have_v from_o heathen_a man_n quest._n but_o this_o question_n may_v now_o be_v make_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o these_o book_n which_o we_o have_v as_o write_v by_o moses_n that_o these_o be_v they_o that_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n in_o they_o or_o supposititious_a prophecy_n put_v in_o answ._n you_o have_v the_o jew_n agree_v with_o the_o christian_n who_o be_v enemy_n and_o the_o jew_n keep_v it_o exact_o yet_o they_o agree_v with_o we_o object_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v true_a answ._n they_o have_v testimony_n from_o the_o samaritan_n and_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o there_o be_v once_o a_o rend_v make_v be_v never_o reconcile_v again_o yet_o in_o the_o samaritan_n bible_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o to_o any_o purpose_n now_o add_v to_o this_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n from_o christ_n time_n downward_o still_o it_o have_v continue_v so_o as_o in_o eusebius_n and_o baronius_n you_o shall_v see_v plentiful_a testimony_n thereof_o 3._o the_o three_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o themselves_o if_o you_o consider_v but_o these_o three_o thing_n 1_o the_o majesty_n and_o plainness_n of_o the_o stile_n majesty_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o expression_n a_o mere_a relation_n and_o no_o more_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o word_n etc._n etc._n where_o do_v any_o book_n express_v itself_o in_o a_o manner_n in_o the_o relation_n of_o any_o story_n so_o as_o that_o it_o carry_v evidence_n from_o god_n so_o that_o junius_n read_v the_o first_o chapter_n of_o john_n be_v strike_v with_o a_o amazement_n by_o a_o kind_n of_o divine_a and_o stupendous_a authority_n and_o so_o he_o be_v convert_v from_o atheism_n as_o himself_o say_v in_o his_o life_n purity_n 2_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n if_o a_o man_n will_v deceive_v the_o world_n than_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o teach_v must_v needs_o be_v to_o please_v man_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v quite_o contrary_a it_o tie_v man_n to_o strict_a rule_n and_o therefore_o see_v how_o it_o be_v etertain_v and_o how_o hard_o it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o keep_v it_o in_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n it_o come_v from_o god_n if_o the_o scripture_n be_v deliver_v by_o man_n then_o either_o by_o good_a man_n or_o by_o bad_a if_o by_o holy_a man_n than_o they_o will_v speak_v the_o truth_n and_o not_o lie_v if_o by_o bad_a man_n than_o they_o will_v never_o have_v set_v down_o such_o strict_a rule_n of_o doctrine_n that_o they_o must_v live_v by_o and_o which_o condemn_v themselves_o 3_o consider_v the_o antiquity_n of_o they_o antiquity_n they_o be_v before_o all_o other_o heathen_a story_n which_o will_v answer_v a_o objection_n namely_o why_o there_o be_v no_o more_o testimony_n from_o they_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o when_o scripture_n end_v their_o write_n do_v but_o begin_v there_o be_v little_a use_n and_o trade_n of_o learning_n in_o those_o day_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o grecian_n be_v the_o first_o or_o rather_o the_o chaldee_n but_o there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o book_n write_v then_o as_o afterward_o now_o when_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v consider_v we_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o you_o find_v this_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n than_o this_o beget_v faith_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n we_o believe_v as_o here_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o there_o be_v one_o god._n i_o confess_v all_o this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v be_v not_o enough_o unless_o god_n infuse_v a_o inward_a light_n by_o his_o spirit_n to_o work_v this_o faith_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v enough_o leave_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o give_v evidence_n of_o themselves_o the_o four_o sermon_n hebrew_n 11.6_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v etc._n etc._n there_o be_v one_o reason_n more_o remain_v &_o that_o be_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n doubtless_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a strength_n church_n that_o so_o many_o generation_n since_o christ_n time_n and_o before_o have_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n deliver_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o that_o so_o many_o holy_a man_n as_o the_o martyr_n be_v and_o as_o the_o father_n be_v when_o they_o live_v that_o these_o all_o give_v testimony_n to_o this_o scripture_n in_o all_o age_n but_o yet_o we_o will_v add_v something_o to_o it_o because_o the_o papist_n have_v abuse_v this_o and_o say_v they_o will_v have_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o depend_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o testimony_n it_o have_v receive_v from_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n they_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v such_o a_o testimony_n as_o the_o present_a church_n give_v of_o it_o because_o say_v they_o that_o can_v err_v in_o nothing_o therefore_o not_o in_o this_o and_o therefore_o they_o say_v this_o be_v the_o bible_n and_o the_o very_o dictate_v of_o the_o pope_n in_o cathedrâ_fw-la with_o his_o council_n some_o say_v make_v it_o so_o and_o you_o must_v receive_v it_o for_o scripture_n upon_o this_o ground_n without_o any_o further_a inquiry_n but_o with_o we_o who_o do_v not_o receive_v that_o conclusion_n that_o the_o church_n can_v err_v it_o be_v out_o of_o question_n that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o depend_v on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n but_o yet_o we_o will_v give_v you_o this_o reason_n against_o it_o ask_v that_o church_n that_o synod_n of_o man_n what_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o church_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n sure_o they_o will_v give_v the_o same_o answer_n that_o we_o shall_v deliver_v unto_o you_o that_o it_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o scripture_n itself_o which_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o great_a authority_n than_o the_o church_n itself_o for_o the_o declaration_n of_o themselves_o and_o the_o scripture_n manifestation_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v of_o more_o force_n than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o cause_n have_v much_o more_o strength_n than_o the_o effect_n again_o the_o church_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o scripture_n till_o it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o church_n which_o can_v be_v but_o by_o the_o scripture_n moreover_o the_o scripture_n have_v a_o testimony_n more_o ancient_a than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o can_v receive_v its_o authority_n from_o any_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o first_o truth_n it_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o any_o other_o it_o be_v the_o confession_n of_o their_o own_o writer_n that_o theologia_n non_fw-la est_fw-la argumentativa_fw-la theologie_n be_v not_o argumentative_a to_o prove_v its_o own_o principle_n but_o only_o our_o deduction_n out_o of_o it_o as_o also_o they_o say_v we_o can_v prove_v the_o scripture_n probando_fw-la sed_fw-la solvendo_fw-la by_o answer_v and_o resolve_v objection_n make_v against_o it_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n you_o see_v it_o be_v so_o as_o the_o standard_n that_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o itself_o the_o sun_n that_o show_v light_a to_o all_o thing_n else_o can_v be_v know_v by_o any_o other_o light_n but_o its_o own_o so_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o other_o truth_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o those_o truth_n that_o it_o carry_v in_o itself_o we_o have_v only_o this_o word_n to_o be_v add_v more_o concern_v the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v observe_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o write_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v write_v by_o holy_a man_n inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n man_n and_o all_o man_n write_n in_o the_o world_n in_o man_n write_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o man_n be_v praise_v and_o extol_v something_o speak_v of_o their_o wisdom_n and_o of_o their_o courage_n and_o what_o act_n they_o have_v do_v there_o be_v no_o story_n of_o any_o man_n but_o you_o shall_v find_v something_o of_o his_o praise_n in_o it_o but_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o quite_o contrary_a in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o give_v to_o man_n but_o all_o to_o god_n himself_o as_o moses_n david_n paul_n and_o all_o the_o worthy_n in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o give_v to_o they_o but_o of_o david_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o walk_v wise_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o strength_n so_o when_o they_o have_v any_o victory_n it_o be_v not_o through_o their_o own_o courage_n or_o stratagem_n that_o they_o use_v but_o the_o lord_n do_v give_v their_o enemy_n into_o

their_o hand_n and_o paul_n that_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o convert_v so_o many_o thousand_o he_o ascribe_v nothing_o to_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v with_o he_o so_o samson_n be_v strong_a but_o yet_o he_o have_v his_o strength_n from_o god_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v write_v by_o holy_a man_n inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n see_v we_o have_v such_o just_a ground_n to_o believe_v use_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n principle_n and_o that_o this_o word_n which_o testify_v of_o he_o be_v indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god._n this_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o it_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o we_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o confirm_v this_o first_o principle_n and_o make_v it_o sure_a see_v all_o the_o rest_n be_v build_v upon_o it_o therefore_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o weigh_v it_o that_o we_o may_v give_v full_a consent_n to_o it_o and_o not_o a_o weak_a one_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o principle_n that_o need_v not_o to_o be_v thus_o urge_v or_o make_v question_n of_o therefore_o what_o need_v so_o many_o reason_n to_o prove_v it_o answ._n even_o the_o strong_a among_o we_o have_v still_o need_v to_o increase_v our_o faith_n in_o this_o point_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o attend_v to_o it_o and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n reason_n because_o these_o principle_n though_o they_o be_v so_o common_a 1._o yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o saint_n principle_n and_o that_o with_o which_o common_a man_n believe_v they_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n both_o of_o they_o do_v believe_v and_o they_o speak_v as_o they_o think_v yet_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o difference_n a_o regenerate_a man_n have_v a_o further_a and_o a_o deep_a insight_n into_o these_o truth_n he_o give_v a_o more_o through_o and_o a_o strong_a assent_n to_o they_o 1._o but_o another_o man_n give_v a_o more_o slight_a and_o overly_o assent_n that_o faith_n with_o which_o they_o believe_v they_o be_v a_o faith_n that_o want_v depth_n of_o earth_n therefore_o if_o any_o strong_a temptation_n come_v upon_o they_o as_o fear_v of_o be_v put_v to_o death_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v soon_o shake_v off_o and_o do_v often_o fall_v away_o when_o they_o be_v put_v to_o it_o they_o shrink_v away_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n for_o their_o faith_n want_v depth_n of_o earth_n that_o be_v the_o assent_n they_o give_v to_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o a_o overly_o and_o superficial_a assent_n it_o do_v not_o take_v deep_a root_n in_o their_o soul_n and_o therefore_o it_o wither_v in_o time_n of_o temptation_n they_o do_v not_o so_o ponder_v they_o as_o other_o do_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o so_o ground_v in_o these_o first_o principle_n as_o other_o be_v though_o they_o have_v some_o hold_n 〈◊〉_d yet_o not_o so_o great_a a_o hold_n as_o the_o godly_a have_v so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o so_o firm_o establish_v so_o ground_v in_o the_o present_a truth_n they_o be_v not_o so_o root_v as_o the_o saint_n be_v 2._o that_o which_o breed_v this_o assent_n in_o they_o be_v but_o a_o common_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o that_o with_o which_o the_o saint_n believe_v they_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n infuse_v wrought_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o that_o which_o have_v a_o weak_a cause_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o weak_a effect_n that_o which_o be_v wrought_v by_o a_o common_a can_v be_v so_o strong_a a_o assent_n as_o that_o which_o be_v wrought_v by_o a_o infuse_a habit_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o saint_n the_o regenerate_a man_n 3_o build_v their_o hope_n comfort_n and_o happiness_n upon_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o principle_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o rule_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v his_o word_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o they_o be_v truth_n they_o build_v all_o upon_o these_o therefore_o if_o any_o doubt_n arise_v they_o can_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o faith_n have_v resolve_v they_o and_o wrought_v they_o out_o with_o another_o man_n it_o be_v not_o so_o he_o take_v these_o thing_n upon_o trust_n and_o believe_v they_o as_o other_o do_v but_o he_o do_v not_o much_o trouble_v himself_o about_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o doubt_n come_v against_o they_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o lie_v there_o and_o go_v on_o in_o a_o careless_a manner_n but_o with_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v not_o so_o they_o build_v their_o hope_n upon_o they_o do_v therefore_o resolve_v to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n they_o will_v be_v content_a to_o lose_v all_o for_o he_o if_o occasion_n require_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v upon_o sure_a ground_n but_o the_o other_o they_o do_v but_o receive_v upon_o trust_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o cleave_v to_o he_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o the_o saint_n do_v regenerate_v man_n have_v a_o lively_a and_o experimental_a knowledge_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n 4._o and_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v his_o word_n from_o the_o communion_n that_o they_o have_v have_v with_o this_o god_n and_o from_o the_o experience_n they_o have_v have_v of_o the_o truth_n deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n they_o know_v very_o well_o and_o that_o experimental_o what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o what_o they_o be_v once_o and_o what_o they_o be_v now_o what_o it_o be_v to_o envy_v the_o saint_n and_o what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o affection_n of_o love_n to_o they_o they_o know_v the_o time_n when_o they_o slight_v sin_n when_o they_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o it_o they_o know_v again_o the_o bitterness_n and_o sorrow_n of_o sin_n when_o the_o commandment_n come_v and_o show_v it_o unto_o they_o in_o its_o colour_n they_o know_v a_o time_n when_o they_o judge_v perverse_o of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n when_o they_o have_v a_o bad_a opinion_n of_o they_o and_o how_o now_o they_o be_v change_v beside_o they_o know_v how_o that_o once_o they_o do_v admire_v and_o magnify_v worldly_a excellency_n and_o preferment_n but_o since_o they_o be_v enlighten_v their_o opinion_n be_v otherwise_o i_o say_v they_o know_v all_o this_o experimental_o take_v the_o whole_a work_n of_o regeneration_n they_o know_v it_o in_o themselves_o and_o so_o for_o god_n himself_o as_o he_o be_v describe_v in_o the_o scripture_n such_o have_v they_o find_v he_o to_o themselves_o now_o where_o a_o man_n do_v know_v thing_n thus_o experimental_o it_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n than_o that_o which_o be_v by_o hearsay_n so_o that_o though_o there_o be_v a_o belief_n in_o they_o both_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o 2._o we_o must_v labour_v to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n in_o these_o principle_n because_o they_o be_v of_o exceed_v great_a moment_n and_o consequence_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n life_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v remote_a yet_o they_o be_v of_o more_o moment_n than_o any_o other_o as_o of_o a_o house_n you_o see_v a_o fair_a top_n but_o yet_o the_o foundation_n be_v of_o more_o moment_n and_o that_o can_v be_v see_v the_o stream_n be_v see_v but_o the_o wellhead_n can_v so_o all_o the_o action_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v build_v upon_o these_o principle_n and_o as_o they_o be_v more_o strong_o or_o weak_o believe_v so_o have_v they_o more_o or_o less_o

you_o see_v that_o man_n look_v great_a because_o they_o have_v get_v great_a man_n or_o prince_n to_o bear_v themselves_o upon_o but_o when_o man_n consider_v that_o they_o have_v the_o great_a god_n

this_o magnanimity_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v our_o god_n and_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o man_n faith_n such_o will_v be_v this_o greatness_n and_o magnanimity_n of_o

he_o look_v upon_o thing_n after_o another_o manner_n he_o have_v other_o thought_n and_o other_o affection_n than_o he_o have_v before_o and_o so_o will_v any_o man_n else_o if_o he_o be_v advance_v
