A45835	Vindiciæ veritatis, or, An impartial account of two several disputations the one being on the 12th. and the other on the 26th of February, 1671. between Mr. Danson a non-conformist minister, and Mr. Ives, upon this question, (viz) whether the doctrine of the possibility of some true believers final apostacy, be true, or no? Published to prevent false reports. Together with an appendix; in which the said question is more fully resolved in the affirmative, and the absurd[i]t[i]es of the negative opinion detected from the pens of divers of the patrons of it. By a lover of truth and peace.; Contention for truth	Ives, Jeremiah, fl. 1653-1674.	1672 (1672)	Wing I1106A; ESTC R218068	84,282	219

be_v in_o this_o number_n of_o elect._n so_o that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o some_o true_a believer_n fa●ing_v away_o final_o no_o way_n interfer_n with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

scripture_n about_o this_o matter_n first_o such_o as_o though_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v absolute_a yet_o they_o have_v condition_n employ_v in_o they_o second_o of_o such_o scripture_n as_o promise_v the_o performance_n of_o those_o condition_n the_o first_o sort_n be_v as_o follow_v mat._n 19_o 18._o you_o that_o have_v follow_v i_o in_o the_o regeneration_n or_o in_o the_o resurrection_n shall_v

the_o condition_n employ_v be_v that_o they_o shall_v always_o to_o the_o end_n continue_v in_o his_o service_n and_o therefore_o judas_n fall_v away_o and_o not_o perform_v the_o condition_n never_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o fruition_n of_o the_o promise_n again_o 1_o sam._n 2.30_o i_o say_v indeed_o that_o thy_o house_n &_o the_o house_n of_o thy_o father_n shall_v walk_v beforeme_a for_o

of_o by_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o so_o jer._n 31._o &_o jer._n 32.40_o 41_o there_o we_o read_v of_o a_o covenant_n which_o some_o call_v absolute_a but_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v a_o absolute_a covenant_n in_o their_o sense_n be_v absolute_a nonsense_n in_o which_o god_n promise_v many_o thing_n but_o yet_o he_o tell_v the_o same_o people_n isa_n 55.3_o that_o if_o they_o will_v incline_v their_o ear_n and_o come_v to_o he_o he_o will_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o they_o even_o the_o sure_a mercy_n of_o david_n &_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n promise_n that_o sem_fw-mi absolute_a in_o form_n be_v to_o be_v conditional_o understand_v as_o be_v that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemnation_n

absolute_a than_o this_o must_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o such_o scripture_n that_o if_o man_n have_v once_o true_o believe_v and_o trust_v in_o god_n they_o shall_v inevitable_o be_v save_v let_v they_o hereafter_o trust_v or_o distrust_n believe_v or_o disbelieve_v or_o whether_o they_o be_v not_o or_o whether_o they_o be_v whoremonger_n adulterer_n or_o idolater_n yet_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o abide_v for_o ever_o now_o if_o this_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n than_o these_o promise_n and_o all_o of_o that_o kind_n must_v be_v understand_v conditional_o that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o continue_v in_o believe_v and_o that_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o continue_v in_o so_o do_v upon_o these_o term_n and_o condition_n he_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o abide_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o this_o agree_v all_o these_o plain_a and_o express_v scripture_n which_o be_v well_o consider_v will_v explain_v all_o those_o text_n and_o promise_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v absolute_a as_o to_o

24.13_o he_o that_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v heb._n 10.38_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o if_o he_o draw_v back_o my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o much_o like_o these_o promise_n that_o seem_v absolute_a be_v such_o scripture_n that_o promise_v eternal_a life_n to_o man_n without_o any_o exception_n or_o make_v the_o least_o question_n of_o their_o perseverance_n when_o that_o life_n and_o blessing_n promise_v be_v suspend_v upon_o their_o change_n as_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v not_o see_v death_n and_o he_o that_o drink_v say_v our_o saviour_n of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v this_o plain_o imply_v that_o these_o promise_n suppose_v their_o continuance_n in_o so_o do_v so_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o confess_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o confess_v before_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n &_o whosoever_o shall_v deny_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o deny_v before_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n mat_n 10.32_o 33._o now_o judas_n do_v confess_v christ_n before_o man_n but_o he_o have_v no_o right_a or_o claim_v to_o this_o promise_n because_o he_o do_v not_o persevere_v in_o this_o confession_n in_o like_a manner_n peter_n deny_v christ_n before_o man_n but_o he_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o christ_n before_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n because_o he_o do_v not_o persist_v and_o die_v in_o the_o deny_v of_o he_o but_o yet_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o other_o be_v make_v without_o exception_n and_o wherever_o we_o read_v of_o any_o such_o promise_n a_o possibility_n of_o a_o change_n be_v suppose_v for_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n bath_n everlasting_a life_n and_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemnation_n it_o do_v no_o more_o suppose_v it_o impossible_a for_o that_o man_n to_o fall_v away_o and_o have_v this_o promise_v suspend_v then_o the_o other_o text_n that_o say_v he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v not_o see_v life_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v or_o remain_v upon_o he_o do_v suppose_v it_o impossible_a for_o this_o man_n ever_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o have_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n or_o the_o execution_n of_o vengeance_n suspend_v upon_o his_o believe_v to_o this_o may_v be_v reduce_v all_o scripture_n that_o seem_v to_o promise_v a_o blessing_n or_o threaten_v wrath_n according_a to_o man_n present_a state_n and_o condition_n though_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o may_v be_v suspend_v upon_o their_o change_n and_o that_o a_o impossibility_n of_o a_o change_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v more_o by_o the_o one_o scripture_n that_o promise_v salvation_n to_o the_o believer_n then_o by_o the_o other_o that_o tell_v we_o wrath_n remain_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v usual_o reply_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v promise_n that_o be_v conditional_a yet_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o perform_v those_o condition_n for_o they_o to_o who_o be_v gracious_o make_v such_o promise_n and_o therefore_o it_o
