Vier Tractaetlein
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
No English translation of the 1704 German edition 'Vier Tractätlein' was found in any of the searched catalogs. Although John Pordage was an English author and an English version of these treatises (titled 'Four Treatises') was reportedly published in 1704, that version would be the original English text rather than a translation of the German edition. Following the 'Source Text Matters' rule, a translation of the specific German text (which includes a translator's preface and reflects the Philadelphian Society's editorial context) would constitute a first English translation of this source. Furthermore, the 1704 English edition itself did not appear in the tool search results, suggesting it is not widely available in modern digital catalogs.

John Pordage challenges the superficiality of modern religious life by demanding a radical, internal transformation. Readers will discover whether their faith is merely a historical tradition or a living, mystical incarnation of Christ within the soul.
