of_o that_o profession_n know_v very_o well_o and_o therefore_o perronius_n gonterius_n arnoldus_fw-la veronius_n and_o other_o jesuit_n have_v loud_o declaim_v against_o reason_n and_o the_o last_o

to_o deny_v and_o renounce_v all_o principle_n of_o reason_n in_o affair_n of_o faith_n absolute_o and_o roundly_o and_o not_o to_o vouchsafe_v a_o answer_n to_o any_o argument_n against_o

like_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o reason_n be_v dangerous_a to_o the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v heed_v this_o man_n speak_v out_o and_o affirm_v direct_o and_o bold_o what_o the_o other_o enemy_n of_o reason_n imply_v but_o will_v not_o own_o this_o be_v a_o method_n to_o destroy_v heretic_n in_o earnest_n but_o the_o mischief_n be_v all_o christian_n and_o all_o other_o religion_n and_o all_o other_o reason_n be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o same_o sword_n this_o book_n and_o method_n of_o veronius_n be_v kind_o receive_v by_o the_o pope_n privilege_v by_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n approve_v by_o cardinal_n archbishop_n bishop_n and_o all_o the_o gallic_a clergy_n as_o solid_a and_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o sorbone_n doctor_n give_v it_o their_o approbation_n and_o recommend_v it_o as_o the_o only_a way_n to_o confute_v heretic_n do_v these_o know_v what_o they_o recommend_v and_o do_v they_o think_v we_o understand_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n if_o so_o we_o kind_o serve_v their_o end_n and_o promote_v their_o design_n in_o the_o way_n which_o they_o account_v best_a while_o we_o vilify_v and_o disparage_v reason_n if_o this_o be_v renounce_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n with_o what_o face_n can_v we_o use_v it_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n or_o any_o other_o point_n of_o the_o roman_a creed_n will_v it_o not_o be_v blameless_a and_o irreprovable_a for_o we_o to_o give_v up_o our_o understanding_n implicit_o to_o the_o dictate_v and_o declaration_n of_o that_o church_n may_v we_o not_o follow_v blind_o whatever_o the_o infallible_a man_n at_o rome_n and_o his_o council_n say_v and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v vain_a self-contradiction_n to_o use_v argument_n against_o their_o decree_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o unreasonable_a or_o to_o allege_v consequence_n from_o scripture_n against_o any_o of_o their_o article_n though_o never_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a oracle_n how_o easy_o may_v they_o rejoin_v when_o we_o dispute_v against_o they_o you_o argue_v from_o reason_n and_o by_o consequence_n but_o reason_n be_v dull_a and_o carnal_a and_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o to_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o high_a matter_n of_o religion_n and_o what_o can_v we_o say_v next_o if_o we_o consent_v to_o the_o accusation_n i_o say_v by_o this_o way_n we_o perfect_o disable_v or_o gross_o contradict_v ourselves_o in_o most_o of_o our_o dispute_n against_o the_o romanist_n and_o we_o be_v very_o disingenuous_a in_o our_o deal_n while_o we_o use_v reason_n against_o they_o and_o deny_v it_o when_o it_o be_v urge_v against_o ourselves_o by_o another_o sort_n of_o adversary_n which_o imply_v that_o when_o we_o say_v reason_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v we_o mean_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v against_o we_o but_o it_o must_v against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o any_o other_o we_o can_v oppugn_v by_o it._n thus_o i_o say_v our_o deny_v reason_n in_o religion_n be_v either_o very_a humoursome_a and_o partial_a or_o it_o be_v a_o direct_a yield_v up_o ourselves_o to_o our_o

say_v be_v fundamental_o of_o religion_n for_o it_o suppose_v and_o stand_v upon_o they_o there_o be_v other_o which_o be_v not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a as_o these_o but_o yet_o very_o

in_o this_o this_o i_o count_v to_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o religion_n general_a and_o christianity_n take_v in_o all_o those_o duty_n and_o all_o the_o principle_n advance_v the_o duty_n to_o noble_a

to_o salvation_n and_o if_o we_o go_v beyond_o the_o creed_n for_o the_o essential_o of_o faith_n who_o can_v tell_v where_o we_o shall_v stop_v the_o sum_n be_v religion_n primary_o be_v duty_n and_o

for_o this_o you_o may_v please_v to_o consider_v that_o reason_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o reason_n in_o the_o faculty_n which_o be_v the_o understanding_n and_o at_o other_o time_n for_o reason_n in_o the_o object_n which_o consist_v in_o those_o principle_n and_o conclusion_n by_o which_o the_o understanding_n be_v inform_v this_o latter_a be_v mean_v in_o the_o dispute_n concern_v the_o

conclusion_n by_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v the_o ground_n of_o any_o man_n philosophy_n nor_o the_o critical_a rule_n of_o syllogism_n but_o those_o imbred_a fundamental_a notice_n that_o god_n have_v implant_v in_o our_o soul_n such_o as_o arise_v not_o from_o external_a object_n nor_o particular_a humour_n or_o imagination_n but_o be_v immediate_o

so_o to_o reason_n from_o these_o two_o result_v their_o correspondence_n and_o agreement_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o and_o here_o i_o may_v easy_o show_v the_o great_a congruity_n that_o there_o be_v between_o that_o light_n and_o those_o law_n that_o god_n have_v place_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n that_o by_o the_o expressness_n of_o his_o write_a word_n
