man_n brain_n do_v often_o fabricate_a many_o chimera_n and_o aery_a imagination_n which_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o reality_n of_o true_a existence_n or_o entity_n to_o support_v they_o but_o this_o i_o maintain_v which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o my_o design_a end_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v true_a have_v entity_n and_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n ever_o affirmative_a &_o whatsoever_o be_v false_a be_v but_o a_o denial_n of_o a_o truth_n &_o therefore_o as_o have_v no_o real_a be_v be_v evermore_o negative_a and_o though_o it_o be_v in_o man_n power_n through_o a_o voluntary_a frame_n and_o

understanding_n the_o truth_n be_v ever_o affirmative_a and_o the_o falsehood_n negative_a to_o exemplify_v this_o to_o say_v god_n be_v not_o cruel_a or_o man_n be_v not_o blind_a these_o proposition_n though_o they_o be_v in_o term_n negative_a yet_o they_o be_v in_o sense_n affirmative_a only_o as_o deny_v the_o negation_n of_o mercy_n in_o god_n and_o of_o blindness_n in_o man_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n to_o say_v in_o affirmative_a term_n god_n be_v cruel_a &_o man_n be_v blind_a though_o these_o say_n be_v deliver_v in_o show_n of_o affirmative_a term_n yet_o if_o we_o do_v unueyle_v they_o they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o sense_n and_o understanding_n mere_o negative_a since_o cruelty_n be_v exclusive_a to_o mercy_n and_o blindness_n to_o sight_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v in_o negative_a word_n god_n be_v not_o merciful_a or_o man_n can_v see_v thus_o far_o of_o these_o speculation_n now_o i_o draw_v from_o all_o these_o former_a ground_n this_o unavoidable_a conclusion_n to_o wit_n that_o protestancy_n as_o it_o be_v protestancy_n i_o mean_v as_o it_o consist_v mere_o of_o negative_a proposition_n and_o tenet_n and_o to_o consist_v only_o of_o such_o it_o be_v above_o demonstrate_v have_v no_o true_a reality_n or_o subsistency_n in_o itself_o but_o be_v a_o mere_a vaporous_a intentional_a &_o imaginary_a conceit_n and_o consequent_o in_o itself_o false_a for_o if_o thing_n be_v only_o true_a as_o they_o have_v a_o real_a be_v and_o therein_o affirmative_a and_o false_a if_o they_o want_v such_o a_o be_v and_o therein_o negative_a as_o the_o former_a axiom_n of_o school_n divinity_n do_v most_o evident_o teach_v how_o then_o can_v protestancy_n which_o consist_v only_o in_o denial_n and_o negation_n which_o have_v no_o be_v be_v real_a or_o true_a for_o what_o reality_n of_o be_v be_v there_o in_o a_o not-being_a of_o purgatory_n or_o in_o not_o pray_v to_o saint_n &_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reality_n in_o these_o as_o infallible_o there_o be_v not_o how_o then_o can_v protestancy_n have_v any_o reality_n in_o self_n and_o if_o it_o have_v no_o reality_n in_o itself_o how_o then_o can_v it_o be_v real_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o what_o want_v a_o subsistency_n in_o itself_o must_v necessary_o want_v a_o existency_n in_o any_o
