A10194 The perpetuitie of a regenerate mans estate VVherein it is manifestly proued by sundry arguments, reasons and authorities. That such as are once truly regenerated and ingrafted into Christ by a liuely faith, can neither finally nor totally fall from grace. It is also proued, that this hath beene the receiued and resolued doctrine, of all the ancient fathers, of all the Protestant churches and writers beyond the seas, and of the Church of England. All the principall arguments that are, or may be obiected against it, either from Scripture, or from reason, are here likewise cleared and answered. By William Prynne Gent: Lincolniensis.

for_o the_o second_o evasion_n that_o the_o elect_a saint_n of_o god_n can_v be_v final_o 2._o seduce_v i_o willing_o admit_v but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v total_o seduce_v notwithstanding_o that_o i_o shall_v deny_v for_o first_o if_o they_o may_v be_v seduce_v total_o for_o a_o time_n than_o the_o word_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n be_v not_o so_o full_o satisfy_v for_o he_o that_o be_v

be_v deceive_v final_o to_o and_o so_o both_o final_o and_o total_o which_o will_v quite_o falsify_v and_o delude_v this_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o elect_a saint_n of_o god_n to_o be_v final_o seduce_v it_o must_v be_v likewise_o impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v total_o seduce_v to_o last_o the_o sense_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o scripture_n and_o the_o very_a literal_a word_n do_v full_o imply_v and_o affirm_v that_o they_o can_v neither_o final_o nor_o total_o be_v seduce_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v give_v these_o scripture_n their_o
