A10194	The perpetuitie of a regenerate mans estate VVherein it is manifestly proued by sundry arguments, reasons and authorities. That such as are once truly regenerated and ingrafted into Christ by a liuely faith, can neither finally nor totally fall from grace. It is also proued, that this hath beene the receiued and resolued doctrine, of all the ancient fathers, of all the Protestant churches and writers beyond the seas, and of the Church of England. All the principall arguments that are, or may be obiected against it, either from Scripture, or from reason, are here likewise cleared and answered. By William Prynne Gent: Lincolniensis.

these_o mean_n of_o perseverance_n i_o beat_v down_o my_o body_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o subjection_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v i_o to_o do_v that_o so_o i_o may_v persevere_v i_o can_v persevere_v in_o grace_n but_o by_o these_o mean_n &_o these_o mean_n i_o use_v that_o so_o i_o may_v persevere_v so_o that_o take_v the_o word_n and_o sense_n of_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n as_o favourable_a as_o you_o can_v for_o yourselves_o yet_o they_o make_v not_o any_o thing_n for_o your_o purpose_n the_o most_o that_o you_o can_v true_o collect_v from_o they_o be_v but_o this_o gape_a and_o disjoint_a argument_n the_o saint_n of_o god_n can_v persevere_v in_o grace_n but_o by_o use_v the_o mean_n or_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n therefore_o they_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n paul_n can_v not_o be_v save_v paul_n can_v not_o persevere_v but_o by_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o therefore_o paul_n may_v become_v a_o reprobate_n and_o fall_v quite_o away_o from_o grace_n how_o absurd_a ridiculous_a and_o false_a this_o argument_n be_v there_o be_v no_o man_n of_o understand_v but_o may_v judge_v for_o it_o make_v the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n to_o deprive_v man_n of_o the_o end_n and_o to_o make_v the_o end_n uncertain_a where_o as_o the_o end_n be_v never_o certain_a neither_o can_v it_o be_v obtain_v but_o by_o use_v the_o mean_n answ._n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v not_o always_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o antecedent_n be_v false_a and_o object_n quite_o repugnant_a to_o this_o text_n which_o you_o allege_v for_o paul_n tell_v we_o in_o this_o place_n that_o he_o do_v beat_v down_o his_o body_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o subjection_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o fall_v from_o grace_n and_o you_o argue_v and_o reason_n thus_o from_o this_o example_n paul_n be_v a_o regenerate_a man_n do_v use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n therefore_o regenerate_v man_n do_v not_o always_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n as_o sound_v a_o argument_n as_o the_o former_a be_v paul_n do_v use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n therefore_o paul_n may_v fall_v from_o grace_n well_o then_o i_o will_v deal_v with_o you_o but_o as_o you_o deal_v with_o us._n you_o from_o this_o particular_a example_n of_o paul_n will_v praeposterous_o collect_v a_o general_a untruth_n that_o paul_n may_v fall_v away_o from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o other_o regenerate_a man_n may_v do_v so_o to_o give_v i_o leave_v therefore_o from_o this_o particular_a example_n of_o paul_n to_o collect_v this_o general_a truth_n paul_n do_v always_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n therefore_o all_o other_o regenerate_v man_n do_v use_v they_o to_o as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o so_o your_o last_o objection_n be_v but_o false_a thus_o you_o see_v that_o this_o place_n of_o paul_n make_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o i_o give_v i_o leave_v now_o but_o to_o retort_v it_o against_o you_o who_o do_v object_n it_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o much_o it_o make_v for_o i_o those_o who_o always_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n lest_o by_o any_o mean_n they_o shall_v prove_v reprobate_n at_o the_o last_o can_v never_o fall_v from_o grace_n but_o all_o such_o as_o be_v once_o true_o regenerate_v and_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n they_o always_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n lest_o by_o any_o mean_n they_o shall_v prove_v reprobate_n at_o the_o last_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o this_o example_n of_o paul_n therefore_o they_o can_v never_o fall_v from_o grace_n here_o you_o be_v put_v to_o this_o dilemma_n either_o you_o must_v yield_v my_o argument_n to_o be_v sound_a and_o good_a which_o overturnes_a your_o false_a assertion_n or_o else_o you_o must_v give_v such_o a_o answer_n to_o it_o as_o will_v utter_o defeat_v all_o the_o argument_n which_o you_o yourselves_o can_v object_v against_o i_o from_o this_o place_n so_o that_o now_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v i_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n that_o either_o this_o place_n make_v not_o against_o i_o at_o all_o or_o else_o that_o it_o make_v more_o or_o at_o least_o as_o much_o for_o i_o as_o it_o do_v for_o yourselves_o and_o so_o it_o be_v impertinent_a to_o your_o purpose_n the_o three_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v object_v be_v collect_v from_o heb._n 6._o 4_o 5_o 6._o c._n 10._o 26._o to_o 30._o &_o 2._o pet._n 2_o 21._o &_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o in_o substance_n those_o that_o have_v be_v once_o enlighten_v those_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n those_o that_o have_v escape_v the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n through_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n those_o that_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o those_o that_o have_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v fall_v away_o from_o grace_n and_o never_o be_v remove_v again_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o forequote_v place_n therefore_o such_o as_o be_v once_o true_o regenerate_v and_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n may_v final_o and_o total_o fall_v from_o grace_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o double_a answ._n answer_n first_o i_o shall_v deny_v the_o argument_n which_o follow_v not_o for_o those_o which_o you_o mention_v in_o the_o antecedent_n be_v only_a hypocrite_n and_o such_o as_o never_o have_v any_o truth_n of_o grace_n and_o so_o your_o argument_n be_v no_o more_o in_o substance_n but_o this_o hypocrite_n &_o such_o as_o have_v no_o truth_n of_o grace_n may_v fall_v from_o the_o outward_a show_n of_o grace_n therefore_o true_a regenerate_a man_n and_o true_a believer_n may_v fall_v from_o the_o truth_n of_o grace_n now_o that_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n here_o allege_v and_o so_o consequent_o your_o antecedent_n which_o be_v ground_v on_o they_o be_v mean_v only_o of_o hypocrite_n and_o such_o as_o never_o have_v any_o truth_n of_o grace_n within_o they_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o these_o ensue_a reason_n first_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o mention_v or_o record_v in_o any_o of_o these_o three_o place_n which_o be_v object_v but_o that_o which_o be_v common_a to_o hypocrite_n and_o carnal_a man_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n for_o
