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.

and_o not_o sanctify_v their_o prosperity_n or_o poverty_n unto_o they_o but_o god_n do_v never_o leave_v regenerate_v man_n unto_o themselves_o he_o do_v never_o leave_v they_o nor_o forsake_v they_o and_o he_o do_v sanctify_v 6._o all_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o life_n unto_o they_o make_v they_o all_o to_o work_v together_o for_o their_o good_a rom._n 8._o 38._o therefore_o they_o can_v cause_v they_o for_o to_o fall_v from_o grace_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n of_o agur_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o plenty_n or_o poverty_n may_v cause_v regenerate_v man_n to_o fall_v from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n they_o only_o prove_v that_o they_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o commit_v many_o sin_n against_o god_n which_o they_o may_v do_v and_o yet_o not_o fall_v from_o grace_n hezechiah_n his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o with_o pride_n 2_o chron._n 32._o 25_o 26._o yet_o he_o fall_v not_o away_o from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n but_o repent_v he_o of_o this_o his_o sin_n plenty_n or_o poverty_n they_o may_v be_v occasion_n of_o pride_n and_o discontent_n thus_o much_o this_o prayer_n of_o agur_n prove_v it_o prove_v that_o christian_n ought_v for_o to_o desire_v a_o competency_n and_o to_o avoid_v and_o pray_v against_o all_o occasion_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v all_o it_o prove_v what_o consequence_n then_o can_v you_o infer_v from_o hence_o what_o that_o the_o true_a regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n may_v fall_v from_o grace_n because_o that_o agur_n pray_v to_o god_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o occasion_n of_o sin_n because_o he_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o give_v he_o perseverance_n and_o to_o remove_v those_o let_n and_o obstacle_n which_o may_v hinder_v he_o in_o his_o perseverance_n what_o a_o absurdity_n will_v this_o be_v regenerate_v man_n pray_v to_o god_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o occasion_n of_o sin_n regenerate_a man_n use_v the_o mean_n and_o help_v to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n and_o remove_v the_o obstacle_n that_o may_v hinder_v they_o therefore_o they_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n this_o be_v all_o the_o argument_n that_o can_v be_v collect_v from_o hence_o and_o this_o all_o be_v nothing_o the_o twenty_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v object_v against_o i_o be_v take_v from_o that_o of_o paul_n 1_o thes._n 5._o 19_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n the_o regenerate_a saint_n of_o god_n may_v quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o may_v fall_v from_o grace_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o answ._n be_v a_o double_a quench_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o one_o of_o the_o heat_n &_o fervency_n the_o other_o of_o the_o habitual_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n the_o saint_n of_o god_n out_o of_o idleness_n and_o negligence_n in_o god_n service_n or_o by_o the_o commission_n of_o some_o sin_n or_o other_o or_o by_o the_o negligent_a and_o superficial_a performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n may_v quench_v the_o fervency_n the_o heat_n and_o zeal_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o be_v of_o those_o spiritual_a grace_n which_o be_v within_o they_o which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o the_o degree_n and_o fruit_n of_o grace_n but_o yet_o they_o can_v never_o extinguish_v the_o habitual_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o they_o be_v of_o a_o divine_a nature_n they_o be_v a_o incorruptible_a seed_n a_o seed_n which_o will_v remain_v within_o they_o a_o spiritual_a fire_n which_o never_o fail_v and_o which_o many_o water_n can_v quench_v as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 1_o pet_n 1._o 23._o 2_o pet._n 1._o 3._o 1_o john_n 3._o 9_o luke_n 22_o 32._o 1_o cor._n 13._o 8._o and_o cant._n 8._o 6_o 7._o so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n be_v only_o this_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n must_v not_o neglect_v the_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n when_o as_o they_o feel_v they_o arise_v and_o spring_v up_o in_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o must_v beware_v of_o abate_v of_o the_o edge_n the_o fervency_n the_o strength_n the_o heat_n and_o zeal_n of_o their_o grace_n and_o not_o that_o they_o may_v utter_o extinguish_v and_o put_v out_o the_o habitual_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o be_v in_o they_o so_o that_o your_o argument_n from_o this_o place_n of_o paul_n can_v be_v but_o this_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v suppress_v and_o neglect_v the_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o lose_v the_o heat_n the_o zeal_n the_o fervency_n and_o degree_n of_o grace_n therefore_o they_o may_v lose_v the_o very_a habit_n and_o seed_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a inconsequencie_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a quench_v of_o the_o spirit_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spirit_n itself_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o they_o can_v actual_o quench_v the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v not_o be_v quench_v by_o they_o but_o will_v still_o remain_v within_o they_o though_o they_o themselves_o out_o of_o incogitancie_n or_o negligence_n but_o never_o out_o of_o malice_n and_o wilfulness_n endeavour_v for_o to_o quench_v it_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o quench_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v have_v a_o double_a construction_n for_o a_o man_n may_v quench_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o or_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o now_o some_o good_a interpreter_n expound_v this_o place_n of_o paul_n of_o the_o quench_n of_o god_n spirit_n mere_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o make_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n see_v that_o you_o encourage_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o cross_v interrupt_v or_o discourage_v they_o in_o their_o preach_n by_o your_o unfruitfulnesse_n or_o by_o oppose_v yourselves_o against_o they_o or_o by_o your_o disreport_n and_o neglect_v of_o their_o ministry_n in_o not_o repair_v

nonsequitur_fw-la last_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o place_n of_o paul_n be_v but_o a_o bare_a admonition_n he_o say_v not_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v quench_v the_o spirit_n but_o only_o admonish_v they_o not_o to_o quench_v it_o which_o do_v not_o imply_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v quench_v the_o spirit_n because_o their_o diligent_a care_n in_o not_o quench_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o chief_a mean_n for_o to_o preserve_v &_o keep_v the_o spirit_n in_o they_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n must_v use_v the_o mean_n for_o to_o preserve_v the_o spirit_n in_o they_o therefore_o they_o may_v quite_o extinguish_v it_o be_v but_o a_o absurd_a and_o contradictor●…e_a argument_n so_o that_o take_v this_o place_n of_o paul_n in_o what_o sense_n you_o will_v it_o do_v

lest_o antichrist_n shall_v seduce_v they_o therefore_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a exhortation_n to_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o persevere_v in_o grace_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v necessary_o imply_v
