can_v not_o so_o easy_o resist_v as_o we_o may_v those_o which_o be_v afford_v to_o we_o may_v be_v grant_v and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v unreasonable_a for_o we_o to_o desire_v the_o same_o unless_o

least_o that_o we_o have_v such_o strong_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n as_o they_o have_v and_o if_o we_o have_v we_o see_v not_o why_o there_o will_v not_o be_v as_o much_o choice_n and_o consequent_o as_o much_o virtue_n in_o our_o believe_v as_o there_o be_v in_o they_o but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v the_o lot_n but_o of_o very_a few_o even_o of_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n except_o of_o the_o jew_n that_o dwell_v in_o judea_n to_o hear_v the_o apostle_n themselves_o or_o to_o see_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n the_o miracle_n that_o they_o wrought_v and_o even_o of_o these_o there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o see_v many_o of_o their_o mighty_a work_n so_o that_o all_o thing_n consider_v the_o evidence_n that_o we_o have_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o religion_n if_o it_o be_v not_o full_o equal_a to_o be_v very_o little_a inferior_a to_o that_o which_o they_o have_v for_o it_o be_v as_o have_v be_v former_o show_v moral_o impossible_a that_o the_o gospel_n history_n which_o be_v now_o in_o our_o hand_n shall_v be_v forge_v or_o spurious_a or_o

make_v up_o by_o the_o fullness_n and_o abundance_n of_o it_o we_o have_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n several_a witness_n testify_v the_o same_o miracle_n and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o witness_v more_o miracle_n than_o any_o except_o those_o who_o be_v constant_a attendant_n upon_o our_o lord_n or_o companion_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o witness_v but_o 2._o grant_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n those_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v have_v general_o clear_a and_o strong_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n than_o we_o have_v now_o yet_o i_o say_v even_o that_o evidence_n of_o sense_n which_o they_o have_v be_v not_o more_o apt_a or_o like_a to_o convince_v and_o persuade_v they_o than_o the_o proof_n which_o we_o now_o have_v though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v less_o be_v to_o convince_v and_o persuade_v we_o for_o when_o man_n have_v already_o take_v up_o a_o opinion_n no_o matter_n upon_o what_o ground_n or_o when_o by_o their_o worldly_a interest_n they_o be_v engage_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o opinion_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o mean_v reason_n of_o the_o same_o strength_n in_o themselves_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v they_o to_o alter_v their_o opinion_n which_o will_v have_v suffice_v to_o have_v fix_v and_o establish_v they_o in_o their_o former_a notion_n and_o this_o be_v plain_o the_o difference_n between_o those_o time_n and_o we_o for_o when_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v first_o make_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n all_o both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v most_o strong_o prejudice_v against_o it_o each_o of_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o a_o persuasion_n that_o their_o own_o way_n of_o worship_n be_v right_a and_o the_o jew_n in_o particular_a have_v have_v good_a assurance_n that_o their_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n to_o which_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n seem_v very_o opposite_a have_v be_v of_o divine_a institution_n but_o however_o when_o a_o man_n have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o have_v believe_v it_o a_o good_a while_n he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v it_o whether_o he_o have_v so_o or_o not_o so_o that_o the_o prejudice_n against_o christianity_n be_v as_o powerful_a though_o not_o altogether_o so_o just_a in_o the_o gentile_n who_o religion_n be_v mere_o fabulous_a as_o in_o the_o jew_n who_o law_n be_v indeed_o of_o divine_a institution_n and_o beside_o which_o be_v a_o impediment_n alike_o common_a both_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n they_o can_v not_o either_o of_o they_o then_o embrace_v and_o profess_v the_o christian_a religion_n without_o apparent_o hazard_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v dear_a to_o they_o in_o this_o world_n and_o how_o very_o apt_a a_o strong_a worldly_a interest_n be_v to_o blind_a man_n eye_n and_o to_o bias_n their_o judgement_n be_v what_o we_o can_v but_o daily_o observe_v in_o all_o other_o case_n but_o our_o case_n now_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o our_o prejudices_fw-la and_o our_o interest_n be_v both_o for_o christianity_n for_o we_o suck_v it_o in_o with_o our_o mother_n milk_n and_o we_o find_v it_o the_o establish_a religion_n of_o the_o country_n where_o we_o be_v
