A09362	A case of conscience the greatest taht [sic] euer was, how a man may know, whether he be the son of God or no. Resolued by the vvord of God. Whereunto is added a briefe discourse, taken out of Hier. Zanchius.	Perkins, William, 1558-1602.; Zanchi, Girolamo, 1516-1590.	1592 (1592)	STC 19666; ESTC S110395	35,569	79

not by water only but by water and blood becaus Christ worketh both iustification sanctification together it is that spirit a mans owne conscience inwardly purified that beareth witnes for that spirit is trueth that is that the testimonie of the spirit of adoption certifying vs that we ar the sons of God is true 7. For that I may speak it more plainly there ar three vvhich beare record in heauen the father the vvord the Son and the holy Ghost and these three are one namly in testimonie 8. And there are three which beare record in earth the Spirit and the vvater and blood and these three agree in one Ch. How shew you that these witnesses be autenticall and to be beleeued Ioh. 9. If vve receiue the vvitnes of men the witnes of God is greater for this is the witnes of God vz. that was said to come from heuen vvhich he testified of his son Again 10. he that beleeueth in that sonne of God hath the vvitnes in himselfe the peace of conscience which he may feel in himself And further he that beleueth not God maketh him a lyer because he beleeued not the recorde that God vvitnessed of his sonne Ch. What is the effecte of that which these witnesses testifie Ioh. 11. And this is that record to wit that God hath giuen vnto vs eternall life this life is in his son 12. He which hath the son hath life he which hath not the son of god hath not life And to conclude 13. These things haue I written vnto you that beleeue in the name of the son of God that ye may know that yee haue life eternal that ye may beleeue vz. increase in faith in the name of that sonne of God Ch. How can we haue life eternal now that are so miserable and so ful of wants Ioh. 14. And this is that assurance that wee haue in him that if we ask any thing according to his will he heareth vs. Ch. How may we know that God granteth our praiers made acording to his wil Ioh. 15. If vve know that he heareth that is as it were to giue an eare to our praiers vvhatsoeuer vve ask we knowe that vvee haue the petitions vvhich vvee haue desired of him though the things that we asked be not giuen vs in that measure maner and time in which we asked them Ch. Let vs heare an example of those things which God wil grant wheÌ„ we pray Io. 16. If a man see his brother sin a sin that is not vnto death that is which may be pardoned let him ask pardon in his behalfe and he shal giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death there is a sinne vnto death after which necessarilie damnation followeth as the sinne against the holy Ghost I say not that thou shouldest pray for it Ch. But is not euery sinne a sinne to death Ioh. 17. All vnrighteousnes is sinne and therefore deserueth death but there is a sinne not vnto death namely that which is pardoned in Christ. Ch. We feare least wee haue committed this sinne which is vnto death Ioh. 18. Wee know that vvhosoeuer is borne of God sinneth not but he that is begotten of god kepeth himselfe and that vvicked one Sathan toucheth him not vz. doth him no violeÌ„ce or he cannot giue him a deadly wound 19. We know that vve are of God and this whol vvorld lyeth in euill that is in seruitude vnder Sathan and sinne Ch. How shew you that we ar of God Ioh. 20. Wee know that the Sonne of God is come and hath giuen vs a minde to knowe him that is true vve are in him that is true that is in his sonne Iesus Christ this same is that very God and that eternall life Ch. Howe may wee keepe our selfe in God and neuer commit the sin to death Ioh. 21. Litle Children keepe your selues from images whether they be of false Gods or of the true God PSALME 15.

Zanchius VVHEREIN THE FOREsaid case of Conscience is disputed and resolued ASSERTION I. Onely the elect and all of them not onely trulie may bee but also are in that time vvhich God hath appointed them in this life indeede assured of their Election to eternall life in Christ and this is done not one vvay but many vvaies WEe say that the elect alone may be and indeed are made sure of their Election that so we may exclude the reprobat hipocrites for considering they are not elected they canne neuer be truelie perswaded that they are elected I say truely because it may come to passe that many in their own thinking shall be predestinate yet in trueth they are not perswaded so for they are deceaued Wee haue an example in temporarie Christians who thinke of themselues that they beleeue in Christ but truelie do not beleeue for their Faith is in hypocrisie and for a time onely Wherefore a true certaine perswasion of Election can neuer befall any of the reprobates because the true perswasion of Heauenly matters commeth of the holy Ghost which neuer perswadeth any false matter Wherefore how can Reprobates bee perswaded that they are elected This considered it is not amisse that wee attribute this perswasion of which wee nowe speake to the elect alone We ad further that al the elect not onely may be but are indeed made sure of their Election Which must be demonstratiuelie confirmed against schoole-men other our aduersaries We say this is done in the time appointed because the Elect before they be called to Christ are neuer sure of their election nay they neuer think of it as appeareth in Paul before hee was called and in others Againe in like maner after they haue bene called yet not presently are made sure of their election but some sooner some latter Lastly we ad that this is

The other concerneth God himselfe which chuseth namly the glory of God that is that the glory of his grace may be known and eternally made manifest of which is mention made Ephes. 1. Both of them are so coupled together that whosoeuer are praeelected to the first are also predestinat to the latter and the latter followeth of the former For the more wee shall be made partakers of the grace of God the heauenly glory so much also more and more shall the glory of God be made manifest in vs. But because the end which concerneth God is almost all one in the reprobatioÌ„ of the wicked and in the predestination of the Saints namely that as by the saluation of these which procedeth of his meere goodnes the glory of his grace is made manifest so also by the iust damnation of the other the glory of his diuine iustice may be made knowen to al Neuerthelesse considering that the end to which the elect shall attaine is farre diuers from that for it is eternall life vnto which the reprobates are appointed for that is eternall death therefore the end of which we treate in this assertion is our eternall glorification and euerlasting life in Heauen Let vs nowe see in the second place what are those meanes by which the elect are brought vnto this end and therefore to which meanes we hold that al are predestinate whosoeuer are predestinate to the end And they are of two sortes some of them are soe necessarie vnto all that without them no man simplie can attaine vnto eternall life and glorie and they are Christs as he is mediator and high Priest and his obedieÌ„ce and iustice for without Christ no man can be saued also our effectual calling to Christ by the holy ghost and that which followeth this is our iustification yea and our regeneration to For these foure predestination vocation iustification and glorification are so linked together that it is not possible to seuer the one from the other And therfore no man can be glorified which is not iustified and no man can be iustified which is not effectually called as also no man can be effectually called which is not predestinate therfore without these not so much as children and infants can bee brought to this end of eternal glorie And therfore euen al the elect infants are inwardly in a certain peculier maner by the holy ghost called and iustified and glorified Nowe there are some certaine meanes annexed vnto these albeit they haue no place in infants by reason of their age yet they belong to all other elect howsoeuer they are found in som more plenteous and liuely and in other some more sleÌ„der and weak As namely a liuely faith the hearing of the word a detestation of sinne the loue of righteousnes patience in aduersitie a care to do good workes and such like all which the Apostle comprehendeth vnder the name of good workes when he saith that vve are created that is borne a new in Christ vnto good vvorks vvhich God hath prepared that vve might vvalk in them that is that we might lead our liues in them and so walking at length might come to eternall life for without theÌ„ we cannot come to eternall glory but by them God traileth vs thyther Therefore we say that all which are elect to that end are also predestinate to the same meanes For predestination is not onely of the end but also of the means which concern the end and all as well the end as the meanes are the effectes of predestination And therefore it is very true which Augustine saith Predestination saith he is a preparation to the graces of God by which they indeed ar freed whosoeuer ar freed Therefore the first gift of God that we may briefly consider the effectes of predestination prepared for all the elect without which they can in no wise come to the end and therefore the first effect of predestination is our Lord Iesus vvith his obedience merites death resurrection glorie namely in that respect he is made Mediator betweene God the father and vs and the head of al the elect And therfore in as much as he is such a one he is also the cause of all other graces and benefits which come vnto vs by the free predestination of God For the effectes of predestination are so ordered among themselues that the first which go before are the causes efficient or if wee will so speake the materiall causes of the latter and those that follow Therefore seeing Christ is the first effect of predestination he is also the cause of all other effectes by whome wee are made partakers of them The Apostle therfore doth very well to the Ephesians In the first place saith he We are elected in Christ namely as in the head to be his members Secondly he writeth that we ar predestinat to adoption by Christ namely to obtaine it for wee are adopted into the sonnes of God in Christ the first begotten sonne of God and by making vs partakers of his Sonneship we are really made the sonnes of God yea and we are also indewed with his spirit too that wee might be borne anew Thirdly he saith wee are made acceptable and beloued vnto the Father his beloued sonne namly Christ. Fourrhly that wee haue our redemption in the same Christ by his bloud and haue obtained remission of sinnes and all wisdome and vnderstanding Fiftly that in the same Christ all thinges are reconciled as wel in Heauen as in earth In a worde the Apostle sheweth there as also else were that whatsoeuer benefites we do or shall hereafter obtaine counting from our eternall election euen vnto our glorification all those we nowe do and shall obtaine hereafter in Christ and by Christ. Therefore whosoeuer are elected to eternall life besides this that they are elected in Christ they are also predestinate to Christ that is to haue fellowship with him that they may by him enioy all other benefites The second benefit of God and effect of our predestination is our effectual calling to Christ and to his Gospell in which the elect are onelie called Because it is by the purpose and grace of God which is giuen vs in Christ And an effectuall calling is knowen by the effects two of which proceede directly from it a harty kinde of hearing the word and the conceauing of it with a very greate constant and continuall delight and a true and sure beliefe of the worde of the Gospell Thence it is that Christ saith who is of God saith he namely by election and effectuall calling heareth the word of God very willingly and from his heart and that coÌ„tinually but ye heare not because yee are not of God And this calling is wrought not onely by the preaching of the word as it is in al that be of yeeres but also and that chieflie with the inwarde inspiration of the holy Ghost whiles that the Father draweth them by his spirit
