Limborch

Limborch, PHILIP VAN, Remonstrant theologian, was born at Amsterdam in 1633, studied there and at Utrecht, and afterwards served as a preacher at Gouda and Amsterdam, and became in 1668 professor in the Remonstrant college at Amsterdam, where he died in 1712. Of his numerous and learned works most valuable for the fullness and clearness of its exposition is his Institutiones Theologiae Christianæ (1686; 5th ed. 1735). An English translation of this, by W. Jones, was printed in 1702; and of his History of the Inquisition, by S. Chandler, in 1731.
