he_o make_v a_o excellent_a metaphysical_a discourse_n and_o prove_v the_o unnaturalness_n and_o unreasonableness_n of_o idolatry_n by_o such_o principle_n as_o be_v common_a to_o and_o universal_o receive_v by_o the_o intellectual_a nature_n of_o man._n and_o indeed_o a_o rational_a conviction_n seem_v more_o clear_a and_o evident_a than_o a_o miraculous_a one_o by_o how_o much_o the_o innate_a idea_n and_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n be_v more_o sure_a and_o constant_a than_o the_o perplex_a motion_n of_o a_o versatile_a imagination_n and_o we_o find_v that_o the_o jew_n evade_v the_o force_n of_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n by_o say_v they_o be_v do_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o though_o lazarus_n come_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a yet_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v but_o seek_v to_o murder_v he_o and_o a_o perverse_a spirit_n will_v find_v various_a artifices_fw-la to_o elude_v the_o assent_n which_o a_o miracle_n command_v from_o we_o but_o now_o humane_a reason_n be_v in_o all_o man_n one_o and_o the_o same_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o prevail_v when_o advantageous_o propound_v from_o that_o antecedent_n sutableness_n and_o harmony_n there_o be_v between_o it_o and_o all_o truth_n and_o without_o doubt_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o the_o assent_n which_o be_v extort_a upon_o the_o work_n of_o miracle_n be_v much_o less_o generous_a and_o noble_a than_o that_o which_o be_v gain_v from_o the_o understanding_n by_o the_o native_a evidence_n and_o beauty_n of_o truth_n except_o you_o see_v

he_o do_v no_o miracle_n among_o they_o and_o beside_o all_o this_o christ_n say_v express_o that_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o frame_n the_o sanctity_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o doctrine_n he_o
