As noted in my post on Juan De Rada, Mastri was highly influenced by De Rada and advanced a powerful defense of the Scotist position on Christology. This is highly relevant to Reformed theology as Voetius was known to often consult De Rada's Controversies Between St. Thomas and Scotus and also follows Scotus against referring to Christ as properly composite (for his affirmation of this, see here). The influence of Scotus upon Reformed Christology has been well-documented by Cross in his Metaphysics and Christology in the 17th-Century and would should especially take note of his comments on Petrus Van Mastricht at 6.3. I also add that Scotist influence upon Van Mastricht may be discerned in his denial that multiple divine persons may assume one human nature (see Cross's "Counting Persons and Natures" in The Metaphysics of the Incarnation).
