This article builds on two earlier studies, in the light of the new critical edition of Guy de Brès’ Le baston de la foy. It examines the sources of the 62 patristic extracts found in chapter 6, on the theme of merit and justification. 41 of these have been taken from the 1551 French translation of Bodius’s Unio dissidentium and a further extract is also found there, but in a very different translation. Ten extracts have been taken from the 1553 French translation of Calvin’s Institutio and a further extract is also found there, but in a very different translation. The critical edition has located French sources for four of the eleven remaining extracts; the other seven have yet to be traced. Also examined are the doctrinal claims made by de Brès for patristic teaching on justification and merit. These are modest and generally realistic.

In 1555, Guy de Brès published his anthology of quotations from the church fathers under the title Le baston de la foy chrestienne. During a stay in Lausanne and Geneva, some years later, he most likely met Pierre Viret. No correspondence, however, has survived, but recent research has revealed that de Brès was perfectly aware of Viret’s French-language publications. Viret appears to have been one of de Brès’ favourite authors. He selected quotations from no fewer than eleven different books. This article aims to focus on the quotations taken from Viret’s oeuvre. First, it documents where the thematic focal points lie. For which themes did de Brès use Viret’s input? It also examines which quotations were removed during the various revisions of Le baston. Finally, the question will be answered why some of Viret’s writings were not incorporated into Le baston when, from the point of view of content, they could well have been.
1555 年，居伊-德-布雷斯（Guy de Brès）以 Le baston de la foy chrestienne 为题出版了他的教父语录选集。几年后，在洛桑和日内瓦逗留期间，他很可能遇到了皮埃尔-维雷。虽然没有书信往来，但最近的研究表明，德布雷非常了解维雷特的法语出版物。Viret 似乎是 de Brès 最喜欢的作家之一。他从不下 11 本不同的书籍中选取了语录。本文旨在重点介绍从 Viret 作品中摘录的语录。首先，它记录了主题的焦点所在。de Brès 在哪些主题上使用了 Viret 的资料？它还研究了在《Le baston》的多次修订过程中，哪些引文被删除了。最后，还将回答一个问题：从内容的角度看，Viret 的一些作品本可以被纳入《Le baston》，但为何没有被纳入？

Guy de Brès, reformer of the southern Low Countries, was tried and condemned for heresy in 1567. In prison he was interrogated by François Richardot, bishop of Arras. De Brès’ notes and letters were published posthumously as Procedures tenues. As he had written Le baston de la foy chrestienne as a guide for the Reformed who had to defend their faith, now de Brès had to defend himself and use his knowledge of the Church Fathers. The critical edition of this work will show what material from Le baston returns and what knowledge he acquired that goes beyond his own anthology. We analyze his use of Scholastic authorities, of the first eucharistic controversy of Radbertus and Ratramus, and of a specific edition of the Opus imperfectum on the Gospel of Matthew, published in Antwerp and thus accessible to the itinerant preacher. De Brès had recourse to a range of treatises on the Lord’s Supper, which were translated into French, from various reformers. He had also developed the skills to go beyond works of reference, study a contemporaneous edition of a Church Father, and make an informed decision of its value.
1567 年，南部低地国家的改革者居伊-德-布雷斯（Guy de Brès）因异端邪说受审并被判刑。在狱中，阿拉斯主教弗朗索瓦-理查多对他进行了审问。德布雷斯的笔记和信件在死后作为 Procedures tenues 出版。德布雷曾将 Le baston de la foy chrestienne 一书作为新教改革者捍卫信仰的指南，现在他必须为自己辩护，并运用他对教父的了解。这部作品的批判版将展示他从 Le baston 中获取了哪些材料，以及他获得了哪些超越自己选集的知识。我们将分析他对学者权威、拉德贝图斯和拉特拉穆斯的第一次圣体论争以及关于《马太福音》的《未完成的作品》（Opus imperfectum）的具体版本的使用，这些作品在安特卫普出版，因此巡回传教士也能读到。德布雷还参考了各种宗教改革家关于主的晚餐的论文，并将其翻译成法文。他还掌握了超越参考书、研究教父的同时期版本并对其价值做出明智判断的技巧。

The chapter on baptism that Guy de Brès added to the fourth edition of Le baston de la foy chrestienne in 1559 is a good illustration of how the work was evolving from a polemical anthology of patristic and biblical quotations to more of a dogmatic compendium. The new chapter also exhibits a number of structural and theological parallels with de Brès’ Belgic Confession of 1561. In its treatment of baptism in relation to original sin and salvation, baptism as a means of grace, and infant baptism, the chapter indicates at the very least that some of the concepts, themes, and theological reasoning that appeared in the Belgic Confession in 1561 were already present, sometimes in fairly developed form, in Le baston two years earlier.
盖伊-德布雷（Guy de Brès）在 1559 年第四版的《基督教徒的福音》（Le baston de la foy chrestienne）中加入了关于洗礼的一章，这一章很好地说明了这部作品是如何从教父和圣经语录的论战选集演变成教义大全的。新章节在结构和神学方面也与德布雷斯 1561 年的《贝尔格告白》有许多相似之处。该章在论述洗礼与原罪和救赎的关系、洗礼作为恩典的一种手段以及婴儿洗礼时，至少表明 1561 年《贝尔格忏悔录》中出现的一些概念、主题和神学推理已经出现在两年前的《Le baston》中，有时是以相当成熟的形式出现。

Guy de Brès collected biblical and patristic quotations in the chapter on confession to God in his first work, Le baston de la foy chrestienne, to demonstrate that confession to priests was not supported by the Church Fathers or the Bible. This essay examines de Brès’ intention in using various quotations in the chapter by comparing his usage of quotations with the original text and with his colleagues’ use of them. The paper also discusses the revisions made by the reformer and what his intentions were there. In particular, de Brès placed the chapter on confession between the chapters on baptism and the Lord’s Supper, leading readers to consider what confession is within the context of the doctrine of the sacraments. Furthermore, this essay shows that he implied that we must be reconciled with each other before the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, suggesting a public confession, which later became part of the Dutch Reformed tradition.
居伊-德-布雷斯（Guy de Brès）在他的第一部作品《基督的忏悔》（Le baston de la foy chrestienne）中关于向上帝忏悔的一章中收集了圣经和教父的引文，以证明向神父忏悔并没有得到教父和圣经的支持。本文通过比较德-布雷斯使用的引文与原文及其同事使用的引文，探讨了他在该章中使用各种引文的意图。本文还讨论了改革者所做的修改及其意图。特别是，德布雷将关于忏悔的章节放在了关于洗礼和主的晚餐的章节之间，引导读者在圣事教义的背景下思考什么是忏悔。此外，这篇文章还表明，他暗示我们必须在庆祝主的晚餐之前彼此和好，暗示了一种公开的忏悔，这种忏悔后来成为荷兰改革宗传统的一部分。

The development from the first edition (1555) to the final edition (1565) of Le baston reflects the theological growth of de Brès, who was a refugee pastor and theologian. Le baston gradually developed into a comprehensive theological work, reflecting Calvin’s theology. The church and state theory of the Belgic Confession showed a more public and universal character, since it was written in response to the need to systematically defend the Reformed Church’s faith. However, Le baston’s thoughts on Church and State provided pastoral comfort to the Reformed Church members of the Southern Netherlands who were suffering from persecution by the state, emphasizing that the Reformed Church’s faith was in continuity with the Early Church. Further, it can be said that Le baston allows us to understand that the Dutch Reformed Church has come to stand in the line of Calvin’s theology. It is noteworthy that de Brès’ theology gradually developed in the historical situation of his time, following Calvin’s theological way.
Le baston》从初版（1555 年）到最后一版（1565 年）的发展反映了作为难民牧师和神学家的 de Brès 在神学方面的成长。Le baston》逐渐发展成为一部反映加尔文神学的综合性神学著作。贝尔格忏悔录》中的教会与国家理论更具有公共性和普遍性，因为它是为了系统地捍卫改革宗教会的信仰而写的。然而，勒巴斯顿关于教会与国家的思想为遭受国家迫害的南荷兰改革宗教会成员提供了牧灵安慰，强调改革宗教会的信仰与早期教会一脉相承。此外，可以说勒巴斯顿让我们了解到荷兰改革宗教会已经站在了加尔文神学的立场上。值得注意的是，德布雷斯的神学是在他所处时代的历史背景下，沿着加尔文的神学道路逐渐发展起来的。

On occasion of the celebrations for the fifth centenary of Guy de Brès’ birth, as well as the publication of the first volume of the critical edition of his theological works, this article aims at analysing the epistle-like preface and Catalogue des Docteurs et Conciles included in de Brès’ first theological/polemical treatise, entitled Le baston de la foy chrestienne (first published in 1555). The preface is placed within the context of anti-Anabaptist polemics and in continuity with previous Reformed efforts to convince civil authorities across Europe that the Reformed church did not harbour seditious troublemakers or detested heretics; the Catalogue of doctors and councils, alongside the preface, constitutes a summary of the apologetical and polemical reply Le baston expressed against a Roman Catholic work by Nicole Grenier entitled Le bouclier de la foy and directed against Reformed believers and their doctrine. While the patristic and canonical sources used by de Brès for the writing of Le baston remain to be fleshed out more precisely, the critical edition of Le baston will shed new light on this and other matters, representing a further step towards the understanding of the life and theology of a key protagonist of the European Reformation of the mid sixteenth century.
在庆祝居伊-德-布雷斯诞辰五百周年以及他的神学作品批判版第一卷出版之际，本文旨在分析德-布雷斯的第一部神学/论战论文《Le baston de la foy chrestienne》（1555 年首次出版）中的书信式序言和《Catalogue des Docteurs et Conciles》。这篇序言是在反再洗礼派论战的背景下撰写的，与之前改革宗为说服欧洲各国政府相信改革宗教会没有包庇煽动闹事者或令人憎恶的异端所做的努力一脉相承；与序言并列的 "博士和公会目录 "是《Le baston》针对尼科尔-格勒尼耶 (Nicole Grenier) 的罗马天主教著作《Le bouclier de la foy》以及针对改革宗信徒及其教义所做的辩护和论战答复的摘要。虽然德-布雷斯在撰写《Le baston》时所使用的教父和教规资料仍有待更精确的充实，但《Le baston》的批判版将为这一问题和其他问题带来新的启示，代表着在了解这位 16 世纪中叶欧洲宗教改革的关键人物的生平和神学方面又迈进了一步。

Self-taught geologist and early convert to Seventh-day Adventism, George McCready Price played a significant, yet largely overlooked role in the rise of the modern creationist movement—and, to some degree, can be seen as the lynchpin leading to mainstream adoption of literal readings of the Christian scriptures. Influenced greatly by the writings of Ellen White, the prophetess of the Adventist movement, Price developed his ideas on flood geology which eventually became a cornerstone of creationist thinking. Price’s commitment to biblical literalism, influenced by White’s visions, shaped his worldview and led him to reconcile his interest in geology with the Adventist model of Earth’s history. His central argument for creationism was based on his belief in a worldwide flood, as described in the biblical narrative, which he saw as having shaped most of the Earth’s geological features. Although Price’s contributions were initially overlooked, his ideas gained prominence through the work of John Whitcomb and Henry Morris, who popularized his concepts in their influential book, The Genesis Flood. Price’s effect on modern creationism highlights the intersection of fundamentalist Christianity, particularly Adventism, with the evolving tension between theology and science in the 20th Century.

This article focuses on a specific edition of the Dutch liturgical form for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. This edition from 1568 contains an extension concerning the words of distribution and the thanksgiving. This modification was done by Dathenus himself. In terms of its origin, this specific edition fits well within the patterns in the genesis of the (Dutch) form for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper itself. The content of the extension includes an invitation, an expansion of the words of distribution, and instruction in the thanksgiving regarding communion with Christ, the eschatological perspective, and living in gratitude. Various motives played a role in this extension, both in terms of the context of its origin and its context of use.

This edition from 1568 contains an extension concerning the words of distribution and the thanksgiving. This modification was done by Dathenus himself. In terms of its origin, this specific edition fits well within the patterns in the genesis of the (Dutch) form for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper itself. The content of the extension includes an invitation, an expansion of the words of distribution, and instruction in the thanksgiving regarding communion with Christ, the eschatological perspective, and living in gratitude. Various motives played a role in this extension, both in terms of the context of its origin and its context of use.
