Vermigli’s Loci Communes - his systematic theology, compiled from his commentaries after his death by Robert Masson and translated by Anthonie Marten (London, 1583), ‘divided into foure principall parts’, with the appended letters, sermons and prayers of the English folio. This Elizabethan translation is the only complete English version; the EEBO-TCP keyed transcription is used, with the original sixteenth-century spelling (‘euerie’, ‘moste’) preserved, with long ſ normalized to s. Marginal references appear as footnotes.
