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.

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

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

four_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 the_o state_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v derogate_v much_o from_o the_o omnipotency_n and_o mighty_a power_n

man_n may_v do_v so_o to_o which_o argument_n be_v not_o only_o false_a but_o likewise_o very_o ridiculous_a and_o absurd_a now_o that_o this_o parable_n of_o christ_n be_v mean_v only_o of_o

out_o of_o the_o blind_a and_o dumb_a man_n which_o be_v possess_v with_o he_o which_o give_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o parable_n now_o christ_n no_o doubt_n do_v cast_v out_o devil_n out_o of_o many_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o they_o who_o he_o do_v never_o sanctify_v withal_o as_o he_o cure_v many_o man_n body_n who_o soul_n he_o do_v not_o heal_v and_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o christ_n

he_o both_o speak_v and_o see_v there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o cure_n wrought_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o therefore_o you_o can_v apply_v this_o parable_n to_o those_o who_o soul_n be_v cure_v to_o such_o out_o of_o who_o heart_n the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v destroy_v but_o only_o to_o such_o who_o body_n be_v dispossess_v of_o the_o actual_a residency_n and_o habitation_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o all_o which_o you_o can_v proper_o collect_v from_o hence_o be_v this_o that_o the_o devil_n may_v return_v again_o and_o actual_o possess_v such_o man_n out_o of_o who_o he_o have_v be_v actual_o not_o spiritual_o cast_v out_o before_o second_o the_o very_a end_n of_o this_o parable_n prove_v as_o much_o for_o christ_n apply_v this_o parable_n mere_o to_o the_o jew_n

a_o voluntary_a action_n in_o the_o devil_n now_o the_o devil_n never_o go_v out_o of_o any_o but_o out_o of_o such_o as_o be_v wicked_a man_n and_o take_v captive_a by_o he_o at_o his_o will_n 2_o
