also_o acknowledge_v from_o those_o thing_n whereof_o this_o religion_n do_v consist_v namely_o from_o the_o precept_n and_o promise_n thereof_o as_o also_o from_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o same_o religion_n q._n how_o be_v it_o gather_v from_o the_o precept_n and_o promise_n that_o this_o religion_n be_v divine_a a._n because_o both_o the_o precept_n comprehend_v perfect_a holiness_n of_o life_n and_o the_o promise_v perfect_a happiness_n q._n what_o be_v the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o religion_n a._n the_o rise_n progress_n efficacy_n and_o effect_n thereof_o q._n how_o can_v you_o prove_v by_o the_o rise_v thereof_o that_o it_o be_v divine_a a._n this_o may_v be_v easy_o perceive_v if_o you_o consider_v who_o they_o be_v that_o first_o found_v this_o religion_n namely_o mean_v and_o contemptible_a person_n and_o withal_o that_o they_o do_v it_o without_o any_o worldly_a power_n wealth_n wisdom_n or_o authority_n make_v use_n of_o nothing_o but_o preach_v and_o persuasion_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o their_o opinion_n q._n how_o prove_v you_o the_o same_o by_o the_o progress_n thereof_o a._n because_o in_o a_o very_a short_a space_n this_o religion_n wonderful_o increase_v while_o innumerable_a nation_n and_o person_n both_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a noble_a and_o ignoble_a of_o either_o sex_n renounce_v the_o religion_n receive_v by_o tradition_n from_o their_o father_n embrace_v this_o religion_n be_v neither_o allure_v with_o any_o commodity_n of_o this_o life_n nor_o affright_v with_o any_o calamity_n that_o usual_o attend_v this_o religion_n q._n how_o prove_v you_o the_o same_o by_o the_o efficacy_n and_o effect_n thereof_o a._n first_o because_o it_o can_v be_v suppress_v by_o no_o counsel_n nor_o craft_n nor_o force_n nor_o power_n of_o man_n next_o because_o it_o take_v away_o all_o the_o old_a religion_n save_v the_o jewish_a which_o it_o acknowledge_v for_o such_o a_o religion_n as_o proceed_v from_o god_n and_o be_v to_o continue_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n q._n hitherto_o you_o have_v show_v how_o firm_a and_o certain_a the_o writing_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v show_v also_o that_o those_o of_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v no_o less_o firm_a a._n the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n testify_v that_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o old_a be_v certain_a and_o consequent_o since_o the_o witness_n be_v true_a and_o certain_a as_o appeareth_z by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v their_o testimony_n likewise_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a and_o certain_a chap._n ii_o touch_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n q._n that_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n be_v firm_a and_o certain_a you_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v i_o will_v therefore_o further_o learn_v whether_o they_o be_v so_o sufficient_a as_o that_o in_o thing_n necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n we_o ought_v to_o rest_v in_o they_o only_o a._n they_o be_v altogether_o sufficient_a for_o that_o inasmuch_o as_o faith_n on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o commandment_n which_o twain_o be_v the_o requisite_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v sufficient_o deliver_v and_o explain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o very_a new_a covenant_n q._n if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o tradition_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v to_o be_v necessary_a unto_o eternal_a life_n call_v they_o the_o unwritten_a scripture_n a._n you_o right_o gather_v that_o they_o be_v unnecessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n q._n what_o then_o must_v we_o think_v of_o they_o a._n not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v fancy_v and_o invent_v without_o just_a cause_n and_o necessity_n but_o also_o to_o the_o great_a hazard_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n q._n what_o may_v that_o hazard_n be_v a._n because_o those_o tradition_n give_v man_n a_o occasion_n of_o turn_v aside_o from_o divine_a truth_n to_o falsehood_n and_o the_o imagination_n of_o man_n q._n but_o they_o seem_v to_o assert_v those_o tradition_n from_o the_o very_a scripture_n a._n those_o testimony_n which_o they_o produce_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n to_o assert_v those_o tradition_n do_v indeed_o demonstrate_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o do_v certain_a thing_n which_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o no_o way_n prove_v that_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n by_o they_o to_o be_v perpetual_o so_o conserve_v or_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v consign_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o religion_n and_o salvation_n chap._n iii_o touch_v the_o clearness_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n q._n you_o have_v already_o show_v that_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n be_v both_o certain_a and_o sufficient_a i_o will_v entreat_v you_o also_o to_o show_v that_o they_o be_v clear_a to_o all_o and_o easy_a a._n although_o some_o difficulty_n occur_v in_o they_o yet_o be_v the_o holy_a scripture_n especial_o that_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n easy_a and_o clear_a in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n q._n how_o will_v you_o demonstrate_v that_o a._n first_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n will_v have_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n deliver_v to_o man_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n it_o be_v altogether_o incredible_a that_o he_o will_v have_v such_o writing_n deliver_v from_o whence_o his_o will_n can_v not_o be_v perceive_v and_o know_v by_o all_o next_o because_o in_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n the_o apostle_n direct_v their_o epistle_n wherein_o the_o chief_a mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v contain_v to_o plain_a and_o simple_a man_n q._n whence_o arise_v so_o many_o dissension_n in_o draw_v out_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n a._n because_o man_n either_o negligent_o read_v the_o scripture_n or_o bring_v not_o a_o sincere_a heart_n discharge_v from_o all_o encumbrance_n and_o lust_n or_o do_v not_o with_o such_o care_n and_o carnestnesse_n as_o be_v requisite_a implore_v the_o divine_a assistance_n i_o mean_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o those_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o night_n and_o day_n q._n if_o so_o what_o use_n be_v there_o of_o teacher_n a._n that_o man_n may_v by_o they_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o maintain_v and_o practice_v those_o thing_n that_o they_o understand_v and_o be_v assist_v in_o understand_v the_o more_o difficult_a one_o of_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n chap._n i._o touch_v the_o cause_n of_o discover_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n q._n as_o to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o acknowledge_v myself_o to_o have_v receive_v satisfaction_n from_o you_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o the_o beginning_n you_o say_v that_o this_o way_n which_o lead_v to_o immortality_n be_v discover_v by_o god_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v for_o what_o reason_n you_o say_v so_o a._n because_o as_o man_n by_o nature_n have_v nothing_o common_a with_o immortality_n so_o can_v he_o not_o by_o himself_o possible_o know_v the_o way_n lead_v thereunto_o q._n why_o have_v man_n nothing_o common_a with_o immortality_n a._n because_o he_o be_v at_o first_o form_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o create_v mortal_a again_o because_o he_o transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n propose_v to_o he_o and_o so_o by_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n himself_o express_v in_o the_o commandment_n be_v necessary_o subject_v to_o eternal_a death_n q._n but_o how_o agree_v this_o with_o those_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n wherein_o it_o be_v write_v that_o man_n be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n gen._n 1._o 26_o 27._o &_o that_o death_n by_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n ronvere_n 5._o 12._o a._n as_o for_o the_o testimony_n which_o pronounce_v man_n to_o have_v be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n we_o must_v know_v that_o by_o the_o image_n of_o god_n immortality_n be_v not_o signify_v which_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o scripture_n at_o what_o time_n man_n have_v be_v subject_v

since_o it_o may_v of_o he_o be_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v manifest_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v flesh_n and_o though_o it_o be_v afterward_o according_a to_o the_o vulgar_a

be_v the_o sense_n of_o this_o place_n a._n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_a perceive_v it_o i_o will_v cite_v the_o whole_a thus_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n be_v manifest_v in_o

man_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o miracle_n wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o true_a the_o same_o be_v at_o
