A09362	A case of conscience the greatest taht [sic] euer was, how a man may know, whether he be the son of God or no. Resolued by the vvord of God. Whereunto is added a briefe discourse, taken out of Hier. Zanchius.	Perkins, William, 1558-1602.; Zanchi, Girolamo, 1516-1590.	1592 (1592)	STC 19666; ESTC S110395	35,569	79

by_o which_o they_o come_v unto_o it_o and_o we_o believe_v as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v that_o we_o be_v predestinate_a to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v also_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v be_v elect_v to_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n that_o by_o they_o as_o by_o certain_a step_n we_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o so_o far_o must_v we_o be_v from_o neglect_v faith_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o good_a work_n and_o of_o a_o holy_a life_n that_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v rather_o our_o duty_n to_o keep_v faith_n in_o a_o good_a conscience_n &_o to_o be_v conversant_a in_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o they_o and_o because_o we_o can_v neither_o attain_v to_o the_o end_n nor_o the_o mean_n that_o bring_v we_o thereunto_o of_o ourselves_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o crave_v they_o at_o god_n hand_n by_o prayer_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o faith_n and_o a_o care_n to_o do_v good_a work_n and_o increase_v they_o in_o us._n nether_a must_v we_o only_o ask_v they_o but_o also_o certain_o trust_v that_o we_o shall_v obtain_v they_o for_o christ_n his_o cause_n for_o if_o for_o all_o they_o which_o be_v predestinate_v to_o eternal_a life_n god_n have_v prepare_v faith_n by_o which_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o good_a work_n to_o walk_v in_o therefore_o if_o we_o believe_v as_o by_o god_n commandment_n we_o be_v bind_v that_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n elect_v to_o eternal_a glory_n we_o must_v also_o be_v persuade_v that_o before_o we_o depart_v hence_o he_o will_v give_v we_o true_a repentance_n increase_v true_a faith_n inflame_v we_o with_o love_n last_o that_o he_o will_v minister_v unto_o we_o abundant_o all_o thing_n in_o christ_n to_o obtain_v the_o end_n yea_o this_o confidence_n also_o and_o prayer_n it_o be_v one_o effect_n of_o predestination_n by_o which_o we_o get_v the_o rest_n therefore_o this_o doctrine_n we_o must_v hold_v that_o predestination_n to_o eternal_a life_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o mean_n of_o obtain_v it_o but_o rather_o establish_v they_o and_o therefore_o both_o these_o principle_n be_v true_a namely_o that_o the_o elect_v to_o life_n can_v perish_v and_o unless_o a_o man_n believe_v in_o christ_n 3.3_o and_o persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n in_o this_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n he_o shall_v perish_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o predestination_n the_o mean_n and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v so_o join_v together_o that_o the_o one_o can_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o other_o wherefore_o whosoever_o hold_v not_o the_o mean_n unto_o the_o end_n among_o which_o faith_n be_v one_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o be_v never_o predestinate_a and_o therefore_o mu●●_n need_v perish_v as_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o which_o hold_v faith_n must_v needs_o be_v save_v so_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o proposition_n be_v evident_a he_o which_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n have_v eternal_a life_n contrariwise_o he_o which_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o son_n the_o anger_n of_o god_n remain_v upon_o he_o because_o as_o a_o constant_a faith_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o election_n so_o obstinate_a

these_o proceed_v the_o nine_o effect_n of_o predestination_n namely_o a_o perpetual_a repentance_n for_o our_o daily_a slip_n and_o a_o continual_a desire_n to_o be_v better_v in_o godliness_n so_o that_o also_o for_o this_o cause_n chief_o we_o hearty_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n for_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v sin_v no_o more_o

their_o body_n also_o be_v raise_v up_o they_o may_v take_v full_a possession_n of_o eternal_a life_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o those_o which_o be_v elect_v to_o
