the_o evidence_n that_o can_v be_v in_o their_o circumstance_n they_o have_v what_o be_v sufficient_a and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v presume_v necessary_a the_o evidence_n be_v sufficient_a if_o it_o prove_v there_o be_v person_n so_o inspire_v that_o in_o confirmation_n of_o it_o they_o wrought_v miracle_n and_o that_o those_o person_n write_v certain_a book_n which_o contain_v the_o record_n of_o those_o revelation_n and_o miracle_n and_o which_o book_n be_v the_o same_o that_o now_o go_v under_o their_o name_n and_o if_o they_o have_v all_o the_o evidence_n for_o this_o that_o in_o their_o circumstance_n can_v be_v reasonable_o demand_v they_o have_v that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a and_o what_o evidence_n can_v be_v give_v of_o matter_n transact_v 1600_o year_n ago_o but_o testimony_n and_o what_o be_v usual_o call_v moral_a evidence_n a_o way_n of_o proof_n that_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v bear_v and_o bear_v of_o such_o parent_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o faith_n and_o trust_n in_o mankind_n 2._o though_o these_o of_o after-age_n want_v the_o evidence_n those_o cotemporary_n of_o inspire_a person_n have_v yet_o they_o have_v some_o advantage_n above_o they_o for_o they_o have_v not_o only_o the_o concurrent_a evidence_n of_o all_o before_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o judgement_n that_o have_v be_v downward_o from_o those_o time_n the_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o mankind_n for_o wisdom_n and_o impartial_a consideration_n but_o have_v live_v to_o see_v the_o whole_a scheme_n of_o revelation_n complete_v and_o at_o once_o place_v in_o their_o view_n 1._o they_o can_v by_o that_o mean_n compare_v one_o part_n with_o the_o other_o and_o see_v how_o all_o agree_v and_o make_v up_o one_o entire_a and_o coherent_a body_n 2._o they_o can_v compare_v the_o event_n already_o pass_v with_o the_o prediction_n and_o see_v how_o all_o come_v on_o and_o in_o their_o season_n be_v fulfil_v and_o how_o the_o former_a be_v still_o confirm_v by_o the_o latter_a in_o all_o which_o there_o appear_v a_o admirable_a contrivance_n of_o the_o divine_a prescience_n in_o describe_v those_o thing_n so_o long_o beforehand_o and_o of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o power_n in_o carry_v on_o the_o prophetic_a line_n through_o all_o the_o stage_n of_o second_o cause_n and_o a_o infinite_a variety_n of_o event_n to_o the_o last_o moment_n of_o its_o accomplishment_n and_o to_o all_o which_o a_o watchful_a providence_n of_o the_o almighty_a must_v constant_o attend_v 3._o they_o have_v see_v the_o wonderful_a success_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o verification_n of_o prophecy_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o opposition_n make_v to_o it_o by_o the_o power_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o world_n back_v with_o the_o venom_n spite_n and_o malice_n of_o inveterate_a enemy_n 4._o they_o have_v see_v the_o wonderful_a preservation_n of_o it_o through_o all_o the_o various_a scene_n of_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n and_o how_o miraculous_o it_o have_v be_v restore_v out_o of_o the_o low_a abyss_n when_o seem_o and_o as_o to_o all_o outward_a appearance_n beyond_o recovery_n so_o that_o we_o see_v how_o in_o every_o case_n there_o be_v way_n chalk_v out_o for_o our_o satisfaction_n in_o this_o argument_n of_o a_o divine_a revelation_n the_o case_n of_o latter_a age_n not_o except_v and_o therefore_o that_o unbelief_n be_v now_o as_o inexcusable_a after_o the_o time_n of_o revelation_n as_o in_o those_o time_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v and_o sometime_o to_o plead_v that_o if_o we_o have_v live_v in_o the_o apostolical_a age_n when_o the_o revelation_n be_v attend_v with_o the_o irrefragable_a testimony_n of_o many_o glorious_a miracle_n we_o shall_v then_o have_v be_v inexcusable_a if_o we_o have_v remain_v incredulous_a amid_o those_o instance_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n or_o impenitent_a under_o the_o force_n of_o such_o convince_a argument_n and_o that_o the_o want_n of_o these_o may_v just_o be_v plead_v for_o our_o excuse_n but_o this_o be_v much_o like_o those_o jew_n matth._n 23.30_o that_o say_v if_o we_o have_v be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o father_n we_o will_v not_o have_v be_v partaker_n with_o they_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o prophet_n when_o yet_o they_o be_v act_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o i_o may_v say_v those_o that_o believe_v not_o now_o under_o all_o the_o motive_n of_o credibility_n will_v not_o have_v believe_v any_o more_o than_o the_o jew_n do_v that_o be_v eye_n and_o ear-witness_n of_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n and_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o remain_v to_o the_o last_o incredulous_a such_o be_v incurable_a for_o if_o they_o hear_v not_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o testimony_n yet_o remain_v neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o whole_a process_n of_o that_o testimony_n give_v by_o they_o be_v afresh_o represent_v to_o they_o the_o best_a man_n be_v the_o best_a judge_n and_o the_o better_a he_o be_v the_o more_o capable_a he_o be_v of_o judge_v according_a to_o that_o memorable_a say_v of_o our_o saviour_n john_n 7.17_o if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o the_o doctrine_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o whether_o i_o speak_v of_o myself_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v with_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n james_n 1.21_o lay_v apart_o all_o filthiness_n and_o superfluity_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o receive_v with_o meekness_n and_o humility_n the_o ingraft_v word_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v your_o soul_n but_o be_v you_o doer_n of_o the_o word_n and_o not_o hearer_n only_o deceive_v your_o own_o self_n
