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.

therefore_o be_v but_o wish_n and_o desire_n prove_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o i_o second_o these_o wish_n and_o desire_v they_o be_v not_o absolute_a but_o conditional_a they_o be_v subordinate_a to_o god_n will_v and_o therefore_o they_o prove_v nothing_o absolute_o three_o they_o be_v such_o wish_n and_o prayer_n which_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a to_o be_v perform_v because_o they_o be_v contrary_a and_o repugnant_a to_o god_n infinite_a justice_n for_o it_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o god_n justice_n to_o condemn_v a_o righteous_a man_n that_o so_o many_o

god_n have_v predestinate_v paul_n and_o moses_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o have_v reprobate_v and_o cast_v off_o these_o israelite_n for_o who_o these_o wish_n of_o they_o be_v make_v these_o

the_o justice_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v not_o full_o satisfy_v with_o the_o death_n of_o these_o 3000._o man_n but_o that_o he_o have_v some_o great_a temporal_a judgement_n in_o store_n for_o they_o make_v recourse_n unto_o god_n for_o they_o by_o prayer_n confess_v their_o sin_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o it_o and_o desire_v god_n to_o pardon_v it_o if_o not_o then_o he_o desire_v god_n rather_o to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n and_o to_o blot_v he_o out_o of_o his_o book_n then_o to_o suffer_v so_o many_o of_o his_o people_n for_o to_o perish_v to_o which_o prayer_n of_o he_o god_n

not_o against_o i_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o book_n of_o life_n live_v and_o between_o that_o book_n of_o life_n wherein_o the_o righteous_a be_v

death_n and_o shall_v never_o inherit_v everlasting_a life_n so_o than_o you_o see_v that_o those_o place_n make_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o i_o that_o those_o who_o name_n be_v register_v and_o write_v in_o heaven_n and_o the_o book_n of_o life_n can_v never_o be_v blot_v out_o again_o and_o so_o they_o can_v fall_v quite_o away_o from_o grace_n elevent_o those_o who_o be_v once_o true_o

to_o the_o other_o place_n remain_v now_o to_o be_v answer_v which_o be_v two_o in_o number_n first_o that_o these_o word_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a imply_v only_o 1._o a_o great_a difficulty_n but_o

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

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
