Thanks so much for this series. am I learning a lot. I remember that some guy in twitter (now X) mentioned that there ‘was a kind’ of hypothetical universalim accepted by the orthodox Reformed. John Davenant seemed to be who advanced that idea. If I recall correctly M. Lynch published a book/phd-thesis on that. I was wondering if you could provide some other references where I can learn about Davenant’s hypothetical universalism and its relationship with Moses Amyraut.
Blessings
In this podcast series, I do a little bit with Davenant and I interact with Lynn’s book a bit. I’m not happy with the way he casts the narrative. Perhaps I misunderstand what he means by contra-Remonstrants but is he tells it they are one extreme and the Remonstrants are the other. That certainly is not true if tge contras include those who wrote the 1611 Contra Remonstrance, which served as an outline of what would become the canons themselves.
On Davenant see:

Lynch does not like my analysis, but I don’t believe that hypothetical universalism is consonant with the Canons. Brakel and others argued tge same case.
There’s more to come in the series, stay tuned.
I will stay tuned. Thank you!
