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

scripture_n no_o where_o command_v the_o not_o do_v nor_o caution_n we_o to_o fear_v the_o do_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v for_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o term_n true_a believer_n the_o impossibility_n as_o to_o some_o person_n that_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o you_o be_v too_o late_o for_o that_o and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o you_o be_v because_o you_o shall_v have_v distinguish_v at_o the_o prosyllogism_n for_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v my_o major_a proposition_n and_o this_o be_v a_o distinguish_n on_o the_o syllogism_n before_o that_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o bring_v it_o now_o the_o major_a prosyllogism_n be_v this_o whatsoever_o sin_n any_o be_v command_v not_o to_o do_v or_o caution_v to_o fear_v the_o do_v of_o it_o be_v general_n and_o categorical_a they_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v but_o fall_v away_o total_o and_o final_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o

to_o visible_a believer_n in_o general_a that_o they_o shall_v take_v heed_n of_o fall_v away_o do_v suppose_v the_o possibility_n of_o it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o true_a

true_a believer_n upon_o the_o supposition_n of_o the_o divine_a decree_n and_o christ_n promise_n to_o preserve_v and_o uphold_v the_o grace_n of_o true_a believer_n mr._n ives_n this_o be_v just_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v the_o whole_a earth_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v overflow_v with_o water_n in_o respect_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o decree_n of_o

can_v so_o fall_v away_o now_o if_o they_o ought_v to_o believe_v they_o can_v fall_v away_o final_o than_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a for_o they_o either_o to_o fear_v they_o can_v so_o fall_v or_o to_o be_v command_v or_o caution_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o if_o god_n have_v decree_v it_o shall_v never_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o such_o as_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n may_v fall_v away_o therefore_o true_a believer_n may_v this_o i_o prove_v by_o this_o reason_n because_o some_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o it_o be_v
