Besides the book mentioned by the author, & his Demonstratio logica; his Polemical treatises, which, are extant, are, 1. that sinewous work, Bellarminus enervatus, where the volumes of that daring Jesuit, and Cardinal are so concisely answered, as if Homers Iliads were in a nutshell, and that exact piece in the Arminian controversies, his Coronis, besides those other disputes, viz, his Antisynodalia, contra Grevinchovium, his 1 and 2 Manuduction, his Reply, and Triplication. 2. His systematical treatises, his Catechism (which I find mentioned, but have not seen it) that worthy work worthily called Medulla Theologiae, the Marrow of Divinity, and that practical institution (wherein he exceedeth not only Pontificians and Lutherans handling that argument, but also his own guide in that work, who died before he could finish it, famous Mr. Perkins) his Cases of conscience. 3. His exegetical treatises, viz his Analysis upon the whole book of the Psalms (which he lived not to perfect, to his mind) his notes upon the 1. & 2. Epistles of Peter, and upon the catechetical heads.
