A96425	The doctrines of the Arminians & Pelagians truly stated and clearly answered: or, An examination and confutation of their ancient errors, which by the Church of Christ in former ages were justly abhorred, but of late under the names of Comfortable truths to be embraced are newly published. Concerning I. The universality of Gods free-grace in Christ to mankind. II. Concerning election. III. Redemption. IV. Conversion. V. Perserverance. Wherein the principal arguments brought to maintaine the orthodox faith are propounded, and the principal objections against them answered. / By Thomas Whitfield, minister of the gospel at Bugbrook in Northampton-shire. The Tares of Arminian heresie showed in former times (and by the help of prelatical influence then given to them increasing) and now growing up so much in these; I conceive this book wherein the author doth learnedly state and confute those opinions, is very worthy the publike light.

for_o the_o decree_n themselves_o a_o conditional_a decree_n be_v such_o as_o can_v agree_v to_o god_n for_o thus_o it_o run_v i_o decree_v to_o save_v peter_n if_o he_o will_v believe_v which_o

to_o the_o reprobate_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o elect_n to_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n as_o to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n by_o this_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o be_v love_v or_o hate_v elect_a

repentance_n and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a for_o effect_v salvation_n but_o not_o for_o establish_v the_o decree_n to_o salvation_n these_o must_v go_v before_o man_n salvation_n but_o not_o before_o god_n decree_n all_o condition_n be_v as_o mean_v fit_v for_o the_o end_n and_o mean_n have_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o cause_n and_o be_v all_o one_o with_o it_o food_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o nourishment_n and_o so_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o so_o physic_n be_v the_o mean_n and_o cause_n of_o health_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o faith_n and_o repentance_n they_o be_v mean_n and_o so_o cause_v of_o salvation_n though_o not_o meritorious_a yet_o prepare_v and_o dispose_v cause_n though_o not_o cause_n why_o god_n give_v it_o yet_o cause_v fit_v we_o to_o receive_v

decree_n shall_v have_v cause_n as_o well_o as_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o which_o be_v it_o so_o how_o can_v god_n will_n and_o decree_n be_v the_o first_o and_o high_a cause_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n 4._o god_n when_o he_o decree_v life_n to_o believer_n or_o to_o peter_n if_o he_o will_v believe_v know_v certain_o that_o he_o will_v believe_v and_o therefore_o his_o decree_n be_v not_o

be_v fair_a weather_n this_o be_v a_o absolute_a determination_n object_n faith_n and_o repentance_n go_v not_o before_o as_o cause_n but_o as_o necessary_a condition_n answ_n if_o they_o be_v necessary_a condition_n they_o have_v in_o they_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o cause_n there_o be_v nothing_o needful_a for_o bring_v forth_o a_o effect_n but_o the_o cause_n if_o therefore_o they_o be_v no_o cause_n god_n may_v establish_v his_o decree_n without_o they_o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o they_o as_o go_v before_o the_o decree_n object_n but_o god_n always_o propound_v salvation_n to_o man_n upon_o condition_n therefore_o he_o have_v decree_v it_o on_o condition_n answ_n god_n have_v decree_v to_o execute_v his_o purpose_n of_o salvation_n by_o mean_n and_o these_o be_v condition_n of_o salvation_n as_o faith_n repentance_n and_o the_o like_a these_o therefore_o must_v be_v make_v know_v to_o man_n because_o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o salvation_n without_o they_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o the_o end_n but_o though_o these_o go_v before_o salvation_n and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o they_o follow_v the_o decree_n and_o be_v effect_n of_o that_o for_o god_n decree_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o salvation_n and_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o it_o the_o ignorant_a mistake_n or_o wilful_a jumble_v together_o of_o these_o two_o namely_o the_o decree_n and_o execution_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o confusion_n in_o man_n thought_n touch_v the_o nature_n and_o order_n of_o god_n decree_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n propound_v certain_a condition_n as_o necessary_a to_o man_n salvation_n some_o take_v occasion_n to_o infer_v a_o necessity_n of_o these_o unto_o god_n decree_n touch_v man_n salvation_n whereas_o these_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o execution_n not_o to_o the_o decree_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v bring_v into_o that_o a_o man_n can_v build_v a_o house_n without_o timber_n and_o stone_n can_v he_o therefore_o purpose_v the_o have_v of_o a_o fit_a habitation_n for_o himself_o unless_o the_o consideration_n of_o timber_n and_o stone_n first_o come_v

the_o power_n of_o believe_v as_o arminian_n teach_v but_o upon_o what_o condition_n do_v he_o give_v the_o act_n of_o believe_v if_o it_o be_v

insist_v upon_o because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o arminian_o strong_a hold_n object_n 6_o if_o the_o decree_n of_o election_n be_v absolute_a without_o any_o foresight_n of_o sin_n than_o such_o also_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n then_o as_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o end_n so_o he_o have_v decree_v the_o mean_n namely_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n and_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n answ_n though_o where_o he_o decree_v the_o end_n he_o decree_v the_o mean_n also_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o decree_n to_o work_v all_o the_o mean_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n it_o follow_v not_o therefore_o though_o god_n have_v decree_v adam_n fall_n that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o because_o he_o have_v not_o decree_v to_o work_v it_o but_o only_o to_o permit_v it_o that_o god_n decree_v to_o permit_v the_o fall_n be_v plain_a because_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o nothing_o can_v come_v to_o pass_v against_o god_n will_n and_o none_o can_v deny_v that_o god_n can_v hinder_v the_o fall_n if_o he_o will_v if_o therefore_o he_o will_v not_o hinder_v it_o he_o be_v willing_a it_o shall_v be_v and_o the_o arminian_o themselves_o grant_v that_o god_n give_v to_o man_n sufficient_a grace_n but_o not_o effectual_a for_o than_o he_o have_v actual_o stand_v now_o if_o he_o do_v deny_v he_o effectual_a grace_n without_o which_o he_o see_v certain_o that_o he_o will_v fall_v be_v tempt_v to_o what_o end_n or_o purpose_n do_v he_o deny_v he_o this_o effectual_a grace_n but_o that_o by_o permit_v of_o his_o fall_n he_o may_v make_v way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o mercy_n 2._o in_o man_n first_o transgression_n by_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n as_o in_o all_o other_o sinful_a act_n there_o be_v nature_n work_n and_o so_o god_n work_n for_o though_o the_o deformity_n be_v from_o man_n yet_o the_o act_n itself_o be_v from_o god_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o what_o god_n do_v in_o time_n he_o have_v determine_v to_o do_v before_o all_o time_n therefore_o the_o fall_n must_v needs_o be_v decree_v object_n but_o here_o not_o only_o the_o manner_n of_o eat_v but_o the_o very_o eat_v itself_o be_v forbid_v and_o therefore_o sinful_a answ_n yet_o in_o this_o eat_n we_o must_v distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o eat_n itself_o and_o the_o

for_o the_o vitiosity_n be_v only_o a_o accident_n to_o the_o act_n of_o eat_v and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o god_n do_v concur_v in_o the_o act_n and_o be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o as_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o every_o natural_a act_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o vitiosity_n can_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o also_o object_n god_n do_v indeed_o decree_v to_o concur_v with_o reasonable_a creature_n in_o their_o action_n but_o this_o be_v conditional_o modo_fw-la ipsi_fw-la velint_fw-la so_o they_o themselves_o will_v do_v this_o or_o that_o answ_n god_n do_v concur_v with_o man_n not_o only_o in_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o eat_v but_o in_o the_o inward_a act_n whereby_o he_o will_v to_o eat_v for_o not_o only_o the_o hand_n and_o mouth_n but_o the_o mind_n and_o will_v move_v by_o he_o suppose_v that_o he_o do_v decree_n to_o concur_v with_o man_n in_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o eat_v upon_o condition_n that_o man_n do_v
