The second Crimination.
C. They make Christ an imperfect Saviour; by pretending that he died 1for some, to some lower ends, whom yet he saveth not.
- 1Cyril. Hierosol. Catech. 18. Multas aeternae vitae januas aperuit, ut om•es quantum in ipso est absque impedimento illo potiri possent.
B. This needeth no other answer than the last. Is God an imperfect God to Adam, because he saved him not by the way of Innocency, at first made by God the way of Life? Or was he an imperfect God and Salvation to the Angels, because they kept not their first Estate? Or is the Holy Ghost an imperfect Sanctifier, because he giveth some but such common and temporary Grace and Faith, as is mentioned in Heb. 6. 5, 6. Matth. 13, &c. Or dare you say that no man that perisheth had any Grace or Gifts of the Holy Ghost, when some prophesied, and cast out Devils in Christ's Name? Must Christ do all that our muddy brains will dictate to him, or else be reproached as an imperfect Saviour? O take heed!
