What it is

An international Reformed synod answers the Remonstrance under five heads — unconditional election, definite atonement, total depravity, irresistible grace, and perseverance.

Why it lasted

The definitive Reformed statement on grace, and the source of the five points later summarised by an acronym its authors never used.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
