A. They make Christ to come on so narrow a design into the World, as if they would tempt Unbelievers to despise him: Even to die for none in all the World, for 4000 years, save a very few of the little Country of Judea, (which was mostly wicked); and even since the Church was Catholic, but for a few called the Elect.
