B. You mistake your Adversaries. They hold not that all men have sufficient Grace to Salvation: But sufficient to help them nearer to Salvation. I tell you again, no Saint hath Grace sufficient to his full Salvation, till he is fully saved: Otherwise what need he any more? Some indeed call it mediately sufficient to Salvation, but that's but lis de nomine.
C. If it be sufficient, what need they any more to that which it is said sufficient for? And yet more would do that which is not done. But no man should desire more than is sufficient.
B. All this is a Game at words: *By [Sufficient] they mean only necessary help, without which the act cannot be done, and with which it can and may be done: They do not mean all that is needful ad cert• esse, or ad melius esse. Therefore I use rather to call it All necessary help or Grace ad esse.
