Math. 7. 16. Rom. 11. that is in Christ If therefore any shall say that remission of sinnes once obtained by consequent falles can be made frustrate in the Saints hee doth ouer-turne the whole scope of the Gospell Reade Esay 38. 44. Mich. 7. 2 Only by an absolute relapse from piety to impiety Nunquam in nemine ob nullum peccatum sit irrita remissio Zanch. the remission of sinnes past once obtained can be done away But this relapse the true Saints and elect are not incident vnto therefore in them forgiuenesse of sinnes cannot be frustrate 3 In the Reprobate true remission of sinnes neuer tooke place therefore it can neuer in them bee frustrate wherefore in none Pro omnibus sufficienter pre electis tantum efficaciter Zanch. exscholasticis Pro omnibus illis electis ex Aug. Iohn 17. 1 Ioh. 2. Rom. 8 4 For the blood of Christ by which alone remission is atchieued is not according to the purpose of God and in deed shed out for the reprobate vnbeleeuers but only for other many that is the Elect and that for all those many 5 Neither did Christ pray vpon earth nor now mediate in heauen for the reprobate but onely for the elect beleeuers in time to come to beleeue in Him but remission of sinnes is obtained by the Aliqua luce mētes illuminat nurquam tamē pen●●●at illo●is corda Zanch. Ioh. 1. intercession of Christ 6 Likewise none but the Elect are truely endued with the Spirit of Regeneration who are truely Christs Rom. 8. But without the Spirit of Regeneration forgiuenesse of sinnes is not gotten Titus 1 Rom. 10. 2. Thess 3. Act. 13 Rom. 5. 7 So also true and iustifying Faith is onely proper to the Elect How then can the reprobate attaine remission of sinnes 8 To the wicked reprobates there is no peace as saith the Prophet but of remission of sinnes doth follow true peace 9 From remission of sinnes doth alwaies follow title to eternall life and after title the possession it self but the reprobate can neuer haue any title vnto life eternal and much lesse to the possession thereof 10 To attaine remission of sinnes and to be iustified are all one Rom. 4. Now none are iustified who are not predestinated and elect to iustification and life eternall and whosoeuer are iustified shall be glorified Rom. 8. Therefore the Reprobate Rom. 8 shall neuer obtaine truely remission of sinnes therefore it can neuer be frustrate in them in whom it is not at all Gu●…erunt nō●…ederunt Zanch. Gustant sed ●…ox expuūt idem discrimen inter dona spiritus sancti simpliciter dona spiritus sancti regenerantis Zanchius 11 By that speech of the Apostle to the Hebrewes c. 6. It is impossible that they who are illuminated and haue tasted of the heauenly gift and haue beene made partakers of the holy Spirit and haue tasted notwithstanding of the good Word of God and of the Powers of the world to come and are fallen away to be againe renewed to repentance it cannot be concluded that the reprobate are endued with the true Spirit of Regeneration with a true and iustifying Faith and therefore with true remission of sinnes yet that many of them are affected with a temporary faith and some tastes of the holy Spirit this and other places do plainely teach 12 The place 2. Pet. 1. touching Hypocrites For hee that hath not these things is blinde which seeth nothing a farre off forgetting that he was purged from his old sinnes is to bee vnderstood according to the custome of the holy Scriptures which do call Saints according to the iudgment of charity Iust purged from their sinnes although they are not all so before God so many as are Baptised into Christ and confesse Him all such are Sacramentally cleansed Conditionalis propositio nihil ponit in forma Zanch. Psalm 1. 112. 13 That of Ezech. chap. 18. If the Iust do auert from his Iustice is not to be vnderstood of him who is truely iust but of him who onely seemeth of men to be iust For neither can he who is truely righteous finally fall from iustice to iniquity and die therein of which finall and perfect auersion the Prophet speaketh Now hypocrites being iust onely before men do neuer obtaine true remission of sinnes before God therefore it cannot bee proued by this sentence that it is frustrate 14 That Mat. 18. So your heauenly Father shall do to you vnlesse you forgiue euery one to his brother from his heart their offences doth not conclude that sins once truly released can againe be called into iudgment but this onely that such men are deceiued who thinke their debts to be remitted from God vnto them when as they do not forgiue trespasses to their brethren Math. 12. 33.
