1. That such who are true Believers, even Branches in Christ the Vine, (and that in his account, whom he exhorts to abide in him)a or such who have charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of Faith unfeigned,b may nevertheless for want of watchfulness, swerve and turn aside from the same,c and become as withered Branches, cast into the fire and burned.d But such who add unto their Faith Vertue, and unto Vertue Knowledge, and unto Knowledge Temperance, &c.e such shall never fall,f ’tis impossible for all the false Christs, and false Prophets, that are, and are to come, to deceive such, for they are kept by the power of God, through Faith unto Salvation.g
