to_o prove_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v once_o regenerate_v can_v never_o fall_v away_o from_o grace_n because_o god_n do_v presence_n and_o guard_v they_o thus_o with_o his_o

they_o if_o not_o all_o of_o they_o be_v principal_o if_o not_o sole_o intend_v and_o mean_v of_o a_o spiritual_a protection_n and_o not_o of_o a_o temporary_a of_o a_o perpetual_a protection_n from_o

can_v suffer_v his_o saint_n thus_o to_o fall_v because_o it_o will_v make_v religion_n odious_a and_o distasteful_a even_o to_o christian_n themselves_o four_o it_o will_v quite_o discourage_v the_o

full_o hereafter_o wherefore_o see_v that_o it_o can_v never_o stand_v with_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o any_o who_o be_v true_o regenerate_v and_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n shall_v either_o final_o or_o total_o fall_v from_o grace_n it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o ever_o objection_n they_o shall_v thus_o fall_v if_o you_o object_n that_o these_o fall_v of_o the_o saint_n from_o grace_n will_v make_v those_o that_o fall_v and_o other_o that_o see_v their_o fall_n more_o circumspect_a and_o watchful_a afterward_o &_o therefore_o it_o standsvery_n well_o with_o god_n wisdom_n that_o they_o shall_v thus_o fall_v i_o answer_v first_o that_o god_n have_v many_o answer_n better_a mean_n to_o make_v his_o child_n circumspect_a and_o watchful_a against_o sin_n than_o this_o of_o a_o final_a or_o atotall_a fall_n from_o grace_n those_o temporal_a punishment_n those_o threaten_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n those_o inward_a conflict_n of_o conscience_n and_o grief_n of_o heart_n that_o loss_n of_o the_o comfortsand_n fence_n of_o grace_n which_o the_o saint_n do_v feel_v after_o their_o sin_n commit_v be_v sufficient_a morive_v for_o to_o make_v they_o circumspect_a this_o motive_n of_o a_o final_a and_o a_o total_a fall_n will_v be_v but_o superfluous_a or_o to_o little_a purpose_n and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v not_o so_o well_o and_o full_o with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n second_o which_o be_v the_o main_a answer_n i_o say_v that_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n will_v never_o use_v that_o for_o onesmall_a and_o less_o necessary_a end_n which_o will_v cross_v his_o wisdom_n in_o many_o great_a and_o weighty_a end_n now_o if_o god_n shall_v suffer_v his_o saint_n either_o final_o or_o total_o to_o fall_v from_o grace_n to_o make_v they_o more_o vigilant_a and_o circumspect_a for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v which_o may_v be_v do_v more_o fit_o and_o effectual_o by_o many_o other_o mean_n when_o as_o this_o will_v cross_v his_o wisdom_n in_o many_o weighty_a thing_n and_o end_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o it_o do_v it_o can_v stand_v with_o god_n wisdom_n that_o he_o shall_v use_v it_o for_o this_o only_a and_o less_o necessary_a end_n it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o fool_n and_o not_o of_o wiseman_n to_o redress_v one_o small_a and_o little_a inconvenience_n with_o many_o great_a and_o dangerous_a mischiese_n wherefore_o see_v that_o god_n at_o the_o most_o shall_v remedy_v but_o one_o small_a inconvenience_n but_o bring_v in_o many_o mischief_n by_o suffer_v of_o his_o saint_n to_o fall_v quite_o away_o from_o he_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n to_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v away_o and_o so_o this_o argument_n stand_v firm_a and_o in_o my_o judgement_n can_v be_v answer_v the_o nine_o thing_n in_o god_n which_o yield_v we_o a_o argument_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o assertion_n be_v his_o readiness_n to_o hear_v the_o prayer_n of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v oâ—…ce_o

second_o that_o god_n do_v always_o hear_v their_o prayer_n and_o grant_v their_o request_n in_o this_o behalf_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o appeal_v but_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o those_o who_o be_v once_o true_o regenerate_v and_o ingraft_v into_o christ._n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o all_o with_o one_o consent_n can_v testify_v from_o their_o own_o experience_n that_o it_o

the_o three_o petition_n in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n which_o you_o shall_v find_v math._n 6._o 10._o do_v full_o prove_v it_o where_o we_o pray_v thus_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o

saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n they_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n constant_o without_o any_o interruption_n continual_o without_o end_n wherefore_o see_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v always_o

which_o for_o want_v of_o join_v with_o they_o and_o stir_v of_o they_o up_o may_v quite_o be_v lose_v now_o the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o be_v only_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o quench_v these_o
