have_v go_v this_o way_n to_o work_v to_o convert_v infidel_n pap._n therefore_o those_o who_o obtain_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n must_v have_v some_o rule_n to_o acquire_v they_o by_o which_o can_v deceive_v they_o ans_fw-fr this_o be_v a_o obscure_a say_v and_o i_o must_v make_v the_o best_a of_o it_o by_o obtain_v article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v believe_v they_o and_o by_o a_o rule_n by_o which_o to_o acquire_v they_o he_o must_v understand_v a_o rule_n or_o mean_n whereby_o to_o know_v what_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v and_o then_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o those_o who_o believe_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n must_v be_v provide_v of_o some_o such_o rule_n or_o means_n to_o know_v what_o they_o be_v as_o can_v deceive_v they_o now_o whether_o this_o be_v in_o itself_o true_a or_o false_a it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o follow_v from_o what_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o before_o for_o though_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n or_o proposition_n be_v so_o sure_a that_o as_o he_o wise_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v false_a yet_o it_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n follow_v that_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o i_o believe_v these_o thing_n must_v necessary_o be_v as_o sure_a as_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o this_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n the_o disputer_n be_v well_o aware_a of_o but_o because_o i_o be_o sensible_a who_o they_o be_v who_o he_o design_n to_o pervert_v by_o this_o paper_n and_o for_o who_o sake_n i_o answer_v it_o i_o will_v explain_v this_o matter_n by_o a_o instance_n that_o will_v bring_v it_o down_o to_o all_o capacity_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o henry_n the_o 8_o it_o be_v certain_o impossible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o such_o man_n but_o my_o belief_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n be_v ground_v upon_o such_o reason_n as_o do_v not_o imply_v a_o absolute_a impossibility_n of_o the_o contrary_a because_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o fallible_a man_n and_o yet_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o little_o better_o than_o a_o madman_n if_o i_o shall_v entertain_v the_o least_o doubt_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o i_o may_v have_v sufficient_a reason_n to_o believe_v a_o thing_n without_o any_o evidence_n of_o the_o impossibility_n of_o the_o contrary_a and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o overthrow_v his_o consequence_n i_o shall_v now_o inquire_v what_o truth_n there_o be_v in_o the_o conclusion_n itself_o to_o which_o end_n i_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o those_o word_n can_v deceive_v they_o either_o first_o that_o the_o rule_n itself_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o certain_a that_o no_o man_n who_o use_v it_o can_v be_v deceive_v by_o the_o rule_n or_o second_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o man_n shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o former_a than_o i_o shall_v show_v he_o present_o that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o rule_n as_o he_o speak_v of_o and_o that_o he_o have_v say_v nothing_o to_o make_v we_o ashamed_a of_o it_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o latter_a than_o i_o say_v it_o be_v absolute_o false_a that_o those_o who_o without_o doubt_v believe_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n must_v have_v such_o a_o rule_n to_o know_v what_o they_o be_v as_o that_o they_o can_v possible_o mistake_v in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o to_o make_v which_o plain_a to_o every_o body_n understanding_n i_o shall_v add_v another_o instance_n easy_a to_o be_v apply_v if_o a_o man_n skilful_a in_o arithmetic_n have_v a_o great_a many_o number_n before_o he_o and_o desire_n to_o know_v what_o sum_n they_o make_v when_o they_o be_v put_v together_o he_o have_v the_o rule_n of_o addition_n to_o do_v it_o by_o which_o rule_n can_v deceive_v he_o now_o there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v far_o which_o i_o think_v the_o disputer_n himself_o will_v not_o deny_v first_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n possible_a that_o this_o man_n may_v be_v mistake_v every_o time_n that_o he_o put_v these_o several_a number_n together_o to_o bring_v they_o all_o into_o one_o sum_n but_o second_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o possibility_n of_o be_v mistake_v yet_o after_o he_o have_v try_v it_o over_o and_o over_o again_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a without_o the_o least_o doubt_n that_o he_o have_v do_v his_o work_n right_o even_o so_o we_o may_v have_v a_o rule_n of_o faith_n that_o can_v deceive_v we_o and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o yet_o we_o may_v for_o all_o that_o be_v assure_v and_o believe_v without_o the_o least_o doubt_v that_o we_o have_v learn_v what_o the_o true_a faith_n be_v by_o that_o rule_n for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o contrary_n be_v bare_o possible_a pap._n to_o a_o parliamentary_a protestant_n the_o ancient_a father_n can_v be_v such_o a_o rule_n because_o they_o be_v

this_o be_v impertinent_a also_o for_o we_o never_o say_v they_o be_v our_o rule_n of_o faith_n but_o we_o have_v better_a reason_n to_o give_v why_o father_n and_o council_n can_v be_v our_o rule_n of_o faith_n than_o this_o that_o the_o disputer_n have_v make_v for_o we_o and_o one_o be_v this_o that_o we_o can_v make_v they_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o by_o so_o do_v we_o must_v depart_v from_o the_o primitive_a father_n and_o the_o ancient_a council_n in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o agree_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o they_o make_v it_o they_o pap._n nor_o scripture_n sense_v by_o a_o fallible_a authority_n because_o all_o such_o interpretation_n may_v be_v false_a ans_fw-fr this_o be_v the_o place_n where_o i_o shall_v tell_v the_o

place_n until_o the_o day_n dawn_n and_o the_o daystar_n arise_v in_o your_o heart_n in_o these_o word_n st._n peter_n commend_v believer_n for_o take_v heed_n or_o careful_o attend_v to_o the_o scripture_n and_o moreover_o express_v a_o weighty_a reason_n why_o in_o do_v so_o they_o do_v well_o because_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n and_o a_o light_n shine_v in_o a_o dark_a place_n till_o the_o day_n dawn_v and_o the_o daystar_n arise_v in_o their_o heart_n i_o shall_v first_o endeavour_v to_o explain_v this_o reason_n for_o the_o diligent_a read_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o shall_v try_v to_o remove_v those_o prejudices_fw-la and_o objection_n which_o some_o man_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o produce_v against_o it_o and_o last_o recommend_v it_o to_o your_o care_n and_o conscience_n by_o earnest_a exhortation_n first_o as_o to_o the_o reason_n itself_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o the_o forego_n verse_n mention_v that_o testimony_n which_o have_v be_v give_v to_o jesus_n by_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n but_o say_v he_o we_o have_v also_o a_o more_o sure_a word_n of_o prophecy_n i._n e._n we_o have_v yet_o a_o more_o convince_a testimony_n of_o god_n that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n viz._n the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n again_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n that_o no_o prophecy_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n or_o rather_o of_o the_o prophet_n own_o skill_n and_o motion_n for_o so_o the_o original_a will_v bear_v and_o the_o follow_a word_n require_v for_o prophecy_n come_v not_o of_o old_a time_n by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o holy_a man_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o that_o testimony_n which_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n give_v to_o jesus_n by_o have_v foretell_v those_o thing_n concern_v the_o messiah_n which_o be_v fulfil_v in_o jesus_n and_o in_o he_o only_o so_o that_o st._n peter_n commend_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n for_o their_o diligent_a study_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n because_o their_o write_n do_v abound_v with_o those_o prediction_n concern_v christ_n which_o have_v raise_v a_o expectation_n of_o he_o in_o the_o world_n before_o he_o come_v which_o will_v clear_o demonstrate_v he_o to_o the_o world_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o which_o now_o be_v a_o most_o convince_a testimony_n that_o he_o be_v come_v and_o that_o jesus_n in_o who_o all_o those_o prediction_n be_v fulfil_v be_v he_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n will_v appear_v by_o consider_v these_o particular_n of_o the_o text._n i._o that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o word_n

prophecy_n 1._o that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n the_o write_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n do_v indeed_o contain_v other_o matter_n and_o

main_a design_n and_o business_n of_o those_o holy_a book_n be_v to_o foretell_v christ_n by_o those_o character_n of_o his_o person_n and_o circumstance_n of_o his_o appearance_n that_o shall_v demonstrate_v he_o afterward_o and_o though_o upon_o other_o account_v the_o prophet_n have_v their_o several_a argument_n of_o write_v yet_o in_o this_o they_o all_o conspire_v as_o st._n peter_n

might_n in_o great_a part_n be_v make_v good_a by_o produce_v the_o clear_a prophecy_n of_o all_o concern_v christ_n those_o which_o speak_v direct_o of_o he_o and_o of_o nothing_o else_o but_o those_o circumstance_n by_o which_o he_o shall_v be_v know_v of_o this_o sort_n be_v that_o prediction_n of_o jacob_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v before_o the_o final_a subversion_n of_o the_o jewish_a state_n the_o sceptre_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o judah_n till_o shiloh_n come_v and_o that_o of_o daniel_n seventy_o week_n which_o punctual_o fix_v the_o time_n of_o his_o manifestation_n and_o suffering_n from_o the_o persian_a king_n decree_n for_o the_o rebuilding_n the_o wall_n of_o jerusalem_n but_o beside_o such_o prophecy_n as_o these_o there_o be_v a_o great_a abundance_n of_o another_o sort_n such_o namely_o as_o be_v mix_v with_o some_o thing_n which_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o themselves_o or_o other_o of_o which_o kind_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v one_o instance_n which_o st._n peter_n with_o good_a success_n allege_v to_o the_o jew_n act_n 2.25_o david_n speak_v concern_v he_o the_o lord_n be_v on_o my_o right_a hand_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v therefore_o do_v my_o heart_n rejoice_v and_o my_o tongue_n be_v glad_a moreover_o also_o my_o flesh_n shall_v rest_v in_o hope_n because_o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n neither_o will_v thou_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n now_o the_o former_a expression_n and_o indeed_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o psalm_n may_v well_o be_v apply_v to_o david_n himself_o but_o the_o latter_a be_v too_o magnificent_a to_o be_v true_a of_o he_o in_o any_o good_a sense_n and_o therefore_o st._n peter_n argue_v from_o hence_o in_o this_o manner_n man_n and_o

ever_o since_o the_o pharisee_n time_n who_o be_v a_o sect_n of_o full_a three_o hundred_o year_n stand_v be_v teach_v to_o pretend_v tradition_n for_o the_o innovation_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o for_o this_o among_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o pretend_v that_o because_o such_o and_o such_o traditionary_a doctrine_n be_v in_o such_o a_o age_n teach_v without_o control_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v teach_v so_o from_o the_o very_a first_o 4._o that_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o stick_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n deliver_v to_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o examine_v all_o doctrine_n and_o pretence_n by_o this_o rule_n for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v indeed_o the_o rule_n whereby_o we_o be_v to_o try_v that_o pretence_n that_o there_o be_v another_o rule_n viz._n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n and_o if_o that_o other_o pretend_a rule_n do_v in_o any_o thing_n contradict_v the_o scripture_n most_o certain_o it_o be_v but_o a_o pretend_a rule_n and_o to_o be_v reject_v to_o deal_v plain_o this_o same_o plain_a oral_a tradition_n be_v never_o pretend_v for_o any_o good_a either_o by_o jew_n or_o christian_n nor_o make_v use_n of_o but_o to_o advance_v and_o protect_v some_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n that_o stand_v condemn_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o after_o so_o long_a experience_n have_v of_o the_o mischief_n as_o well_o as_o vanity_n of_o this_o pretence_n it_o be_v perhaps_o not_o unreasonable_a for_o any_o christian_n to_o reject_v the_o argument_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n without_o any_o more_o ado_n and_o to_o entertain_v no_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n which_o can_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n nor_o to_o entertain_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o that_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o let_v man_n talk_v of_o tradition_n or_o any_o other_o authority_n as_o long_o as_o they_o please_v and_o now_o i_o question_v not_o but_o this_o discourse_n will_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o convince_a but_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v not_o certain_a that_o the_o

in_o that_o manner_n that_o if_o the_o traditionary_a doctrine_n be_v not_o true_a we_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n if_o we_o will_v live_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o temptation_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v otherwise_o than_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n let_v we_o often_o think_v that_o here_o we_o have_v no_o continue_a place_n we_o must_v not_o always_o live_v here_o but_o that_o in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n we_o be_v to_o go_v into_o another_o world_n and_o to_o appear_v before_o our_o

consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o strong_a argument_n in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v persuade_v by_o it_o to_o do_v according_o and_o this_o will_n above_o all_o thing_n establish_v we_o in_o the_o
