Upon the EPITOME
OF
Christian Divinity,
Publſht for the common benefit,
by the moft reverend and famous Doctor
John Wollebius,
chief Chair-man and Profeſſor of Divinity.
CAlvin, great Key of th'Scriptures as'tis clear,
In's Books, inſtructed many far and near:
Whoſe learned Inſtitutions next thoſe known
Grand Euangelick truths give place to none:
Next Calvin, did Polanus ſo Comprize
Divinity, as't will live when th'Author dies.
Both theſe, Wollebius ſurpaſſed, such
Was his great skill, in little to ſeak much.
Go on, the Fathers Oracles thus t'unlock,
And be the Father of thine own poor flock.
