A16543	The importunate begger for things necessary, or necessity, without deniall Or a treatise, wherein is shewed the lawfullnesse of praying absolutely for necessary temporall things, without doubting or wavering, and that the saints of God may and ought, as absolutely depend upon God, for their dayly bread, as they may for the pardon of their sinnes, and that the cause is in themselves, who doe not obtaine them. Whereunto is annexed an answer to Mr. Norrice his 5 arguments, which were framed against it, together with an answer to his Prosopopeia, wherein, as well the insufficiency of those arguments, as the deceitfullnesse of his collections, is plainely manifested by R.B.	Boye, Rice.	1635 (1635)	STC 3450; ESTC S106818	69,334	88

make_v either_o to_o a_o temporary_a faith_n in_o that_o respect_n as_o you_o call_v it_o temporary_a namely_o as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o last_o but_o a_o while_n nor_o to_o temporarye_n that_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v your_o meaning_n to_o those_o who_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n jesus_n thus_o much_o i_o know_v before_o as_o also_o maintain_v against_o you_o as_o appeareth_z in_o my_o answer_n to_o your_o three_o argument_n for_o among_o other_o your_o assertion_n this_o be_v one_o namely_o that_o the_o very_a same_o dispensation_n in_o outward_a thing_n belong_v to_o one_o as_o to_o another_o to_o the_o evil_a and_o the_o good_a and_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n which_o assertion_n i_o there_o oppose_v and_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o position_n contrary_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n and_o thus_o much_o you_o do_v now_o in_o this_o place_n acknowledge_v in_o that_o you_o say_v there_o be_v no_o promise_n make_v to_o temporary_n that_o be_v to_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a person_n so_o that_o you_o have_v just_o bring_v that_o upon_o yourself_o which_o you_o unjust_o intend_v against_o another_o for_o by_o your_o own_o confession_n you_o contradict_v yourself_o if_o that_o in_o your_o argument_n be_v true_a than_o this_o here_o must_v needs_o be_v false_a if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o can_v be_v currant_n i_o pray_v you_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o and_o the_o lord_n give_v you_o a_o humble_a heart_n and_o willing_a mind_n to_o confess_v your_o fail_v 3._o to_o your_o three_o conclusion_n i_o thus_o answer_v that_o notwithstanding_o temporary_a faith_n so_o call_v by_o you_o because_o it_o last_v but_o a_o time_n do_v fail_v when_o tribulation_n come_v mat._n 13.21_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v from_o this_o distinction_n that_o more_o can_v have_v assurance_n of_o help_n in_o their_o great_a misery_n see_v in_o my_o distinction_n yet_o not_o i_o only_o i_o term_v that_o faith_n tempory_o not_o as_o you_o fain_o will_v have_v i_o because_o it_o last_v for_o a_o time_n but_o because_o it_o apprehend_v temporal_a promise_n and_o blessing_n nay_o do_v not_o i_o labour_n to_o persuade_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v have_v assurance_n of_o help_n and_o deliverance_n in_o and_o out_o of_o temporal_a plague_n and_o miscrye_v if_o they_o be_v not_o find_v to_o lack_v temporary_a faith_n that_o be_v a_o firm_a and_o steadfast_a apprehension_n of_o the_o temporal_a promise_n which_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o eternal_a promise_n have_v firm_o make_v to_o all_o his_o servant_n 4._o to_o the_o four_o conclusion_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o by_o faith_n here_o you_o understand_v faith_n in_o so_o general_a a_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o of_o heb._n 11.1_o that_o be_v as_o

general_o conceive_v apprehend_v both_o thing_n eternal_a and_o temporal_a as_o before_o i_o have_v show_v but_o if_o by_o faith_n here_o you_o mean_v that_o special_a one_o faith_n which_o justifi_v to_o eternal_a salvation_n be_v a_o apprehension_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v eternal_a and_o a_o act_n of_o that_o faith_n heb._n 11.1_o you_o shoot_v beside_o the_o mark_n now_o whereas_o i_o use_v these_o word_n these_o 2._o kind_n or_o sort_n of_o faith_n be_v both_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n i_o therein_o speak_v but_o the_o truth_n for_o as_o the_o former_a namely_o justify_v or_o eternal_a faith_n be_v as_o one_o faith_n a_o persuasion_n give_v of_o god_n for_o apprehend_v eternal_a life_n and_o his_o adjunct_n so_o the_o second_o namely_o temporary_a faith_n so_o call_v as_o before_o i_o term_v it_o be_v a_o persuasion_n give_v of_o god_n for_o apprehend_v temporary_a life_n with_o the_o adjunct_n so_o that_o now_o you_o see_v notwithstanding_o your_o great_a stir_n this_o distinction_n be_v thus_o ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n remain_v unmooveable_a and_o i_o doubt_v not_o the_o foundation_n be_v so_o firm_a but_o that_o the_o building_n will_v also_o
