Nd
thus haue Tanfweredvnto
fuch obiectlions
againf£
the certaintie
of
perfeuerance,
as,are
grounded
vpon
examples.
Now
in
the
laft
place,
I
will propound
their
reafons vfuallie
alleaged
to
the
fame
purpofe
;
which I
will
anfwere briefly, becaufe
they
may
eafily
be
refuted by that
which hath
been aireadie
faid.Firfi then they
reafon
thus
:
All
habits
may
be loft
:
Iuflifying faith
is
an
habite
:-
Therefore
iuf}ifying
faith
may be loft.
I
anfwere
to
the propofition,that
if
it be true
at
all
(as
it
is
quefionáble)then
onely
ofnaturall
habits,which
in
proceffe
of
time
are
gotten
by mans induflrie
&
labour.But
faith is no
natural
habitattained
vnto
by mans
induflrie,but
is
ÿ
meere
gift
ofGod,infufed
into
vs
by
his holy fpirit
:
in which wee
canflantly
perfeuere
vino theend,not
by
the
vertue,flrength
and
nature
of
this
habite
of
faith in
it
fede,
but
through
the,prornifed
power
.ofGods
of
finance,
and the
interceffion
of
