To which also Chrysostom subscribing, saith, as soon as a Man 1Believes, he is presently also Justified. Which if it be true, then it is false, which you assert. For you affirm that the obtaining of Salvation consists wholly in this, that we should transform our 2selves entirely into the similitude of Christ. And again you say, there is no other way of Salvation established for us, but that which is contained in the Law of God. And the same you affirmed elsewhere, having openly asserted: That ascent into Heaven is given to the merits of the greatest Virtues, and that the Mansions of the Eternal Kingdom, are given justly and deservedly to Holy and Pure Men. For so, Say you, it comes to pass that the Immortal Kingdom is due by the best right to Just Men; not only as a recompense and remard, but also as a Lawful Inheritance, being founded upon the Wisdom and Bounty of the Father.
