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

further_o it_o be_v because_o the_o matter_n will_v not_o permit_v he_o if_o you_o give_v he_o clay_n and_o straw_n he_o can_v make_v brick_n but_o if_o you_o give_v he_o nothing_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o so_o if_o you_o give_v he_o timber_n he_o can_v make_v a_o house_n but_o if_o you_o give_v he_o none_o of_o these_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o suppose_v now_o there_o be_v such_o a_o architect_n such_o a_o builder_n that_o if_o he_o do_v but_o imagine_v the_o model_n or_o frame_n of_o a_o house_n in_o his_o mind_n he_o can_v set_v it_o up_o of_o nothing_o or_o make_v material_n at_o his_o pleasure_n he_o can_v make_v it_o as_o big_a as_o he_o can_v conceive_v it_o than_o also_o he_o can_v make_v as_o many_o house_n as_o he_o can_v think_v of_o and_o in_o as_o great_a and_o large_a a_o manner_n as_o he_o can_v conceive_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o one_o there_o will_v be_v no_o restraint_n to_o he_o now_o the_o lord_n be_v such_o a_o builder_n whatsoever_o he_o conceive_v he_o can_v make_v it_o without_o any_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o restraint_n in_o his_o power_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n 4._o four_o consider_v that_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v equal_a and_o needs_o must_v be_v so_o because_o every_o attribute_n be_v his_o essence_n and_o we_o do_v but_o distinguish_v then_o in_o our_o understanding_n his_o omnipotency_n be_v but_o the_o active_a power_n his_o will_v the_o command_a and_o his_o understanding_n the_o direct_n we_o distinguish_v they_o thus_o but_o in_o he_o they_o be_v all_o one_o hence_o i_o reason_v thus_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o largeness_n and_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n what_o be_v it_o not_o able_a to_o conceive_v you_o know_v man_n be_v able_a to_o think_v much_o and_o angel_n more_o than_o man_n but_o god_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v infinite_o beyond_o they_o for_o his_o thought_n be_v above_o we_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n now_o whatsoever_o he_o can_v conceive_v his_o power_n be_v able_a to_o act_v it_o in_o man_n it_o be_v not_o so_o he_o imagine_v and_o will_v many_o thing_n but_o his_o power_n fall_v short_a because_o his_o faculty_n be_v not_o as_o large_a as_o the_o object_n but_o god_n can_v imagine_v infinite_o and_o his_o power_n be_v as_o large_a and_o infinite_a as_o his_o wisdom_n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v able_a to_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v infinite_a so_o psa_n 135._o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v to_o show_v that_o his_o power_n be_v as_o large_a as_o his_o will_n which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o any_o creature_n consider_v these_o thing_n for_o when_o you_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o put_v to_o it_o you_o shall_v find_v need_n of_o they_o to_o persuade_v you_o that_o god_n be_v almighty_a now_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o be_v make_v against_o this_o which_o be_v these_o object_n 1_o first_o why_o do_v god_n produce_v no_o infinite_a thing_n no_o infinite_a effect_n all_o his_o effect_n be_v finite_a therefore_o we_o can_v see_v by_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v that_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a answ._n it_o be_v true_a in_o natural_a cause_n and_o such_o cause_n as_o produce_v thing_n only_o like_a to_o themselves_o which_o be_v call_v univocal_a cause_n but_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o that_o distinction_n there_o the_o cause_n go_v not_o beyond_o the_o effect_n as_o fire_n beget_v fire_n and_o it_o can_v but_o beget_v it_o and_o it_o can_v go_v beyond_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a cause_n and_o produce_v effect_n like_a to_o itself_o so_o a_o lion_n beget_v a_o lion_n because_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a cause_n but_o there_o be_v cause_n wherein_o it_o be_v not_o so_o wherein_o you_o must_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o effect_n and_o therefore_o the_o cause_n do_v not_o go_v beyond_o it_o that_o be_v in_o voluntary_a cause_n wherein_o the_o cause_n not_o work_v necessary_o but_o by_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n and_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v much_o more_o than_o he_o do_v object_n 2_o 2._o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o god_n can_v do_v as_o thing_n that_o be_v past_a and_o have_v be_v he_o can_v cause_v they_o not_o to_o have_v be_v etc._n etc._n answ._n the_o reason_n why_o god_n can_v do_v these_o thing_n be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v a_o restraint_n of_o his_o power_n but_o because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v because_o he_o can_v make_v truth_n to_o be_v falsehood_n or_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whatsoever_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n he_o can_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o in_o thing_n simple_o possible_a therein_o consist_v his_o omnipotence_n as_o when_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o when_o the_o predicate_a be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o subject_n as_o a_o lion_n be_v a_o lion_n can_v be_v a_o man_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v therefore_o it_o be_v no_o impeachment_n to_o his_o omnipotence_n not_o to_o do_v it_o object_n 3_o 3._o god_n can_v sin_v god_n can_v deny_v himself_o he_o can_v lie_v etc._n etc._n answ._n we_o need_v not_o answer_v this_o for_o even_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v omnipotent_a because_o he_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v the_o sun_n be_v full_a of_o light_n it_o can_v be_v dark_a these_o be_v the_o expression_n which_o the_o scripture_n use_v as_o tit._n 1.2_o god_n can_v lie_v and_o 2_o tim._n 2.13_o god_n can_v deny_v himself_o finis_fw-la the_o eighteen_o sermon_n exod._n 3.13_o 14._o and_o moses_n say_v unto_o god_n behold_v when_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o shall_v say_v unto_o they_o the_o god_n of_o your_o father_n have_v send_v i_o unto_o you_o and_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o i_o what_o be_v his_o name_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v unto_o they_o and_o god_n say_v unto_o moses_n i_o be_o that_o i_o be_o etc._n etc._n object_n 4_o if_o god_n produce_v no_o infinite_a effect_n and_o yet_o be_v infinite_a in_o power_n that_o power_n which_o be_v never_o bring_v into_o act_n be_v in_o vain_a answ._n 1_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a when_o any_o power_n be_v appoint_v and_o destinate_a to_o any_o act_n it_o be_v so_o far_o in_o vain_a as_o it_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o that_o end_n and_o act_v as_o bread_n be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v if_o it_o do_v not_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o end_n to_o which_o it_o be_v make_v and_o so_o in_o vain_a i_o may_v say_v the_o same_o of_o every_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o end_n of_o god_n power_n to_o bring_v forth_o any_o effect_n answerable_a to_o itself_o for_o his_o power_n to_o speak_v proper_o have_v no_o end_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o it_o in_o other_o thing_n the_o cause_n be_v proportionable_a for_o its_o end_n but_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v for_o himself_o and_o therefore_o though_o he_o do_v not_o produce_v any_o such_o effect_n yet_o his_o power_n be_v infinite_a second_o when_o there_o be_v a_o repugnancy_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v no_o shorten_v or_o limitation_n of_o his_o power_n now_o a_o creature_n if_o it_o be_v a_o creature_n must_v be_v finite_a and_o the_o lord_n can_v do_v what_o may_v be_v do_v but_o to_o make_v a_o creature_n infinite_a be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o can_v but_o because_o the_o thing_n itself_o can_v be_v do_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o point_n use_v 1_o if_o god_n be_v almighty_a then_o let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o that_o have_v interest_n in_o he_o that_o can_v say_v they_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v they_o let_v they_o exceed_o rejoice_v in_o this_o that_o they_o have_v a_o almighty_a god_n for_o their_o
