insomuch_o that_o christ_n say_v of_o they_o for_o their_o perverseness_n that_o the_o publican_n and_o harlot_n enter_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n before_o they_o mat._n 21.31_o the_o kingdom_n

1_o cor._n 15._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o all_o dye_n but_o be_v change_v and_o as_o he_o more_o express_o show_v we_o 1_o thess_n 3.17_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o

and_o which_o he_o will_v certain_o do_v if_o we_o do_v not_o obstruct_v his_o mercy_n and_o so_o let_v down_o his_o new_a jerusalem_n among_o we_o the_o verse_n be_v these_o and_o since_o man_n

after_o all_o i_o know_v no_o other_o objection_n to_o be_v make_v in_o this_o matter_n historical_a objection_n historical_a but_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v rather_o figurative_a than_o real_a and_o that_o all_o example_n of_o this_o nature_n have_v be_v rather_o dispensation_n of_o providence_n by_o way_n of_o singular_a favour_n than_o true_a and_o design_v object_n for_o our_o

and_o i_o have_v the_o rather_o state_v this_o objection_n here_o because_o i_o know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o epidemic_a and_o reign_v error_n of_o the_o age_n the_o common_a vogue_n run_v miracle_n be_v cease_v the_o light_n of_o prophecy_n be_v extinguish_v and_o so_o far_o they_o be_v right_a as_o they_o manifest_o be_v through_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o age._n but_o say_v they_o further_o this_o our_o darkness_n alas_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o be_v design_v we_o all_o along_o all_o our_o glorious_a dispensation_n be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n and_o for_o the_o better_a and_o more_o sure_a establishment_n of_o christianity_n but_o sure_o in_o this_o they_o be_v out_o or_o else_o neither_o the_o purport_n of_o scripture_n nor_o history_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v which_o have_v both_o express_o deliver_v we_o the_o contrary_a thus_o do_v we_o consult_v scripture_n what_o be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o god_n all_o along_o distribute_v his_o gift_n without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o that_o throughout_o all_o age_n if_o we_o begin_v with_o adam_n in_o paradise_n it_o be_v not_o many_o generation_n ere_o we_o come_v to_o enoch_n and_o after_o that_o to_o noah_n and_o so_o if_o we_o pass_v by_o the_o age_n of_o the_o flood_n how_o soon_o appear_v the_o holy_a melchizedeck_v and_o the_o series_n of_o prophet_n in_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob._n after_o these_o i_o may_v add_v appear_v the_o great_a luminary_n moses_n who_o indeed_o almost_o make_v a_o nation_n of_o prophet_n after_o he_o but_o think_v you_o he_o alone_o and_o his_o contemporary_n have_v such_o peculiar_a favour_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o revelation_n no_o a_o whole_a series_n of_o prophet_n reach_v even_o from_o moses_n to_o christ_n and_o scarce_o a_o century_n pass_v but_o what_o some_o pious_a jew_n or_o other_o prove_v as_o a_o further_a assistant_n to_o the_o decay_a faith_n of_o the_o world_n indeed_o for_o some_o time_n before_o our_o saviour_n birth_n a_o universal_a spiritual_a darkness_n begin_v to_o overspread_v the_o earth_n and_o as_o well_o the_o prophet_n as_o the_o urim_n and_o thummim_n begin_v to_o disappear_v but_o sure_o the_o gloomy_a night_n be_v full_o answer_v by_o the_o glorious_a dawn_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n christ_n jesus_n hitherto_o therefore_o i_o think_v we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o either_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v false_a or_o that_o neither_o miracle_n nor_o prophecy_n ever_o real_o cease_v or_o be_v design_v to_o do_v so_o i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o that_o it_o may_v seem_v from_o hence_o as_o if_o mankind_n at_o time_n have_v be_v so_o blind_a and_o wicked_a that_o we_o have_v have_v few_o of_o the_o more_o illustrious_a saint_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o infidelity_n of_o mankind_n have_v seem_v to_o drown_v we_o in_o night_n till_o the_o more_o glorious_a dispensation_n of_o god_n providence_n have_v open_v our_o eye_n but_o if_o such_o be_v our_o case_n and_o as_o it_o real_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o other_o let_v we_o true_o learn_v to_o reason_n aright_o and_o to_o vindicate_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o ourselves_o in_o such_o our_o infidelity_n but_o to_o pass_v by_o all_o these_o more_o illustrious_a track_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a writ_n and_o those_o stupendous_a wonder_n that_o be_v wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n let_v we_o examine_v a_o little_a how_o after-age_n follow_v i_o must_v confess_v we_o can_v expect_v the_o same_o authority_n for_o what_o we_o write_v in_o this_o case_n as_o what_o we_o can_v before_o in_o the_o scripture_n because_o we_o have_v no_o such_o evidence_n since_o for_o our_o proof_n but_o sure_o otherwise_o if_o history_n may_v be_v believe_v or_o if_o the_o credit_n of_o best_a of_o writer_n may_v be_v regard_v the_o age_n after_o christ_n have_v no_o more_o want_v their_o luminary_n than_o those_o after_o moses_n thus_o shall_v we_o consult_v eusebius_n he_o tell_v you_o not_o only_o that_o holy_a pelycarp_n lib._n 4._o cap._n 15._o be_v warn_v by_o vision_n of_o his_o martyrdom_n by_o fire_n dream_v the_o night_n before_o that_o his_o

to_o support_v he_o under_o his_o martyrdom_n or_o if_o you_o want_v other_o passage_n of_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o primitive_a christian_n read_v but_o his_o lib._n the_o 5_o and_o
