A29125	A compendious answer to a book called A brief survay of the judgement of Mr. John Goodvvin, and the Church of God walking with him, touching their reasons of dissenting from many of their brethren, in these imprtant heads of doctrine; 1. Election and reprobation. 2. The death of Christ. 3. The grace of God in and about conversion. 4. The liberty or power of the will, or of the creature man. 5. The perseverance of the saints. VVherein the absurdities of all their dissenting doctrines are clearly exhibited, by a loving friend to the truth it self, Ellis Bradshaw.

of_o mankind_n upon_o any_o term_n but_o that_o in_o case_n he_o live_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n he_o may_v very_o possible_o perish_v notwithstanding_o any_o such_o decree_n ob._n 1._o in_o which_o expression_n i_o first_o observe_v that_o your_o end_n be_v contradictious_a to_o the_o apostle_n drift_n rea._n for_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n expression_n tend_v for_o encouragement_n of_o all_o that_o have_v make_v their_o election_n sure_a and_o be_v ascertain_v of_o it_o to_o be_v exceed_o confident_a that_o nothing_o can_v separate_v they_o from_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n verse_n 35.39_o and_o that_o see_v god_n be_v for_o they_o none_o can_v be_v against_o they_o bring_v in_o a_o strong_a argument_n to_o back_v his_o assertion_n to_o wit_n he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o

argument_n lie_v thus_o to_o wit_n if_o god_n spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o for_o we_o all_o that_o be_v god_n elect_v verse_n 32._o how_o shall_v he_o not_o with_o he_o also_o free_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n imply_v a_o impossibility_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v with_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n needful_a both_o for_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o make_v all_o

consolation_n and_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n and_o without_o waver_v as_o he._n 10.22_o 23_o and_o c._n 6.18_o whereas_o the_o very_a end_n of_o your_o assertion_n tend_v to_o no_o other_o but_o to_o put_v if_o possible_a even_a god_n very_o elect_a and_o such_o who_o know_v they_o be_v so_o into_o doubt_n and_o fear_n who_o ought_v not_o to_o cast_v away_o their_o strong_a confidence_n which_o have_v great_a recompense_n of_o reward_n see_v heb._n 10.35_o for_o in_o so_o do_v they_o cast_v away_o even_o their_o spiritual_a life_n for_o the_o just_a live_v by_o faith_n as_o verse_n 38._o obj._n 2._o second_o i_o observe_v your_o judgement_n be_v contradictious_a to_o the_o apostle_n judgement_n rea._n for_o the_o apostle_n be_v persuade_v that_o neither_o height_n nor_o depth_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n rom._n 8.38_o 39_o we_o i_o say_v if_o we_o be_v his_o elect._n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v persuade_v that_o if_o god_n be_v for_o we_o none_o can_v be_v against_o we_o nor_o pluck_v we_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n nor_o lay_v anything_o to_o our_o

he_o also_o have_v predestinate_a to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n and_o who_o he_o have_v predestine_v they_o he_o also_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justifi_v and_o who_o he_o justifi_v they_o he_o also_o glorifi_v as_o v._o 28_o 29_o 30._o and_o the_o apostle_n be_v of_o opinion_n and_o do_v affirm_v heb._n 6.17.18_o that_o god_n will_v more_o abundant_o to_o show_v unto_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n the_o immutabilitie_n of_o his_o counsel_n confirm_v it_o by_o a_o oath_n that_o so_o they_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n but_o you_o hold_v and_o teach_v that_o notwithstanding_o any_o such_o decree_n or_o immutable_a counsel_n or_o foreknowledge_n or_o predestination_n or_o election_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o they_o come_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n they_o may_v possible_o perish_v which_o to_o i_o seem_v very_o strange_a now_o you_o put_v in_o a_o ingredient_n so_o quite_o contradictory_n to_o what_o you_o assent_v to_o before_o that_o i_o hope_v your_o own_o assenting_n when_o you_o see_v they_o unveil_v will_v clear_o convince_v you_o that_o your_o own_o dissenting_n be_v not_o only_o contradictious_a to_o your_o own_o assenting_n but_o to_o the_o truth_n itself_o rea._n for_o you_o hold_v and_o teach_v that_o god_n have_v not_o decree_v from_o eternity_n to_o elect_v any_o person_n of_o mankind_n upon_o any_o term_n but_o that_o in_o case_n he_o live_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n he_o may_v very_o possible_o perish_v 1._o wherein_o first_o you_o affirm_v as_o much_o as_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o decree_v from_o eternity_n to_o elect_v christ_n himself_o upon_o any_o term_n but_o in_o case_n he_o live_v as_o that_o he_o do_v to_o year_n of_o discretion_n he_o may_v possible_o have_v perish_v the_o which_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o affirm_v and_o therefore_o thus_o far_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v conviction_n 2._o second_o in_o that_o your_o general_a term_n do_v exclude_v all_o and_o every_o person_n of_o mankind_n as_o that_o in_o your_o apprehension_n notwithstanding_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n to_o have_v some_o elect_v and_o that_o a_o certain_a number_n as_o that_o you_o acknowledge_v and_o that_o he_o have_v unchangable_o decree_v what_o that_o number_n shall_v be_v yet_o you_o affirm_v as_o much_o as_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o all_o god_n elect_v may_v very_o possible_o perish_v notwithstanding_o god_n decree_n to_o save_v some_o thus_o far_o i_o hope_v also_o you_o will_v deny_v even_o you_o own_o assertion_n now_o in_o regard_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o election_n of_o christ_n stand_v sure_a and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o possible_o perish_v i_o shall_v assume_v a_o little_a further_o that_o you_o will_v also_o grant_v that_o such_o who_o be_v elect_v in_o time_n by_o the_o same_o hand_n that_o elect_v christ_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n from_o the_o loin_n of_o the_o virgin_n such_o i_o say_v who_o god_n elect_v from_o the_o very_a loin_n of_o their_o natural_a parent_n by_o mean_n of_o propagation_n as_o he_o do_v christ_n you_o can_v for_o shame_n deny_v but_o their_o

yea_o jew_n by_o nature_n be_v child_n of_o wrath_n as_o well_o as_o other_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o all_o by_o nature_n be_v in_o their_o childhood_n and_o minority_n alike_o sinful_a alike_o wrathful_a or_o alike_o unclean_a but_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o sometime_o of_o man_n likewise_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n though_o i_o must_v confess_v if_o any_o ask_v i_o who_o make_v thou_o to_o differ_v and_o what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v i_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n himself_o have_v do_v it_o but_o this_o i_o affirm_v and_o can_v

and_o as_o moses_n have_v testify_v the_o efficient_a cause_n be_v not_o in_o god_n but_o tell_v we_o plain_o they_o have_v corrupt_v themselves_o their_o spot_n be_v not_o the_o spot_n of_o his_o
