such_o as_o be_v true_o bear_v of_o god_n shall_v commit_v sin_n of_o such_o quality_n that_o be_v devilish_a and_o persist_v in_o they_o therefore_o he_o add_v say_v all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o

wit_v and_o with_o understanding_n they_o do_v not_o the_o contrary_a the_o three_o that_o if_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o admit_v such_o sin_n as_o waste_v the_o conscience_n much_o less_o therefore_o do_v they_o persevere_v therein_o the_o four_o that_o yet_o oftentimes_o through_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n they_o do_v admit_v something_n which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o so_o do_v sin_n and_o they_o speak_v of_o actual_a sin_n the_o selfsame_o thing_n they_o do_v signify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o act_v sin_n therefore_o although_o the_o saint_n do_v often_o sin_v even_o actual_o and_o with_o some_o consent_n by_o frailty_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o be_v fell_a david_n and_o peter_n who_o do_v sin_n of_o infirmity_n as_o we_o have_v before_o prove_v even_o by_o luther_n testimony_n yet_o upon_o they_o never_o fall_v the_o ●eigning_a sin_n which_o proper_o be_v call_v by_o the_o protestant_n sin_n against_o the_o conscience_n and_o waste_v the_o conscience_n and_o this_o doctrine_n they_o comfirme_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o chief_o by_o this_o syllogism_n take_v from_o saint_n john_n he_o that_o true_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n be_v

persevere_v in_o their_o sin_n yet_o that_o they_o do_v not_o loose_a faith_n whereas_o i_o do_v always_o teach_v the_o contrary_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o such_o as_o commit_v such_o

of_o the_o saint_n be_v justify_v and_o regenerate_v do_v persevere_v in_o their_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n and_o perish_v in_o they_o for_o a_o certain_a divine_a do_v affirm_v and_o endevore_v to_o

be_v a_o concordance_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n how_o can_v it_o be_v everlasting_a if_o he_o fall_v into_o eternal_a destruction_n how_o likewise_o shall_v that_o

he_o have_v justify_v if_o that_o the_o justify_v can_v outragiouslie_o continue_v in_o sin_n unto_o the_o last_o breath_n of_o their_o life_n and_o run_v headlong_o into_o eternal_a destruction_n again_o if_o sin_n reign_v can_v befall_v the_o saint_n as_o be_v before_o manife-fested_n how_o can_v they_o persevere_v therein_o therefore_o the_o protestant_n in_o their_o disputation_n at_o
