Need some help here understanding the history of CT and especially the three men listed above. I was looking at Willem J. Van Asselt's The Federal Theology of Johnnes Cocceius and in the back he had a chart that showed a family tree of sorts of CT. It showed Witsius as descending from both Cocceius and Voetius. After some skimming and index hopping I found out that Cocceius's CT ended up denying the abiding validity of the Sabbath. Voetius took him to task for that. That's about all I know. What aspects did Witsius pick up from each? What are the main differences? If there is an article or thread that elucidates this, I'm more than happy to read it. Thanks!
