The sum of Christian religion, delivered by Zacharias Ursinus first, by way of catechism, and then afterwards more enlarged by a sound and judicious exposition, and application of the same : wherein also are debated and resolved the questions of whatsoever points of moment have been, or are controversed in divinity / first Englished by D. Henry Parry, and now again conferred with the best and last Latin edition of D. David Pareus, sometimes Professor of Divinity in Heidelberg ; whereunto is added a large and full alphabetical table of such matters as are therein contained ; together with all the Scriptures that are occasionally handled, by way either of controversy, exposition, or reconciliation, neither of which was done before, but now is performed for the readers delight and benefit ; to this work of Ursinus are now at last annexed the Theological miscellanies of D.

The Explication.
Seeing it hath bin showed in the Treatise next going before who are to be admitted by the Church unto the Lords Supper; very commodiously and fitly shall this doctrine follow, concerning the power of the keys: wherein, besides other things, this chiefly is taught; How they who are not to be admitted, must be restrained and excluded from the Sacraments lest, approaching unto them, they profane them.
SEeing it hath bin shewed in the Treatise next going before who are to be admitted by the Church unto the Lords Supper; very commodiously and fitly shall this doctrine follow, concerning the power of the keyes: wherein, besides other things, this chiefly is taught; How they who are not to be admitted, must be restrained and excluded from the Sacraments lest, approaching unto them, they profane them.
The chief questions are: 1. What the power of the keys given unto the Church is, and what are the parts thereof. 2. Whether Ecclesiastical discipline and excommunication be necessary. 3. To whom that power is committed: against whom, and in what order to be used. 4. To what ends it is to be directed, and what abuses therein are to be avoided. 5. What that power of the keys committed unto the Church differeth from the Civill power.
