Lord will Keep the City whether the Watchman waketh yea or no He that setteth the watch and is Captain of the guard over us he saith Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation and we can promise our selves safety no longer then we are upon our duty 1 Joh. 5. 18. He that is begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one toucheth him not That is the effect or event of his duty if he be careful to observe it But though Christ hath freed us from the dominion of the enemy yet if we do voluntarily render our selves up again to his power his servants we are to whom we obey Rom. 6. 14 16. ●r if we quit our guard and suffer our selves to be surprised through our wilfull carelesnesse we are involved in a like thraldome for of whom a man is overcom of the same is he brought in bondage 2 Pet. 2. 19. Mr. Indefectible Sir The Apostle hath taught us to distinguish betwixt a sin unto death and a sinne not unto death 1 Ioh. 5. We confesse the Regenerate may fall into sin but not into sinne unto death Though he fall he shall not utterly be cast down for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand Psal 37. 24. Dr. Dubius For that place of the Psalmist the context doth cleer the meaning to be of falling not into sin but into affliction and misery Yet I do not deny but God out of his abundant mercy is ready in a way agreeable to his wisdom and justice to assist such as fall into sin in order to their rising again But I am in some doubt whether the regenerate may not sin a sin unto death and that as well if you consider the event as the demerit of his sin For the Moderate and those not inferiour Vid. Synops pur theo disp 31. thes 38. Synod Dordra c. 5. Art 4. 5. in learning to the more rigid of the Synod of Dort do acknowledge that the regenerate may not onely fall from certain degrees of grace and intermit the Acts of grace but likewise that they may fall into such sins as leave them under a damnable guilt so that they have need of an actual renuall of repentance and a new absolution that they lose their present aptnesse to enter into the Kingdom of heaven into which no unclean thing shall enter And that David and Solomon fell thus farr will be evident if you consider the nature of their sinnes and apply these following Scriptures to them 1 Cor. 6. 9 10. Gal. 5. 21. Apoc. 21. 7 8. 1 Ioh. 3. 15. Now let us consider whether it be not possible for a man that is fall'n into this estate and condition to be cut off in his sins before his repentance be renewed and his new absolution received to remove his guilt and restore him to an aptitude and a present actuall capacity to enter into the kingdom of heaven If it be possible for him to be cut off in this condition then it will follow that either he shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven at all or else there must be some purgatory after this life for him to passe thorow to clense and fit him for heaven which Protestants will not admit of But if we say it is not possible for such a man to be cut off in his sin then it must follow 1. That he hath a lease of his life granted till his restauration which will be a hard matter to make appear and 2 that God is bound by some Covenant or promise to afford him as well grace as time to repent and this will be as hard to evidence as the former for I presume 't is not to be denied that there is required a greater measure of grace to raise up such a sinner being fall'n then to keep him while he stood from falling Now if God's Covenant and promise did not binde him to give that less measure of grace to keep him actually from falling how can we perswade our selves that he is bound by it to conferr that greater measure of grace whereby he shall actually arise Mr. Indefectible The Apostle tell 's the Philippians he is confident of this very thing that he which hath begun a good work in them will perform or finish it untill the day of Iesus Christ Phil. 1. 6. Dr. Dubius I need not say the Apostle's perswasion is not alwayes an infallible argument of Gods purpose Act. 16. 6 7. for he had a perswasion of charitie as well as of faith Heb. 6 9. and that his perswasion touching the Philippians was of this nature appeares by the verse following that which is alleaged But I say God doth as well carry on as begin the work of grace in mans heart in such a way as doth not evacuate but establish the necessity of mans duty and therefore he backs that his confidence with a vehement exhortation Chap. 2. 12 13. As ye have alwayes obeyed work out your own salvation with fear and with trembling for it is God that worketh in you to will and to do of his good pleasure And we may observe in the Epistle to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia Where God makes a promise to preserve him in a time of triall then at hand though that promise was something of the nature of a reward being made to him upon a consideration of his former fidelity yet he subjoynes an obligation of duty Apoc. 3. 8. Thou hast a little strength and hast kept my Word and hast not denied my Name Verse 10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth But to shew that his own care and constancy was requisite in order to the accomplishment of that promise he add's Vers 11. Behold I come quickly hold that fast which thou hast that no man take thy Crown Notwithstanding God's Promise if we grow carelesse we may forseit our reward and incurr damnation as is clearly threatned Ezek. 18. 24. But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousnesse and committeth iniquity and doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doth shall he live all his righteousnesse that he hath done shall not be mentioned in his trespass that he hath trespassed and in his sin that he hath sinned in them shall he die Mr. Indefectible How can this consist with God's Covenant and promise Ier. 32. 40. I will make an everlasting Covenant with them that I will not turn away from them to do them good but I will put my feare in their hearts that they shall not depart from me Dr. Dubius That God doth not engage himself in that place to conferre upon his people an irresistible power of grace infallibly to effect the gift of perseverance in them will be manifest if we consider that the Covenant there mentioned concern'd the people of the Iewes and conteined the

and foreseeing that Adam would wilfully transgress the same and thereby make himself and his posterity lyable to condemnation though God was notwithstanding mercifully affected towards man yet out of respect to his justice and truth would not give way to his mercy to save man till his justice should be satisfied and his serious hatred of sin and love of righteousness be made known Proofes out of Scripture After his own Image Gen. 1. 26 27.
