believer_n and_o the_o reason_n i_o give_v why_o i_o have_v not_o go_v through_o the_o write_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o collect_v the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o have_v through_o the_o preach_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v because_o those_o fundamental_a article_n be_v in_o those_o epistle_n promiscuous_o and_o without_o distinction_n mix_v with_o other_o truth_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v find_v and_o discern_v those_o great_a and_o necessary_a point_n best_a in_o the_o preach_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o those_o who_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o the_o faith_n and_o unconvert_v this_o as_o far_o as_o i_o know_v my_o own_o thought_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v as_o mr._n edward_n complain_n p._n 109._o not_o proceed_v to_o the_o epistle_n and_o not_o give_v a_o account_n of_o they_o as_o i_o have_v do_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o acts._n this_o i_o imagine_v i_o have_v in_o the_o close_a of_o my_o book_n so_o full_o and_o clear_o express_v particular_o p._n 125._o that_o i_o suppose_v no_o body_n how_o willing_a soever_o can_v have_v mistake_v i_o but_o this_o gentleman_n be_v so_o much_o better_o acquaint_v with_o i_o than_o i_o be_o with_o myself_o see_v so_o deep_o into_o my_o heart_n and_o know_v so_o perfect_o every_o thing_n that_o pass_v there_o that_o he_o with_o assurance_n tell_v the_o world_n p._n 109._o that_o i_o purposely_o omit_v the_o epistolary_a write_n of_o the_o apostle_n because_o they_o be_v fraught_v with_o other_o fundamental_a doctrine_n beside_o that_o one_o which_o i_o mention_v and_o then_o he_o go_v on_o to_o enumerate_v those_o fundamental_a article_n p._n 110_o 111._o viz._n the_o corruption_n and_o degeneracy_n of_o humane_a nature_n with_o the_o true_a original_a of_o it_o the_o defection_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n the_o propagation_n of_o sin_n and_o mortality_n our_o restoration_n and_o reconciliation_n by_o christ_n blood_n the_o

sufficient_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n christ_n righteousness_n our_o justification_n by_o it_o election_n adoption_n sanctification_n save_v faith_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o new_a

give_v i_o leave_v now_o to_o ask_v you_o serious_o whether_o these_o which_o you_o have_v here_o set_v down_o under_o the_o title_n of_o fundamental_a doctrine_n be_v such_o when_o reduce_v to_o proposition_n that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v require_v to_o be_v believe_v to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian_n and_o such_o as_o without_o the_o actual_a belief_n thereof_o he_o can_v be_v save_v if_o they_o be_v not_o so_o every_o one_o of_o they_o you_o may_v call_v they_o fundamental_a doctrine_n as_o much_o as_o you_o please_v they_o be_v not_o of_o those_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n i_o be_v speak_v of_o which_o be_v only_o such_o as_o be_v require_v to_o be_v actual_o believe_v to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian._n if_o you_o say_v some_o of_o they_o be_v such_o necessary_a point_n of_o faith_n and_o other_o not_o you_o by_o this_o specious_a list_n of_o well-sounding_a but_o unexplain_v term_n arbitrary_o collect_v only_o make_v good_a what_o i_o have_v say_v viz._n that_o the_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n be_v in_o the_o epistle_n promiscuous_o deliver_v with_o other_o truth_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v distinguish_v but_o by_o some_o other_o mark_n than_o be_v bare_o find_v in_o the_o epistle_n if_o you_o say_v that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n i_o shall_v then_o desire_v you_o to_o reduce_v they_o to_o so_o many_o plain_a doctrine_n and_o then_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v every_o one_o of_o they_o require_v to_o be_v believe_v by_o every_o christian_a man_n to_o make_v he_o a_o member_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n for_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o tell_v we_o as_o you_o do_v that_o the_o corruption_n and_o degeneracy_n of_o humane_a nature_n with_o the_o true_a original_a of_o it_o the_o defection_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n the_o propagation_n of_o sin_n and_o mortality_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a head_n of_o christian_a divinity_n but_o you_o be_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v the_o proposition_n we_o be_v require_v to_o believe_v concern_v this_o matter_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o some_o proposition_n and_o than_o it_o will_v remain_v to_o be_v prove_v that_o these_o article_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v to_o salvation_n the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v take_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n to_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n i_o mean_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v but_o you_o have_v now_o better_o think_v on_o it_o and_o be_v please_v

church_n which_o have_v be_v so_o cruel_o tear_v about_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o the_o great_a reproach_n of_o christian_a charity_n and_o scandal_n of_o our_o true_a religion_n mr._n ed_n have_v thus_o with_o two_o learned_a term_n of_o essential_a and_o integral_a part_n sufficient_o prove_v the_o matter_n in_o question_n viz._n that_o all_o those_o he_o have_v

unnatural_a the_o spirit_n of_o creed-making_a always_o arise_v from_o a_o heat_n of_o zeal_n for_o our_o own_o opinion_n and_o warm_a endeavour_n by_o all_o way_n possible_a to_o decry_v and_o bear_v
