That to Jews and Christians that have written Laws, ⟨p. 92⟩there is no sufficient or adjuvant grace, but what maketh them do the act. c. 5. No potential grace (that giveth the power) is sufficient to the act, unless it give the act. c. 6. Hence is the necessity of sinning, p. 126. Unbelievers want Remote as well as Proximate sufficient help and all its principles. c. 11. And the Commands are to them impossible, yet make them unexcusable, c. 18, 19.
