Quest. Did not Saint Austin himself the great Champion of free grace, against the Pelagians, hold the doctrine of the Apostasy of the Saints? For though he saith, That an elect justified person shall never finally fall away, yet he seems to say, that there are many truly justified who are not elect, and that justification, and election are not terms convertible. And that many are justified by a faith working by charity, who (not being elected) fall away totally and finally.

Answ. I must not deny but that this opinion is charged upon St. Austin by some learned men; and a Reverend Divine hath lately in a book printed about this subject asserted it as a thing undubitable and without controversy, and for this end he brings many sayings out of his works which favour this opinion. But this learned brother may, if he please, read an answer to most of those quotations long ago given by Bishop Abbot in his animadversions 1upon Tompsons Diatriba de amissione & intercisione justificationis & gratiae. And he may likewise find many sayings brought out of St. Austin which do most fully and clearly prove, that he held not only that no elect man can finally fall away, but also that none but the elect are justified, and that those who are truly justified can never fall away. As for example.2
