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.

that_o be_v elect_v as_o you_o do_v than_o the_o proposition_n be_v false_a and_o be_v not_o warrant_v by_o the_o text_n for_o he_o that_o be_v elect_v to_o salvation_n can_v never_o become_v a_o

he_o shall_v live_v and_o die_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o 8._o that_o when_o ever_o his_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernakle_n be_v dissolve_v he_o shall_v have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o high_a heaven_n he_o be_v confident_a of_o his_o salvation_n and_o this_o his_o confidence_n make_v he_o 23_o willing_a to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n he_o 12._o know_v who_o he_o have_v believe_v and_o that_o he_o will_v sure_o keep_v that_o which_o he_o have_v commit_v to_o he_o against_o

or_o such_o a_o reprobate_a as_o you_o int_v and_o so_o the_o antecedent_n be_v untrue_a in_o the_o sense_n that_o you_o propound_v it_o if_o then_o you_o will_v take_v a_o reprobate_n and_o a_o

so_o much_o as_o once_o to_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o this_o prayer_n and_o intercession_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o keep_v his_o true_a and_o faithful_a member_n from_o a_o final_a but_o likewise_o from_o a_o total_a fall_n from_o grace_n so_o that_o this_o argument_n remain_v still_o
