By W. Crashaw Bachelar of Diuinitie, and preacher at the Temple.

to_o be_v a_o excellent_a incitement_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v a_o man_n unto_o holiness_n unless_o he_o purpose_v to_o proclaim_v to_o the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v no_o hope_n in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o may_v here_o learn_v what_o be_v 3._o the_o true_a cause_n of_o a_o christian_n man_v stand_v in_o the_o

we_o even_o in_o god_n it_o be_v the_o stableness_n of_o his_o purpose_n the_o immutability_n of_o his_o election_n the_o truth_n of_o his_o covenant_n the_o infallibility_n of_o his_o word_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o love_n wheresoever_o he_o bestow_v it_o and_o the_o excellency_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n of_o christ_n merit_n in_o who_o we_o be_v love_v and_o elect_v therefore_o say_v the_o 29._o apostle_n the_o gift_n and_o calling_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n and_o who_o he_o love_v he_o love_v unto_o the_o end_n 1._o and_o the_o prophet_n say_v of_o god_n i_o

christ_n tell_v peter_n sathan_n desire_v to_o sist_z they_z as_o wheat_n and_o such_o a_o sister_n be_v he_o as_o who_o can_v stand_v by_o his_o own_o strength_n but_o i_o who_o so_o love_v thou_o

fain_o and_o fail_v in_o that_o temptation_n this_o truth_n may_v fit_o be_v illustrate_v by_o this_o comparison_n a_o strong_a man_n visit_v his_o sick_a friend_n and_o will_n he_o to_o walk_v the_o

faint_v and_o let_v his_o hold_n go_v but_o the_o strong_a man_n hold_v fast_o and_o keep_v he_o from_o fall_v and_o so_o he_o stand_v not_o by_o his_o own_o but_o the_o strong_a man_n strength_n so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n a_o christian_n convert_v have_v hold_v of_o god_n by_o his_o faith_n and_o love_n god_n have_v hold_v of_o he_o by_o his_o eternal_a election_n and_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o by_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v he_o in_o christ_n now_o we_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o obedience_n but_o if_o temptation_n come_v we_o shrink_v and_o fall_v away_o our_o faith_n and_o love_n like_o a_o sick_a man_n strength_n be_v soon_o spend_v but_o then_o though_o we_o let_v go_v the_o hold_v we_o have_v of_o god_n god_n will_v never_o let_v go_v the_o hold_v he_o have_v of_o we_o but_o in_o that_o love_n he_o bear_v we_o he_o still_o uphold_v we_o and_o so_o we_o stand_v not_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n who_o like_o the_o strong_a man_n hold_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o then_o for_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o may_v here_o learn_v first_o that_o the_o romish_a synagogue_n in_o deny_v this_o and_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v fall_v utter_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n do_v no_o wrong_n at_o all_o to_o we_o but_o the_o wrong_n be_v to_o

a_o shelter_n of_o their_o covetous_a and_o carnal_a respect_n we_o will_v give_v passage_n to_o this_o objection_n and_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o first_o we_o free_o confess_v a_o action_n can_v
