concern_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o scripture_n then_o to_o reject_v they_o for_o want_n of_o such_o evidence_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n i_o proceed_v therefore_o to_o my_o second_o assertion_n that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v undeniable_o conclude_v from_o supposition_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o relation_n or_o history_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n i_o have_v already_o show_v and_o that_o the_o rejection_n of_o all_o history_n be_v against_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n be_v evident_a because_o all_o mankind_n receive_v some_o history_n or_o other_o wherefore_o i_o shall_v brief_o show_v 1._o that_o the_o history_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v all_o those_o advantage_n whereof_o any_o history_n be_v capable_a 2._o that_o it_o have_v great_a advantage_n than_o any_o other_o history_n 1._o the_o argument_n induce_v man_n to_o the_o belief_n of_o any_o historical_a relation_n be_v all_o of_o they_o

the_o like_a in_o all_o which_o particular_n no_o history_n in_o the_o world_n can_v just_o pretend_v any_o advantage_n above_o that_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n 1._o for_o the_o credibility_n of_o the_o object_n and_o cognoscibility_n of_o it_o 1._o to_o say_v that_o instance_n of_o supernatural_a power_n and_o wisdom_n be_v impossible_a sol_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o
