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

the_o divine_a nature_n if_o you_o will_v call_v it_o by_o that_o phrase_n he_o may_v have_v some_o resemblance_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n in_o natural_a ability_n and_o extraordinary_a gift_n yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o that_o extraordinary_a sense_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o perfection_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o divine_a image_n some_o be_v natural_a perfection_n such_o as_o understanding_n and_o will_v and_o immortality_n and_o there_o be_v also_o some_o which_o we_o call_v moral_a perfection_n some_o thing_n in_o god_n which_o we_o can_v conceive_v but_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o virtue_n or_o grace_n as_o truth_n justice_n mercy_n and_o the_o like_a now_o we_o understand_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o the_o latter_a not_o the_o former_a sense_n mr._n ives_n i_o expound_v it_o of_o the_o same_o partake_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o bring_v a_o instance_n in_o the_o 17_o act_n about_o extraordinary_a gift_n i_o answer_v thus_o that_o instance_n do_v not_o exclude_v but_o include_v the_o ordinary_a as_o you_o call_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o leave_v this_o to_o consideration_n whether_o he_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o indeed_o that_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o my_o argument_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o he_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v fall_v away_o he_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o

which_o i_o prove_v thus_o that_o if_o those_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v fall_v away_o than_o those_o that_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n may_v fall_v away_o mr._n danson_n i_o deny_v it_o i_o say_v that_o phrase_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n as_o there_o it_o be_v use_v concern_v the_o saint_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o a_o special_a sense_n there_o be_v no_o

the_o participation_n of_o the_o moral_a and_o natural_a perfection_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n mr._n ives_n you_o say_v that_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o a_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o you_o interpret_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o a_o extraordinary_a measure_n of_o gift_n but_o that_o man_n that_o partake_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o it_o which_o you_o call_v partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n mr._n danson_n prove_v it_o mr._n ives_n if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o extraordinary_a gift_n be_v promise_v to_o none_o but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o

but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v promise_v to_o none_o but_o such_o therefore_o none_o can_v partake_v of_o it_o but_o such_o mr._n danson_n i_o deny_v your_o minor_a mr._n ives_n it_o be_v a_o

mr._n danson_n he_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o none_o at_o all_o mr._n ives_n you_o shall_v have_v say_v so_o before_o therefore_o give_v i_o a_o instance_n where_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o joel_n the_o 2._o and_o immediate_o before_o say_v the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o none_o at_o all_o beside_o what_o be_v that_o promise_n in_o joel_n 2._o make_v to_o
