Arg. 2. If all those that were the Children of God, who sinned, were restored, and not one Instance can be given of any one of this sort, i. e. that were truly regenerated, that sinned, fell, and rose no more; then none of the true Children of God can so sin, so fall, as eternally to perish. But all those that were the Children of God, who sinned, were restored; and not one Instance can be given of any one of this sort, i. e. that were truly regenerated, that sinned, and fell, and rose no more; therefore none of the true Children of God can so sin, so fall, as eternally to perish.
5thly. Those that are the Children of God, begotten by him, cannot sin, so as eternally to perish and lose. Eternal Life; because all that are his Children, are Heirs of God, and joint Heirs with Christ. This I grant is not always true of the Children of earthly Parents, or earthly Princes, for they are oft-times disinherited; but it is otherwise here, they are all born Heirs, their being regenerated and united to Christ, gives them a sure and undoubted Right and Title to Eternal Life. The Holy Ghost positively asserts this very thing; And if Children, then Heirs, Heirs of God, and joint Heirs with Christ.1
6thly. It is because the Children of God are the Seed of Christ, which the Father said Christ should see; He shall see his Seed: Nay, the Father assured him, that his Seed should endure for ever. 1
