reason_n befriend_v religion_n by_o lay_v its_o corner_n stone_n and_o the_o next_o to_o this_o be_v the_o other_o principle_n mention_v ii_o the_o divine_a authority_n of_o scripture_n this_o also_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v by_o reason_n and_o only_o by_o it._n the_o great_a argument_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o miracle_n wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n our_o saviour_n himself_o use_v this_o argument_n to_o gain_v credit_n to_o his_o doctrine_n believe_v i_o for_o the_o work_v sake_n the_o work_n that_o i_o do_v bear_v testistimony_n of_o i_o and_o if_o i_o have_v not_o do_v among_o they_o the_o work_n that_o no_o other_o man_n do_v they_o have_v have_v no_o sin_n joh._n 15.24_o and_o the_o apostle_n continual_o urge_v that_o great_a miracle_n the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o the_o conviction_n both_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o doctrine_n true_a now_o miracle_n be_v a_o argument_n to_o our_o reason_n and_o we_o reason_n from_o they_o thus_o miracle_n be_v god_n seal_n and_o they_o be_v wrought_v by_o his_o power_n and_o he_o be_v true_a and_o good_a and_o will_v not_o lend_v these_o to_o impostor_n to_o cheat_v and_o abuse_v mankind_n therefore_o whoever_o work_v real_a miracle_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o any_o doctrine_n it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o commissioned_n to_o teach_v we_o and_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v record_v of_o they_o be_v matter_n of_o testimony_n and_o reason_n clear_v the_o validity_n of_o this_o by_o the_o aggregation_n of_o multitude_n of_o circumstance_n which_o show_n that_o the_o first_o relator_n can_v not_o be_v deceive_v themselves_o and_o will_v not_o deceive_v we_o nor_o indeed_o can_v in_o the_o main_a matter_n if_o they_o have_v design_v it_o and_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o conveyance_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o we_o be_v evince_v also_o by_o numerous_a convictive_a reason_n so_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v secure_a and_o that_o such_o doctrine_n be_v teach_v as_o be_v ascribe_v to_o those_o divine_a person_n and_o those_o person_n inspire_v that_o pen_v they_o be_v prove_v the_o same_o way_n and_o so_o it_o follow_v from_o the_o whole_a that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o that_o thus_o reason_n prove_v the_o divine_a authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o those_o other_o argument_n that_o use_v to_o be_v produce_v for_o it_o from_o its_o style_n and_o its_o influence_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n from_o the_o excellency_n of_o its_o design_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o preserve_v it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o sort_n though_o not_o of_o the_o same_o strength_n reason_n then_o prove_v the_o scripture_n and_o this_o only_a for_o that_o they_o be_v from_o god_n be_v not_o know_v immediate_o by_o sense_n and_o there_o be_v no_o distinct_a revelation_n that_o be_v certain_a and_o infallible_a to_o assure_v we_o of_o it_o and_o so_o reason_n only_o remain_v to_o demonstrate_v this_o other_o fundamental_a article_n these_o two_o great_a truth_n the_o existence_n of_o god_n and_o authority_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o first_o in_o our_o religion_n and_o they_o be_v conclusion_n of_o reason_n and_o foundation_n of_o faith_n thus_o brief_o of_o those_o principle_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v fundamental_o such_o we_o have_v see_v how_o reason_n serve_v they_o by_o demonstrate_v their_o truth_n and_o certainty_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o principle_n viz._n those_o that_o be_v formal_o so_o they_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n mix_v and_o pure_a the_o mix_v be_v those_o that_o be_v discover_v by_o reason_n and_o declare_v by_o revelation_n also_o and_o so_o be_v principle_n both_o of_o reason_n and_o faith_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v the_o attribute_n of_o god_n moral_a good_a and_o evil_a and_o the_o immortality_n of_o humane_a soul_n the_o principle_n of_o pure_a faith_n be_v such_o as_o be_v know_v only_o by_o divine_a testimony_n as_o the_o miraculous_a conception_n the_o incarnation_n and_o the_o trinity_n the_o first_o sort_n reason_n prove_v as_o well_o as_o scripture_n this_o i_o show_v brief_o in_o the_o allege_a instance_n 1._o that_o the_o divine_a attribute_n be_v reveal_v in_o the_o holy_a oracle_n it_o be_v clear_a and_o they_o be_v deduce_v from_o reason_n also_o for_o it_o be_v a_o general_a principle_n of_o all_o mankind_n that_o god_n be_v a_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o hence_o reason_n conclude_v all_o the_o particular_a attribute_n of_o his_o be_v since_o wisdom_n goodness_n power_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v perfection_n and_o imply_v nothing_o of_o imperfection_n or_o defect_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o infinite_o perfect_a essence_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v moral_a good_a and_o evil_a s_o discoverable_a by_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o scripture_n for_o these_o be_v reason_n maxim_n that_o every_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o a_o end_n and_o every_o thing_n be_v direct_v to_o its_o end_n by_o certain_a rule_n these_o rule_n in_o creature_n of_o understanding_n and_o choice_n be_v law_n and_o the_o transgress_a these_o be_v vice_n and_o sin_n 3._o the_o immortality_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v plain_a in_o scripture_n and_o reason_n prove_v it_o by_o show_v the_o spirituality_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o that_o it_o do_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o sense_n and_o our_o perception_n of_o spiritual_a being_n and_o universals_z of_o logical_a metaphysical_a and_o mathematical_a notion_n from_o our_o compound_v proposition_n and_o draw_v conclusion_n from_o they_o from_o the_o vastness_n and_o quickness_n of_o our_o imagination_n and_o liberty_n of_o our_o will_n all_o which_o be_v beyond_o the_o power_n of_o matter_n and_o therefore_o argue_v a_o be_v that_o be_v spiritual_a and_o consequent_o immortal_a which_o inference_n the_o philosophy_n of_o spirit_n prove_v also_o the_o moral_a argument_n of_o reason_n from_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n in_o distribute_v reward_n and_o punishment_n the_o nature_n of_o virtue_n and_o tendency_n of_o religious_a appetite_n conclude_v i_o think_v strong_o that_o there_o be_v a_o life_n after_o this_o thus_o in_o short_a of_o the_o principle_n i_o call_v mix_v which_o reason_n demonstrate_v but_o for_o the_o other_o viz._n ii_o those_o of_o pure_a revelation_n reason_n can_v prove_v they_o immediate_o nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o it_o shall_v for_o they_o be_v matter_n of_o testimony_n and_o we_o be_v no_o more_o to_o look_v for_o immediate_a proof_n from_o reason_n of_o those_o thing_n than_o we_o be_v to_o expect_v that_o abstract_a reason_n shall_v demonstrate_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o place_n as_o china_n or_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o julius_n caesar._n all_o that_o it_o can_v do_v here_o be_v to_o assert_v and_o make_v good_a the_o credibility_n and_o truth_n of_o the_o testimony_n that_o relate_v such_o matter_n and_o that_o it_o do_v in_o the_o present_a case_n prove_v the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o thereby_o in_o a_o remote_a way_n it_o demonstrate_v all_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o divine_a oracle_n immediate_o discover_v and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o disparagement_n to_o our_o reason_n that_o they_o can_v evince_v those_o sacred_a article_n by_o their_o own_o unaided_a force_n than_o it_o be_v a_o disgrace_n unto_o they_o that_o they_o can_v know_v that_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o colour_n without_o the_o help_n of_o our_o eye_n or_o that_o there_o be_v sound_n without_o the_o faculty_n of_o hear_v and_o if_o reason_n must_v be_v call_v blind_a upon_o this_o account_n because_o it_o can_v know_v of_o itself_o such_o thing_n as_o belong_v to_o testimony_n to_o discover_v the_o best_a eye_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v so_o account_v also_o because_o they_o be_v not_o sagacious_a enough_o to_o see_v sound_n and_o the_o best_a palate_n dull_a and_o dead_a because_o it_o can_v taste_v the_o sunbeam_n but_o though_o i_o have_v say_v that_o reason_n can_v of_o itself_o immediate_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o pure_a revelation_n yet_o 1_o it_o demonstrate_v the_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o testimony_n that_o declare_v they_o and_o that_o way_n prove_v even_o these_o article_n if_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o i_o add_v the_o second_o assertion_n ii_o that_o reason_n defend_v all_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n and_o for_o this_o i_o must_v desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v two_o way_n whereby_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v defend_v viz._n either_o 1_o by_o show_v the_o manner_n how_o the_o thing_n be_v or_o if_o that_o can_v
