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.

to_o prove_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v once_o regenerate_v can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o grace_n because_o god_n do_v presence_n and_o guard_v they_o thus_o with_o his_o
