Theomachia autexousiastikē
Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianism. Being a discovery of the old Pelagian idol free-will, with the new goddess contingency, advancing themselves, into the throne of the God of heaven to the prejudice of his grace, providence, and supreme dominion over the children of men. Wherein the main errors of the Arminians are laid open, by which they are fallen off from the received doctrine of all the reformed churches, with their opposition in divers particulars to the doctrine established in the Church of England. Discovered out of their own writings and confessions, and confuted by the Word of God. / By John Owen, Master of Arts of Queens College in Oxon.Theomachia autexousiastikē: or, A display of Arminianisme.

Dan. 9. 26. but what need we reckon any more: our Saviour taught his Disciples, that all the Prophets from Moses, spake concerning him, and that the sole reason, why they did not so readily embrace the faith of his passion, and resurrection, was, because they believed not the Prophets, Luk. 24. 25, 26. showing plainly, that the Prophets required faith in his death and passion.
