the_o least_o intimation_n of_o a_o truth_n by_o divine_a revelation_n will_v make_v i_o embrace_v it_o although_o it_o shall_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o socinian_o in_o the_o world_n reason_n in_o the_o abstract_n or_o the_o just_a measure_n of_o the_o answer_n of_o one_o thing_n unto_o another_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n but_o reason_n that_o be_v what_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v so_o or_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o unto_o this_o or_o that_o man_n especial_o in_o and_o about_o thing_n of_o divine_a revelation_n be_v of_o very_o small_a importance_n of_o none_o at_o all_o where_o it_o rise_v up_o against_o the_o express_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n and_o these_o multiply_v to_o their_o mutual_a confirmation_n and_o explanation_n 3._o many_o thing_n be_v above_o reason_n that_o be_v as_o consider_v in_o this_o or_o that_o subject_n as_o man_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o against_o it_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o compel_v the_o most_o curious_a

be_v so_o in_o thing_n heavenly_a divine_a and_o spiritual_a nay_o there_o be_v no_o concernment_n of_o the_o be_v of_o god_n or_o his_o property_n but_o be_v absolute_o above_o the_o comprehension_n of_o our_o reason_n we_o can_v by_o search_v find_v out_o god_n we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o almighty_a to_o perfection_n 4._o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o all_o their_o objection_n and_o cavil_n against_o this_o truth_n be_v destructive_a of_o as_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o reason_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v all_o at_o best_a reduce_v to_o this_o it_o can_v be_v thus_o

the_o great_a principle_n of_o reason_n itself_o 5._o the_o objection_n these_o man_n principal_o insist_v upon_o be_v mere_o against_o the_o explanation_n we_o use_v of_o this_o doctrine_n not_o

among_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o christian_n in_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o divine_a if_o they_o will_v let_v go_v and_o part_n with_o their_o faith_n in_o any_o truth_n because_o they_o be_v not_o
