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.

we_o to_o be_v superflous_a vain_a and_o idle_a it_o can_v be_v admit_v to_o be_v true_a twelve_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v admit_v for_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v fall_v quite_o away_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v take_v away_o all_o absolute_a and_o irrespective_a predestination_n and_o election_n to_o eternal_a life_n one_o of_o these_o three_o

the_o father_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o to_o all_o orthodox_n and_o protestant_n divine_n of_o modern_a time_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v admit_v last_o if_o the_o true_a regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n may_v fall_v quite_o away_o from_o grace_n out_o of_o the_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n of_o their_o own_o will_n then_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n shall_v

this_o doctrine_n can_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v final_o or_o total_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o habit_n and_o state_n of_o true_a and_o save_a grace_n second_o as_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o final_a or_o total_a apostasy_n of_o the_o saint_n will_v produce_v many_o dangerous_a consequency_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o whole_a trinity_n in_o

if_o this_o shall_v stand_v for_o currant_n truth_n that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v notwithstanding_o fall_v from_o the_o very_a state_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v cause_v man_n for_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n and_o promise_n and_o to_o account_v no_o better_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o of_o a_o fable_n or_o a_o mere_a imposture_n it_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o deny_v the_o faith_n and_o to_o turn_v either_o atheist_n or_o pagan_n at_o the_o last_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v admit_v second_o it_o will_v deprive_v true_a christian_n of_o all_o true_a

it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o christian_n for_o to_o loose_v this_o grace_n and_o to_o fall_v from_o it_o again_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v happy_a here_o for_o

may_v sever_v a_o saint_n of_o god_n from_o the_o society_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o god_n for_o a_o time_n to_o humble_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v he_o more_o circumspect_a in_o his_o carriage_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v yet_o it_o never_o do_v dissect_v or_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o christ_n nay_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o sever_v and_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n for_o than_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v assail_v or_o admit_v into_o the_o visible_a church_n again_o unless_o he_o be_v rebaptise_v and_o during_o the_o time_n of_o this_o his_o excommunication_n he_o shall_v be_v no_o better_o and_o no_o more_o a_o christian_n than_o a_o turk_n or_o heathen_a man_n neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v admit_v and_o therefore_o this_o excommunication_n if_o you_o take_v it_o in_o the_o true_a and_o primative_a use_n of_o it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v now_o common_o abuse_v and_o make_v a_o common_a
