A85704	A treatise touching falling from grace. Or Thirteen arguments tending to prove that believers cannot fall from grace, as they were laid down at a conference at Yalding in Kent, examined and answered, with many absurdities of that doctrine shewed. Whereunto is added thirteen reasons to prove that believers may fall totally and finally from grace, and many profitable uses flowing from that doctrine. By John Griffith.

these_o argument_n be_v answer_v and_o the_o absurdity_n of_o that_o doctrine_n show_v it_o remain_v for_o i_o to_o betake_v myself_o to_o my_o proposition_n as_o it_o be_v then_o state_v by_o i_o but_o deny_v by_o the_o other_o at_o our_o conference_n thirteen_o reason_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_o prove_v that_o believer_n in_o christ_n may_v fall_v from_o grace_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o be_v command_v to_o take_v heed_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n be_v true_o believe_v reason_n 1_o man_n and_o yet_o our_o lord_n say_v unto_o they_o take_v heed_n that_o no_o man_n deceive_v you_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o many_o false_a christ_n shall_v come_v in_o his_o name_n say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o shall_v deceive_v many_o therefore_o take_v you_o heed_n that_o no_o man_n deceive_v you_o 21.34_o take_v you_o heed_n watch_n and_o pray_v for_o you_o know_v not_o when_o the_o time_n be_v take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o least_o at_o any_o time_n your_o heart_n he_o overcharge_v with_o surfeit_v and_o drunkenness_n and_o care_n of_o this_o life_n and_o so_o that_o day_n come_v upon_o you_o unaware_o these_o saying_n do_v plain_o teach_v we_o that_o they_o may_v be_v deceive_v by_o false_a christ_n and_o be_v overcome_v by_o suffer_v if_o they_o do_v not_o take_v heed_n unto_o themselves_o or_o else_o needless_a be_v these_o saying_n for_o if_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v and_o so_o fall_v they_o have_v no_o need_n to_o take_v heed_n where_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n there_o need_v no_o caution_n these_o scripture_n with_o many_o other_o of_o like_a import_n may_v be_v cross_v out_o of_o our_o bible_n if_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o fall_v from_o the_o faith_n christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o they_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n 35._o but_o if_o the_o salt_n have_v lose_v its_o savour_n wherewith_o shall_v it_o be_v salt_v it_o be_v thenceforth_o good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o tread_v under_o foot_n of_o man_n now_o be_v it_o not_o a_o absolute_a contradict_n of_o christ_n to_o say_v we_o can_v lose_v our_o favour_n its_o impossible_a we_o shall_v and_o a_o make_n of_o his_o word_n impertinent_a his_o caution_n useless_a again_o the_o apostle_n give_v the_o like_a caution_n to_o the_o church_n 20._o take_v heed_n brethren_n lest_o there_o be_v in_o any_o of_o you_o a_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n in_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n but_o exhort_v one_o another_o daily_a while_n it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n lest_o any_o of_o you_o be_v harden_v through_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o sin_n they_o must_v take_v heed_n or_o else_o there_o may_v be_v in_o they_o a_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n in_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v exhort_v one_o another_o lest_o they_o be_v harden_v etc._n etc._n look_v diligent_o lest_o any_o man_n fail_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n lest_o any_o root_n of_o bitterness_n spring_v up_o and_o trouble_v you_o and_o thereby_o many_o be_v defile_v lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o fornicator_n or_o profane_a person_n as_o esau_n 16._o who_o for_o one_o morsel_n of_o meat_n sell_v his_o birthright_n it_o seem_v saint_n may_v fall_v from_o grace_n and_o become_v profane_a person_n fall_v their_o birthright_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o believer_n in_o christ_n may_v fall_v away_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n reason_n 2_o foretelleth_v that_o many_o shall_v be_v deceive_v and_o draw_v away_o by_o man_n speak_v perverse_a thing_n 24.5_o and_o make_v merchandise_n of_o by_o false_a teacher_n 3.11_o even_o those_o that_o have_v obtain_v like_o precious_a faith_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o unto_o they_o beware_v lest_o also_o you_o be_v lead_v away_o by_o the_o error_n of_o the_o wicked_a fall_v from_o your_o own_o steadfastness_n again_o beware_v lest_o any_o man_n spoil_v you_o through_o philosophy_n and_o vain_a deceit_n after_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n after_o the_o rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o after_o christ_n let_v no_o man_n beguile_v you_o etc._n etc._n and_o again_o behold_v i_o come_v quick_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v let_v no_o man_n take_v thy_o crown_n all_o which_o teach_v we_o that_o believer_n may_v fall_v away_o if_o they_o do_v not_o take_v heed_n beware_v and_o stand_v fast_o etc._n etc._n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v foresee_v that_o some_o shall_v fall_v be_v spoil_v and_o deceive_v through_o their_o not_o take_v heed_n therefore_o believer_n in_o christ_n may_v fall_v away_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o some_o have_v fall_v reason_n 3_o away_o from_o the_o faith_n paul_n exhort_v timothy_n to_o war_v a_o good_a warfare_n hold_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n 17._o which_o some_o have_v put_v away_o concerning_o faith_n have_v make_v shipwreck_n of_o who_o be_v hemeneus_n and_o alexander_n but_o some_o may_v say_v that_o faith_n they_o fall_v from_o be_v not_o a_o true_a faith_n but_o a_o seem_a faith_n i_o answer_v if_o that_o be_v so_o paul_n do_v hemeneus_n and_o alexander_n great_a wrong_n for_o he_o deliver_v they_o to_o satan_n now_o if_o they_o do_v but_o seem_v to_o have_v faith_n but_o have_v no_o true_a faith_n than_o when_o they_o fall_v they_o be_v better_a than_o when_o they_o stand_v because_o when_o they_o stand_v they_o seem_v to_o be_v what_o they_o be_v not_o but_o when_o they_o fall_v they_o appear_v to_o be_v what_o indeed_o they_o be_v now_o if_o paul_n deliver_v they_o to_o satan_n for_o fall_v from_o a_o seem_a faith_n he_o sure_o do_v they_o wrong_n

viz._n they_o be_v deliver_v to_o satan_n for_o deal_v plain_o which_o they_o do_v when_o they_o fall_v but_o be_v dissembler_n when_o they_o stand_v at_o the_o best_a if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o seem_a faith_n which_o be_v none_o and_o how_o they_o can_v make_v shipwreck_n of_o that_o they_o never_o have_v be_v a_o paradox_n to_o i_o again_o it_o be_v a_o true_a faith_n no_o seem_a faith_n because_o that_o which_o they_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o the_o same_o he_o exhort_v timothy_n to_o hold_v hold_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o some_o have_v put_v away_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o the_o same_o faith_n the_o one_o must_v hold_v which_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o it_o be_v a_o true_a faith_n that_o the_o other_o put_v away_o which_o if_o the_o same_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o true_a therefore_o no_o seem_a faith_n again_o they_o that_o fall_v from_o the_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n now_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n to_o say_v they_o do_v depart_v from_o he_o who_o never_o be_v with_o he_o and_o that_o which_o bring_v person_n to_o god_n can_v be_v no_o seem_a faith_n but_o a_o true_a faith_n see_v heb._n 10.22_o therefore_o that_o faith_n that_o be_v fall_v from_o in_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n must_v be_v a_o true_a faith_n again_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v a_o true_a faith_n but_o the_o faith_n which_o hemeneus_n and_o alexander_n make_v shipwreck_n of_o be_v accompany_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n hold_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o some_o have_v put_v away_o viz._n faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n therefore_o that_o faith_n which_o they_o put_v away_o be_v a_o true_a faith_n the_o four_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o be_v command_v reason_n 4_o not_o to_o be_v high_o mind_v but_o to_o fear_v say_v the_o spirit_n because_o of_o unbelief_n they_o be_v break_v off_o and_o thou_o stand_v by_o faith_n be_v not_o high-minded_a but_o fear_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v 11.20.21_o because_o if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o natural_a branch_n take_v heed_n lest_o he_o spare_v not_o thou_o we_o must_v fear_v why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v if_o we_o can_v fall_v what_o need_v we_o take_v heed_n if_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n but_o there_o be_v need_n and_o therefore_o danger_n for_o we_o stand_v by_o faith_n and_o if_o we_o let_v go_v our_o faith_n as_o we_o may_v we_o let_v go_v all_o god_n will_v spare_v we_o no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o natural_a branch_n 4.11_o let_v we_o labour_v therefore_o to_o enter_v into_o that_o rest_n lest_o any_o man_n fall_v after_o the_o same_o example_n of_o unbelief_n therefore_o believer_n in_o christ_n may_v fall_v away_o the_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o spirit_n say_v express_o reason_n 5_o that_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o faith_n 2.3_o give_v heed_n to_o seduce_a spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n speak_v lie_n in_o hypocrisy_n have_v their_o conscience_n fear_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n therefore_o believer_n in_o christ_n may_v fall_v away_o the_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o perseverance_n have_v reason_n 6_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o crown_n as_o a_o condition_n of_o it_o now_o if_o believer_n can_v fall_v perseverance_n can_v be_v a_o condition_n of_o happiness_n 10.17_o because_o that_o which_o be_v a_o condition_n by_o which_o we_o obtain_v the_o thing_n promise_v or_o do_v not_o obtain_v it_o may_v be_v do_v or_o not_o do_v now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o condition_n be_v plain_a in_o scripture_n be_v thou_o faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n to_o he_o that_o overcome_v will_v i_o give_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o hide_a manna_n and_o will_v give_v he_o a_o white_a stone_n and_o in_o the_o stone_n a_o new_a name_n write_v which_o no_o man_n know_v save_v he_o that_o receive_v it_o

again_o further_o it_o be_v a_o condition_n of_o happiness_n as_o these_o place_n prove_v for_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o hold_v the_o beginning_n of_o our_o confidence_n steadfast_a to_o the_o end_n christ_n will_v present_v we_o holy_a unblameable_a and_o unreprovable_a if_o we_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n behold_v say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n therefore_o the_o
