1. Protestants are further from the Opinion that Peters Faith failed, than the greatest Papist Doctors: Some Protestants hold that no Man that hath true saving Faith, doth ever totally lose it; much less Peter. Others hold, that no Elect Person that hath true Faith, doth totally lose it: And so thought Augustine: Others add, that though some, as Calvin speaks, qualecunque semen sidei perderint, having no more immutable Grace than Adam had in Innocency, yet all that have a Confirmed Radicated Habit, persevere.
