As suggested by the title, 'A Perfect Resolution' resolves some outstanding problems and anomalies appertaining to the preceding work ('Stairway to Judgement'), including, not least, the relative positions of what have been called pseudo-sin and pseudo-grace on the one hand and pseudo-crime and pseudo-punishment on the other, drawing them closer to their respective primary complements in both state and church, so that a more integrated conclusion has been reached in which the hegemonic gender of either axis, as redefined in the text, conditions the nature of the subordinate attribute in relation to the presiding ideal, and conditions it, moreover, in its own image.
