what_o he_o see_v and_o feel_v or_o what_o he_o can_v prove_v to_o be_v true_a by_o plain_a and_o undeniable_a reason_n mere_o because_o there_o be_v unconceivable_a difficulty_n in_o it_o as_o there_o be_v in_o every_o thing_n even_o the_o most_o certain_a and_o familiar_a thing_n in_o nature_n and_o if_o reveal_v truth_n be_v not_o more_o unconceivable_a than_o many_o natural_a object_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n why_o shall_v their_o be_v unconceivable_a be_v a_o great_a objection_n against_o believe_v a_o revelation_n than_o it_o be_v against_o believe_v our_o sense_n and_o reason_n in_o matter_n equal_o unconceivable_a serm._n p._n 13._o this_o argument_n be_v easy_o understand_v but_o can_v never_o be_v answer_v and_o therefore_o he_o wise_o resolve_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o believe_v his_o sense_n nor_o his_o reason_n neither_o when_o it_o be_v not_o clear_a but_o perplex_v with_o difficulty_n or_o darken_v doubt_n but_o especial_o when_o there_o be_v a_o remarkable_a and_o manifest_a inconceivableness_n nor_o do_v i_o require_v he_o shall_v but_o my_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v both_o his_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n who_o nature_n be_v so_o mysterious_a that_o he_o can_v conceive_v or_o comprehend_v the_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n of_o they_o that_o though_o he_o see_v man_n and_o beast_n heaven_n and_o earth_n sun_n moon_n and_o star_n he_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o he_o see_v because_o he_o can_v understand_v the_o philosophy_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o see_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n do_v by_o they_o which_o be_v perfect_o unaccountable_a and_o will_v have_v be_v think_v absolute_o impossible_a have_v we_o not_o see_v they_o do_v these_o be_v all_o the_o contradiction_n and_o impossibility_n which_o i_o say_v man_n may_v make_v or_o find_v when_o they_o know_v not_o the_o philosophical_a nature_n of_o thing_n nor_o how_o they_o act_v and_o yet_o will_v be_v reason_v and_o guess_v at_o they_o which_o this_o wise_a author_n call_v a_o sermon_n for_o contradiction_n but_o do_v i_o require_v any_o man_n to_o believe_v contradiction_n nay_o do_v i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o contradiction_n but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v such_o unconceivable_a mystery_n in_o all_o create_a nature_n much_o more_o in_o the_o incomprehensible_a nature_n of_o god_n as_o some_o gotham_n philosopher_n as_o he_o who_o know_v they_o best_o call_v they_o charge_v with_o impossibility_n and_o contradiction_n and_o yet_o these_o gotham_n philosopher_n be_v so_o wise_a as_o not_o to_o disbelieve_v their_o sense_n as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o those_o thing_n how_o unconceivable_a and_o incomprehensible_a soever_o their_o nature_n be_v and_o this_o be_v all_o i_o ask_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o pure_a revelation_n we_o give_v the_o same_o credit_n to_o revelation_n that_o in_o the_o object_n of_o sense_n we_o give_v to_o sense_n i._n e._n not_o to_o disbelieve_v what_o be_v reveal_v as_o that_o god_n have_v a_o eternal_a son_n and_o that_o this_o eternal_a son_n in_o time_n be_v make_v man_n because_o the_o eternal_a generation_n and_o incarnation_n be_v inconceivable_a mystery_n as_o we_o do_v not_o disbelieve_v that_o there_o be_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n because_o human_a generation_n and_o the_o union_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v inconceivable_a mystery_n in_o nature_n towards_o the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o sermon_n i_o answer_v two_o objection_n against_o believe_v a_o revelation_n as_o to_o such_o doctrine_n which_o be_v inconceivable_a and_o incomprehensible_a to_o mere_a natural_a reason_n and_o here_o to_o prepare_v the_o way_n he_o first_o scorn_v the_o objection_n as_o never_o make_v before_o or_o however_o by_o none_o but_o myself_o that_o i_o pass_v over_o know_v and_o very_o dangerous_a objection_n and_o answer_v only_o to_o chimera_n and_o folly_n never_o suggest_v or_o think_v of_o by_o any_o p._n 18._o i_o be_o glad_a to_o find_v that_o he_o grow_v ashamed_a of_o these_o socinian_n chimera_n and_o folly_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o they_o be_v 1._o it_o be_v think_v very_o unnatural_a that_o when_o god_n have_v make_v we_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o therefore_o make_v natural_a reason_n to_o we_o the_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n he_o shall_v require_v we_o to_o believe_v without_o reason_n as_o we_o must_v do_v if_o he_o reveal_v such_o thing_n to_o we_o as_o we_o do_v not_o and_o can_v possible_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o if_o we_o must_v believe_v with_o our_o understanding_n how_o can_v we_o believe_v thing_n which_o we_o can_v understand_v now_o this_o socinian_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o any_o sect_n of_o religious_a ever_o make_v this_o or_o the_o like_a objection_n let_v he_o as_o he_o say_v snuff_v his_o candle_n once_o more_o and_o look_v into_o the_o late_a socinian_n pamphlet_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o their_o zeal_n for_o reason_n in_o this_o cause_n of_o their_o great_a noise_n and_o outcry_n about_o mystery_n nonsense_n contradiction_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o their_o expound_v scripture_n by_o reason_n not_o like_o fool_n but_o like_o wise_a man_n why_o have_v this_o author_n show_v such_o a_o furious_a zeal_n against_o believe_v a_o revelation_n notwithstanding_o any_o objection_n from_o mere_a natural_a reason_n and_o philosophy_n against_o it_o if_o as_o he_o now_o say_v our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n be_v finite_a and_o imperfect_a and_o the_o wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n most_o perfect_a therefore_o he_o may_v reveal_v many_o thing_n to_o we_o to_o be_v believe_v by_o we_o though_o we_o understand_v they_o not_o nor_o have_v any_o other_o cause_n of_o our_o believe_v they_o but_o only_o god_n revelation_n of_o they_o p._n 19_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o true_a than_o what_o he_o say_v that_o reason_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n but_o not_o the_o frail_a fallible_a reason_n of_o man_n but_o the_o infallible_a wisdom_n of_o god_n if_o he_o be_v sincere_a and_o hearty_a in_o this_o we_o be_v perfect_o agree_v for_o this_o be_v the_o very_a doctrine_n of_o my_o sermon_n which_o he_o have_v so_o furious_o oppose_v or_o will_v be_v think_v to_o oppose_v for_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n he_o have_v not_o oppose_v the_o doctrine_n of_o my_o sermon_n but_o in_o his_o own_o language_n his_o own_o chimera_n and_o folly_n but_o here_o be_v either_o a_o fallacy_n in_o his_o word_n or_o he_o give_v up_o his_o cause_n which_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o never_o intend_v the_o question_n be_v not_o absolute_o what_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n but_o what_o be_v so_o to_o we_o now_o if_o he_o will_v allow_v that_o frail_a and_o fallible_a reason_n be_v not_o a_o rule_n to_o we_o than_o we_o may_v believe_v thing_n which_o our_o reason_n do_v not_o approve_v nay_o which_o it_o may_v judge_v improbable_a and_o false_a and_o if_o the_o infallible_a wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o it_o can_v be_v so_o only_o in_o a_o revelation_n and_o then_o we_o may_v and_o must_v believe_v the_o infallible_a wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o a_o revelation_n against_o the_o objection_n of_o frail_n and_o fallible_a reason_n and_o one_o may_v easy_o guess_v there_o be_v something_o amiss_o still_o notwithstanding_o all_o these_o concession_n for_o as_o silly_a a_o objection_n as_o he_o say_v this_o be_v which_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o hear_v he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n own_o that_o i_o have_v answer_v it_o and_o then_o i_o have_v very_o ill_a luck_n indeed_o to_o make_v a_o silly_a objection_n which_o be_v never_o make_v before_o and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v it_o when_o i_o have_v do_v the_o answer_n i_o give_v to_o this_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v not_o true_a for_o we_o do_v understand_v both_o what_o it_o be_v we_o believe_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o believe_v it_o and_o this_o i_o suppose_v may_v pass_v for_o a_o answer_n to_o that_o objection_n but_o than_o it_o be_v far_o object_v that_o we_o believe_v such_o thing_n who_o nature_n we_o can_v understand_v and_o can_v account_v for_o by_o natural_a reason_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o philosophy_n of_o thing_n nor_o do_v it_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o thus_o understand_v and_o comprehend_v for_o then_o as_o i_o have_v show_v we_o must_v no_o more_o believe_v sense_n and_o reason_n than_o revelation_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o good_a answer_n too_o but_o then_o to_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o i_o add_v when_o we_o make_v
