A45835	Vindiciæ veritatis, or, An impartial account of two several disputations the one being on the 12th. and the other on the 26th of February, 1671. between Mr. Danson a non-conformist minister, and Mr. Ives, upon this question, (viz) whether the doctrine of the possibility of some true believers final apostacy, be true, or no? Published to prevent false reports. Together with an appendix; in which the said question is more fully resolved in the affirmative, and the absurd[i]t[i]es of the negative opinion detected from the pens of divers of the patrons of it. By a lover of truth and peace.; Contention for truth	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1672 (1672)	Wing I1106A; ESTC R218068	84,282	219

to_o those_o sheep_n john_n 10._o that_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o all_o true_a believer_n for_o it_o be_v say_v of_o those_o sheep_n that_o they_o hear_v christ_n voice_n and_o follow_v he_o mr._n

mr._n danson_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o if_o all_o true_a believer_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o rock_n than_o they_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n and_o follow_v he_o to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o

i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n prove_v it_o by_o a_o argument_n that_o all_o that_o be_v build_v upon_o a_o roc_n continue_v there_o and_o can_v but_o remain_v there_o mr._n danson_n they_o that_o

ives_n this_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o no_o argument_n can_v ●e_v draw_v from_o it_o and_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v parable_n but_o if_o i_o will_v you_o can_v from_o thence_o conclude_v the_o thing_n deny_v mr._n danson_n i_o will_v prove_v it_o without_o a_o parable_n if_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v compare_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o fix_v

for_o when_o you_o go_v to_o preach_v against_o true_a believer_n fall_v away_o total_o and_o final_o you_o will_v make_v the_o people_n believe_v you_o have_v text_n enough_o therefore_o i_o say_v

that_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o lay_v down_o that_o principle_n be_v to_o oppose_v a_o opinion_n of_o the_o quaker_n so_o that_o let_v the_o reason_n be_v what_o it_o will_v you_o do_v say_v those_o

never_o perish_v and_o what_o absurdity_n be_v in_o this_o interpretation_n but_o i_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o my_o answer_n in_o this_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o certain_a number_n of_o people_n that_o can_v never_o perish_v in_o this_o world_n but_o god_n will_v by_o interpose_v grace_n carry_v they_o into_o the_o other_o world_n and_o land_n they_o there_o safe_o for_o ever_o which_o
