the_o inference_n for_o they_o teach_v as_o we_o hear_v before_o that_o even_o true_a believer_n may_v fall_v so_o foul_a and_o so_o far_o that_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o

faith_n and_o if_o the_o apostle_n scope_n in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o prove_v or_o affirm_v that_o they_o who_o be_v once_o true_a christian_n or_o believer_n always_o continue_v such_o then_o when_o he_o say_v they_o will_v have_v continue_v with_o we_o he_o must_v of_o necessity_n mean_a either_o that_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v faithful_a as_o we_o continue_v faithful_a or_o else_o that_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v always_o in_o our_o society_n or_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n but_o that_o neither_o of_o these_o sense_n be_v of_o any_o tolerable_a consistency_n be_v evident_a by_o the_o light_n of_o this_o consideration_n viz._n that_o the_o apostle_n then_o must_v have_v know_v that_o the_o person_n he_o speak_v of_o and_o who_o go_v out_o from_o they_o neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o have_v be_v true_a christian_n or_o believer_n when_o they_o thus_o go_v from_o they_o now_o if_o he_o have_v this_o knowledge_n of_o they_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v either_o that_o he_o have_v it_o by_o extraordinary_a revelation_n but_o this_o be_v very_o unprobable_a and_o howsoever_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v or_o else_o that_o he_o gain_v or_o

apostle_n concern_v they_o be_v evident_a from_o hence_o because_o it_o may_v very_o easy_o and_o do_v very_o frequent_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o who_o be_v true_a christian_n do_v not_o always_o continue_v in_o that_o christian_a society_n unto_o which_o they_o have_v once_o join_v themselves_o and_o adhere_v no_o nor_o yet_o in_o the_o external_a profession_n of_o christianity_n
