A15336 A discourse touching the doctrine of doubting In which not onely the principall arguments, that our popish aduersaries vse, for the establishing of that discomfortable opinion, are plainely and truely aunswered: but also sundrie suggestions of Sathan tending to the maintenance of that in the mindes of the faithfull fully satisfied, and that with singuler comfort also. VVritten long since by T.W. and now published for the profit of the people of God. T. W. (Thomas Wilcox), 1549?-1608. 1598 (1598) STC 25621; ESTC S102154 130,155 343

we_o have_v some_o special_a or_o particular_a revelation_n therefore_o we_o be_v uncerten_a and_o by_o consequent_a doubt_n also_o concern_v god_n grace_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n salvation_n etc._n etc._n hereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o we_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n of_o this_o enthymenie_n or_o maim_a syllogism_n and_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n so_o to_o do_v yea_o many_o good_a reason_n indeed_o for_o first_o this_o be_v false_a which_o they_o say_v that_o we_o can_v by_o god_n word_n be_v assure_v of_o predestination_n or_o election_n for_o god_n have_v as_o plain_o and_o plentiful_o propound_v that_o point_n as_o possible_o may_v be_v and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o affirm_v it_o here_o &_o there_o in_o some_o short_a sentence_n but_o by_o large_a deduction_n and_o as_o it_o be_v discourse_n and_o treatise_n make_v of_o purpose_n concern_v it_o as_o may_v appear_v from_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n unto_o the_o roman_n to_o the_o end_n of_o 11._o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n and_o also_o eph._n 1._o and_o sundry_a other_o place_n but_o if_o they_o will_v say_v they_o mean_v it_o of_o person_n elect_v and_o not_o of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o indeed_o so_o their_o exposition_n seem_v to_o lead_v that_o way_n yet_o than_o we_o tell_v they_o also_o that_o be_v false_a and_o faulty_a as_o the_o former_a for_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v able_a not_o only_o right_o to_o judge_v of_o that_o which_o be_v past_o concern_v the_o rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o election_n of_o the_o gentile_n etc._n etc._n but_o also_o both_o probable_o together_o and_o charitable_o to_o judge_v of_o other_o as_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n peter_n do_v of_o the_o stranger_n that_o dwell_v here_o and_o there_o 1._o pet._n 1._o verse_n 2_o yea_o and_o of_o some_o natural_a person_n also_o as_o john_n do_v in_o his_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o elect_a lady_n and_o certain_o also_o to_o determine_v concern_v our_o own_o estate_n that_o way_n whether_o we_o consider_v ourselves_o by_o ourselves_o singular_o or_o as_o we_o be_v join_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n elect_v we_o say_v of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o they_o in_o our_o measure_n touch_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o saint_n john_n say_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o faithful_a in_o that_o behalf_n if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteouse_a and_o he_o be_v the_o reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o concern_v god_n love_v towards_o we_o in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o eternal_a life_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o the_o sound_a member_n of_o the_o church_n say_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o neither_o death_n nor_o life_n nor_o angel_n nor_o principality_n nor_o power_n nor_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v nor_o height_n nor_o depth_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n and_o in_o another_o place_n we_o know_v that_o if_o our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v destroy_v we_o have_v a_o building_n give_v of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n but_o eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n and_o this_o we_o judge_v not_o so_o much_o by_o god_n eternal_a election_n itself_o though_o we_o know_v believe_v &_o persuade_v our_o own_o heart_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n there_o be_v in_o god_n because_o that_o be_v always_o hide_v in_o himself_o even_o as_o we_o may_v say_v in_o the_o bosom_n and_o breast_n of_o his_o everlasting_a free_a knowledge_n though_o by_o many_o good_a mean_n as_o we_o shall_v hear_v anon_o he_o discover_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o but_o by_o certain_a and_o assure_a infallible_a note_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o in_o his_o word_n by_o which_o we_o may_v know_v and_o be_v assure_v for_o ourselves_o and_o according_a to_o truth_n and_o charity_n may_v judge_v of_o other_o and_o that_o without_o any_o special_a revelation_n as_o these_o man_n fantasy_n that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_v as_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o effectual_a call_n through_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o work_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o make_v we_o comfortable_o to_o feel_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o a_o steadfast_a hope_n of_o eternal_a glorification_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o our_o election_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 8._o who_o he_o have_v predestine_v they_o also_o he_o have_v call_v &_o who_o he_o have_v call_v they_o also_o he_o have_v justify_v and_o they_o who_o he_o have_v justify_v they_o he_o have_v also_o glorify_v and_o 2._o timoth._n 1_o god_n have_v save_v we_o and_o call_v we_o with_o a_o holy_a call_n not_o according_a to_o our_o work_n but_o according_a to_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v give_v to_o we_o through_o jese_n christ_n before_o the_o world_n be_v as_o also_o if_o he_o give_v we_o care_n and_o conscience_n of_o well-doing_n it_o pleadge_v the_o same_o grace_n unto_o we_o according_a to_o which_o saint_n peter_n say_v give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o god_n election_n even_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_v unto_o we_o in_o god_n word_n be_v far_o of_o from_o overthrow_v our_o certainty_n &_o hope_n of_o salvation_n that_o look_v upon_o it_o and_o into_o it_o as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o judge_v of_o it_o it_o do_v indeed_o confirm_v and_o establish_v the_o same_o both_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o because_o so_o it_o be_v always_o sure_a and_o certain_a and_o also_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o faint_a heart_n and_o feeble_a hope_n which_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v uphold_v as_o the_o church_n canticl_n 2._o be_v stay_v with_o flagon_n and_o comfort_v with_o appell_n as_o for_o that_o which_o they_o speak_v of_o particular_a and_o special_a revelation_n it_o be_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o ground_n of_o christian_n religion_n for_o god_n have_v in_o these_o latter_a day_n speak_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o absolute_o and_o full_o reveal_v his_o will_n in_o his_o word_n with_o this_o threaten_n that_o whosoever_o add_v thereunto_o upon_o he_o shall_v be_v pour_v forth_o all_o the_o plague_n write_v therein_o he_o have_v teach_v we_o thereby_o to_o cast_v away_o and_o reject_v as_o devilish_a and_o abominable_a all_o such_o conceit_n beside_o that_o it_o strong_o savour_v of_o anabaptistry_n which_o for_o many_o fond_a fantasy_n of_o their_o own_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o only_o pretend_v odd_a revelation_n or_o vision_n but_o yet_o our_o adversary_n urge_v this_o point_n further_o and_o say_v that_o man_n must_v beware_v of_o rash_a enter_v into_o handle_v or_o hear_v of_o that_o same_o reverend_a &_o hide_v mystery_n of_o god_n predestination_n and_o who_o will_v not_o say_v so_o as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n god_n predestination_n must_v not_o be_v rash_o rush_v into_o either_o for_o hear_v or_o handle_v therefore_o man_n must_v doubt_v of_o god_n favour_n that_o way_n &_o every_o other_o way_n beside_o it_o follow_v not_o no_o more_o than_o this_o the_o sacred_a authority_n of_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n must_v not_o be_v esteem_v or_o violate_v as_o a_o light_a thing_n therefore_o subject_n must_v doubt_v whether_o their_o princess_n favour_n or_o affect_v they_o i_o think_v it_o will_v rather_o follow_v there_o be_v in_o god_n such_o high_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v better_o persuade_v of_o his_o might_n goodwill_n favour_n etc._n etc._n as_o in_o prince_n their_o majesty_n authority_n etc._n etc._n shall_v assure_v their_o subject_n of_o love_n care_n and_o all_o for_o their_o defence_n but_o we_o will_v come_v to_o the_o point_n we_o take_v that_o to_o be_v rash_a presumption_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o mystery_n when_o either_o we_o look_v into_o this_o same_o hide_a &_o secret_a council_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o or_o in_o he_o alone_o separate_v from_o those_o testimony_n and_o token_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o discern_v it_o by_o or_o when_o we_o will_v be_v more_o curious_a in_o it_o than_o he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o manifest_v in_o his_o word_n now_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n of_o as_o a_o high_a sin_n &_o the_o infection_n of_o our_o soul_n every_o man_n will_v confess_v because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wise_a above_o measure_n
