A81815	The fulness and freeness of Gods grace in Jesus Christ, declared in two general points: first, that personal election is no ground of the saints perseverance in the grace of God by Jesus Christ. Secondly, in what sense the scriptures speake the saints perseverance in that grace. The third part. / By Francis Duke.; Fulnesse and freenesse of Gods grace in Jesus Christ. Part 3	Duke, Francis.	1656 (1656)	Wing D2503; Thomason E892_9; ESTC R205568	71,363	121

their_o power_n and_o hour_n of_o darkness_n upon_o this_o distress_a creature_n sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o can_v see_v no_o light_n yet_o god_n for_o his_o glory_n sake_n secret_o preserve_v the_o mind_n so_o to_o himself_o that_o when_o satan_n think_v himself_o sure_a of_o his_o prey_n god_n then_o will_v set_v the_o soul_n at_o liberty_n by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n in_o this_o life_n and_o then_o will_v in_o effect_n say_v to_o satan_n as_o of_o job_n what_o say_v thou_o to_o my_o servant_n job_n etc._n etc._n or_o else_o by_o take_v he_o into_o eternal_a glory_n and_o so_o satan_n lose_v his_o prey_n for_o ever_o do_v not_o heman_n mean_v quest_n when_o he_o say_v thy_o terror_n have_v cut_v i_o off_o as_o do_v job_n i_o choose_v strangle_v rather_o than_o to_o live_v then_o if_o heman_n or_o job_n have_v strangle_v themselves_o have_v not_o god_n then_o lose_v his_o glory_n in_o that_o satan_n have_v get_v the_o prey_n i_o answer_v answ_n satan_n have_v not_o get_v his_o prey_n though_o he_o have_v hang_v himself_o nor_o god_n lose_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o the_o redundancy_n thereof_o to_o eternity_n how_o be_v this_o possible_a to_o be_v true_a quest_n for_o they_o which_o do_v so_o die_v in_o a_o act_n of_o sin_n which_o nature_n abhor_v that_o be_v the_o destruction_n of_o itself_o i_o answer_v you_o must_v consider_v what_o capacity_n heman_n and_o job_n be_v in_o namely_o right_a believer_n therefore_o not_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o unbeleef_n as_o be_v achitophel_n and_o judas_n that_o hang_v themselves_o for_o die_v such_o they_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o all_o pardon_n of_o sin_n because_o the_o sin_n of_o unbeleef_n in_o such_o cut_v off_o all_o hope_n of_o pardon_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v they_o die_v in_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a in_o this_o case_n they_o be_v not_o themselves_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o deep_a trouble_n and_o distemper_n of_o mind_n therefore_o if_o job_n have_v hang_v himself_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o he_o as_o paul_n in_o another_o case_n that_o which_o i_o do_v i_o allow_v not_o for_o what_o i_o will_v that_o i_o do_v not_o but_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o do_v i._o if_o i_o do_v that_o which_o i_o will_v not_o i_o consent_v to_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v good_a now_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o but_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o so_o may_v job_n in_o this_o case_n say_v it_o be_v not_o i_o 7.15_o rom._n 7.15_o but_o my_o most_o deep_a distemper_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o which_o strangle_v i_o again_o whereas_o you_o sty_n that_o in_o this_o case_n he_o have_v depart_v this_o world_n in_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a a_o sin_n in_o a_o transcendent_a degree_n for_o if_o god_n forbid_v to_o murder_v another_o man_n much_o more_o a_o man_n self_n yet_o say_v our_o lord_n 12.31_o mat._n 12.31_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v forgive_v unto_o man_n but_o the_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o be_v forgive_v therefore_o this_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o job_n a_o believer_n will_v have_v be_v pardon_v unto_o he_o for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o heaven_n nor_o never_o shall_v but_o christ_n himself_o but_o come_v thither_o by_o a_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n again_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o all_o man_n who_o by_o a_o patient_a well-doing_n seek_v for_o honour_n and_o glory_n immortality_n and_o eternal_a life_n have_v not_o as_o yet_o the_o gift_n of_o faith_n and_o die_v without_o it_o they_o ascend_v to_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n through_o the_o universal_a imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n notwithstanding_o the_o universal_a imputation_n of_o adam_n one_o sin_n one_o commit_v nor_o notwithstanding_o their_o own_o sin_n against_o christ_n for_o they_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n in_o the_o same_o right_n that_o all_o mankind_n do_v die_v in_o infancy_n which_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o they_o therefore_o much_o more_o a_o right_a believer_n as_o in_o this_o case_n of_o job_n be_v presuppose_v for_o this_o particular_a act_n of_o sin_n so_o commit_v can_v total_o extinguish_v the_o internal_a habit_n of_o inherent_a righteousness_n whereof_o justify_v faith_n be_v one_o branch_n which_o can_v be_v extinguish_v but_o by_o a_o custom_n in_o sin_n which_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n produce_v another_o nature_n therefore_o this_o internal_a habit_n do_v detain_v in_o itself_o a_o virtual_a tendency_n to_o christ_n its_o most_o proper_a object_n although_o but_o as_o smoke_a flax_n or_o a_o bruise_a reed_n therefore_o in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o strangle_v faith_n virtual_a force_n will_v move_v to_o christ_n be_v own_o object_n as_o jonas_n in_o the_o deep_a sea_n from_o out_o the_o whale_n belly_n the_o motion_n of_o his_o mind_n move_v to_o christ_n the_o true_a temple_n then_o stand_v at_o jerusalem_n so_o holy_a man_n in_o this_o disconsolate_a condition_n in_o the_o depth_n of_o sorrow_n and_o distraction_n their_o memory_n be_v renew_v in_o belief_n to_o receive_v comfort_n in_o the_o satisfactory_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o for_o example_n in_o london_n at_o the_o counter_a in_o the_o poultry_n mr._n mercer_n be_v arrest_v in_o his_o passion_n slay_v the_o sergeant_n and_o be_v hang_v in_o the_o place_n the_o godly_a minister_n and_o his_o friend_n desire_v he_o when_o he_o be_v turn_v off_o the_o ladder_n during_o the_o time_n of_o his_o strangle_a if_o he_o do_v find_v any_o divine_a consolation_n from_o god_n to_o give_v they_o some_o manifestation_n thereof_o the_o which_o he_o do_v by_o lift_v up_o both_o his_o hand_n three_o time_n to_o his_o head_n notwithstanding_o his_o former_a deep_a sorrow_n and_o his_o present_a pain_n his_o body_n so_o hang_v yet_o he_o have_v the_o use_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o memory_n to_o give_v they_o the_o foresay_a sign_n doubtless_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n concern_v godly_a man_n that_o when_o satan_n think_v himself_o sure_a of_o his_o prey_n he_o be_v further_a from_o attain_v his_o desire_a end_n and_o thus_o god_n turn_v the_o rebound_n of_o his_o glory_n to_o himself_o in_o the_o salvation_n of_o holy_a man_n from_o so_o great_a a_o misery_n also_o i_o remember_v mr._n fox_n in_o the_o act_n and_o monument_n of_o the_o church_n of_o a_o martyr_n say_v his_o godly_a friend_n desire_v he_o when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o flame_n that_o if_o such_o a_o sharp_a dissolution_n be_v sufferable_a with_o comfort_n to_o give_v some_o sign_n to_o they_o and_o notwithstanding_o the_o sharpness_n of_o the_o flame_n he_o be_v much_o burn_v and_o their_o expectation_n as_o it_o be_v past_a hope_n yet_o than_o his_o comfort_n be_v internal_o so_o clear_a that_o his_o mind_n remember_v the_o promise_n to_o his_o friend_n and_o give_v a_o sign_n by_o lift_v up_o both_o his_o hand_n three_o time_n to_o his_o head_n in_o those_o fierce_a flame_n to_o the_o great_a amazement_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o godly_a at_o the_o which_o the_o people_n give_v a_o great_a shout_n be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n by_o not_o improve_n their_o grace_n according_a to_o their_o measure_n receive_v may_v turn_v that_o affliction_n which_o god_n inflict_v on_o they_o for_o a_o honourable_a trial_n into_o a_o dishonourable_a sharp_a chastisement_n as_o do_v job_n under_o the_o execution_n of_o satan_n second_o commission_n then_o hence_o observe_v that_o this_o case_n carry_v along_o in_o it_o a_o contingency_n as_o to_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o not_o a_o immutable_a current_n which_o can_v be_v turn_v by_o they_o another_o way_n for_o here_o we_o see_v job_n alter_v its_o course_n wherefore_o god_n proceed_v against_o he_o for_o his_o fault_n as_o be_v prove_v therefore_o you_o saint_n of_o god_n keep_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o your_o grace_n according_a to_o your_o measure_n or_o degree_n give_v you_o by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o be_v sure_a to_o operate_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n direction_n for_o as_o from_o thence_o do_v arise_v the_o truth_n of_o your_o grace_n so_o from_o thence_o must_v arise_v your_o growth_n in_o grace_n and_o perseverance_n therein_o therefore_o make_v not_o the_o consultation_n with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n nor_o your_o vain_a imagination_n your_o religion_n as_o do_v those_o saint_n which_o fall_v away_o to_o be_v quaker_n and_o familist_n not_o only_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o themselves_o but_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o many_o other_o by_o call_v their_o fleshly_a wisdom_n
