faith_n god_n say_v irenaeus_n look_v upon_o abel_n sacrifice_n and_o not_o upon_o cain_n propter_fw-la ingenium_fw-la offerentium_fw-la qualis_fw-la est_fw-la enim_fw-la erga_fw-la deum_fw-la voluntas_fw-la offerentis_fw-la talis_fw-la est_fw-la erga_fw-la oblationem_fw-la voluntas_fw-la dei_fw-la such_o as_o be_v the_o sacrificer_n will_v towards_o god_n such_o be_v god_n will_n towards_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o therefore_o we_o may_v full_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o offering_n we_o must_v full_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v and_o imitate_v abel_n devotion_n in_o his_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v by_o faith_n know_v then_o we_o must_v that_o whatsoever_o creature_n be_v endue_v with_o reason_n the_o same_o be_v thereby_o also_o make_v capable_a of_o a_o faith_n all_o faith_n presuppose_v reason_n in_o which_o it_o be_v implant_v in_o which_o it_o be_v employ_v thus_o be_v there_o a_o faith_n in_o the_o glorious_a angel_n who_o be_v endue_v with_o analogical_a reason_n and_o believe_v in_o god_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v preserve_v with_o perseverance_n in_o which_o faith_n they_o persevere_v in_o their_o perfection_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o faith_n too_o in_o the_o wicked_a angel_n who_o do_v not_o only_o know_v god_n word_n but_o also_o give_v assent_n unto_o such_o knowledge_n which_o yet_o proceed_v not_o from_o any_o special_a illumination_n but_o from_o the_o remainder_n of_o their_o natural_a angelical_a knowledge_n since_o their_o fall_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o faith_n too_o in_o wicked_a man_n a_o faith_n by_o which_o they_o shall_v not_o save_v but_o continue_v and_o condemn_v themselves_o yet_o by_o this_o faith_n they_o shall_v not_o only_o know_v and_o assent_v unto_o god_n word_n but_o also_o profess_v that_o knowledge_n and_o assent_n as_o saint_n luke_n testify_v of_o simon_n magus_n act_v 8.13_o to_o which_o degree_n the_o devil_n also_o in_o some_o sort_n arrive_v for_o they_o confess_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o yet_o look_v for_o no_o salvation_n by_o he_o nay_o they_o disclaim_v all_o salvation_n by_o he_o cry_v out_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o thou_o you_o shall_v yet_o find_v a_o great_a faith_n in_o wicked_a man_n whereby_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o know_v and_o assent_v and_o profess_v but_o also_o rejoice_v nay_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n sure_o this_o will_v make_v the_o just_a man_n fear_n this_o will_v make_v he_o begin_v to_o suspect_v himself_o and_o not_o only_o rest_v content_a with_o a_o direct_a faith_n to_o believe_v but_o seek_v also_o for_o a_o reflexive_a faith_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o do_v believe_v yet_o even_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v attend_v with_o joy_n it_o shall_v be_v attend_v with_o fruit_n they_o shall_v bear_v fruit_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v like_o corn_n on_o the_o housetop_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o summer_n it_o shall_v wither_v they_o shall_v bear_v fruit_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v like_o seed_n in_o the_o stony_a ground_n it_o shall_v take_v no_o deep_a root_n luke_o 8.13_o this_o faith_n shall_v pass_v away_o with_o time_n it_o shall_v pass_v away_o like_a time_n the_o cause_n of_o it_o shall_v pass_v away_o error_n profit_n glory_n which_o common_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o false_a faith_n nay_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o great_a faith_n even_o in_o wicked_a man_n a_o faith_n able_a to_o work_v miracle_n which_o faith_n where_o it_o have_v be_v find_v be_v judge_v to_o have_v be_v common_o ground_v on_o some_o revelation_n or_o on_o some_o promise_n of_o god_n whereby_o a_o man_n believe_v god_n will_v bring_v such_o thing_n to_o pass_v by_o he_o as_o by_o a_o instrument_n of_o such_o miracle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n which_o simon_n magus_n will_v have_v buy_v of_o the_o apostle_n act_n 8.19_o and_o though_o he_o can_v not_o get_v it_o for_o his_o money_n yet_o a_o worse_a hypocrite_n have_v it_o free_o even_o judas_n the_o worst_a of_o reprobate_n yea_o and_o many_o more_o shall_v have_v part_n in_o this_o faith_n who_o notwithstanding_o shall_v have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n nay_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n they_o shall_v say_v to_o our_o saviour_n lord_n in_o thy_o name_n we_o have_v cast_v out_o devil_n they_o shall_v be_v return_v with_o i_o know_v you_o not_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o among_o those_o devil_n who_o once_o in_o his_o name_n they_o themselves_o cast_v out_o and_o may_v not_o this_o shake_v even_o the_o elect_a may_v not_o this_o cast_v they_o into_o doubt_v of_o their_o salvation_n sure_o it_o may_v sure_o it_o do_v but_o it_o be_v but_o at_o some_o time_n it_o be_v but_o for_o some_o time_n it_o be_v but_o in_o some_o degree_n shake_v they_o it_o do_v but_o it_o be_v as_o the_o mighty_a wind_n shake_v a_o mighty_a tree_n it_o do_v but_o shake_v it_o it_o overthrow'_v it_o not_o nay_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o overthrow_v of_o it_o that_o by_o the_o shake_n of_o it_o it_o make_v it_o take_v the_o deep_a root_n while_o both_o the_o tender_a string_n and_o also_o the_o firm_a and_o

even_o in_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v attend_v with_o profession_n joy_n fruit_n nay_o with_o miracle_n it_o do_v not_o make_v he_o desperate_a but_o diligent_a diligent_a to_o try_v himself_o
