such_o a_o impropriety_n of_o language_n as_o all_o their_o learning_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v it_o be_v a_o attribute_n that_o do_v only_o predicate_v essential_o of_o the_o being_n of_o god_n and_o be_v indeed_o incommunicable_a to_o the_o creature_n who_o have_v nothing_o that_o be_v divine_a or_o spiritual_a but_o by_o participation_n for_o though_o the_o text_n say_v that_o saint_n be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n yet_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o because_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o divine_a thing_n that_o therefore_o they_o be_v divine_a because_o participation_n do_v not_o true_o predicate_v of_o those_o essence_n to_o which_o they_o be_v communicate_v but_o of_o that_o be_v from_o whence_o they_o flow_v for_o man_n participate_v of_o the_o light_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o it_o can_v be_v true_o predicate_v of_o man_n that_o either_o they_o be_v the_o sun_n nor_o true_o and_o univocal_o that_o they_o be_v of_o a_o solary_a nature_n but_o only_o that_o participate_n of_o its_o influence_n and_o operation_n they_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v heatn_v and_o enlighten_v for_o though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o english_a translate_v john_n the_o divine_a whereby_o those_o that_o understand_v not_o the_o greek_a be_v mislead_v and_o thereby_o draw_v to_o give_v that_o title_n to_o their_o priest_n who_o blasphemous_o assume_v it_o to_o themselves_o yet_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v much_o difference_n betwixt_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o and_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o one_o that_o speak_v of_o god_n or_o divine_a thing_n and_o one_o that_o be_v divine_a the_o scot_n therefore_o have_v a_o more_o apposite_a and_o warrantable_a epithet_n who_o seldom_o or_o never_o call_v their_o minister_n divine_n but_o theologue_n and_o we_o have_v many_o can_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o bishop_n for_o have_v the_o title_n of_o lord_n or_o grace_n give_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o themselves_o can_v swallow_v this_o title_n of_o be_v divine_n which_o be_v more_o unseemly_a unfit_a and_o unwarrantable_a 2._o another_o expedient_a that_o i_o shall_v offer_v in_o this_o case_n be_v that_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v as_o the_o seamless_a coat_n of_o christ_n may_v not_o be_v rend_v and_o tear_v with_o the_o carnal_a instrument_n of_o man_n wit_n and_o reason_n nor_o model_v or_o methodise_v as_o a_o human_a art_n or_o science_n but_o lay_v aside_o in_o scholastic_a exercise_n as_o a_o sacred_a and_o seal_a book_n 2._o lest_o they_o offer_v strange_a fire_n upon_o god_n altar_n perish_v as_o other_o have_v do_v for_o in_o the_o day_n of_o man_n light_n the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v cover_v with_o a_o cloud_n and_o in_o the_o night_n of_o his_o darkness_n there_o will_v be_v fire_n 38._o therefore_o let_v not_o man_n journey_n until_o the_o cloud_n be_v take_v up_o or_o the_o fire_n appear_v otherwise_o they_o must_v know_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o lead_v they_o nor_o go_v before_o they_o and_o indeed_o whatsoever_o the_o proud_a and_o deceitful_a heart_n of_o man_n may_v imagine_v the_o scripture_n be_v a_o seal_a book_n 12._o for_o so_o the_o prophet_n say_v the_o vision_n of_o all_o be_v become_v as_o the_o word_n of_o a_o book_n that_o be_v seal_v which_o man_n deliver_v to_o one_o that_o be_v learned_a say_v read_v this_o i_o pray_v thou_o and_o he_o say_v i_o can_v for_o it_o be_v seal_v and_o the_o book_n be_v deliver_v to_o he_o that_o be_v not_o learned_a say_v read_v this_o i_o pray_v thou_o and_o he_o say_v i_o be_o not_o learned_a what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o seal_a book_n both_o to_o the_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o be_v seal_v with_o seven_o seal_n 5._o and_o no_o man_n in_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n nor_o in_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v find_v worthy_a to_o open_v this_o book_n and_o to_o unclose_v the_o seven_o seal_n thereof_o but_o only_o the_o strong_a lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n and_o therefore_o let_v school_n not_o touch_v it_o lest_o it_o be_v their_o destruction_n for_o unless_o they_o leave_v the_o lord_n own_o work_n to_o himself_o and_o cease_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o scornful_a the_o lord_n will_v laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v 1.7_o and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o sore_a displeasure_n neither_o will_v he_o bless_v they_o in_o their_o labour_n nor_o prosper_v they_o in_o their_o exercise_n nay_o until_o all_o the_o magistrate_n and_o eldership_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o profess_v his_o name_n take_v off_o their_o crown_n and_o lay_v they_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o learn_v to_o practise_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n our_o saviour_n counsel_n to_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n and_o to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n and_o not_o at_o all_o to_o intermeddle_v with_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n misery_n and_o destruction_n will_v follow_v they_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v require_v the_o blood_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n o_o therefore_o that_o they_o will_v kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a 2.12_o and_o so_o they_o perish_v from_o the_o way_n of_o everlasting_a truth_n for_o when_o
