Augustus Toplady's "Doctrinal Calvinism in the Church of England" (p. 10...

Rev. Toplady retails the Papal execrations and anathemetizations of Janenism and his work on Augustine. The Romanistic anti-Jansenism was Europe-wide and ordered the withholding of last rites to any Jansenist (pro-Augustinian). Toplady briefly tours Aquinas showing his lucid moments, but then Acquinas's contradictions on the role of merit-mongery and the treasury of the saints' merits, that is, grace starts the regenerative process of infusa gratia, but election may be lost and perseverence is no guarantee, thus, aligning with anti-Jansenist forces and Tridentine theology., Rome likes to boast of Augustine, yet damns and excommunicates Jansenists. Many Jansenist propositions are Calvinist which, by inference, extends the condemnations to Calvinists and the Church of England (Calvinistic until it wasn't). Toplady also descants on the ignorance of Misters John Wesley and Walter Sellon, the latter being an ardent agent of Wesley. Toplady discourses on Aquinas's contradictions, Semi-Pelagian propositions, free will and more, in contrast to St. Augustine the Greater. The Church of England has lost this as have the mainliners in the United States including the PCUSA. The Biblical call to elevate, discourse and teach the doctrine of God has never been more necessary than for the 21st century. Such is the foundation for all church services, individual lives, and for others inside and outside the church. Law and Gospel. So, here we are in 2023 with only 550,000 Calvinists in the USA with a population of 330 million. ACNA and the REC are badly compromised and the Bishops pulls the drapes of the theological living room. The Anglo-Catholics are Arminians and Romanists on soteriology and the Trinity. "We're surrounded. Excellent. Fire in every direction. They won't get away this time" (GEN "Chesty" Puller, USMC). "Hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast and hit 'em often" (ADM "Bull" Halsey, PACFLT Commander, USN). Although Toplady does not address the Trinitarian aspect, it is one of the branches of predestination, or, better said, predestination is one branch of Trinitarian orthodoxy. Send the memo to the FCE, REC, and ACNA Bishops who are mum and inert on God's sovereign decrees.
