A81815	The fulness and freeness of Gods grace in Jesus Christ, declared in two general points: first, that personal election is no ground of the saints perseverance in the grace of God by Jesus Christ. Secondly, in what sense the scriptures speake the saints perseverance in that grace. The third part. / By Francis Duke.; Fulnesse and freenesse of Gods grace in Jesus Christ. Part 3	Duke, Francis.	1656 (1656)	Wing D2503; Thomason E892_9; ESTC R205568	71,363	121

second_o thing_n premise_v be_v this_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o answer_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v god_n merciful_a acceptance_n of_o a_o

his_o endow_v of_o they_o by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o spirit_n with_o inherent_a righteousness_n every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o measure_n as_o of_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o patience_n etc._n etc._n and_o these_o man_n be_v call_v new_a creature_n and_o none_o else_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o quest_n why_o i_o distinguish_v between_o right_a believer_n and_o true_a believer_n i_o answer_v a_o ungodly_a may_v believe_v true_o but_o never_o right_o in_o order_n to_o his_o own_o eternal_a life_n so_o balaam_n believe_v that_o oracle_n true_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n drop_v from_o his_o lip_n but_o not_o right_o first_o because_o his_o mind_n creep_v on_o the_o earth_n or_o earthly_a contentment_n like_o the_o serpent_n which_o god_n curse_v for_o they_o run_v greedy_o after_o the_o error_n of_o balaam_n for_o reward_n second_o because_o he_o leap_v over_o a_o sanctify_a life_n 11._o epist_n judas_n 11._o only_o desire_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a thus_o do_v the_o proud_a and_o covetous_a priest_n pharisee_n and_o scribe_n the_o great_a professor_n of_o those_o time_n true_o believe_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n deliver_v they_o by_o moses_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v right_o for_o if_o so_o they_o will_v have_v embrace_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o never_o embrue_v their_o hand_n in_o his_o blood_n therefore_o i_o distinguish_v between_o right_a believer_n and_o true_a believer_n so_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o point_n the_o saint_n perseverance_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v ground_v upon_o that_o which_o may_v ever_o be_v distinguish_v but_o never_o separate_v in_o this_o business_n that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n spirit_n and_o the_o saint_n exercise_v of_o
