COROLLARY XXXVII.
Now two characters of this restored state must chiefly be weighed, one of which is contained in negation and the other in affirmation. The negative character pertains to this: that the state of restoration is to be judged immune and free from the necessity of perishing. But the affirmative returns to this: that all whom the restored order comprehends are endowed with the power and faculty by which they may conquer the diseases contracted, drive away the darkness of ignorance, extinguish the flames of cupidity, recover soundness, and, increased in liberty, enjoy the heavenly and paternal goods of the sons of God. Moreover, for each character, both the negative and the affirmative—both that which excludes the necessity of perishing and the other which consists in the faculty of obtaining salvation—there are at hand as many witnesses1 as have recorded in their works the unanimous profession of Christians.
