Temptation After Baptisme

The phrase "vtter ruine" is underlined in column 505 and marked with an "x" in the margin. On the very last page of the manuscript, pasted to the board, is a note that reads "In page 505 is a mistaken new-seeming contradiction." The entire passage Stonehouse is referring to reads " No man can, by his reluctancie, make voyd his first, prevenient grace, wherby he iustifies: but any man may hinder, & keepe back, his subsequent, or sanctifying grace; & so, by refusing to follow the guidance of his spirit, stop his owne progresse in the way of godlinesse, & occasion his relapse and vtter ruine."
