A19355 One God, one fayth.

and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n hould_v of_o they_o but_o one_o way_n it_o manifest_o follow_v that_o the_o contrary_a believer_n of_o those_o point_n do_v err_v in_o their_o belief_n and_o consequent_o for_o want_v of_o this_o true_a implicit_a and_o necessary_a faith_n can_v be_v save_v 3._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o it_o be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o virtue_n infuse_v &_o such_o ●e_a faith_n hope_n &_o charity_n that_o every_o such_o virtue_n be_v whole_o extinguish_v by_o any_o one_o act_n contrary_a to_o the_o say_a virtue_n thus_o for_o example_n one_o

destroy_v the_o whole_a virtue_n of_o hope_n then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n one_o heresy_n whole_o corrupt_v &_o extinguish_v all_o true_a ●ayth_n therefore_o see_v faith_n be_v a_o theological_a and_o infuse_a virtue_n this_o faith_n be_v de●royed_v with_o one_o act_n of_o heresy_n whether_o it_o ●e_v about_o purgatory_n prayer_n to_o saint_n freewill_n or_o any_o other_o controversy_n

infuse_a faith_n touch_v any_o article_n of_o christian_a religion_n whether_o they_o concern_v the_o trinity_n or_o the_o incarnation_n or_o any_o other_o fundamental_a point_n which_o he_o may_v

apostle_n assure_v us._n 4._o a_o four_o reason_n shall_v be_v this_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o what_o general_a propension_n nature_n or_o rather_o god_n himself_o by_o nature_n as_o by_o his_o instrument_n have_v engraft_v in_o all_o man_n the_o same_o be_v in_o itself_o most_o true_a certain_a and_o warrantable_a as_o for_o example_n nature_n have_v implant_v in_o each_o man_n soul_n a_o secret_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n &_o transgression_n commit_v as_o also_o a_o fear_n of_o future_a punishment_n to_o be_v inflict_v for_o the_o say_a sin_n perpetrate_v therefore_o from_o hence_o it_o may_v infallible_o be_v conclude_v that_o sin_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v and_o that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o retribution_n of_o punishment_n for_o our_o offence_n act_v in_o this_o world_n since_o otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v god_n shall_v insert_v in_o man_n soul_n idle_o vain_o and_o as_o direct_v to_o no_o end_n certain_a natural_a impression_n

now_o to_o apply_v this_o we_o find_v both_o by_o history_n and_o by_o experience_n that_o diverse_a zealous_a &_o fervent_a professor_n of_o all_o religion_n whatsoever_o both_o true_a and_o false_a have_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o expose_v their_o life_n in_o defence_n of_o any_o impugn_a part_n or_o branch_n of_o their_o religion_n from_o which_o undaunted_a resolution_n of_o they_o we_o certain_o collect_v that_o this_o their_o constant_a determination_n of_o defend_v the_o least_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n proceed_v from_o a_o general_a instinct_n of_o god_n impress_v in_o
