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

from_o the_o alone_a goodness_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o manner_n the_o devil_n will_v never_o persuade_v any_o last_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o holy_a

therefore_o that_o thou_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n &_o predestinate_a to_o eternal_a life_n this_o be_v the_o first_o prop_n by_o which_o we_o must_v underset_v that_o weak_a belief_n we_o have_v of_o our_o certain_a election_n to_o eternal_a life_n again_o hold_v this_o without_o waver_a whosoever_o thou_o be_v that_o be_v tempt_v to_o doubt_v of_o thy_o election_n even_o as_o nothing_o be_v require_v at_o our_o hand_n to_o work_v our_o election_n for_o god_n choose_v we_o of_o his_o only_o mere_a goodness_n so_o that_o we_o may_v true_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v elect_v or_o not_o this_o one_o thing_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a namely_o if_o we_o shall_v attain_v to_o the_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o this_o that_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o partaker_n of_o he_o for_o he_o that_o be_v now_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n &_o be_v justify_v it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o he_o be_v elect_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v in_o christ_n faith_n be_v both_o require_v and_o be_v sufficient_a not_o perfect_a faith_n but_o true_a faith_n though_o it_o be_v so_o little_a that_o it_o be_v like_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n and_o feeble_a like_o a_o young_a bear_v babe_n and_o that_o sore_o disease_a to_o now_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v a_o livelie_a and_o a_o true_a faith_n last_v always_o as_o have_v be_v before_o declare_v neither_o can_v it_o at_o any_o time_n altogether_o fail_v and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o which_o once_o have_v be_v true_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n remain_v

be_v true_a no_o doubt_n that_o look_v how_o much_o the_o faith_n be_v more_o perfect_a so_o much_o the_o great_a power_n it_o have_v to_o knit_v we_o more_o to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v always_o endeavour_n to_o increase_v in_o faith_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a one_o little_a spark_n of_o true_a faith_n be_v sufficient_a to_o engraft_v we_o into_o christ._n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o must_v in_o no_o wise_a doubt_n of_o our_o engraft_v into_o christ_n and_o of_o our_o election_n to_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o small_a and_o slender_a fruit_n it_o bring_v out_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o certain_o know_v say_v you_o whether_o my_o faith_n be_v a_o true_a &_o lively_a faith_n or_o not_o not_o out_o of_o the_o same_o ground_n from_o whence_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o adoption_n be_v perceive_v first_o of_o all_o if_o you_o shall_v true_o feel_v that_o you_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n

the_o contrary_a be_v carry_v away_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o serve_v for_o the_o advance_v of_o his_o glory_n and_o therefore_o that_o you_o love_v all_o those_o which_o desire_n and_o seek_v the_o same_o as_o the_o brethren_n &_o friend_n of_o christ._n for_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n which_o can_v never_o be_v sever_v from_o true_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o true_a faith_n therefore_o as_o long_o as_o thou_o feel_v these_o effect_n in_o thyself_o albeit_o very_o slender_a and_o great_o languish_v yet_o assure_v thyself_o thou_o be_v endue_v with_o true_a faith_n although_o it_o be_v weak_a and_o therefore_o thou_o be_v in_o christ_n yea_o and_o in_o christ_n elect_v to_o wherefore_o thou_o must_v not_o doubt_v of_o thy_o salvation_n and_o election_n by_o reason_n of_o thy_o daily_a slip_n proceed_v from_o thy_o weakness_n of_o faith_n no_o not_o for_o heinous_a crime_n like_v as_o neither_o david_n for_o his_o adultery_n and_o murder_n nor_o peter_n for_o his_o threefold_a denial_n do_v despair_v of_o their_o election_n which_o appear_v in_o that_o be_v plunge_v in_o the_o very_a gulf_n of_o their_o temptation_n they_o hold_v fast_o their_o faith_n as_o a_o anchor_n and_o call_v upon_o god_n this_o be_v the_o second_o prop_n last_o in_o no_o wise_a we_o must_v forget_v namely_o that_o our_o election_n be_v certain_a and_o immutable_a and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v do_v without_o respect_n of_o any_o work_n of_o we_o so_o in_o like_a sort_n it_o can_v never_o be_v change_v by_o any_o of_o our_o evil_a desert_n for_o as_o it_o be_v first_o procee_v from_o the_o only_a free_a purpose_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v ground_v thereon_o true_a it_o be_v we_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o we_o by_o our_o sin_n and_o neither_o will_n god_n let_v they_o escape_v unpunished_a but_o he_o chastise_v we_o by_o diverse_a both_o inward_a &_o outward_a scourge_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o david_n above_o all_o other_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v his_o good_a pleasure_n that_o for_o his_o goodness_n sake_n and_o truth_n for_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o purpose_n shall_v remain_v sure_a and_o our_o election_n so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o give_v we_o repentance_n anew_o to_o raise_v we_o up_o &_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o favour_n therefore_o although_o for_o the_o present_a thou_o feel_v thyself_o to_o be_v of_o weak_a faith_n and_o to_o have_v fall_v to_o diverse_a sin_n yet_o whereas_o heretofore_o thou_o have_v have_v many_o and_o evident_a testimony_n of_o thy_o election_n as_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o testimony_n take_v from_o faith_n &_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n at_o this_o present_a assure_o thou_o can_v not_o doubt_v of_o thy_o election_n for_o thy_o sin_n commit_v but_o thou_o shall_v much_o derogate_v from_o this_o free_a election_n and_o also_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o thy_o election_n heretofore_o enjoy_v yea_o &_o those_o which_o yet_o thou_o enjoy_v for_o if_o thy_o sin_n displease_v thou_o &_o thou_o desire_v to_o live_v without_o blame_n only_o for_o that_o thy_o sin_n displease_v thou_o why_o now_o thou_o have_v a_o new_a testimony_n of_o thy_o election_n for_o such_o repentance_n as_o this_o be_v be_v only_o proper_a unto_o the_o elect_a therefore_o by_o these_o three_o prop_n we_o must_v uphold_v our_o faith_n as_o touch_v every_a one_o particular_a election_n and_o thus_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o certainty_n with_o the_o which_o

the_o end_n they_o be_v also_o predestinate_a to_o the_o mean_n without_o which_o they_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o end_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o elect_n necessary_o at_o length_n do_v come_v unto_o the_o end_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o certainty_n of_o their_o election_n so_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o same_o certainty_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v trace_v

and_o glory_n in_o heaven_n of_o which_o be_v speak_v rom._n 8._o

the_o other_o concern_v god_n himself_o which_o choose_v nam_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v be_v know_v and_o eternal_o make_v manifest_a of_o

shall_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v make_v manifest_a in_o us._n but_o because_o the_o end_n which_o concern_v god_n be_v almost_o all_o one_o in_o the_o reprobation_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o in_o the_o predestination_n of_o the_o saint_n namely_o that_o as_o by_o the_o salvation_n of_o these_o which_o procee_v of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v make_v manifest_a

the_o elect_n shall_v attain_v be_v far_o diverse_a from_o that_o for_o it_o be_v eternal_a life_n unto_o which_o the_o reprobate_n be_v appoint_v for_o that_o be_v eternal_a death_n therefore_o the_o end_n of_o which_o we_o treat_v in_o this_o assertion_n be_v our_o eternal_a glorification_n and_o everlasting_a life_n in_o heaven_n let_v we_o now_o see_v in_o the_o second_o place_n what_o be_v those_o mean_n be_v by_o which_o the_o elect_a be_v bring_v unto_o this_o end_n and_o therefore_o to_o which_o mean_v we_o hold_v that_o all_o be_v predestinate_a whosoever_o be_v predestinate_a to_o the_o end_n and_o they_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n some_o of_o they_o be_v so_o necessary_a unto_o all_o that_o without_o they_o no_o man_n simple_o can_v attain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o glory_n and_o they_o be_v christ_n as_o he_o be_v mediator_n and_o high_a priest_n and_o his_o obedience_n and_o justice_n for_o without_o christ_n no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v also_o our_o effectual_a call_n to_o christ_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v this_o be_v our_o justification_n yea_o and_o our_o regeneration_n to_o for_o these_o four_o predestination_n vocation_n justification_n and_o glorification_n be_v so_o link_v together_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o sever_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v be_v glorify_v which_o be_v not_o justify_v and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v which_o be_v not_o effectual_o call_v as_o also_o no_o man_n can_v be_v effectual_o call_v which_o be_v not_o predestinate_a therefore_o without_o these_o not_o so_o much_o as_o child_n and_o infant_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o this_o end_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o therefore_o even_o all_o the_o elect_a infant_n be_v inward_o in_o a_o certain_a peculiar_a manner_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v and_o justify_v and_o glorify_v now_o there_o be_v some_o certain_a mean_n annex_v unto_o these_o albeit_o they_o have_v no_o place_n in_o infant_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n yet_o they_o belong_v to_o all_o other_o elect_v howsoever_o they_o be_v find_v in_o some_o more_o plenteous_a and_o lively_a and_o in_o other_o some_o more_o slender_a and_o weak_a as_o namely_o a_o lively_a faith_n the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n a_o detestation_n of_o sin_n the_o love_n of_o righteousness_n patience_n in_o adversity_n a_o care_n to_o do_v good_a work_n and_o such_o like_a all_o which_o the_o apostle_n comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o good_a work_n when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v create_v that_o be_v bear_v a_o new_a in_o christ_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v 2.20_o that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o they_o that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v lead_v our_o life_n in_o they_o and_o so_o walk_v at_o length_n may_v come_v to_o eternal_a life_n for_o without_o they_o we_o can_v come_v to_o eternal_a glory_n but_o by_o they_o god_n trail_v we_o thither_o therefore_o we_o say_v that_o all_o which_o be_v elect_v to_o that_o end_n be_v also_o predestinate_a to_o the_o same_o mean_n for_o predestination_n be_v not_o only_o of_o the_o end_n but_o also_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o concern_v the_o end_n and_o all_o as_o well_o the_o end_n as_o the_o mean_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o predestination_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o true_a which_o augustine_n say_v predestination_n say_v he_o be_v a_o preparation_n to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o which_o they_o indeed_o be_v free_v whosoever_o be_v free_v therefore_o the_o first_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v brief_o consider_v the_o effect_n of_o predestination_n prepare_v for_o all_o the_o elect_a christ._n without_o which_o they_o can_v in_o no_o wise_a come_v to_o the_o end_n and_o therefore_o the_o first_o effect_n of_o predestination_n be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n with_o his_o obedience_n merit_n death_n resurrection_n glory_n namely_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o be_v make_v mediator_n between_o god_n the_o father_n and_o we_o and_o the_o head_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o he_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o other_o grace_n and_o benefit_n which_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o free_a predestination_n of_o god_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o predestination_n be_v so_o order_v among_o themselves_o that_o

do_v very_o well_o to_o the_o ephesian_n in_o the_o first_o place_n etc._n say_v he_o we_o be_v elect_v in_o christ_n namely_o as_o in_o the_o head_n to_o be_v his_o member_n second_o he_o write_v that_o we_o be_v predestinat_a to_o adoption_n by_o christ_n namely_o to_o obtain_v it_o for_o we_o be_v adopt_v into_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o first_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n

eternal_a life_n beside_o this_o that_o they_o be_v elect_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v also_o predestinate_a to_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o that_o they_o may_v by_o he_o
