A29125	A compendious answer to a book called A brief survay of the judgement of Mr. John Goodvvin, and the Church of God walking with him, touching their reasons of dissenting from many of their brethren, in these imprtant heads of doctrine; 1. Election and reprobation. 2. The death of Christ. 3. The grace of God in and about conversion. 4. The liberty or power of the will, or of the creature man. 5. The perseverance of the saints. VVherein the absurdities of all their dissenting doctrines are clearly exhibited, by a loving friend to the truth it self, Ellis Bradshaw.

peremptory_a decree_n to_o save_v some_o and_o to_o damn_v other_o and_o you_o judge_v it_o a_o senseless_a part_n in_o god_n as_o in_o a_o father_n to_o give_v his_o child_n complete_a assurance_n and_o after_o threaten_v to_o disinherit_v they_o in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n as_o if_o you_o have_v quite_o forget_v that_o it_o have_v so_o please_v he_o as_o by_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v to_o save_v they_o that_o believe_v and_o who_o he_o predestinate_v to_o the_o end_n he_o also_o predestinate_v to_o the_o mean_n and_o those_o who_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n yet_o he_o rebuke_v and_o chasten_v they_o and_o threaten_v they_o also_o if_o they_o be_v not_o obedient_a yea_o and_o desert_v they_o also_o &_o hide_v his_o

know_v that_o after_o a_o full_a assurance_n in_o time_n of_o desertion_n man_n may_v stand_v in_o doubt_n it_o be_v so_o with_o david_n and_o many_o other_o many_o ebbing_n and_o flow_n in_o respect_n of_o strength_n and_o weakness_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v find_v in_o all_o by_o ordinary_a experience_n but_o to_o proceed_v you_o in_o your_o judgement_n have_v already_o judge_v it_o a_o very_a senseless_a part_n in_o a_o father_n to_o give_v a_o child_n a_o complete_a assurance_n under_o hand_n and_o seal_v and_o particular_a the_o 3d._n you_o account_v of_o a_o enemy_n unto_o godliness_n and_o that_o the_o result_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v man_n remiss_a loose_a and_o indifferent_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n have_v already_o judge_v it_o a_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o more_o zealous_a and_o cordial_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o give_v knowledge_n of_o salvation_n to_o his_o people_n by_o the_o remission_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o fear_n have_v torment_n in_o it_o you_o know_v and_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o yet_o perfect_a in_o love_n arg._n but_o we_o ought_v to_o endeavour_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o love_n and_o be_v bid_v also_o fear_v not_o little_a flock_n etc._n etc._n conseq_fw-la therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n &_o through_o his_o love_n to_o his_o people_n he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o attain_v perfection_n both_o in_o faith_n and_o love_n see_v 1_o john_n 5.10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o yea_o even_o such_o degree_n whereby_o they_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n and_o whereby_o their_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a and_o therefore_o he_o bid_v they_o ask_v and_o they_o shall_v receive_v it_o and_o the_o apostle_n john_n write_v unto_o they_o purposely_o that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o show_v they_o by_o what_o sign_n they_o may_v certain_o know_v it_o to_o wit_n by_o their_o faith_n and_o love_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n say_v he_o have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o conseq_fw-la therefore_o it_o follow_v he_o that_o thus_o believe_v can_v never_o perish_v for_o who_o can_v pluck_v they_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n who_o be_v great_a than_o all_o and_o who_o can_v terminate_v a_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o that_o know_v he_o believe_v on_o the_o bless_a name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o love_v god_n and_o love_v his_o brethren_n for_o their_o likeness_n unto_o god_n may_v certain_o know_v that_o he_o have_v already_o this_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o perish_v and_o by_o how_o much_o strong_a confidence_n any_o man_n attain_v and_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o shall_v his_o love_n abound_v and_o so_o by_o consequence_n his_o zeal_n in_o religion_n and_o cordiallness_n in_o service_n will_v be_v the_o great_a and_o whereas_o you_o say_v who_o will_v strain_v and_o toil_v himself_o in_o run_v for_o such_o a_o prize_n which_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v as_o certain_o obtain_v by_o go_v a_o easy_a soft_a and_o ordinary_a pace_n i_o answer_v you_o speak_v in_o this_o as_o though_o all_o god_n elect_v be_v at_o the_o first_o assure_v and_o have_v no_o need_n to_o strive_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n or_o to_o make_v their_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a and_o as_o though_o it_o be_v all_o one_o what_o degree_n and_o measure_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n we_o attain_v unto_o and_o whether_o we_o be_v rich_a or_o poor_a both_o in_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n as_o though_o degree_n of_o grace_n and_o measure_n and_o multiplicity_n of_o good_a work_n and_o suffering_n etc._n etc._n shall_v not_o add_v unto_o we_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o immortal_a glory_n whereas_o i_o know_v you_o know_v it_o and_o will_v acknowledge_v there_o shall_v be_v great_a inequality_n of_o reward_n both_o to_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_n though_o nothing_o contradictious_a to_o justice_n or_o equality_n in_o respect_n of_o desert_n but_o suitable_a to_o their_o work_n according_a to_o their_o work_n whether_o better_a or_o worse_o yea_o more_o or_o few_o as_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v to_o see_v you_o propose_v this_o as_o a_o argument_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o that_o run_v in_o a_o race_n run_v all_o but_o one_o receive_v the_o prize_n all_o god_n elect_n may_v be_v say_v to_o run_v but_o not_o all_o alike_o for_o celerity_n and_o attainment_n some_o of_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o some_o of_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o in_o respect_n of_o attainment_n to_o degree_n and_o measure_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n which_o be_v essential_o in_o christ_n jesus_n now_o for_o answer_v to_o your_o second_o particular_a reason_n page_n 3._o the_o which_o i_o overskipped_n to_o answer_v the_o first_o and_o three_o both_o at_o once_o be_v one_o in_o substance_n i_o only_o answer_v thus_o much_o brief_o that_o they_o be_v very_a child_n in_o understanding_n that_o can_v refel_v this_o argument_n to_o wit_n that_o because_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n have_v so_o adjudge_v some_o particular_a person_n to_o eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n as_o so_o you_o know_v we_o affirm_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v and_o not_o peculiar_o without_o he_o and_o his_o suffering_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o yet_o you_o infer_v that_o such_o a_o election_n be_v extreme_o injurious_a to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o utter_o dissolve_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o which_o can_v be_v resent_v from_o such_o know_a man_n but_o as_o purposely_o intend_v to_o deceive_v the_o simple_a you_o know_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o understand_a man_n to_o be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o too_o well_o fortify_v to_o be_v deceive_v with_o such_o inconsequent_a assertion_n for_o it_o be_v but_o thus_o much_o in_o effect_n to_o wit_n because_o in_o the_o prescienceor_n foreknowledge_n and_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o christ_n to_o be_v save_v eternal_o through_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n ergo_fw-la such_o ad_fw-la election_n be_v extreme_o injurious_a to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o utter_o dissolve_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o how_o extreme_o injurious_a unto_o rationality_n this_o argument_n be_v i_o leave_v to_o all_o yea_o even_o child_n of_o ten_o year_n of_o age_n to_o judge_v the_o reof_o 4._o i_o come_v now_o to_o answer_v your_o four_o argument_n where_o you_o bold_o affirm_v that_o such_o a_o notion_n of_o election_n lay_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o very_a dust_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v your_o argument_n be_v a_o mere_a non_fw-la sequitur_fw-la for_o it_o be_v all_o but_o thus_o much_o to_o wit_n arg._n because_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o determine_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o save_v those_o that_o believe_v through_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o through_o christ_n etc._n etc._n ergo_fw-la the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n or_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o attend_v thereupon_o be_v in_o vain_a and_o needless_a for_o the_o elect_n shall_v as_o certain_o be_v save_v etc._n etc._n if_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o you_o have_v forget_v i_o suppose_v how_o paul_n be_v inhibit_v to_o go_v unto_o such_o a_o place_n because_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n but_o be_v
