“Rollock’s Catechism”) in Mid-America Journal of Theology. In 2013 I published translations of two short sections of Rollock’s Romans commentary (Denlinger, “Rollock on Covenant and Sacrament”) in Reformation & Renaissance Review. The translations comprised in those articles are reproduced here with permission, albeit with slight revision.

19. Perkins, Armilla (1591), F2r–F2v. Perkins, it should be noted, does not identify this covenant of works as a pre-fall arrangement. References to Jer 32:31 and Gal 4:24 in his discussion of the foedus operum suggest he primarily envisioned the “covenant of works” as a principle of inheritance on the basis of perfect obedience established after the fall, a principle embodied especially in the Decalogue, a principle which served to prompt sinners to despair of their self-righteousness and take refuge in God’s gratuitous promise of life on the basis of Christ’s obedience and sacrifice.

22. Attention to Rollock’s earliest account of God’s duplex covenant with man likewise problematizes the assumption that Robert Howie, a Scottish student of Caspar Olevian’s in Herborn in the later 1580s, constituted an “important link” (Woolsey, Unity and Continuity, 517) between Rollock and the Heidelberg (covenant) theologians, an assumption that rests at least in part on Howie’s 1591 publication De reconciliatione hominis cum Deo. In that work Howie contrasted God’s gratuitous covenant, serving as the instrument of sinful man’s reconciliation to God, with “that covenant which God established with Adam in creation (which covenant was afterwards published in the law), according to which Adam was obligated to render perfect obedience to God in his own strength” (Howie, De reconciliatione, 15).
