A10194	The perpetuitie of a regenerate mans estate VVherein it is manifestly proued by sundry arguments, reasons and authorities. That such as are once truly regenerated and ingrafted into Christ by a liuely faith, can neither finally nor totally fall from grace. It is also proued, that this hath beene the receiued and resolued doctrine, of all the ancient fathers, of all the Protestant churches and writers beyond the seas, and of the Church of England. All the principall arguments that are, or may be obiected against it, either from Scripture, or from reason, are here likewise cleared and answered. By William Prynne Gent: Lincolniensis.

the_o righteous_a never_o fall_v from_o grace_n yet_o god_n have_v his_o end_n because_o his_o law_n and_o justice_n be_v declare_v by_o this_o place_n last_o this_o commination_n be_v make_v general_o to_o all_o as_o well_o to_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n as_o to_o any_o other_o now_o you_o yourselves_o do_v grant_v that_o those_o who_o god_n himself_o have_v elect_v to_o salvation_n ex_fw-la praevisa_fw-la fide_fw-la can_v never_o fall_v from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o this_o commination_n be_v make_v to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o other_o can_v never_o imply_v a_o fall_n from_o grace_n for_o than_o it_o shall_v imply_v that_o the_o elect_v of_o god_n shall_v fall_v from_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o other_o which_o be_v impossible_a by_o your_o own_o confession_n and_o thus_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o first_o objection_n other_o answer_n there_o be_v which_o be_v give_v to_o this_o place_n as_o first_o that_o this_o righteous_a man_n and_o righteousness_n here_o mention_v be_v only_o mean_v of_o hypocrite_n who_o have_v only_o a_o outward_a show_n of_o righteousness_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o not_o of_o man_n that_o be_v true_o righteous_a nor_o of_o true_a righteousness_n nor_o of_o such_o a_z were_z habitual_o righteous_a but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v actual_o righteous_a have_v only_o the_o act_n of_o righteousness_n but_o not_o the_o habit_n other_o answer_n that_o those_o which_o be_v here_o mean_v be_v such_o as_o be_v true_o righteous_a but_o yet_o the_o depart_n from_o righteousness_n here_o mention_v be_v only_o intend_v of_o the_o act_n but_o not_o of_o the_o habit_n of_o righteousness_n and_o grace_n and_o that_o by_o death_n in_o this_o place_n be_v only_o mean_v a_o temporal_a death_n but_o not_o a_o eternal_a which_o temporal_a death_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v common_a to_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a and_o be_v inflict_v upon_o righteous_a man_n oft_o time_n as_o a_o punishment_n for_o some_o sin_n of_o they_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o josiah_n and_o hezechiah_n 2_o chron_n 35_o 22._o and_o isaiah_n 38_o 1._o but_o never_o the_o eternal_a death_n but_o these_o answer_n be_v less_o probable_a and_o come_v not_o so_o home_o as_o the_o other_o do_v wherefore_o i_o will_v pass_v they_o over_o and_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o argument_n the_o second_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o i_o be_v take_v from_o that_o of_o paul_n 1_o cor_fw-la 9_o 27._o i_o keep_v under_o

be_v frame_v paul_n who_o be_v a_o true_a regenerate_a man_n may_v become_v a_o reprobate_n or_o cast_v away_o therefore_o such_o as_o be_v true_o regenerate_v may_v fall_v from_o grace_n for_o answer_v to_o answ._n this_o argument_n i_o shall_v first_o of_o all_o deny_v the_o anticedent_n for_o if_o you_o take_v a_o reprobate_n or_o castaway_n in_o this_o place_n as_o opposite_a to_o one_o that_o be_v elect_v as_o you_o do_v than_o the_o proposition_n be_v false_a and_o be_v not_o warrant_v by_o the_o text_n for_o he_o that_o be_v elect_v to_o salvation_n can_v never_o become_v a_o reprobate_n in_o this_o sense_n because_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o lord_n abide_v sure_a and_o his_o purpose_n according_a to_o election_n shall_v stand_v fast_o for_o ever_o 2_o tim_n 2_o 19_o and_o rom._n 9_o 11._o now_o that_o paul_n do_v not_o fear_v to_o become_v a_o reprobate_n in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o these_o ensue_a reason_n first_o because_o that_o paul_n be_v always_o sure_a and_o certain_a of_o his_o salvation_n end_n he_o be_v always_o full_o persuade_v that_o neither_o tribulation_n distress_n persecution_n famine_n nakedness_n peril_n nor_o sword_n that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n nor_o angel_n nor_o principality_n nor_o power_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v nor_o height_n nor_o depth_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n his_o lord_n he_o be_v always_o sure_a 8._o that_o whether_o he_o shall_v live_v or_o die_v he_o shall_v live_v and_o die_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o 8._o that_o when_o ever_o his_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernakle_n be_v dissolve_v he_o shall_v have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o high_a heaven_n he_o be_v confident_a of_o his_o salvation_n and_o this_o his_o confidence_n make_v he_o 23_o willing_a to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n he_o 12._o know_v who_o he_o have_v believe_v and_o that_o he_o will_v sure_o keep_v that_o which_o he_o have_v commit_v to_o he_o against_o that_o day_n whence_o he_o do_v bold_o avouch_v this_o of_o himself_o 18._o the_o lord_n shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o every_o evil_a work_n and_o will_v preserve_v i_o to_o his_o beavenly_a kingdom_n and_o therefore_o a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n he_o triumph_v over_o hell_n and_o death_n in_o this_o comfortable_a confident_a and_o triumphant_a speech_n 8._o i_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v finish_v my_o course_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o faith_n henceforth_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o i_o a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n which_o god_n the_o righous_a judge_n shall_v give_v i_o at_o that_o day_n paul_n therefore_o can_v never_o fear_v that_o ever_o he_o shall_v become_v such_o a_o reprobate_n and_o castaway_n as_o you_o intend_v because_o he_o be_v so_o sure_a and_o so_o absolute_o confidenr_v of_o his_o salvation_n second_o paul_n be_v sure_a that_o he_o can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o become_v a_o reprobate_n in_o your_o sense_n because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v praedestinate_v and_o elect_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o but_o be_v justify_v sanctify_a &_o glorify_v for_o ever_o with_o god_n in_o heaven_n paul_n know_v very_o well_o that_o none_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n can_v perish_v and_o he_o also_o know_v that_o himself_o be_v elect_v to_o salvation_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o act_n 9_o 15._o rome_n 1_n 1._o cap._n 8_o 30_o 33_o 35._o cap._n 9_o 11._o cap._n 11._o 7._o 2_o cor._n 1_o 21._o cap._n 5._o 1._o to_o 10._o gal._n 1._o 1._o ephes._n 1._o 3_o 4_o 5._o 2_o tim_n 1._o 13_o 14_o 16._o 2_o tim._n 1._o 2_o 12._o and_o tit._n 1._o 1._o therefore_o he_o can_v never_o fear_v to_o become_v such_o a_o reprobate_n as_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o cast_v for_o ever_o into_o hell_n or_o such_o a_o reprobate_a as_o you_o int_v and_o so_o the_o antecedent_n be_v untrue_a in_o the_o sense_n that_o you_o propound_v it_o if_o then_o you_o will_v take_v a_o reprobate_n and_o a_o castaway_n for_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v blame_v worthy_a such_o a_o one_o as_o deserve_v reproose_n which_o be_v the_o genuine_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o place_n than_o it_o make_v nothing_o for_o your_o purpose_n for_o i_o grant_v that_o a_o regenerate_a man_n may_v deserve_v reproof_n and_o blame_n for_o some_o miscarriage_n or_o sin_n which_o he_o do_v commit_v but_o yet_o if_o follow_v not_o thereupon_o that_o therefore_o he_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n paul_n he_o do_v endeavour_n to_o live_v according_a to_o his_o doctrine_n lest_o his_o auditor_n shall_v have_v just_a cause_n for_o to_o reprove_v he_o if_o he_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o practice_n which_o may_v cross_v this_o doctrine_n for_o which_o he_o shall_v deserve_v reproof_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o therefore_o he_o may_v fall_v away_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n wherefore_o if_o you_o take_v a_o reprobate_n or_o castaway_n in_o the_o strictersense_n for_o one_o that_o be_v bind_v over_o to_o eternal_a condemnation_n then_o your_o anticedent_n be_v false_a if_o in_o a_o more_o mild_a and_o large_a sense_n for_o one_o that_o deserve_v reproof_n than_o the_o anticedent_n be_v true_a but_o the_o argument_n be_v false_a and_o follow_v not_o second_o admit_v that_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n do_v use_v this_o word_n reprobate_a or_o castaway_n in_o the_o strict_a sense_n for_o one_o that_o be_v utter_o forsake_v of_o god_n and_o bind_v over_o to_o eternal_a condemnation_n then_o the_o argument_n follow_v not_o for_o paul_n meaning_n than_o be_v
