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.

seven_o these_o word_n here_o mention_v be_v but_o exhortation_n and_o preseruative_n to_o keep_v man_n from_o fall_v from_o god_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o necessary_o imply_v that_o man_n may_v

either_o in_o express_a word_n or_o by_o way_n of_o necessary_a sound_a and_o inevitable_a consequence_n confute_v this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o

grace_n and_o inward_a not_o according_a to_o their_o sin_n and_o outward_a man_n and_o therefore_o god_n take_v they_o away_o in_o the_o very_a act_n not_o in_o the_o habit_n and_o the_o trade_n of_o sin_n he_o will_v estimate_v and_o reward_v they_o according_a to_o their_o grace_n and_o their_o inward_a man_n according_a to_o the_o inward_a purpose_n bend_v and_o clination_n of_o their_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o constant_a course_n and_o practice_v of_o their_o life_n and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o particular_a and_o private_a act_n of_o sin_n in_o which_o they_o die_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o perish_v everlasting_o for_o this_o act_n of_o sin_n but_o they_o be_v certain_o receive_v unto_o life_n everlasting_a six_o the_o thief_n which_o never_o do_v repent_v in_o all_o his_o life_n before_o be_v save_v on_o the_o cross_n even_o at_o the_o last_o gasp_n and_o period_n of_o his_o life_n therefore_o that_o god_n and_o saviour_n who_o be_v so_o merciful_a to_o save_v a_o sinner_n that_o never_o be_v a_o saint_n at_o the_o very_a last_o gasp_n will_v always_o be_v so_o gracious_a so_o love_v and_o compassionate_a as_o to_o save_v a_o sinner_n at_o the_o last_o which_o be_v a_o saint_n a_o friend_n a_o brother_n and_o a_o best_a belove_a unto_o he_o before_o last_o to_o shut_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o admit_v that_o a_o actual_a and_o

commit_v by_o they_o yet_o than_o i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n do_v take_v away_o any_o of_o his_o saint_n in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o sin_n he_o do_v in_o that_o very_a instance_n which_o he_o take_v they_o in_o give_v they_o such_o a_o actual_a &_o particular_a repentance_n as_o shall_v save_v their_o soul_n for_o he_o have_v praedestinate_v they_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o therefore_o have_v predestinate_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n he_o do_v likewise_o predestine_v they_o unto_o the_o mean_n for_o to_o obtain_v it_o wherefore_o as_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o end_n so_o likewise_o be_v it_o impossible_a to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o be_v annex_v inseparable_o unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o put_v the_o worst_a you_o can_v imagine_v yet_o we_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o god_n do_v always_o give_v his_o saint_n this_o actual_a repentance_n even_o in_o the_o very_a point_n and_o instant_n when_o he_o

notwithstanding_o all_o those_o sin_n they_o do_v commit_v notwithstanding_o their_o lie_v in_o sin_n for_o a_o time_n or_o their_o die_n in_o sin_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o act_n not_o in_o the_o

the_o state_n of_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o main_a and_o principal_a argument_n this_o be_v the_o very_a knot_n and_o hinge_n of_o the_o question_n and_o therefore_o pardon_v i_o good_a reader_n though_o i_o have_v be_v so_o prolix_a and_o tedious_a in_o my_o answer_n to_o it_o the_o twenty_o five_o argument_n or_o objection_n that_o be_v make_v against_o i_o be_v that_o a_o true_a

may_v sever_v a_o saint_n of_o god_n from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n for_o a_o time_n to_o humble_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v he_o more_o circumspect_a in_o his_o carriage_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v yet_o it_o never_o do_v dissect_v or_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o christ_n nay_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o sever_v and_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n for_o than_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v assail_v or_o admit_v into_o the_o visible_a church_n again_o unless_o he_o be_v rebaptise_v and_o during_o the_o time_n of_o this_o his_o excommunication_n he_o shall_v be_v no_o better_o and_o no_o more_o a_o christian_n than_o a_o turk_n or_o heathen_a man_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v admit_v and_o therefore_o this_o excommunication_n if_o you_o take_v it_o in_o the_o true_a and_o primative_a use_n of_o it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v now_o common_o abuse_v and_o make_v a_o common_a
