The Declaration of Sentiments

What it is
A defence before the States of Holland of his views on predestination, arguing that election is conditional on foreseen faith and that God's grace may be resisted.
Why it lasted
The clearest statement of the position that became Arminianism, delivered a year before its author died with the controversy unresolved.
