objection_n against_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o former_a doctrine_n concern_v the_o three_o degree_n of_o liberty_n by_o which_o objection_n they_o contend_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o regenerate_a either_o to_o persevere_v in_o righteousness_n or_o to_o depart_v from_o it_o they_o who_o have_v liberty_n say_v they_o to_o choose_v good_a have_v liberty_n to_o persevere_v the_o regenerate_v have_v liberty_n to_o choose_v good_a 2._o cor._n 3._o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n therefore_o they_o have_v power_n to_o persevere_v answer_n if_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v right_o mean_v the_o whole_a reason_n may_v be_v grant_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o regenerate_v have_v so_o far_o forth_o liberty_n to_o persevere_v as_o they_o be_v lighten_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o liberty_n which_o they_o have_v to_o choose_v good_a depend_v upon_o his_o work_n and_o motion_n but_o if_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o the_o godly_a have_v this_o liberty_n either_o always_o or_o so_o that_o their_o perseveraunce_n depend_v of_o themselves_o there_o will_v be_v more_o find_v in_o the_o conclusion_n than_o be_v in_o the_o premise_n and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n first_o because_o they_o have_v liberty_n always_o to_o persevere_v who_o be_v never_o destitute_v of_o the_o guide_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v second_o because_o even_o their_o liberty_n also_o to_o good_a who_o be_v never_o forsake_v of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o depend_v not_o of_o themselves_o but_o of_o god_n but_o here_o they_o reply_v they_o the_o regenerate_a deserve_v the_o departure_n of_o god_n spirit_n from_o they_o through_o their_o manifold_a sin_n which_o yet_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o power_n preserve_v in_o they_o he_o that_o be_v not_o forsake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n except_o himself_o first_o withstand_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v always_o the_o aid_n and_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ready_a that_o he_o may_v persist_v in_o that_o good_a which_o he_o purpose_v but_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o forsake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unless_o themselves_o first_o withstand_v he_o therefore_o they_o have_v always_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ready_a that_o they_o may_v persevere_v but_o he_o who_o have_v this_o have_v in_o his_o own_o power_n to_o persevere_v or_o to_o decline_v because_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o his_o own_o will_v alone_o why_o he_o do_v either_o obey_v or_o resist_v the_o spirit_n move_v he_o when_o we_o deny_v the_o minor_a of_o this_o reason_n they_o prove_v it_o thus_o the_o justice_n of_o
god_n do_v not_o inflict_v punishment_n but_o on_o those_o who_o sin_n but_o to_o be_v forsake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o unthankfulness_n therefore_o no_o man_n be_v forsake_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o who_o have_v first_o deserve_v that_o forsake_v through_o his_o own_o stubbornness_n the_o answer_n hereto_o be_v double_a fi_v the_o argument_n may_v be_v grant_v as_o concern_v the_o regenerate_a for_o in_o they_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o life_n there_o be_v always_o so_o much_o remain_v of_o sin_n as_o they_o deserve_v not_o only_o temporal_a but_o eternal_a desertion_n and_o forsake_v and_o although_o because_o the_o sin_n which_o remain_v in_o they_o be_v forgive_v they_o for_o christ_n therefore_o they_o be_v free_v from_o everlasting_a punishment_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o free_a from_o chastisemente_n so_o long_o as_o the_o remnaunt_n of_o sin_n abide_v in_o they_o there_o be_v therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o sin_n also_o always_o most_o just_a cause_n why_o sometime_o for_o a_o season_n god_n will_v bereave_v they_o of_o the_o grace_n and_o guide_n of_o his_o spirit_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o second_o of_o samuel_n the_o twenty_o and_o four_o chapter_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v again_o kindle_v against_o israel_n and_o he_o move_v david_n against_o they_o in_o that_o he_o say_v go_v and_o number_n israel_n and_o juda_n end_n every_o forsake_v or_o rather_o sleep_v as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o regenerate_a be_v not_o a_o punishment_n neither_o do_v to_o that_o end_n second_o we_o answer_v to_o the_o minor_a that_o every_o forsake_v be_v not_o a_o punishment_n or_o do_v to_o that_o end_n as_o to_o punish_v but_o sometime_o also_o for_o
