yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v find_v in_o they_o many_o place_n from_o which_o right_o understand_v the_o same_o may_v be_v conclude_v easy_o and_o genuine_o among_o these_o chief_o from_o that_o of_o deuteronomy_n 13._o where_o moses_n command_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o put_v to_o death_n a_o false_a and_o seduce_a prophet_n though_o he_o shall_v work_v miracle_n the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n be_v these_o in_o our_o most_o correct_a translation_n if_o there_o arise_v among_o you_o a_o prophet_n or_o a_o dreamer_n of_o dream_n and_o give_v thou_o a_o sign_n or_o a_o wonder_n and_o the_o sign_n or_o wonder_n come_v to_o pass_v whereof_o he_o speak_v unto_o thou_o say_v let_v we_o go_v after_o other_o god_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o know_v and_o let_v we_o serve_v they_o thou_o shall_v not_o hearken_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o that_o prophet_n or_o that_o dreamer_n of_o dream_n for_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n prove_v you_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o

from_o which_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o miracle_n may_v be_v wrought_v even_o by_o false_a prophet_n and_o that_o man_n unless_o they_o be_v well_o guard_v by_o the_o true_a knowledge_n and_o cordial_a love_n of_o god_n may_v as_o easy_o be_v induce_v by_o miracle_n to_o embrace_v and_o serve_v false_a god_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n for_o he_o add_v because_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n prove_v you_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o love_v he_o etc._n etc._n second_o the_o israelite_n can_v not_o from_o so_o many_o miracle_n form_n in_o their_o mind_n any_o sound_a conception_n or_o notion_n of_o god_n or_o his_o providence_n as_o experience_n itself_o testify_v for_o when_o they_o have_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o moses_n be_v go_v from_o they_o present_o they_o importune_v aaron_n to_o furnish_v they_o with_o visible_a deity_n and_o to_o the_o indelible_a shame_n of_o their_o nation_n embrace_v the_o image_n of_o a_o calf_n for_o a_o idea_n or_o representation_n of_o their_o god_n which_o they_o at_o length_n from_o so_o many_o miracle_n form_v to_o themselves_o asaph_z also_o though_o he_o have_v often_o hear_v of_o and_o believe_v all_o the_o miracle_n do_v among_o his_o ancestor_n yet_o doubt_v of_o god_n providence_n and_o have_v deflect_v from_o the_o right_a way_n of_o absolute_a dependence_n thereupon_o have_v he_o not_o at_o last_o understand_v true_a happiness_n to_o consist_v only_o therein_o and_o religion_n in_o justice_n and_o charity_n as_o we_o read_v in_o psalm_n 73._o nor_o be_v solomon_n himself_o though_o excellent_a in_o wisdom_n and_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n too_o even_o when_o the_o affair_n of_o that_o nation_n be_v at_o the_o high_a point_n of_o prosperity_n able_a to_o form_v to_o himself_o any_o competent_a notion_n of_o god_n after_o all_o he_o have_v read_v concern_v the_o miracle_n record_v in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n for_o he_o more_o than_o once_o eccles._n 3._o v_o 19_o 20_o 21._o and_o chap._n 9_o v._n 2_o 3_o etc._n etc._n confess_v he_o suspect_v all_o thing_n to_o happen_v by_o chance_n so_o far_o seem_v he_o to_o have_v be_v from_o conclude_v a_o divine_a providence_n from_o belief_n of_o those_o miracle_n and_o as_o for_o the_o prophet_n it_o may_v be_v without_o much_o labour_n collect_v from_o their_o write_n that_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o well_o understand_v how_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o event_n of_o man_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o consist_v with_o the_o conception_n or_o notion_n they_o have_v form_v in_o their_o mind_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n which_o yet_o have_v be_v always_o very_o clear_a to_o philosopher_n who_o endeavour_n from_o clear_a conception_n right_o to_o understand_v thing_n as_o they_o be_v those_o i_o mean_v who_o constitute_v true_a felicity_n in_o nothing_o but_o virtue_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o mind_n not_o study_v to_o bring_v nature_n to_o obey_v they_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o bring_v themselves_o to_o obey_v nature_n as_o certain_o know_v that_o god_n direct_v nature_n as_o the_o universal_a law_n thereof_o not_o as_o the_o particular_a law_n of_o humane_a nature_n require_v and_o so_o that_o he_o take_v care_v not_o only_o of_o mankind_n but_o of_o the_o whole_a universe_n constant_a it_o be_v therefore_o and_o that_o too_o even_o from_o sacred_a writ_n that_o miracle_n do_v not_o give_v a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n nor_o clear_o teach_v his_o providence_n which_o be_v what_o i_o design_v to_o prove_v and_o as_o for_o what_o be_v find_v in_o some_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o to_o some_o unattentive_a reader_n may_v seem_v perhaps_o irreconcilable_a to_o this_o my_o doctrine_n as_o in_o exod._n 10._o v_o 2._o that_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o show_v wonderful_a sign_n before_o they_o that_o the_o israelite_n may_v know_v he_o to_o be_v god_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o thence_o that_o miracle_n do_v in_o truth_n teach_v we_o to_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v god_n but_o only_o that_o the_o jew_n have_v such_o opinion_n as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v easy_o convince_v by_o those_o miracle_n for_o evident_a it_o be_v that_o the_o prophetic_a reason_n mention_v in_o scripture_n or_o such_o as_o be_v form_v from_o revelation_n be_v draw_v not_o from_o universal_a and_o common_a notion_n but_o from_o the_o grant_v however_o absurd_a opinion_n of_o those_o to_o who_o the_o thing_n be_v reveal_v or_o who_o the_o holy_a spirit_n intend_v to_o convince_v which_o may_v here_o if_o i_o have_v not_o firm_o resolve_v not_o to_o prolong_v this_o discourse_n by_o digression_n be_v prove_v from_o many_o example_n and_o also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o st._n paul_n who_o with_o the_o greek_n make_v himself_o a_o greek_a and_o with_o the_o jew_n a_o jew_n that_o be_v conform_v his_o doctrine_n sometime_o to_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o the_o grecian_n sometime_o to_o those_o of_o the_o jew_n but_o though_o the_o miracle_n do_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o egyptian_n may_v convince_v they_o and_o the_o jew_n also_o from_o their_o common_a opinion_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o give_v a_o true_a idea_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n but_o only_o bring_v both_o nation_n to_o concede_fw-la that_o there_o be_v a_o divine_a numen_fw-la more_o powerful_a than_o all_o thing_n know_v to_o they_o and_o that_o this_o divine_a numen_fw-la take_v more_o care_n of_o the_o hebrew_n all_o who_o affair_n at_o that_o time_n succeed_v most_o happy_o even_o above_o their_o hope_n than_o of_o the_o egyptian_n or_o any_o other_o people_n whatever_o but_o not_o that_o god_n take_v equal_a care_n of_o all_o man_n which_o philosophy_n alone_o can_v teach_v and_o therefore_o the_o jew_n and_o all_o other_o man_n who_o have_v not_o unless_o from_o the_o disparile_a state_n of_o humane_a affair_n and_o the_o unequal_a fortune_n of_o man_n know_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o the_o jew_n nation_n be_v more_o belove_v by_o god_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n though_o the_o jew_n exceed_v not_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o perfection_n of_o humane_a nature_n or_o in_o their_o inclination_n to_o virtue_n and_o piety_n as_o may_v be_v soon_o collect_v from_o their_o history_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o miracle_n teach_v not_o man_n the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o providence_n and_o find_v myself_o at_o liberty_n to_o proceed_v to_o my_o x._o three_o position_n which_o you_o may_v remember_v to_o be_v this_o that_o according_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n themselves_o by_o the_o decree_n and_o command_v of_o god_n and_o consequent_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n nothing_o else_o be_v signify_v but_o the_o six_o and_o immutable_a order_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o god_n or_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o do_v real_o mean_a no_o other_o but_o this_o that_o the_o fact_n be_v perform_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o order_n of_o nature_n not_o as_o the_o vulgar_a think_v that_o nature_n cease_v to_o proceed_v in_o her_o due_a course_n whilst_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o do_v or_o that_o her_o order_n be_v for_o some_o time_n interrupt_v the_o scripture_n indeed_o do_v not_o direct_o teach_v such_o thing_n which_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o doctrine_n thereof_o because_o it_o design_n not_o to_o show_v the_o natural_a cause_n of_o thing_n nor_o to_o teach_v thing_n mere_o speculative_a and_o therefore_o what_o i_o here_o propose_v to_o myself_o to_o
