1. W. BISHOP.
M. PERKINS FIRST CONCLVSION.
VVE hold and beleeue, that a man in this life, may be cer∣taine of saluation: and the same doth the Church of Rome teach.
M. P. 2. Conclu. We hold, that a man is to put certaine affiance in Gods mercy in Christ for the saluation of his soule: and the same holdeth the aforesaid Romane Church.
M. P. 3. Conclu. We hold, that with assurance of saluation in our hearts is ioyned doubting, and there is no man so assured of his saluation, but he at sometime doubteth thereof, especially in the time of temptation: and in this the Papists agree with vs. Not so Sir.
M. P. 4. Conclu. They goe further and say, that a man may be Certaine of the Saluation of men, and of the Church, by Catholike faith: and so say we.
M. P. 5. Conclu. They hold, that a man by faith may be assured of his owne saluation, through extraordinarie reuelation; In this sence onely the first conclusion is true.
M. P. 6. Conclu. The sixt, and second be all one: that we may be assured of our Saluation, in regard of God that promiseth it: though in regard of our selues, & our own indisposition we cannot.
1. VVE hold, that a man may be certaine of his saluation in his owne conscience euen in this life, and that by an or∣dinarie and speciall faith. They hold, that a man is Certaine of his Saluation, only by hope, both hold a Certainty, we by faith, they by hope.
2. We say our Certaintie is infallible: they, that it is onely pro∣bable.
