An end of doctrinal controversies which have lately troubled the churches

§. 1. I Shall reduce all that needs to be said on this point to these following controverted Questions: 1. Whether all Grace procured and given by Christ, be such as is never lost? 2. Whether that degree of Grace be ever lost, which giveth the posse credere without the act of Faith (commonly called sufficient Grace) in Adult or Infants? 3. Whether any lose actual true justifying Faith? 4. Whether any lose true Holiness, or love of God in the Habit? 5. Whether any degree of this be ever lost? or all special Grace have such Confirmation as the Angels have? 6. Whether, if Holiness be never lost, it be possible to lose it, and be in danger? 7. Whether ⟨p. 301⟩there be a state of confirmed Persons besides the merely sanctified, that from the degree or kind of their grace, never fall away? 8. Or whether Perseverance depend on mere Election and God's Will, which secureth only some of the justified? 9. Whether all, or most, or many Christians are themselves sure to persevere? 10. Whether Certainty of perseverance be fit for all the justified? 11. Whether it be unfit for all, and a more unsafe Condition than doubting? 12. Whether the Comfort of most Christians lie upon the Doctrine of such Certainty? 13. Whether the Doctrine of Eventual Apostasy infer any mutability in God? 14. Why God hath left this point so dark? 15. What was the Judgment of the ancient Churches after the Apostles? 16. Whether it be an Article of such evidence and weight, as to be put into our Church-Confessions, and we should force men to subscribe to it, or make it necessary to Ministration, Communion, or Christian Love and Concord?
