A10194	The perpetuitie of a regenerate mans estate VVherein it is manifestly proued by sundry arguments, reasons and authorities. That such as are once truly regenerated and ingrafted into Christ by a liuely faith, can neither finally nor totally fall from grace. It is also proued, that this hath beene the receiued and resolued doctrine, of all the ancient fathers, of all the Protestant churches and writers beyond the seas, and of the Church of England. All the principall arguments that are, or may be obiected against it, either from Scripture, or from reason, are here likewise cleared and answered. By William Prynne Gent: Lincolniensis.

affirm_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o that_o these_o word_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n do_v not_o warrant_v it_o and_o last_o if_o all_o

but_o admit_v that_o this_o be_v the_o receive_a opinion_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o all_o infant_n be_v by_o their_o very_a baptism_n true_o regenerate_v and_o

be_v true_o regenerate_v may_v both_o total_o and_o final_o fall_v from_o grace_n which_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a or_o else_o you_o must_v of_o necessity_n grant_v that_o none_o who_o be_v baptize_v fall_v from_o grace_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o your_o own_o assertion_n or_o else_o you_o must_v needs_o grant_v that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v baptize_v be_v not_o regenerate_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o for_o which_o you_o do_v so_o much_o contend_v so_o that_o turn_n which_o way_n you_o will_v you_o be_v but_o in_o a_o maze_n and_o labyrinth_n and_o fetter_v in_o the_o begin_v of_o your_o own_o argument_n again_o i_o will_v but_o demand_v this_o question_n of_o master_n montague_n whether_o this_o be_v a_o article_n of_o his_o creed●…_n that_o all_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v be_v true_o regenerate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o of_o christ_n everlasting_a kingdom_n as_o you_o say_v our_o common_a prayer_n book_n affirm_v if_o you_o believe_v it_o not_o why_o then_o do_v you_o press_v it_o upon_o we_o or_o why_o do_v you_o not_o believe_v that_o which_o you_o say_v our_o church_n believe_v if_o you_o believe_v it_o how_o then_o can_v your_o doctrine_n of_o a_o total_a and_o final_a fall_n from_o grace_n stand_v together_o with_o it_o if_o you_o believe_v that_o all_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n you_o must_v of_o necessity_n believe_v that_o they_o shall_v persevere_v in_o grace_n unto_o the_o end_n he_o that_o believe_v that_o the_o end_n shall_v certain_o be_v obtain_v must_v as_o certain_o believe_v that_o the_o mean_n which_o must_v obtain_v this_o end_n shall_v be_v use_v to_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o believe_v that_o all_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o enjoy_v christ_n kingdom_n you_o must_v likewise_o believe_v that_o they_o shall_v persevere_v and_o never_o fall_v from_o grace_n if_o you_o say_v that_o you_o do_v not_o absolute_o believe_v that_o obicct_n they_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n but_o only_o conditional_o if_o they_o persevere_v in_o the_o answ._n grace_n receive_v in_o their_o baptism_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o do_v absolute_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v regenerate_v why_o do_v you_o not_o as_o absolute_o believe_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n they_o be_v both_o record_v in_o the_o same_o term_n they_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o one_o sentence_n one_o follow_v upon_o the_o neck_n of_o another_o they_o be_v both_o set_v down_o as_o absolute_o and_o positive_o as_o the_o other_o therefore_o you_o must_v believe_v all_o of_o they_o to_o be_v alike_o absolute_a and_o then_o you_o can_v believe_v that_o ever_o they_o shall_v fall_v from_o grace_n for_o than_o they_o can_v not_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o of_o everlasting_a life_n or_o else_o you_o must_v make_v they_o all_o conditional_a and_o believe_v that_o those_o infant_n which_o be_v baptize_v be_v regenerate_v if_o they_o persevere_v in_o grace_n else_o that_o they_o be_v not_o regenerate_v by_o their_o baptism_n which_o will_v falsify_v this_o your_o proposition_n that_o all_o infant_n be_v true_o regenerate_v by_o their_o baptism_n which_o proposition_n as_o you_o see_v be_v no_o way_n warrant_v by_o the_o common_a prayer_n book_n or_o by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n last_o admit_v that_o all_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v be_v regenerate_v and_o that_o this_o be_v warrant_v by_o gal._n 3._o 27._o and_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n vet_n i_o say_v that_o this_o argument_n follow_v not_o nor_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o infant_n &_o other_o man_n may_v fall_v total_o or_o final_o from_o that_o sacramental_a grace_n which_o they_o receive_v inbaptisme_n but_o whether_o veer_fw-la fideles_fw-la whether_o such_o as_o be_v true_o regenerate_v &_o ingraft_v true_o into_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n may_v fall_v total_o or_o final_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n of_o the_o state_n or_o justify_v faith_n now_o sacramental_a grace_n and_o regeneration_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o this_o state_n of_o true_a &_o save_a grace_n and_o of_o justification_n by_o faith_n be_v another_o if_o we_o admit_v that_o infant_n once_o baptize_v have_v a_o sacramental_a grace_n within_o they_o which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o freedom_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o original_a sin_n yet_o no_o man_n i_o think_v can_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v any_o habitual_a grace_n or_o any_o live_n and_o justify_v faith_n within_o they_o for_o they_o want_v reason_n and_o understanding_n to_o apply_v the_o word_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o to_o use_v these_o mean_n which_o shall_v beget_v these_o grace_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o grace_n which_o child_n and_o other_o receive_v from_o baptism_n be_v but_o sacramental_a far_o different_a from_o the_o grace_n of_o which_o our_o controversy_n and_o question_n be_v if_o we_o grant_v the_o whole_a argument_n to_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o twenty_o six_o argument_n in_o which_o i_o have_v be_v over_o tedious_a by_o reason_n that_o our_o antagonist_n rely_v so_o much_o upon_o it_o the_o twenty_o seven_o argument_n which_o may_v be_v object_v against_o i_o be_v from_o particular_a example_n which_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o three_o head_n the_o first_o of_o adam_n and_o the_o angel_n the_o second_o of_o particular_a and_o whole_a church_n the_o three_o of_o particular_a and_o private_a saint_n the_o first_o argument_n from_o example_n be_v draw_v from_o adam_n and_o the_o angel_n adam_n and_o the_o angel_n who_o be_v of_o a_o high_a alloy_n than_o any_o regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n now_o be_v they_o fall_v from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n the_o one_o total_o the_o other_o final_o therefore_o the_o true_a regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n who_o grace_n be_v inferior_a unto_o they_o may_v fall_v total_o and_o final_o from_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o argument_n follow_v not_o because_o there_o answ._n be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o grace_n which_o the_o regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n enjoy_v and_o that_o grace_n which_o adam_n and_o the_o angel_n have_v for_o first_o that_o grace_n which_o adam_n and_o the_o angel_n have_v it_o be_v in_o their_o own_o possession_n and_o custody_n they_o themselves_o be_v the_o guardian_n and_o keeper_n of_o it_o but_o that_o grace_n which_o the_o regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n do_v now_o enjoy_v it_o be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o keep_n they_o themselves_o be_v not_o the_o guardian_n and_o preserver_n of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v god_n himself_o who_o keep_v it_o and_o preserve_v it_o in_o they_o by_o his_o power_n this_o be_v evident_a
