in_o show_n rather_o than_o truth_n may_v be_v lose_v but_o a_o right_a faith_n whereby_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v and_o the_o believer_n justify_v can_v fall_v away_o for_o than_o they_o which_o

whereas_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n have_v cast_v away_o some_o than_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o man_n to_o endeavour_n to_o attain_v to_o salvation_n for_o he_o who_o god_n have_v decree_v shall_v be_v damn_v can_v possible_o be_v save_v to_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o by_o this_o reason_n if_o it_o conclude_v any_o thing_n god_n prescience_n and_o foreknowledge_n be_v as_o well_o overthrow_v as_o his_o decree_n of_o predestination_n for_o he_o forsee_v all_o thing_n that_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o world_n neither_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v otherwise_o dispose_v than_o he_o have_v foresee_v second_o if_o that_o god_n decree_n be_v know_v in_o particular_a who_o shall_v be_v damn_v who_o save_v then_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o any_o man_n to_o strive_v against_o god_n decree_n but_o see_v that_o no_o man_n can_v know_v his_o election_n godliness_n but_o by_o his_o work_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n every_o man_n must_v labour_v thereby_o to_o make_v his_o election_n sure_a as_o s._n peter_n exhort_v 2._o pet._n 1._o 10._o god_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o his_o sin_n the_o faithful_a and_o believer_n he_o condemn_v not_o but_o such_o as_o judas_n hypocrite_n and_o unfaithful_a man_n unto_o christ._n wherefore_o see_v there_o be_v some_o child_n of_o perdition_n but_o such_o as_o be_v give_v over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o be_v past_a feeling_n and_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n we_o therefore_o so_o many_o as_o god_n shall_v call_v shall_v labour_v for_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v by_o our_o faith_n virtue_n knowledge_n love_n conscience_n and_o by_o other_o fruitful_a work_n be_v assure_v that_o we_o belong_v unto_o election_n and_o be_v not_o of_o the_o forlorn_a sort_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v will_v thou_o be_v without_o fear_n of_o the_o power_n do_v well_o rom._n 13._o 3._o so_o he_o that_o will_v be_v without_o fear_n of_o everlasting_a perdition_n let_v he_o seek_v to_o please_v god_n and_o walk_v before_o he_o by_o a_o lively_a faith_n that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v it_o be_v then_o

be_v more_o easy_a that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o word_n than_o that_o one_o tittle_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v pass_v away_o luk._n 16._o 17._o yea_o he_o say_v further_a heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o but_o my_o word_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o mat._n 24._o 35._o 2._o as_o mat._n 2._o 15._o that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o lord_n
