part 1

The INTRODUCTION To the Answer, To Balthasar Tylcken's aspersing Pamphlet, concerning some Points or Con∣clusions, in the Book of the Becoming Man or Incarnation of Jesus Christ, by him Opposed.

An Admonition, also what the First Prin∣ciple or the Dark World, is; and how, the Fire is not the First Principle.

Of a right Christian. And of the Divine Wis∣dome the Eternall Virgin that is no Genetrix.

Of the Third Principle, which is the Bride of God: and how the Spirit of God is no Principle and yet is a Principle.

Wherefore the Outward World is a Principle of its own; its Model is Eternall.

How the Soul is out of all the Three-Worlds, of its Might and Free-will; of the draw∣ing of the Father; and what is cal∣led to Beleeve above Reason.

Of the Grosse Errour of Balthasar Tylcken, Concerning the Seed of Adam upon which he buildeth his Election.

Why God hated Cain and Esau, and loved Abel and Jacob, and which are those lost sinners that Christ is come to save.

What the hardening is: And how the Love of God warneth the Sinner: Also how the Love of God is as well Omnipotent to preservation as his Anger is to Destruction.

Question.

Answer.

What God is; and how without the Dark∣nesse all would be Nothing: and in what Manner Man hath Ability or Strength to goe out of Evill into Good and out of Good into Evill.

How Balthasar Tylcken is the Devils Advo∣cate: How the Devill doth assault none More with Despaire, then the Children of God; also Concerning firme Confidence of the Faithfull.

How Nothing is impossible to Faith. What Gods Drawing is. Why the Wicked Becometh Not Drawn. What a right Christian is: and who becometh hardened by God.

The abominable Doctrine of Balthasar Tylc∣ken: Admonition not to doubt of Electi∣on: Admonition and Warning to Balthasar Tylcken.

Of the Eternall Predestination and Election of God; The beginning and End thereof is One only, and Alwayes the same.

The Second Part. Of the Becoming Man or Incarna∣tion and Person of Christ.

How Christ, is become Man or Incarnate, out of No Strange Seed, but out of Mary, and yet indeed not in Eves Earthly Essence, the Holy Ghost was the Man or Masculine therein.

What Manner of Essence the Word received or assumed, wherein God and Man became One Person: Also how Christ is a Creature, and how he is No Creature.

Of the Virgin Mary. How Mary was no strange Virgin, but the Daughter of Joachim and Anna, Whence the Author hath his Know∣ledge. And what is called, Christs Descending into Hell.

Question. How is the New Birth performed in Ʋs? Also: WHAT of Ʋs shall Arise?

How Mary was Eves Daughter; and how Christ hath had a Humane Soul, which is Eternally Immortall.

Of the vaine Contention about knowledge: When we reade IN our selves, then we reade in Gods Book; No knowledge maketh us happy: A Warning and Ad∣monition.

A Conclusions Also how the present so called Christians, Turks, Jewes and Heathens are alike. And how one people shall devoure the other: The Har∣vest is neere.

A Postscript of the Translatour into Nether-Dutch out of the Three High-Dutch Copies, and this English Tran∣slation out of a High-Dutch Co∣py was Compared with it. Who writes thus.

Here follow the CONTENTS Of the SECTIONS, As they were Devided by the Translatour into the Nether-Dutch.
