A58888 A discoverie of the vvorld to come according to the Scriptures the first part thereof being didactical, or such as contains a form of positive doctrine : wherein 1. The doctrine of the world to come is propounded, explicated, confirmed, and applyed in a more familiar method then formerly hath been observed, 2. The doctrine of millenaries, touching a new reformed church in the latter times, which they call a new world, is confuted, 3. Sundry passages of holy writ are interpreted in reference to the world to come, which have been formerly wrested, and forced in a wrong sense / written by J. Seager... Seager, J.

not_o despair_v of_o their_o salvavation_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o that_o particular_a assurance_n which_o be_v want_v for_o the_o present_a may_v be_v have_v hereafter_o and_o we_o know_v not_o what_o a_o day_n a_o week_n a_o month_n or_o a_o year_n may_v bring_v forth_o 2._o because_o this_o particular_a assurance_n be_v not_o so_o essential_a to_o salvation_n as_o other_o

upon_o our_o election_n if_o a_o man_n be_v elect_v there_o be_v nothing_o that_o shall_v deprive_v he_o of_o salvation_n indeed_o i_o grant_v this_o assurance_n to_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a

want_n this_o assurance_n and_o after_o long_o seek_v can_v obtain_v it_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o far_o discourage_v as_o to_o despair_v of_o his_o salvation_n but_o in_o this_o case_n he_o shall_v still_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n which_o if_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v though_o he_o want_v this_o assurance_n what_o think_v you_o then_o of_o reprobate_n may_v not_o such_o obj._n despair_n of_o salvation_n i_o answer_v if_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n can_v certain_o know_v himself_o sol._n to_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o to_o be_v none_o of_o god_n elect_n he_o may_v have_v some_o excuse_n for_o this_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o any_o in_o this_o life_n to_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o for_o certain_a because_o our_o final_a and_o ultimate_a condition_n do_v not_o yet_o appear_v unto_o we_o therefore_o no_o man_n live_v in_o this_o world_n may_v despair_v of_o his_o future_a salvation_n be_v he_o never_o so_o wicked_a and_o vile_a a_o sinner_n for_o the_o present_a but_o he_o shall_v still_o think_v in_o charity_n towards_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v be_v one_o of_o god_n elect_n though_o he_o be_v not_o certain_a of_o it_o and_o that_o he_o may_v possible_o be_v save_v by_o his_o future_a faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o well_o as_o other_o though_o it_o be_v ill_a with_o he_o for_o the_o present_a for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o god_n do_v never_o by_o his_o word_n or_o spirit_n persuade_v any_o to_o despair_v of_o
