A85704	A treatise touching falling from grace. Or Thirteen arguments tending to prove that believers cannot fall from grace, as they were laid down at a conference at Yalding in Kent, examined and answered, with many absurdities of that doctrine shewed. Whereunto is added thirteen reasons to prove that believers may fall totally and finally from grace, and many profitable uses flowing from that doctrine. By John Griffith.

in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v not_o god_n it_o teach_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o continue_v use_v 8_o instant_n in_o prayer_n pray_v fervent_o because_o otherwise_o

if_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v and_o so_o fall_v they_o have_v no_o need_n to_o take_v heed_n where_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n there_o need_v no_o caution_n these_o scripture_n with_o many_o
