contain_v more_o than_o be_v in_o the_o premise_n for_o their_o argument_n have_v only_o aim_v to_o prove_v that_o man_n apprehension_n of_o thing_n spiritual_a be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n so_o that_o their_o diversity_n be_v unavoidable_a but_o when_o they_o conclude_v they_o join_v with_o these_o apprehension_n the_o exercise_n of_o their_o conscience_n of_o which_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n in_o the_o premise_n and_o as_o their_o way_n of_o argue_v be_v fallacious_a so_o be_v the_o proposition_n themselves_o not_o true_a for_o 1._o this_o proposition_n that_o man_n

false_a for_o all_o those_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v if_o they_o do_v not_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n their_o not_o apprehension_n be_v 1_o impute_v unto_o they_o as_o their_o sin_n

be_v say_v to_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o can_v not_o be_v charge_v upon_o they_o have_v it_o not_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o apprehend_v those_o spiritual_a thing_n when_o preach_v unto_o they_o 2_o they_o be_v punish_v for_o it_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v a_o lie_n and_o the_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n be_v pass_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v damn_v who_o believe_v not_o the_o

they_o strong_a delusion_n to_o believe_v a_o lie_n when_o it_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n preach_v to_o they_o than_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a to_o have_v the_o same_o apprehension_n because_o the_o truth_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o vary_v not_o in_o itself_o and_o so_o the_o apprehension_n must_v be_v all_o the_o same_o in_o their_o nature_n i._n e._n in_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o thing_n apprehend_v although_o there_o may_v be_v difference_n as_o to_o the_o degree_n it_o may_v be_v indeed_o more_o clear_a in_o one_o than_o another_o one_o may_v apprehend_v all_o the_o part_n see_v further_o into_o the_o consequence_n of_o thing_n than_o other_o yet_o still_o the_o apprehension_n may_v be_v the_o same_o in_o essence_n if_o man_n will_v lay_v down_o their_o prejudices_fw-la part_n with_o their_o lust_n repudiate_v their_o carnal_a interest_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o tyranny_n of_o custom_n that_o which_o they_o offer_v for_o a_o proof_n be_v full_a of_o ambiguity_n as_o if_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o be_v understand_v for_o when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o thing_n supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o revelation_n from_o himself_o we_o do_v not_o

they_o mean_v this_o latter_a they_o shall_v have_v prove_v it_o and_o when_o they_o say_v that_o divine_a revelation_n can_v not_o be_v apprehend_v or_o assent_v unto_o but_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o measure_n of_o that_o light_n which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o communicate_v unto_o they_o to_o who_o such_o revelation_n be_v make_v we_o be_v again_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o light_n different_a from_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n for_o the_o truth_n which_o god_n reveal_v be_v the_o light_n itself_o which_o like_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n make_v itself_o as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v see_v when_o they_o say_v this_o light_n do_v not_o equal_o effect_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n we_o grant_v it_o but_o yet_o we_o can_v as_o they_o do_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o shall_v do_v so_o for_o although_o there_o be_v divers_a way_n and_o mean_n of_o communicate_v the_o truth_n yet_o however_o god_n may_v give_v to_o all_o they_o to_o who_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v sufficient_a mean_n to_o apprehend_v and_o acknowledge_v his_o truth_n and_o although_o there_o be_v different_a disposition_n of_o they_o to_o who_o the_o word_n be_v propose_v yet_o those_o disposition_n whereby_o man_n resist_v and_o will_v not_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n be_v from_o themselves_o and_o
