every_o one_o will_v answer_v to_o this_o there_o be_v a_o speculative_a and_o a_o practical_a knowledge_n when_o our_o divine_n say_v the_o unregenerate_a man_n can_v know_v these_o thing_n they_o

by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o while_o he_o in_o his_o heart_n believe_v they_o not_o they_o be_v indeed_o to_o he_o but_o foolishness_n when_o if_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o to_o enlighten_v

they_o i_o must_v still_o say_v so_o as_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o his_o salvation_n here_o be_v three_o interpretation_n then_o propose_v to_o they_o who_o please_v to_o strive_v for_o mastery_n i_o

their_o difference_n then_o also_o must_v be_v lay_v down_o this_o revelation_n or_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o be_v either_o external_a or_o internal_a the_o first_o opinion_n which_o be_v this_o author_n will_v have_v this_o

never_o to_o be_v withstand_v or_o any_o more_o to_o be_v doubt_v what_o advantage_n then_o have_v the_o jew_n above_o the_o gentile_a these_o be_v the_o word_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v by_o i_o now_o that_o this_o question_n can_v be_v offer_v after_o he_o have_v say_v thus_o much_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o as_o that_o one_o of_o they_o only_o be_v under_o a_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o a_o objection_n to_o his_o forego_n assertion_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a there_o appear_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o matter_n whether_o a_o man_n be_v jew_n or_o gentile_n see_v he_o that_o have_v the_o law_n only_o write_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o keep_v it_o that_o be_v in_o sincerity_n shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n and_o be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v it_o write_v in_o the_o bible_n the_o apostle_n do_v as_o good_a as_o answer_v this_o be_v true_a yet_o be_v there_o a_o difference_n chief_o because_o that_o unto_o the_o jew_n be_v commit_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n i_o interpret_v not_o these_o word_n but_o give_v this_o paraphrase_n the_o heathen_a be_v under_o the_o same_o law_n of_o grace_n for_o life_n as_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o jew_n advantage_n be_v that_o they_o have_v it_o in_o the_o second_o promulgation_n with_o this_o privilege_n of_o

this_o be_v the_o chief_a advantage_n the_o jew_n have_v over_o the_o gentile_a that_o one_o have_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o have_v not_o then_o be_v there_o not_o this_o difference_n between_o they_o as_o my_o gentleman_n do_v make_v that_o one_o be_v only_o in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o other_o in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o that_o one_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n and_o the_o other_o under_o a_o impossibility_n of_o salvation_n for_o this_o be_v a_o advantage_n of_o a_o far_o great_a nature_n but_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a advantage_n chief_o because_o ergo._n the_o objection_n against_o this_o doctrine_n be_v two_o the_o one_o be_v from_o the_o scripture_n which_o in_o many_o place_n in_o the_o new-testament_n do_v require_v choir_n faith_n in_o christ_n or_o believe_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v i_o answer_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o law_n now_o we_o know_v that_o whatsoever_o thing_n the_o law_n say_v it_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n so_o say_v i_o of_o the_o gospel_n whatsoever_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_a the_o gospel_n say_v it_o say_v to_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o revelation_n be_v sufficient_a so_o that_o man_n wilful_o reject_v it_o such_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n the_o case_n of_o such_o be_v dangerous_a indeed_o and_o these_o text_n applicable_a to_o they_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n but_o as_o for_o those_o who_o never_o hear_v the_o gospel_n or_o when_o the_o revelation_n have_v be_v insufficient_a for_o such_o conviction_n the_o case_n i_o hope_v be_v otherwife_n the_o case_n be_v i_o think_v as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o our_o good_a god_n will_v not_o require_v of_o any_o more_o than_o he_o have_v give_v the_o other_o objection_n be_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n or_o of_o the_o church_n more_o general_o that_o condemn_v this_o opinion_n but_o i_o count_v the_o testimony_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o point_n be_v for_o themselves_o and_o so_o partial_a i_o suppose_v it_o take_v again_o upon_o trust_n and_o follow_v by_o the_o most_o for_o want_n of_o light_n i_o believe_v also_o that_o if_o they_o have_v have_v but_o this_o
