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

mr._n ives_n then_o my_o argument_n be_v prove_v i_o will_v now_o give_v you_o leave_v to_o show_v they_o by_o part_n that_o they_o that_o be_v renew_v by_o repentance_n that_o be_v enlighten_v and_o

grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n then_o if_o so_o be_v i_o can_v prove_v but_o one_o part_n from_o a_o plain_a scripture_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o whole_a shall_v be_v infer_v because_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o one_o another_o no_o person_n be_v true_o enlighten_v but_o he_o also_o taft_n of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v

of_o my_o argument_n be_v good_a till_o you_o assign_v a_o instance_n that_o these_o character_n be_v apply_v to_o some_o that_o be_v not_o true_a believer_n mr._n danson_n i_o deny_v the_o argument_n suppose_v these_o very_a term_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n apply_v to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o true_a believer_n yet_o the_o thing_n signify_v may_v mr._n ives_n sir_n you_o must_v

in_o the_o scripture_n though_o we_o have_v be_v dispute_v all_o this_o while_n about_o it_o but_o we_o understand_v by_o true_a believer_n a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o a_o hypocrite_n that_o do_v

not_o our_o guide_n we_o be_v all_o in_o the_o dark_a now_o if_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o these_o for_o character_n of_o true_a believer_n and_o tell_v we_o the_o contrary_a be_v not_o true_a believer_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o judge_v that_o man_n not_o a_o true_a believer_n that_o have_v these_o character_n for_o we_o have_v no_o rule_n to_o judge_v any_o man_n a_o believer_n or_o

and_o receive_v nothing_o else_o and_o you_o have_v assign_v nothing_o wherein_o they_o differ_v ergo_fw-la than_o my_o former_a argument_n be_v true_a mr._n danson_n i_o deny_v your_o minor_a mr._n
