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.

but_o likewise_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o suppose_v that_o i_o can_v not_o perform_v a_o better_a piece_n of_o service_n to_o god_n or_o to_o our_o church_n and_o state_n then_o to_o

error_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o learning_n fame_n and_o greatness_n of_o their_o patron_n and_o the_o depravation_n of_o man_n nature_n which_o be_v always_o more_o propense_a and_o prone_a to_o error_n then_o to_o truth_n and_o holiness_n be_v like_a to_o threaten_v a_o general_a and_o universal_a deluge_n to_o our_o church_n and_o state_n if_o authority_n prevent_v they_o not_o in_o time_n upon_o this_o i_o resolve_v to_o put_v my_o pen_n to_o paper_n and_o thereupon_o i_o select_v and_o cull_v out_o from_o among_o the_o rest_n this_o heretical_a and_o pernicious_a error_n of_o the_o total_a and_o final_a apostasy_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o grace_n to_o combat_v and_o to_o grapple_v with_o the_o reason_n which_o move_v i_o to_o single_a out_o this_o one_o above_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v these_o first_o because_o this_o error_n be_v most_o of_o all_o insist_v and_o stand_v upon_o and_o be_v more_o peremptory_o maintain_v and_o defend_v then_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o require_v the_o speedy_a and_o the_o strong_a opposition_n second_o because_o this_o error_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o misreported_a conference_n have_v draw_v more_o disciple_n and_o party_n after_o it_o than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n it_o have_v find_v more_o patron_n of_o late_a among_o we_o than_o any_o other_o error_n that_o i_o know_v and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o i_o shall_v do_v the_o great_a good_a in_o oppose_v and_o suppress_v the_o most_o infectious_a and_o spread_a error_n three_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o above_o the_o rest_n because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o pelagianisme_n heretofore_o and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o point_n of_o pure_a popery_n and_o arminianism_n now_o and_o therefore_o i_o presume_v that_o i_o may_v with_o great_a boldness_n and_o audacity_n and_o with_o less_o offence_n to_o any_o adventure_n to_o refel_v it_o especial_o since_o those_o who_o now_o defend_v it_o produce_v no_o other_o reason_n argument_n answer_n or_o authority_n than_o those_o which_o the_o pelagian_n papist_n and_o arminian_n have_v frame_v and_o collect_v to_o their_o hand_n before_o without_o any_o new_a addition_n of_o their_o own_o four_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o to_o vindicate_v the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o father_n scripture_n and_o protestant_n in_o foreign_a part_n from_o the_o false_a calumny_n of_o those_o who_o will_v make_v all_o these_o the_o patron_n of_o this_o error_n when_o as_o they_o have_v all_o with_o one_o unanimous_a consent_n condemn_v censure_v and_o refute_v it_o yea_o and_o resolve_v against_o it_o as_o against_o a_o dangerous_a and_o heretical_a position_n fife_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o because_o the_o sound_a confutation_n of_o it_o will_v overthrow_v the_o whole_a frame_n and_o fabric_n of_o arminianism_n it_o will_v likewise_o out_o off_o a_o great_a part_n of_o popery_n and_o it_o will_v in_o effect_n suppress_v and_o quite_o subvert_v the_o most_o of_o all_o those_o error_n which_o have_v be_v late_o broach_v among_o us._n for_o if_o this_o total_a and_o final_a apostasy_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v once_o prove_v to_o be_v but_o a_o error_n then_o the_o doctrine_n of_o universal_a grace_n of_o freewill_n of_o election_n from_o the_o foresight_n of_o say_v that_o such_o man_n as_o be_v never_o elect_v to_o salvation_n have_v true_a say_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a be_v uncertain_a that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v cut_v they_o off_o from_o christ_n that_o all_o these_o who_o be_v baptize_v be_v regenerate_v

sin_n he_o will_v estimate_v and_o reward_v they_o according_a to_o their_o grace_n and_o their_o inward_a man_n according_a to_o the_o inward_a purpose_n bend_v and_o clination_n of_o their_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o constant_a course_n and_o practice_v of_o their_o life_n and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o particular_a and_o private_a act_n of_o sin_n in_o which_o they_o die_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o perish_v everlasting_o for_o this_o act_n of_o sin_n but_o they_o be_v certain_o receive_v unto_o life_n everlasting_a six_o the_o thief_n which_o never_o do_v repent_v in_o all_o his_o life_n before_o be_v save_v on_o the_o cross_n even_o at_o the_o last_o gasp_n and_o period_n of_o his_o life_n therefore_o that_o god_n and_o saviour_n who_o be_v so_o merciful_a to_o save_v a_o sinner_n that_o never_o be_v a_o saint_n at_o the_o very_a last_o gasp_n will_v always_o be_v so_o gracious_a so_o love_v and_o compassionate_a as_o to_o save_v a_o sinner_n at_o the_o last_o which_o be_v a_o saint_n a_o friend_n a_o brother_n and_o a_o best_a belove_a unto_o he_o before_o last_o to_o shut_v up_o all_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o admit_v that_o a_o actual_a and_o particular_a repentance_n be_v require_v as_o a_o thing_n absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n of_o all_o the_o true_a regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n after_o any_o gross_a and_o know_a sin_n commit_v by_o they_o yet_o than_o i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n do_v take_v away_o any_o of_o his_o saint_n in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o sin_n he_o do_v in_o that_o very_a instance_n which_o he_o take_v they_o in_o give_v they_o such_o a_o actual_a &_o particular_a repentance_n as_o shall_v save_v their_o soul_n for_o he_o have_v praedestinate_v they_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o therefore_o have_v predestinate_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n he_o do_v likewise_o predestine_v they_o unto_o the_o mean_n for_o to_o obtain_v it_o wherefore_o as_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o end_n so_o likewise_o be_v it_o impossible_a to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o be_v annex_v inseparable_o unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o put_v the_o worst_a you_o can_v imagine_v yet_o we_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o god_n do_v always_o give_v his_o saint_n this_o actual_a repentance_n even_o in_o the_o very_a point_n and_o instant_n when_o he_o cut_v they_o off_o which_o the_o pseudolut_a heran_n and_o those_o that_o defend_v only_o a_o total_a fall_n from_o grace_n without_o a_o final_a do_v confess_v and_o teach_v and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o those_o sin_n they_o do_v commit_v notwithstanding_o their_o lie_v in_o sin_n for_o a_o time_n or_o their_o die_n in_o sin_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o act_n not_o in_o the_o habit_n and_o trade_n of_o some_o particular_a sin_n without_o any_o actual_a or_o particular_a repentance_n for_o that_o sin_n of_o they_o they_o neither_o fall_v final_o nor_o yet_o total_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o main_a and_o principal_a argument_n this_o be_v the_o very_a knot_n and_o hinge_n of_o the_o question_n and_o therefore_o pardon_v i_o good_a reader_n though_o i_o have_v be_v so_o prolix_a and_o tedious_a in_o my_o answer_n to_o it_o the_o twenty_o five_o argument_n or_o objection_n that_o be_v make_v against_o i_o be_v that_o a_o true_a regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n may_v be_v excommunicate_v therefore_o he_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n i_o answer_v 1._o that_o the_o argument_n do_v not_o follow_v for_o though_o excommunication_n may_v sever_v a_o saint_n of_o god_n from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n for_o a_o time_n to_o humble_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v he_o more_o circumspect_a in_o his_o carriage_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v yet_o it_o never_o do_v dissect_v or_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o christ_n nay_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o sever_v and_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n for_o than_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v assail_v or_o admit_v into_o the_o visible_a church_n again_o unless_o he_o be_v rebaptise_v and_o during_o the_o time_n of_o this_o his_o excommunication_n he_o shall_v be_v no_o better_o and_o no_o more_o a_o christian_n than_o a_o turk_n or_o heathen_a man_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v admit_v and_o therefore_o this_o excommunication_n if_o you_o take_v it_o in_o the_o true_a and_o primative_a use_n of_o it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v now_o common_o abuse_v and_o make_v a_o common_a
