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.

1The purity and perfectness of the Law therein contained: For impossible it is, that that Religion should be true, and derived from God, which maketh Idols, or approveth open out-rages, flat against the express Law of God, and sound judgement of reason. Now all religions (that only excepted which is delivered in Scripture, and received of the Church) are manifestly convicted of this crime: For (as before hath been sufficiently declared) they either abrogate and cancel the first Table of Gods Law touching the true God, and his worship, or they shamefully defile and disgrace it with their feigned untruths; and of the second Table they reserve only a part, touching outward decent demeanour, and civill duties. Only the Church, according to the prescript of Scripture, retaineth both Tables of the Law whole and sound. Wherefore the doctrine of the Church alone is true and divine.
