and of John Calvin 455. Of Ursinus 459. Paraeus 463. Imputation of the righteousness of Christ and remission of sins customarily joined in justification 465. Melancthon says

Of

that justification signifies forgiveness of sins 466. The French and Augsburg Confessions unite substantially in the same sentiment 467. Also the Saxony and Belgic catechisms 468. Wendeline remarks that they express the whole nature of justification who affirm that it consists in the forgiveness of sins 469. Dr. Tilenus says that either forgiveness or imputation taken separately expresses the whole nature of justification 470. Similar statement of Piscator 472. The Calvinistic church, at the first, almost entirely took the ground that pardon was the whole of justification 473. The Calvinists gradually began to make a distinction 474. Opinions of Dr. Amandus Polanus 474. Dr. F. Gomar 476. He explains forgiveness of sins as the prior member of justification 477. A modern definition of pardon the same which the later Reformers gave of justification 478. Recent instances of departure from primitive Calvinism 479, such as that Adam was not created righteous 479. The same the opinion of Dr. Taylor of Norwich 480. Osiander condemned for maintaining this opinion 481.

The constitution of man considered as an intellectual and moral being 65. A right state of heart 65. How may a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures be most effectually diffused? We must have some men in the church who shall press every department of bib

lical and theological learning to its utmost limits, 66. The great body of the christian ministry must receive such an education as shall enable them to avail themselves of the results of the investigations of others 69. The original languages of Scripture, the Latin language 70. Theological Seminaries, 71., etc.

Theological Seminaries, Design of 187.
To furnish the most efficient min-

labor to extend and perfect theo-
logical science 188. To secure
a thorough and specific mental dis-
cipline 191. And to cultivate a
spirit of warm devotional piety 193.
They must be allowed the free in-
vestigation of the Bible 193. Must
not foster a sectarian spirit 195.
Must not interfere in ecclesiastical
government 197. Must stand re-
sponsible to the enlightened senti-
ment of the christian church 198.
Ecclesiastical bodies must not grant
licenses but at the completion of a
full course of study 199.

The

number of theological seminaries
may safely be left to the result of
fair competition 200. They must
be the subjects of the unceasing
prayers of the church 201.

The nature of the union of the prim-
itive church 106. It did not consist
in any compact ecclesiastical or-
ganization of the entire church in a
nation under one supreme judica-
tory 106. The first synod or coun-
cil after the apostolic age 108. It
did not consist in the organization
of the whole church under one vis-
ible head, etc. 110. The papal hi-
erarchy 111. The unity of the
primitive church did not consist in
absolute unanimity in religious sen-
timents 113. The Scriptures con-
tain no provision to preserve abso-
lute unity of sentiment 113. Dif-
ferences of opinion did exist among
the primitive Christians 115. The
first means of union was entire uni-
ty of name, 118. The second, uni-
ty of opinion on all fundamental
doctrines 120. The Apostle's creed
121. The Nicene creed 123. The
third bond of union was the mutual
acknowledgement of each other's
acts of discipline 125. The fourth
was sacramental and ministerial
communion, 126; the fifth, occa-
sional epistolary communication
128; and the last was occasional
consultation in councils or synods
