according_a to_o our_o ordinary_a way_n of_o conception_n be_v a_o decree_n consequent_a to_o that_o order_n of_o nature_n we_o ought_v then_o to_o distinguish_v the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n from_o natural_a thing_n we_o must_v equal_o submit_v to_o faith_n and_o evidence_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o such_o evidence_n as_o be_v in_o natural_a thing_n we_o must_v not_o rely_v upon_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o philosopher_n in_o a_o word_n to_o be_v faithful_a we_o must_v believe_v thing_n not_o comprehend_v by_o reason_n but_o to_o be_v philosopher_n we_o must_v take_v nothing_o upon_o trust_n it_o be_v universal_o agree_v upon_o that_o there_o be_v other_o truth_n beside_o those_o of_o faith_n in_o which_o it_o

of_o language_n custom_n and_o even_o that_o of_o the_o different_a opinion_n of_o philosopher_n when_o they_o be_v only_o learn_v by_o memory_n without_o have_v have_v any_o evidence_n or_o

with_o probability_n not_o always_o but_o for_o a_o time_n not_o because_o it_o satisfy_v the_o mind_n but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o it_o and_o because_o if_o we_o shall_v defer_v

of_o this_o there_o be_v infinite_a example_n in_o physic_n and_o morality_n so_o that_o oftentimes_o it_o be_v of_o use_n to_o collect_v a_o sufficient_a number_n of_o they_o for_o matter_n which_o can_v be_v otherwise_o demonstrate_v i_o must_v confess_v here_o that_o the_o rule_n which_o i_o have_v impose_v be_v very_o rigorous_a that_o many_o will_v rather_o desire_v not_o to_o reason_n at_o all_o than_o to_o reason_n upon_o these_o condition_n that_o they_o will_v not_o move_v very_o fast_o under_o such_o incommodious_a circumspection_n yet_o they_o must_v agree_v with_o i_o that_o they_o shall_v proceed_v sure_o in_o follow_v this_o rule_n and_o that_o hitherto_o for_o have_v make_v too_o much_o haste_n they_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o turn_v back_o again_o and_o even_o a_o

to_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o this_o world_n to_o dispute_v the_o holy_a truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n be_v so_o negligent_a and_o void_a of_o reason_n

that_o infinity_o be_v not_o represent_v to_o we_o but_o only_o the_o defect_n of_o the_o capacity_n and_o extension_n of_o the_o mind_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v apply_v himself_o to_o consider_v the_o

manner_n as_o we_o shall_v soon_o see_v for_o as_o god_n always_o act_n by_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n it_o do_v not_o seem_v reasonable_a to_o explain_v how_o we_o know_v object_n by_o admit_v the_o creation_n of_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o being_n since_o we_o can_v resolve_v this_o difficulty_n in_o a_o more_o easy_a and_o natural_a way_n but_o although_o the_o mind_n shall_v have_v a_o magazine_n of_o all_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o it_o to_o see_v thing_n it_o will_v be_v yet_o more_o difficult_a to_o explain_v how_o the_o soul_n shall_v make_v choice_n of_o

which_o the_o sun_n imprint_n in_o the_o brain_n resemble_v not_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v thereof_o as_o have_v be_v elsewhere_o prove_v and_o since_o the_o soul_n perceive_v not_o the_o motion_n that_o the_o sun_n produce_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o in_o the_o brain_n it_o be_v inconceivable_a how_o it_o shall_v exact_o guess_v among_o these_o infinite_a number_n of_o idea_n that_o it_o have_v which_o it_o must_v represent_v to_o itself_o to_o imagine_v or_o to_o see_v the_o sun_n we_o can_v therefore_o say_v that_o the_o idea_n of_o thing_n be_v create_v with_o we_o it_o

this_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v any_o other_o principal_a end_n of_o his_o action_n but_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o notion_n that_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v

the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o eternal_a truth_n truth_n be_v uncreated_a immutable_a immense_a eternal_a above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a by_o itself_o it_o derive_v its_o perfection_n

be_v god_n we_o see_v some_o of_o those_o immutable_a eternal_a truth_n therefore_o we_o see_v god_n these_o be_v st._n augustine_n reason_n we_o differ_v a_o little_a from_o they_o and_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o use_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o man_n unjust_o to_o second_v our_o sentiment_n we_o believe_v that_o truth_n even_o those_o that_o be_v eternal_a as_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o absolute_a being_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v in_o god_n for_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o that_o truth_n only_o consist_v in_o a_o relation_n of_o equality_n which_o be_v between_o twice_o two_o and_o four_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v truth_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v but_o in_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o those_o truth_n for_o idea_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v truth_n have_v no_o reality_n when_o for_o example_n man_n say_v that_o the_o cloth_n they_o measure_v contain_v three_o yard_n the_o cloth_n and_o the_o yard_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v not_o a_o real_a be_v it_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o the_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n when_o we_o say_v that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n there_o be_v between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n thus_o according_a to_o our_o sentiment_n we_o see_v god_n when_o we_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o those_o eternal_a truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o those_o truth_n depend_v be_v in_o god_n perhaps_o st._n austin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o also_o believe_v that_o we_o know_v in_o
