This article appears in Volume V28, Page 762 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WITSIUS, HERMANN (1636-1708) , Dutch theologian, was
born
  at Enkhuysen,
North
  Holland, and studied at
Groningen
 ,
Leiden
  and
Utrecht
 . He was ordained to the
ministry
 , becoming pastor at Westwoud in 1656 and afterwards at Wormeren, Goesen and Leeuwaarden, and became
professor
  of divinity successively at Franeker (1675) and at
Utrecht
  (168o). In 1698 he went to
Leiden
  as the successor of
Friedrich
  Spanheim the younger (1632-1701). He died at Leiden on the 22nd of
October
  1708.
Witsius tried to mediate between the orthodox theology and the " federal "
system
  of Johannes Cocceius, but did not succeed in pleasing either party. The more important of his works are: Judaeus christianizanscirca principia fidei. et SS. Trinitatem (Utrecht, 1661); De oeconomia foederum Dei cum hominibus (1677, still regarded as one of the clearest and most suggestive expositions of the so-called " federal " theology) ; Diatribe de septem epistolarum apocalypticarum sensu historico ac prophetic() (Franeker, 1678); Exercitationes sacrae in symbolum quad apostolorum dicitur et in orationem Dominicam (Franeker, 1681) ; Miscellanea sacra (Utrecht, 1692-1700, 2 vols.).
