may_v have_v be_v do_v by_o some_o other_o man_n so_o that_o i_o may_v fold_v up_o what_o have_v be_v say_v into_o this_o form_n of_o argument_n that_o which_o pretend_v to_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n

be_v found_v on_o a_o divine_a testimony_n but_o for_o the_o better_a clarify_n of_o our_o thought_n and_o apprehension_n in_o this_o our_o second_o inquiry_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o to_o distinguish_v 1._o of_o the_o assent_n give_v to_o those_o article_n which_o must_v be_v always_o a_o assent_n of_o divine_a faith_n but_o a_o divine_a faith_n be_v sometime_o explicit_fw-la and_o express_v when_o we_o do_v actual_o apprehend_v and_o conceive_v of_o the_o proposition_n which_o we_o assent_v unto_o whether_o it_o be_v express_o lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n or_o we_o plain_o see_v it_o to_o be_v deduce_v from_o what_o be_v there_o lay_v down_o but_o sometime_o it_o be_v implicit_a and_o virtual_a only_o as_o when_o we_o assent_v unto_o some_o general_a proposition_n actual_o apprehend_v though_o we_o do_v not_o distinct_o consider_v the_o particular_n include_v in_o it_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o we_o assent_v unto_o some_o principle_n lay_v down_o in_o holy_a scripture_n though_o we_o do_v not_o actual_o apprehend_v those_o other_o truth_n which_o have_v a_o necessary_a consequential_a dependence_n on_o it_o we_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v these_o latter_a also_o implicit_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o semine_fw-la because_o we_o do_v express_o believe_v that_o which_o imply_v or_o infer_v they_o for_o instance_n when_o i_o assent_v unto_o this_o general_n god_n know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n i_o do_v implicit_o assent_v unto_o this_o god_n know_v my_o heart_n though_o perhaps_o i_o may_v not_o have_v as_o yet_o particular_o assent_v unto_o it_o and_o so_o when_o i_o assent_v unto_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v true_a man_n i_o do_v virtual_o assent_v unto_o this_o that_o christ_n have_v a_o reasonable_a soul_n because_o it_o may_v be_v firm_o infer_v from_o the_o former_a though_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o actual_o infer_v it_o or_o assent_v to_o it_o 2._o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o such_o assent_n
