not_o to_o proceed_v with_o such_o suspense_n in_o this_o matmatter_v be_v so_o full_o assure_v of_o my_o be_v in_o the_o right_a here_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o my_o account_n that_o have_v i_o the_o liberty_n to_o new-cast_a this_o article_n again_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o very_a same_o mould_n mr._n vickris_n indeed_o tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n to_o say_v the_o quaker_n confine_v the_o light_n within_o and_o i_o tell_v he_o again_o that_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n in_o he_o to_o say_v that_o this_o be_v my_o charge_n i_o never_o say_v absolute_o and_o simple_o that_o they_o confine_v the_o light_n within_o which_o will_v imply_v a_o confinement_n to_o person_n but_o that_o they_o confine_v it_o to_o some_o certain_a object_n namely_o moral_a and_o spiritual_a truth_n in_o order_n only_o to_o the_o direction_n of_o practice_n and_o that_o they_o do_v thus_o confine_v the_o light_n be_v as_o plain_a and_o certain_a as_o that_o they_o hold_v it_o if_o mr._n barclay_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o understand_v their_o principle_n for_o say_v he_o as_o god_n give_v two_o 337._o great_a light_n to_o rule_v the_o outward_a world_n the_o sun_n and_o moon_n the_o great_a light_n to_o rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o lesser_a light_n to_o rule_v the_o night_n so_o have_v he_o give_v man_n the_o light_n of_o his_o son_n a_o spiritual_a divine_a light_n to_o rule_v he_o in_o the_o thing_n spiritaal_n and_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n to_o rule_v he_o in_o thing_n natural_a here_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a first_o that_o he_o suppose_v two_o distinct_a light_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o divine_a light_n and_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n or_o the_o natural_a light_n which_o by_o the_o way_n sufficient_o confirm_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o last_o section_n concern_v their_o make_v the_o divine_a light_n a_o extraordinary_a communication_n that_o be_v superaccessory_a to_o the_o natural_a light_n or_o man_n natural_a and_o ordinary_a way_n of_o understanding_n which_o may_v remain_v entire_a and_o unextinguished_a though_o separate_v from_o the_o divine_a light_n as_o be_v a_o principle_n whole_o distinct_a from_o it_o and_o that_o stand_v upon_o another_o bottom_n contrary_n to_o what_o i_o contend_v for_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o light_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o divine_a light_n wherein_o we_o see_v and_o perceive_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o which_o we_o natural_o and_o ordinary_o understand_v it_o be_v also_o very_o plain_a in_o the_o 2d_o place_n that_o as_o he_o suppose_v two_o distinct_a light_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o divine_a and_o the_o natural_a so_o he_o assign_v they_o two_o distinct_a office_n no_o less_o distinct_a than_o day_n and_o night_n the_o divine_a light_n be_v to_o direct_v in_o thing_n spiritual_a as_o the_o sun_n rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o natural_a light_n be_v to_o direct_v in_o thing_n natural_a as_o the_o moon_n govern_v the_o night_n each_o it_o seem_v have_v its_o proper_a orb_n and_o province_n and_o they_o can_v no_o more_o interfere_v with_o one_o another_o order_n than_o the_o sun_n can_v usurp_v the_o government_n of_o the_o night_n or_o the_o moon_n assume_v to_o herself_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o day_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o to_o confine_v the_o divine_a light_n to_o some_o certain_a object_n namely_o to_o moral_a and_o spiritual_a truth_n i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v it_o be_v confine_v as_o much_o to_o such_o object_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o day_n and_o i_o desire_v no_o more_o think_v that_o to_o be_v confinement_n eenough_fw-mi if_o mr._n vickris_n have_v be_v but_o half_a so_o much_o confine_v to_o civility_n and_o good_a behaviour_n he_o will_v have_v treat_v i_o with_o more_o humanity_n and_o courtesy_n than_o he_o have_v do_v in_o some_o part_n of_o his_o book_n i_o may_v be_v more_o liberal_a of_o quotation_n upon_o this_o occasion_n if_o i_o think_v there_o be_v any_o need_n but_o since_o that_o already_o produce_v be_v so_o express_v to_o the_o purpose_n i_o shall_v only_o take_v notice_n of_o a_o remarkable_a passage_n in_o the_o preface_n to_o mr._n barclay_n work_n late_o print_v in_o folio_n where_o the_o ingenious_a author_n give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o apology_n for_o the_o true_a christian_a divinity_n make_v one_o himself_o for_o the_o scholastic_a manner_n and_o way_n of_o its_o composition_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v in_o tenderness_n to_o scholar_n and_o in_o condescension_n to_o their_o education_n his_o word_n be_v the_o method_n and_o style_n of_o the_o book_n may_v be_v somewhat_o singular_a and_o like_o 21._o a_o scholar_n for_o we_o make_v that_o sort_n of_o learn_v no_o part_n of_o our_o divine_a science_n etc._n etc._n where_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o that_o sort_n of_o learning_n he_o mean_v human_a learning_n those_o art_n and_o science_n which_o be_v the_o common_a object_n of_o our_o academical_a study_n and_o that_o by_o our_o divine_a science_n he_o mean_v that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v supernatural_o communicate_v to_o they_o by_o the_o save_a light_n of_o christ_n whereof_o he_o have_v discourse_v before_o so_o that_o when_o he_o say_v we_o make_v that_o sort_n of_o learn_v no_o part_n of_o our_o divine_a science_n it_o come_v to_o as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v we_o make_v human_a learning_n or_o those_o art_n and_o science_n which_o be_v the_o common_a object_n of_o academical_a study_n to_o be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v supernatural_o communicate_v to_o we_o by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o human_a learning_n be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o knowledge_n which_o come_v by_o the_o divine_a light_n than_o the_o divine_a light_n be_v not_o extend_v to_o human_a learning_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v confine_v to_o spiritual_a truth_n the_o very_a province_n which_o mr._n barclay_n have_v assign_v it_o before_o and_o to_o this_o supposition_n the_o thread_n of_o their_o former_a principle_n natural_o lead_v they_o for_o suppose_v the_o divine_a light_n to_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a communication_n of_o god_n that_o be_v something_o superad_v to_o the_o natural_a and_o ordinary_a way_n of_o understanding_n there_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o shall_v assign_v to_o it_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a object_n as_o its_o proper_a sphere_n and_o province_n since_o natural_a thing_n be_v before_o sufficient_o discernible_a by_o a_o natural_a light_n and_o principle_n especial_o consider_v that_o this_o divine_a light_n be_v also_o conceive_v and_o represent_v by_o they_o as_o that_o very_a grace_n of_o christ_n whereby_o man_n be_v convert_v and_o save_v and_o which_o be_v give_v to_o they_o by_o god_n for_o that_o very_a purpose_n for_o so_o mr._n barclay_n in_o his_o 5_o and_o 6_o proposition_n 317._o reckon_v up_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n for_o which_o the_o save_a and_o spiritual_a light_n as_o he_o call_v it_o be_v give_v by_o god_n make_v they_o to_o consist_v in_o make_v manifest_a all_o thing_n that_o be_v reprovable_a in_o teach_v all_o temperance_n righteousness_n and_o godliness_n and_o in_o general_n in_o lightning_n the_o heart_n of_o all_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n so_o than_o it_o seem_v this_o light_n be_v pure_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n and_o consequent_o aught_o to_o be_v confine_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v it_o that_o be_v to_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a truth_n in_o order_n to_o the_o direction_n of_o life_n and_o manner_n herein_o therefore_o they_o be_v consonant_n to_o their_o principle_n as_o they_o do_v thus_o confine_v their_o light_n to_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o they_o ought_v thus_o to_o confine_v it_o for_o what_o have_v grace_n to_o do_v with_o the_o thing_n of_o nature_n and_o as_o they_o follow_v their_o principle_n so_o i_o follow_v i_o for_o not_o conceive_v this_o internal_a light_n as_o any_o thing_n superad_v to_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o man_n understanding_n but_o as_o that_o whereby_o he_o natural_o and_o ordinary_o understand_v and_o not_o conceive_v it_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o grace_n neither_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o its_o simple_a kind_a though_o i_o allow_v it_o may_v have_v that_o estimation_n in_o some_o of_o its_o degree_n but_o rather_o as_o according_a to_o the_o natural_a order_n of_o human_a understanding_n i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o confine_v it_o as_o the_o quaker_n do_v to_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a truth_n but_o to_o extend_v it_o to_o all_o truth_n without_o exception_n which_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v equal_o perceivable_a in_o this_o divine_a light_n which_o as_o be_v the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n must_v be_v equal_o exhibitive_a of_o all_o but_o mr._n vickris_n will_v still_o have_v it_o a_o abuse_n to_o say_v that_o the_o quaker_n confine_v the_o light_n
