A45823	A contention for truth: or, an impartial account, of two several disputations The one being on Munday, the 12th. of Feb. And the other on Munday, the 26. of the same month, in the year 1671. Between Mr. Danson of the one party, and Mr. Ives on the other, upon this question (viz) whether the doctrine of some true believers, falling away totally and finally from grace, be true or no? Published to prevent mistakes, and false reports, concerning the said conferences. By a lover of truth and peace.	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1672 (1672)	Wing I1095A; ESTC R222598	83,987	220

you_o believe_v the_o pharisee_n say_v true_a of_o himself_o and_o do_v you_o believe_v they_o be_v all_o so_o mr._n danson_n the_o scripture_n itself_o say_v so_o mr._n ives_n christ_n himself_o

what_o they_o do_v as_o to_o those_o act_n they_o do_v with_o such_o cunning_a that_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v visible_a to_o the_o world_n for_o we_o can_v suppose_v that_o christ_n will_v affirm_v

notwithstanding_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o himself_o that_o he_o live_v in_o all_o good_a conscience_n show_v how_o this_o be_v consistent_a with_o hypocrisy_n mr._n danson_n if_o a_o man_n appear_v to_o
