A47125	The arraignment of worldly philosophy, or, The false wisdom its being a great hinderance to the Christian faith, and a great enemy to the true divine wisdom / by George Keith.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1694 (1694)	Wing K143; ESTC R1585	27,083	30

by_o a_o divine_a illumination_n work_v upon_o their_o rational_a understanding_n as_o man_n for_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v supernatural_a in_o all_o these_o art_n and_o science_n

have_v a_o more_o immediate_o divine_a original_n as_o when_o christ_n open_v the_o natural_a eye_n of_o the_o blind_a to_o see_v their_o see_v be_v natural_a after_o their_o eye_n be_v open_v but_o the_o open_n of_o they_o be_v supernatural_a and_o miraculous_a it_o be_v therefore_o the_o gross_a and_o hurtful_a error_n that_o do_v abound_v in_o the_o gentile_a philosophy_n that_o make_v paul_n give_v such_o caution_n against_o it_o and_o the_o same_o error_n continue_v among_o many_o call_v christian_n at_o this_o day_n that_o spoil_v they_o by_o hurt_v yea_o destroy_v the_o faith_n of_o

which_o be_v the_o very_a error_n of_o the_o old_a heathen_a philosopher_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o follow_v particular_o the_o platonist_n and_o stoic_n teach_v 1._o that_o the_o body_n be_v no_o part_n of_o a_o man_n but_o a_o prison_n and_o grave_a to_o the_o soul_n hence_o they_o can_v not_o but_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n after_o death_n for_o no_o man_n after_o he_o be_v set_v free_a out_o of_o prison_n have_v any_o desire_n to_o return_v to_o it_o again_o and_o also_o from_o this_o error_n no_o doubt_n come_v that_o neglect_v of_o the_o body_n that_o paul_n

such_o it_o will_v become_v again_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a again_o many_o of_o old_a teach_v and_o now_o teach_v 2._o that_o matter_n or_o body_n have_v no_o life_n or_o perception_n sense_n or_o feel_n of_o pleasure_n or_o pain_n even_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o it_o and_o unite_v to_o it_o but_o that_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n be_v the_o alone_a subject_n of_o all_o sensation_n and_o perception_n and_o because_o some_o late_a philosopher_n so_o call_v do_v not_o own_o beast_n fish_n and_o fowl_n to_o have_v any_o principle_n in_o they_o but_o

hence_o such_o can_v but_o consequential_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n for_o if_o the_o body_n be_v whole_o without_o all_o sense_n or_o perception_n either_o of_o pleasure_n or_o

to_o be_v commend_v who_o have_v attempt_v to_o correct_v and_o reform_v the_o vulgar_a error_n in_o that_o call_v philosophy_n as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n call_v enchiridion_n

think_v to_o answer_v 2_o weighty_a question_n and_o that_o very_o brief_o the_o first_o be_v what_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n or_o reason_n that_o man_n general_o profess_v to_o seek_v after_o the_o true_a philosophy_n wisdom_n or_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n both_o divine_a and_o natural_a have_v so_o great_o miss_v it_o and_o instead_o of_o the_o pure_a truth_n have_v embrace_v error_n for_o the_o great_a part_n ans_fw-fr the_o chief_a cause_n or_o reason_n be_v their_z too_o much_o rely_v upon_o their_o humane_a understanding_n and_o the_o bare_a exercise_n of_o human_a reason_n which_o they_o general_o make_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_v line_n to_o find_v out_o all_o truth_n or_o true_a knowledge_n in_o natural_a thing_n even_o as_o christian_n so_o call_v too_o general_o do_v the_o same_o at_o this_o day_n and_o i_o wish_v they_o do_v not_o so_o do_v in_o the_o search_n of_o divine_a truth_n also_o and_o in_o the_o enquiry_n after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o divine_a thing_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o some_o derive_v the_o etymology_n of_o the_o word_n mens_fw-la in_o latin_a that_o signify_v the_o mind_n in_o english_a from_o the_o latin_a word_n metiri_fw-la to_o measure_n as_o if_o the_o bare_a mind_n or_o humane_a understanding_n of_o man_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o all_o truth_n at_o least_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o because_o they_o do_v either_o whole_o or_o for_o most_o part_n rely_v upon_o their_o humane_a understanding_n and_o bare_a exercise_n of_o humane_a reason_n thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o divine_a gift_n of_o god_n even_o that_o divine_a principle_n of_o light_n wherewithal_o christ_n the_o eternal_a word_n have_v enlighten_v they_o be_v neglect_v and_o like_o the_o unfaithful_a and_o slothful_a servant_n this_o divine_a talon_n wherewithal_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v occupy_v and_o trade_v they_o bury_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o thus_o profess_v themselves_o wise_a they_o become_v fool_n and_o though_o what_o be_v to_o be_v know_v of_o god_n have_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n make_v manifest_a in_o they_o god_n have_v show_v it_o unto_o they_o by_o the_o divine_a illumination_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n yet_o as_o paul_n declare_v when_o they_o know_v god_n they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n nor_o be_v they_o thankful_a and_o because_o they_o do_v not_o like_a to_o retain_v god_n in_o their_o knowledge_n but_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n therefore_o their_o foolish_a heart_n be_v darken_v and_o they_o be_v give_v up_o to_o vile_a affection_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o general_a state_n of_o they_o call_v heathen_a or_o gentile_a philosopher_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o judge_v so_o hardly_o or_o uncharitable_o of_o they_o universal_o because_o the_o more_o sober_a and_o humble_a mind_a gentile_n do_v not_o profess_v so_o much_o but_o practise_v more_o and_o better_a and_o may_v be_v and_o i_o believe_v be_v in_o a_o better_a state_n and_o condition_n towards_o god_n and_o though_o i_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v perish_v yet_o whoever_o of_o they_o be_v save_v with_o eternal_a salvation_n it_o be_v not_o by_o any_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o mere_a gentile_a state_n or_o by_o any_o obedience_n to_o any_o law_n or_o light_n whatsoever_o without_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n all_o who_o ever_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n of_o it_o have_v
