A49183	An apology for the ministers who subscribed only unto the stating of the truths and errours in Mr. William's book shewing, that the Gospel which they preach, is the old everlasting Gospel of Christ, and vindicating them from the calumnies, wherewith they (especially the younger sort of them) have been unjustly aspersed by the letter from a minister in the city, to a minister in the countrey.	Lorimer, William, d. 1721.	1694 (1694)	Wing L3073; ESTC R22599	321,667	222

obtain_v hence_o paul_n say_v rom._n 8.13_o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v and_o heb._n 3.12_o take_v heed_n lest_o there_o be_v in_o any_o of_o you_o a_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n in_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n we_o do_v not_o therefore_o think_v that_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o believe_v repent_v and_o mortify_v the_o flesh_n do_v effect_n or_o merit_v the_o conservation_n of_o justify_v grace_n because_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o we_o faint_o and_o imperfect_o sometime_o also_o through_o the_o prevalency_n of_o some_o great_a tentation_n they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v choke_v and_o oppress_v but_o we_o say_v that_o god_n himself_o of_o his_o free_a mercy_n preserve_v the_o regenerate_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n whilst_o they_o walk_v in_o these_o way_n as_o therefore_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o natural_a life_n it_o be_v necessary_o require_v that_o a_o man_n careful_o avoid_v fire_n water_n

of_o preservation_n but_o improper_o and_o by_o accident_n by_o exclude_v and_o remove_v the_o cause_n of_o destruction_n thus_o we_o have_v at_o large_a refute_v the_o author_n of_o the_o letter_n

that_o faith_n be_v so_o a_o instrument_n as_o to_o be_v a_o condition_n and_o so_o a_o condition_n as_o to_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o take_v the_o word_n instrument_n in_o a_o moral_a sense_n for_o a_o mean_n of_o receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o justification_n for_o christ_n sake_n only_o we_o do_v unfeigned_o affirm_v as_o turretin_n do_v that_o a_o sincere_a faith_n be_v

if_o you_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o why_o do_v you_o commend_v his_o book_n to_o i_o as_o that_o which_o will_v give_v i_o best_a direction_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o preserve_v my_o soul_n from_o

in_o the_o great_a point_n of_o assurance_n it_o be_v not_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o direct_a act_n of_o justify_v faith_n whereas_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n of_o marshal_n which_o you_o deny_v be_v the_o great_a engine_n wherewith_o our_o first_o reformer_n batter_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o rome_n thus_o our_o author_n by_o his_o way_n of_o write_v be_v more_o like_a to_o hinder_v man_n from_o believe_v and_o to_o harden_v they_o in_o their_o unbelief_n than_o to_o be_v instrumental_a in_o convert_v they_o from_o unbelief_n to_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n three_o unbeliever_n this_o believe_v be_v hard_a minister_n this_o be_v a_o good_a doubt_n but_o easy_o resolve_v here_o again_o the_o minister_n make_v himself_o ridiculous_a and_o expose_v himself_o to_o the_o scorn_n

his_o mind_n without_o the_o least_o hesitation_n or_o doubt_n that_o this_o believe_v be_v hard_o indeed_o and_o when_o the_o minister_n have_v hear_v he_o say_v yea_o have_v put_v the_o word_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o make_v he_o to_o say_v positive_o without_o doubt_v that_o this_o believe_v be_v hard_a then_o he_o answer_v he_o and_o say_v this_o be_v a_o good_a doubt_n and_o easy_o resolve_v and_o the_o plain_a english_a of_o that_o be_v that_o no_o doubt_n but_o a_o positive_a affirmation_n be_v a_o good_a doubt_n but_o suppose_v for_o once_o with_o the_o minister_n that_o no_o doubt_n be_v a_o doubt_n yet_o how_o do_v he_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a doubt_n for_o there_o be_v bad_a doubt_n as_o well_o as_o good_a doubt_n and_o why_o may_v not_o this_o be_v a_o bad_a doubt_n rather_o than_o a_o good_a doubt_n yes_o say_v the_o minister_n i_o prove_v it_o and_o make_v it_o appear_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bad_a but_o a_o good_a doubt_n because_o it_o bespeak_v a_o man_n deep_o humble_v rare_o prove_v but_o why_o may_v it_o not_o as_o well_o bespeak_v a_o man_n to_o be_v deep_o harden_v in_o unbelief_n and_o high_o list_v up_o in_o pride_n for_o be_v not_o the_o capernaite_v deep_o harden_v in_o unbelief_n and_o yet_o when_o they_o hear_v christ_n himself_o with_o his_o own_o bless_a mouth_n preach_v to_o they_o of_o the_o great_a

it_o we_o give_v he_o these_o two_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o pelagius_n deny_v universal_a redemption_n 1._o it_o be_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v by_o all_o who_o have_v any_o understanding_n of_o these_o matter_n and_o our_o author_n himself_o know_v it_o that_o pelagius_n deny_v original_a sin_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o he_o must_v needs_o also_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n of_o all_o mankind_n for_o infant_n that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n before_o they_o commit_v any_o actual_a sin_n be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o mankind_n the_o infant_n who_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n have_v dye_v and_o who_o daily_o do_v die_v and_o hereafter_o will_v be_v die_v to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o both_o within_o and_o without_o the_o church_n before_o they_o commit_v any_o actual_a sin_n will_v make_v up_o a_o vast_a number_n even_o many_o million_o of_o the_o race_n of_o mankind_n but_o pelagius_n deny_v that_o these_o infant_n who_o so_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n have_v any_o sin_n either_o original_a or_o actual_a to_o be_v redeem_v from_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o deny_v also_o that_o they_o be_v redeem_a and_o consequent_o he_o must_v needs_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n of_o all_o mankind_n where_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o punishment_n due_a for_o sin_n and_o consequent_o no_o room_n for_o redemption_n by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n either_o from_o sin_n or_o punishment_n but_o pelagius_n deny_v that_o infant_n who_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n have_v any_o manner_n of_o sin_n or_o that_o any_o manner_n of_o punishment_n be_v due_a to_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n therefore_o pelagius_n deny_v that_o such_o infant_n be_v redeem_a by_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n either_o from_o sin_n or_o punishment_n and_o consequent_o he_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n 2._o our_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o augustin_n who_o be_v a_o very_a competent_a witness_n because_o he_o live_v at_o the_o same_o time_n with_o pelagius_n and_o write_v against_o he_o and_o confute_v his_o error_n and_o heresy_n now_o augustin_n in_o his_o writing_n against_o pelagius_n and_o his_o disciple_n testify_v plain_o that_o they_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n on_o the_o account_n aforesaid_a for_o thus_o he_o write_v contra_fw-la dvas_fw-la epistolas_fw-la pelagianorum_n

that_o thou_o think_v by_o this_o and_o the_o forego_v passage_n of_o augustin_n it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o the_o pelagian_o first_o deny_v that_o infant_n have_v any_o original_a sin_n second_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o infant_n to_o redeem_v they_o either_o from_o sin_n or_o punishment_n of_o sin_n for_o though_o they_o decline_v to_o speak_v out_o and_o say_v plain_o that_o

pelagian_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n by_o the_o bloodshedding_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v so_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v middle-way-man_n who_o hold_v universal_a redemption_n and_o yet_o that_o our_o cause_n shall_v be_v coincident_a with_o that_o of_o pelagius_n who_o deny_v universal_a redemption_n sure_o our_o author_n can_v think_v both_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a of_o we_o without_o suppose_v we_o to_o believe_v both_o part_n of_o a_o contradiction_n at_o once_o but_o whatever_o he_o himself_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v

much_o better_a than_o he_o do_v declare_v sincere_o that_o we_o be_v never_o master_n of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o can_v believe_v know_v contradiction_n and_o that_o we_o can_v never_o make_v both_o end_n of_o a_o contradiction_n meet_v so_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o swallow_v they_o down_o both_o at_o once_o either_o then_o our_o author_n know_v that_o the_o pelagian_o deny_v original_a sin_n
