XLI. Q. Is not sin thus made a coequal with Christ? who is but a means to the glorifying of God, to which faith (Dr. Twice) sin is summè conductbile?
XLI. Q. Is not sin thus made a coequal with Christ? who is but a means to the glorifying of God, to which faith (Dr. Twisse) sin is summè conductbile?
XLII. Q. Doth not this doctrine make the sanctification of the Holy Ghost to be unnecessary? when all that is to be done to save us from sin, is for God not to make us sin by his premotion▪ Or doth it not make sanctification to be nothing but this predetermination of God, which is made as necessary to sin as to duty, and so natural and gracious operations made the same, and God to do as much to produce evil efficiently as good?
XLIII. Q. Is it not much worse to man, if God by predetermination make him first a sinner, (and wicked by sinful Habits) and then damn him for it, than if he should damn an innocent man for nothing? For sin and pain is far worse than pain without sin. And to compel the will unwillingly to sin, were it possible, is less than to make it willing.
