another_o weak_a what_o the_o cause_n be_v why_o god_n order_n thing_n thus_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v but_o it_o be_v instead_o of_o a_o thousand_o reason_n to_o i_o that_o i_o can_v show_v that_o all_o this_o be_v order_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o as_o god_n be_v infinite_o above_o all_o humane_a reason_n so_o it_o be_v to_o i_o more_o than_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o i_o know_v that_o god_n do_v it_o so_o that_o in_o this_o matter_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o produce_v any_o thing_n new_a for_o when_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n it_o be_v as_o sufficient_a as_o a_o million_o of_o reason_n neither_o shall_v we_o in_o these_o case_n which_o depend_v on_o god_n will_n take_v the_o liberty_n of_o say_v that_o this_o be_v just_a and_o that_o be_v unjust_a because_o whatsoever_o you_o see_v and_o be_v convince_v of_o to_o be_v do_v by_o god_n you_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o confess_v to_o be_v the_o high_a justice_n now_o all_o this_o may_v be_v quick_o and_o with_o strength_n of_o reason_n say_v concern_v god_n government_n and_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o necessary_a that_o i_o shall_v offer_v to_o prove_v that_o by_o argument_n which_o be_v more_o than_o prove_v since_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o read_v that_o god_n have_v say_v that_o he_o do_v always_o behold_v the_o earth_n for_o that_o very_a reason_n we_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v behold_v it_o since_o he_o himself_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o do_v so_o so_o when_o we_o read_v that_o he_o rule_v all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o be_v from_o thence_o certain_a that_o he_o do_v rule_v they_o because_o he_o testify_v that_o he_o do_v so_o thus_o when_o we_o read_v that_o he_o dispense_v all_o thing_n by_o a_o present_a judgement_n it_o be_v manifest_a and_o plain_a to_o we_o that_o he_o do_v exercise_v such_o judgement_n because_o we_o have_v his_o affirmation_n for_o it_o all_o other_o to_o wit_n humane_a assertion_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o reason_n and_o witness_n to_o support_v they_o but_o god_n word_n be_v its_o own_o witness_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v speak_v by_o perfect_a truth_n itself_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v a_o most_o perfect_a testimony_n of_o truth_n however_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o since_o god_n have_v be_v please_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o give_v we_o a_o knowledge_n as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o secret_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n for_o the_o oracle_n of_o sacred_a scripture_n be_v in_o some_o sense_n the_o mind_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v not_o conceal_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v think_v fit_a shall_v be_v either_o know_v or_o declare_v by_o his_o servant_n only_o one_o thing_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v before_o i_o begin_v whether_o i_o be_o to_o argue_v with_o christian_n or_o with_o pagan_n if_o it_o be_v with_o christian_n i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o i_o shall_v prove_v my_o point_n but_o if_o with_o pagan_n i_o scorn_v to_o offer_v at_o it_o not_o that_o i_o want_v sufficient_a argument_n but_o that_o i_o have_v no_o hope_n they_o will_v be_v ever_o the_o better_a for_o what_o i_o say_v for_o pain_n and_o labour_n be_v throw_v away_o upon_o a_o obstinate_a hearer_n that_o will_v never_o be_v convince_v however_o since_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o one_o who_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_a who_o will_v not_o willing_o be_v think_v one_o i_o will_v deal_v with_o he_o as_o with_o a_o christian_a and_o although_o any_o one_o shall_v be_v taint_v with_o impious_a and_o paganish_a infidelity_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o i_o if_o what_o i_o offer_v be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o christian_n ii_o your_o objection_n then_o be_v how_o come_v we_o christian_n who_o believe_v in_o god_n to_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o other_o man_n i_o can_v give_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o your_o question_n from_o the_o word_n the_o apostle_n use_v to_o the_o church_n that_o 3._o 1_o thes_n 3._o v._n 3._o no_o man_n shall_v be_v move_v by_o affliction_n for_o yourselves_o know_v that_o we_o be_v appoint_v thereunto_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o apostle_n tell_v that_o we_o be_v call_v by_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v endure_v affliction_n misery_n and_o distress_n what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o we_o suffer_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_a since_o it_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o warfare_n to_o do_v so_o but_o there_o be_v very_o few_o who_o will_v relish_v this_o doctrine_n but_o rather_o think_v that_o as_o the_o christian_n be_v more_o religious_a than_o other_o sect_n so_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o a_o reward_n of_o their_o faith_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v more_o powerful_a than_o other_o man_n for_o the_o present_n let_v we_o aquiesce_v in_o this_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n be_v of_o what_o faith_n be_v and_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n faithful_o for_o we_o who_o will_v have_v the_o reward_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o this_o world_n to_o be_v so_o very_a ample_n aught_o at_o least_o to_o bestow_v some_o thought_n what_o sort_v of_o believe_v or_o faith_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v what_o then_o be_v faith_n or_o the_o act_n of_o believe_v i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v that_o a_o man_n faithful_o believe_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n and_o sincere_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o as_o the_o servant_n and_o steward_n of_o great_a man_n who_o be_v entrust_v with_o all_o their_o master_n good_n and_o store_n can_v never_o be_v esteem_v faithful_a if_o they_o squander_v what_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o care_n so_o be_v christian_n man_n unfaithful_a if_o they_o

but_o all_o those_o thing_n by_o which_o we_o gain_v our_o belief_n that_o be_v those_o very_a thing_n by_o which_o we_o be_v christian_n as_o first_o the_o law_n than_o the_o prophet_n three_o the_o
