the_o apostle_n to_o write_v the_o remainder_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o what_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o write_v design_v that_o the_o trent_n father_n who_o i_o hope_v have_v perfect_v the_o catalogue_n shall_v write_v all_o of_o these_o since_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o rational_a to_o affirm_v it_o be_v upon_o design_n but_o 2._o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o only_o happen_v so_o by_o chance_n he_o do_v affront_v both_o scripture_n and_o god_n holy_a spirit_n who_o as_o they_o affirm_v inspire_v they_o for_o this_o very_a end_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o faith_n and_o to_o salvation_n but_o there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o chance_n in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o order_n to_o a_o end_n by_o the_o design_n impulse_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n he_o certain_o do_v most_o unworthy_o reproach_n his_o maker_n who_o can_v think_v it_o possible_a that_o what_o he_o do_v design_n express_o and_o on_o that_o account_n alone_o to_o attain_v such_o a_o end_n by_o namely_o that_o man_n shall_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o inspire_v it_o for_o that_o purpose_n shall_v yet_o fail_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o purpose_n and_o sure_a if_o it_o be_v sufficient_a it_o contain_v all_o necessary_n otherwise_o it_o be_v deficient_a in_o the_o main_a yea_o so_o clear_o also_o as_o that_o they_o for_o who_o salvation_n they_o be_v intend_v may_v with_o use_n of_o such_o method_n as_o be_v obvious_a and_o agree_v upon_o by_o all_o man_n understand_v they_o for_o otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o be_v sufficient_a if_o man_n can_v not_o be_v instruct_v by_o they_o in_o thing_n necessary_a both_o to_o faith_n and_o life_n they_o can_v not_o make_v they_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n i_o must_v confess_v the_o scripture_n labour_v under_o a_o great_a prejudice_n against_o this_o doctrine_n from_o the_o different_a sense_n and_o interpretation_n that_o be_v make_v of_o it_o even_o in_o the_o most_o fundamental_a point_n by_o they_o that_o grant_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o yet_o all_o use_v the_o same_o mean_n to_o find_v out_o the_o meaning_n and_o no_o doubt_n they_o seek_v sincere_o after_o it_o but_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o evident_a this_o happen_v not_o from_o the_o obscurity_n of_o scripture_n since_o it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o most_o express_a text_n but_o also_o if_o you_o shall_v suppose_v the_o doctrine_n be_v as_o plain_v set_v down_o there_o as_o word_n can_v express_v they_o yet_o there_o be_v such_o principle_n assume_v into_o the_o faith_n of_o different_a sect_n as_o must_v oblige_v they_o to_o interpret_v diverse_o the_o same_o plain_a word_n i_o be_o not_o so_o vain_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o no_o place_n be_v obscure_a in_o scripture_n and_o i_o know_v that_o learned_a man_n have_v art_n by_o obscure_a place_n to_o confound_v the_o plain_a just_a as_o the_o philosopher_n do_v motion_n neither_o be_o i_o so_o perverse_a and_o singular_a not_o to_o think_v that_o universal_a practice_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o church_n do_v much_o assure_v and_o confirm_v explication_n of_o scripture_n whether_o obscure_a or_o plain_a but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o explication_n come_v as_o i_o now_o say_v from_o the_o diversity_n of_o principle_n or_o rather_o prejudices_fw-la and_o that_o this_o only_a be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o i_o thus_o demonstrate_v first_o in_o the_o socinian_n who_o interpret_v all_o those_o scripture_n which_o the_o catholic_a world_n have_v still_o apply_v to_o the_o divinity_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n that_o i_o name_v no_o more_o point_n otherwise_o then_o the_o church_n do_v always_o and_o i_o affirm_v he_o do_v it_o not_o because_o he_o think_v the_o word_n do_v favour_n his_o interpretation_n but_o because_o his_o principle_n require_v it_o namely_o this_o to_o admit_v nothing_o into_o his_o faith_n but_o what_o agree_v with_o that_o which_o he_o count_v reason_n which_o in_o a_o socinian_o faith_n be_v judge_n of_o all_o point_n in_o the_o last_o resort_n and_o i_o mean_v reason_n upon_o natural_a principle_n and_o thus_o i_o prove_v it_o socinus_n speak_v of_o christ_n satisfaction_n say_v the_o word_n be_v not_o in_o scripture_n 204._o yet_o if_o it_o be_v there_o very_o often_o i_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o because_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v with_o right_a reason_n that_o be_v with_o the_o argument_n that_o he_o have_v bring_v against_o it_o draw_v from_o human_a principle_n and_o therefore_o he_o there_o add_v those_o thing_n which_o it_o be_v apparent_a can_v be_v i._n e._n that_o appear_v such_o to_o he_o who_o judge_n by_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n which_o yet_o can_v judge_v of_o supernatural_a and_o infinite_a being_n though_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v express_o say_v they_o be_v yet_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v &_o idcirco_fw-la sacra_fw-la verba_fw-la in_o alium_fw-la sensum_fw-la quam_fw-la ipsa_fw-la sonant_fw-la per_fw-la inusitato_n etiam_fw-la tropos_fw-la quandoque_fw-la explicantur_fw-la and_o for_o this_o reason_n we_o make_v use_v of_o even_o unusual_a trope_n strain_a figure_n to_o explain_v the_o word_n of_o holy_a writ_n to_o other_o sense_n than_o the_o word_n themselves_o import_v and_o so_o he_o therefore_o serve_v that_o great_a variety_n of_o word_n by_o which_o the_o scripture_n do_v express_v christ_n suffering_n for_o our_o sin_n in_o our_o stead_n as_o our_o sacrifice_n against_o the_o universal_a notion_n of_o those_o word_n not_o only_o which_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o which_o the_o jew_n and_o which_o the_o heathen_a world_n have_v of_o they_o and_o when_o his_o reason_n tell_v he_o that_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v god_n one_o with_o his_o father_n that_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o be_v from_o eternity_n as_o that_o he_o be_v not_o at_o all_o till_o he_o have_v a_o be_v from_o the_o bless_a virgin_n therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v direct_o 30._o i_o and_o the_o father_n be_v one_o he_o must_v strain_v it_o to_o this_o meaning_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n we_o agree_v in_o one_o although_o st_n john_n avert_v that_o by_o one_o distinguish_v those_o two_o express_o yea_o worse_n when_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n have_v a_o be_v ere_o the_o world_n be_v make_v we_o urge_v from_o the_o first_o chap._n to_o the_o 12._o hebr._n what_o st_n paul_n produce_v from_o the_o 27._o psalm_n and_o do_v apply_v to_o he_o most_o particular_o thou_o lord_n in_o the_o begin_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o heaven_n be_v the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n they_o shall_v perish_v but_o thou_o remain_v and_o they_o all_o shall_v wax_v old_a as_o do_v a_o garment_n and_o as_o a_o vesture_n shall_v thou_o fold_v they_o up_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v but_o thou_o be_v the_o same_o and_o thy_o year_n shall_v not_o fail_v they_o explain_v it_o thus_o that_o god_n by_o christ_n will_v at_o last_o destroy_v these_o heaven_n and_o this_o earth_n and_o change_v they_o according_a to_o that_o say_n in_o the_o psalm_n which_o although_o the_o apostle_n produce_v at_o length_n as_o it_o stand_v there_o both_o concern_v the_o creation_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o intend_v only_o to_o apply_v this_o last_o to_o christ._n and_o though_o he_o say_v as_o well_o of_o the_o same_o lord_n thou_o lord_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o heaven_n be_v the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n as_o thou_o shall_v change_v they_o yet_o he_o mean_v no_o more_o but_o that_o this_o change_n god_n will_v effect_v by_o christ._n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o text_n can_v give_v any_o the_o least_o countenance_n to_o this_o interpretation_n the_o different_a explication_n of_o this_o scripture_n do_v not_o come_v from_o the_o obscurity_n of_o any_o word_n in_o it_o for_o in_o the_o psalm_n they_o and_o we_o understand_v the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n exact_o therefore_o that_o we_o differ_v here_o be_v not_o from_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n quote_v but_o be_v whole_o from_o the_o principle_n and_o we_o may_v not_o wonder_v for_o the_o plain_a sense_n will_v not_o suit_v with_o their_o hypothesis_n there_o be_v no_o other_o that_o be_v instanced_a in_o as_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n but_o the_o romanist_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o account_v those_o difference_n to_o be_v in_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n it_o if_o that_o be_v true_a that_o they_o allow_v for_o what_o cause_n they_o know_v best_a some_o that_o be_v reconcile_v to_o their_o church_n to_o communicate_v with_o we_o that_o be_v join_v in_o our_o worship_n and_o by_o do_v so_o own_o the_o
