Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

16 This Communion, begun here upon earth, shall then (after that those things which belong unto the use of this life are abolished) be perfected in that eternal kingdom, when as faith being changed into a full knowledge, hope into the enjoying of the things hoped for, and charity being made perfect, God shall be all in all his Saints.
