theologiae_n sunt_fw-la tantum_fw-la credita_fw-la so_o that_o all_o the_o weight_n be_v lay_v on_o this_o inevidence_n brief_o my_o reason_n for_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o object_n of_o divine_a faith_n be_v these_o 1._o if_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o deus_fw-la est_fw-la verax_n &_o deus_fw-la haec_fw-la testatur_fw-la that_o god_n be_v true_a of_o his_o word_n and_o that_o this_o be_v his_o word_n or_o revelation_n than_o faith_n have_v evident_a principle_n but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o into_o these_o principle_n we_o resolve_v all_o point_n of_o faith_n whatsoever_o god_n witness_v be_v true_a but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n judgement_n etc._n etc._n god_n witness_v or_o reveal_v therefore_o that_o god_n be_v true_a we_o have_v the_o same_o evidence_n as_o that_o he_o be_v perfect_o good_a and_o that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n i_o take_v to_o be_v as_o evident_a a_o truth_n as_o any_o in_o nature_n to_o reason_n though_o god_n himself_o be_v so_o far_o above_o our_o comprehension_n that_o this_o be_v a_o divine_a revelation_n have_v also_o its_o evidence_n in_o evident_a miracle_n seal_v it_o to_o the_o first_o witness_n and_o in_o evident_o infallible_a tradition_n deliver_v down_o to_o we_o the_o record_n with_o the_o seal_n i_o doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o some_o humane_a testimony_n afford_v such_o a_o certainty_n as_o be_v unquestionable_a because_o of_o the_o evidence_n of_o that_o certainty_n as_o that_o king_n james_n be_v king_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n and_o of_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n we_o have_v as_o great_a and_o in_o itself_o far_o great_a but_o of_o this_o elsewhere_o 2._o if_o divine_a faith_n give_v we_o a_o certainty_n without_o objective_a evidence_n than_o it_o be_v miraculous_a or_o contrary_a to_o nature_n or_o at_o least_o above_o it_o not_o only_o as_o rectify_v disable_v nature_n which_o i_o grant_v but_o as_o move_v man_n not_o as_o man_n or_o the_o intellect_n not_o as_o a_o intellect_n which_o know_v natural_o no_o other_o action_n but_o upon_o fit_a object_n and_o what_o be_v wrought_v by_o they_o it_o know_v no_o apprehension_n of_o truth_n but_o as_o it_o be_v apparent_a or_o evidence_v truth_n to_o understand_v this_o axiom_n to_o be_v true_a all_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v and_o to_o see_v no_o evidence_n of_o its_o truth_n be_v contradiction_n 3._o at_o lest_o it_o can_v be_v conclude_v in_o general_a that_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o evident_a to_o any_o in_o that_o they_o be_v evident_a not_o only_o to_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n themselves_o but_o to_o all_o the_o church_n in_o that_o age_n where_o they_o wrought_v their_o miracle_n for_o as_o the_o formale_a fidei_fw-la objectum_fw-la viz._n veracitas_fw-la revelantis_fw-la be_v evident_a to_o nature_n and_o so_o to_o all_o that_o have_v not_o lose_v reason_n so_o that_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n or_o revealer_n be_v evident_a to_o all_o they_o who_o eye_n and_o ear_n be_v witness_n of_o the_o frequent_a miracle_n language_n and_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o the_o truth_n be_v then_o seal_v by_o god_n 4._o that_o which_o have_v no_o evidence_n can_v be_v rational_o preach_v to_o the_o world_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n may_v be_v rational_o preach_v to_o the_o world_n therefore_o preach_v have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n to_o man_n conversion_n it_o be_v a_o show_v man_n the_o evidence_n of_o gospel_n truth_n and_o the_o goodness_n of_o gospel_n object_n and_o so_o thereby_o persuade_v man_n to_o believe_v the_o one_o and_o love_n and_o accept_v the_o other_o he_o that_o do_v not_o praedicare_fw-la evidentiam_fw-la veritatis_fw-la evangelicae_fw-la do_v not_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o the_o first_o respect_n as_o he_o that_o preach_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n do_v not_o preach_v it_o in_o the_o other_o preach_v be_v not_o like_o christ_n lay_v on_o clay_n and_o spittle_n which_o have_v no_o natural_a tendency_n to_o open_v the_o eye_n for_o the_o effect_n of_o preach_v as_o such_o be_v not_o miraculous_a no_o nor_o supernatural_o otherwise_o then_o as_o the_o doctrine_n preach_v be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o supernatural_a cause_n and_o so_o
