Master traces how from this one position, the idea was expanded and modifiedeven by the documents own authors!just years after its reception, in very distinct ways. Each of these expansions on what was intended to be a consensus document forms the basis for later traditions regarding assurance within the Reformed and Evangelical traditions.
