And for the Doctrinal Controversies mentioned, most of them lie more in words then in sense, and all of them are far from the foundation, though they be about Christ, who is the Foundation. If one of your picture-drawers mistake the complexion of Christ, or if one should say he was not buried in a sheet, these are errors about Christ that is the foundation, and yet far from the foundation. Those of us that say Christ dyed for all, and those that say he dyed not for all, do agree as your School-men do, that he dyed for all, as to the sufficiency of his death and price: but he dyed not for all as to the actual efficiency of pardon and salvation: Is not this your doctrine? and is not this ours? and are not you as much disagreed about it as we? what else meant the late decision against the Jansenists? and what meaneth the present persecution of them in France? And yet have you the faces to make this a reproach of us? And for ⟨p. 109⟩the righteousness of Christ, we are commonly agreed that it is both his Obedience and Passion that we are justified and saved by: though we are not all of a mind about the reason of their several interests; which difference is so far from unchristening us, that it makes no considerable odds among our selves, who are censorious enough in cases of difference.
