Peter 5. vers .8. and 9 Wherein is shewed that the diuell is to be resisted only by a stedfast faith, how soeuer he commeth either against soule or body: and that whosoeuer hath once attained the true and liuelie faith, it can neuer be vtterly lost, but he is sure to get the victorie.

not_o all_o the_o branch_n that_o in_o i_o bear_v fruit_n but_o every_o branch_n in_o i_o that_o bear_v fruit_n he_o purge_v that_o it_o may_v bear_v more_o fruit_n so_o that_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o reprobate_n that_o have_v the_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n for_o if_o they_o have_v they_o shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o so_o remain_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o vine_n again_o whosoever_o know_v that_o he_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n he_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o shall_v continue_v in_o the_o vine_n for_o ever_o he_o shall_v never_o perish_v also_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v not_o hunger_n in_o any_o wise_a and_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o thirst_v this_o be_v

that_o not_o any_o one_o of_o the_o reprobate_n ever_o have_v or_o can_v have_v the_o true_a and_o livelie_a faith_n but_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v he_o be_v assure_v of_o life_n eternal_a christ_n teach_v that_o he_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o that_o whosoever_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o yet_o not_o live_v for_o ever_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o livelie_a faith_n which_o as_o the_o hand_n apprehend_v christ_n and_o by_o which_o we_o receive_v he_o and_o his_o benefit_n do_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v for_o let_v any_o man_n show_v a_o reason_n why_o some_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n do_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n &_o other_o some_o have_v the_o same_o lively_a faith_n do_v not_o what_o will_v they_o say_v that_o the_o reprobate_n &_o damn_a so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o ever_o come_v to_o have_v the_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n according_a as_o they_o imagine_v do_v indeed_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n &_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o so_o for_o a_o time_n be_v make_v lively_a member_n of_o christ_n even_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ephes_n 5._o ver_fw-la 31_o if_o they_o do_v not_o eat_v his_o flesh_n &_o drink_v his_o blood_n then_o have_v they_o not_o the_o faith_n remove_v that_o effect_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v remoove_v if_o they_o will_v not_o abhor_v so_o wicked_a a_o speech_n but_o affirm_v indeed_o that_o the_o reprobate_n do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o have_v the_o lively_a faith_n then_o let_v they_o see_v how_o they_o overthrow_v also_o the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n but_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n your_o father_n say_v he_o do_v eat_v mamna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o how_o stand_v his_o argument_n consider_v of_o it_o i_o pray_v you_o your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o yet_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a death_n for_o of_o that_o death_n he_o speak_v see_v they_o also_o which_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n do_v die_v the_o natural_a death_n therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n for_o that_o which_o some_o do_v eat_v of_o and_o yet_o do_v die_v eternal_o be_v not_o by_o any_o mean_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o thus_o stand_v his_o reason_n whosoever_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n if_o they_o shall_v now_o say_v some_o of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o wilderness_n do_v eat_v the_o manna_n and_o yet_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v and_o thereupon_o christ_n do_v affirm_v that_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o then_o add_v their_o own_o say_n which_o be_v this_o some_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o do_v die_v in_o their_o sin_n what_o will_v then_o follow_v if_o this_o reason_n do_v stand_v in_o force_n your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n then_o shall_v not_o this_o also_o follow_v many_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v damn_v therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o as_o do_v affirm_v that_o any_o of_o the_o reprobate_n have_v the_o livelie_a faith_n do_v gainsay_v christ_n and_o overthrow_v the_o force_n of_o his_o argument_n to_o proceed_v what_o can_v be_v more_o firm_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o reprobate_n can_v have_v the_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n then_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n have_v write_v where_o this_o ground_n be_v first_o to_o be_v lay_v that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o have_v the_o true_a justify_n faith_n he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n for_o thus_o the_o apostle_n conjoin_v they_o wherein_o also_o after_o that_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n which_o be_v the_o earnest_n of_o our_o inheritance_n unto_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o purchase_a possession_n unto_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n ephes_n 1._o ver_fw-la 13.14_o be_v there_o any_o so_o absurd_a as_o to_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v a_o lively_a member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o every_o one_o be_v that_o have_v the_o livelie_a justify_n faith_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o that_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n that_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n that_o scale_n and_o that_o pledge_n if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o the_o reprobate_a do_v attain_v unto_o be_v without_o this_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n or_o without_o this_o seal_n or_o pledge_v then_o do_v we_o hold_v with_o they_o and_o then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o reprobate_n be_v not_o the_o true_a justify_n and_o sanctify_v say_v which_o purge_v the_o heart_n act._n 15._o
