god_n do_v not_o effectual_o aid_v man_n will_n to_o be_v convert_v before_o the_o will_n of_o man_n move_v and_o determinate_a itself_o for_o the_o ancient_a church_n condemn_v this_o doctrine_n in_o

of_o infirmity_n and_o that_o the_o best_a work_n of_o the_o saint_n have_v their_o blemish_n which_o continual_o furnish_v they_o with_o matter_n of_o humble_v themselves_o before_o god_n of_o have_v

of_o sin_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n those_o which_o be_v convert_v can_v not_o persist_v in_o this_o grace_n if_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o their_o

now_o albeit_o this_o power_n of_o god_n fortify_v and_o conserve_n the_o true_o faithful_a in_o his_o grace_n be_v too_o great_a to_o be_v overcome_v of_o the_o flesh_n yet_o they_o that_o be_v

which_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o not_o only_o may_v be_v carry_v away_o of_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o of_o satan_n into_o sin_n yea_o grievous_a and_o fearful_a fin_n but_o some_o time_n they_o be_v so_o carry_v away_o by_o the_o just_a permission_n of_o god_n as_o the_o doleful_a fall_v of_o david_n peter_n and_o other_o holy_a person_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n do_v sufficient_o prove_v v._o meanwhile_o by_o such_o sin_n they_o grievous_o offend_v god_n make_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o death_n grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n interrupt_v the_o course_n of_o the_o

earnest_a repentance_n they_o return_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n vi_o for_o god_n who_o be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n according_a to_o the_o unchangeable_a purpose_n of_o election_n withdraw_v not_o utter_o the_o holy_a spirit_n from_o those_o that_o be_v he_o no_o not_o in_o their_o grievous_a fall_n nor_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v so_o far_o as_o to_o loose_v the_o grace_n of_o

it_o be_v not_o lose_v or_o whole_o reject_v then_o he_o renew_v they_o true_o and_o effectual_o by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o repent_v and_o be_v grieve_v at_o heart_n and_o according_a to_o god_n for_o their_o sin_n that_o with_o a_o contrite_a and_o break_a heart_n they_o desire_v and_o obtain_v remission_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o mediator_n by_o say_v that_o they_o feel_v again_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n reconcile_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o adore_v his_o mercy_n and_o faithfulness_n that_o for_o the_o future_a they_o more_o careful_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a viii_o so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o by_o their_o merit_n nor_o strength_n but_o by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n that_o they_o do_v not_o whole_o loose_a faith_n and_o grace_n nor_o continue_v and_o perish_v final_o in_o their_o fall_n which_o not_o only_o might_n easy_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o will_v also_o doubtless_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n it_o can_v possible_o be_v forasmuch_o as_o his_o counsel_n can_v change_v nor_o his_o promise_n fail_v nor_o the_o call_n according_a to_o purpose_n be_v revoke_v nor_o the_o merit_n intercession_n and_o preservation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v annul_v nor_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v make_v vain_a or_o abolish_v ix_o touch_v this_o preservation_n of_o the_o elect_a unto_o salvation_n &_o the_o perseverance_n of_o the_o true_o faithful_a in_o faith_n the_o faithful_a themselves_o may_v be_v and_o be_v assure_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n whereby_o they_o believe_v for_o most_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v and_o ever_o shall_v continue_v true_a &_o lively_a member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o they_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a x._o and_o therefore_o this_o certainty_n grow_v not_o from_o any_o particular_a revelation_n over_o and_o above_o &_o beside_o the_o word_n but_o proceed_v from_o faith_n in_o god_n promise_n which_o he_o have_v most_o abundant_o reveal_v in_o his_o word_n for_o our_o consolation_n &_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o bear_v witness_n with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n &_o heir_n rom._n 8.16.17_o final_o from_o a_o earnest_n and_o holy_a study_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o of_o good_a work_n and_o if_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v destitute_a in_o the_o present_a world_n of_o this_o solid_a consolation_n that_o they_o shall_v obtain_v the_o victory_n and_o of_o this_o infallible_a earnest_n of_o eternal_a glory_n they_o be_v then_o of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a xi_o mean_o while_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o the_o faithful_a during_o this_o life_n be_v to_o fight_v against_o divers_a doubt_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o then_o when_o they_o be_v afflict_v with_o grievous_a temptation_n they_o do_v not_o always_o feel_v in_o themselves_o this_o full_a consolation_n of_o faith_n and_o this_o certainty_n of_o perseverance_n but_o god_n the_o father_n of_o all_o consolation_n suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v tempt_v beyond_o their_o strength_n but_o with_o the_o temptation_n give_v such_o a_o issue_n that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v it_o 1._o cor._n 10.13_o and_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n do_v again_o awaken_v in_o they_o the_o certainty_n of_o perseverance_n xii_o now_o so_o far_o be_v it_o that_o this_o certainty_n of_o perseverance_n shall_v make_v the_o true_o faithful_a proud_a and_o plunge_v they_o into_o carnal_a security_n that_o rather_o it_o be_v the_o true_a root_n of_o humility_n of_o filial_a reverence_n of_o true_a piety_n of_o patience_n in_o all_o conflict_n &_o combat_n of_o ardent_a prayer_n of_o constancy_n under_o the_o cross_n and_o in_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o last_o of_o solid_a joy_n in_o god_n so_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o benefit_n be_v to_o they_o a_o spur_n to_o incite_v they_o unto_o a_o serious_a and_o continual_a exercise_n of_o thankfulness_n and_o good_a work_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o saint_n xiii_o also_o when_o the_o assurance_n of_o perseverance_n begin_v to_o revive_v in_o they_o that_o be_v raise_v from_o some_o
