comprehend_v but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v here_o that_o at_o this_o rate_n if_o both_o the_o doctrine_n and_o miracle_n be_v mysterious_a then_o you_o prove_v one_o mystery_n by_o another_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v not_o equal_o mysterious_a for_o a_o mysterious_a doctrine_n be_v total_o obscure_v from_o we_o both_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o in_o a_o miracle_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v obvious_a and_o intelligible_a and_o the_o manner_n only_o of_o the_o operation_n be_v conceal_v and_o therefore_o in_o so_o do_v that_o which_o be_v more_o mysterious_a be_v prove_v by_o that_o which_o be_v less_o so_o but_o this_o blunderer_n will_v tell_v you_o 150._o that_o the_o doctrine_n themselves_o be_v very_o knowable_a in_o all_o respect_n but_o miracle_n be_v whole_o obscure_v as_o to_o the_o m●nner_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o s●me_a breath_n own_o that_o these_o obscure_a miracle_n be_v for_o confirmation_n of_o these_o plain_a doctrine_n this_o be_v another_o pi●c●_n o●_n his_o logic_n to_o prove_v notum_fw-la per_fw-la ignotius_fw-la he_o can_v say_v that_o tho'_o the_o doctrine_n be_v plain_a yet_o that_o they_o come_v from_o god_n be_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o miracle_n be_v to_o assure_v we_o of_o this_o for_o if_o the_o know_v they_o come_v from_o god_n make_v we_o give_v our_o assent_n to_o they_o than_o authority_n be_v a_o ground_n of_o persuasion_n and_o beside_o if_o they_o have_v that_o evidence_n of_o their_o truth_n in_o themselves_o which_o he_o contend_v for_o let_v they_o come_v from_o whence_o they_o will_v we_o must_v give_v our_o assent_n to_o they_o and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o his_o last_o 151._o chapter_n wherein_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v a_o account_n when_o why_o and_o by_o who_o mystery_n be_v bring_v into_o christianity_n there_o be_v not_o here_o so_o much_o as_o a_o pretence_n of_o reason_v but_o several_a vile_a insinuation_n against_o all_o the_o primitive_a christian_n against_o the_o clergy_n of_o all_o age_n and_o against_o christianity_n itself_o make_v it_o as_o it_o be_v now_o profess_v only_o a_o sort_n of_o heathenism_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o it_o in_o all_o respect_v no_o better_a than_o pagan_a priest_n by_o the_o title_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o be_v to_o have_v show_v how_o these_o mystery_n come_v into_o christianity_n but_o instead_o of_o this_o of_o which_o he_o say_v not_o a_o word_n he_o talk_v in_o general_n how_o some_o ceremony_n be_v introduce_v and_o some_o doctrine_n abuse_v to_o superstition_n the_o dispute_n all_o along_o be_v about_o mystery_n and_o now_o it_o be_v turn_v to_o ceremony_n of_o which_o he_o speak_v too_o after_o a_o confuse_a manner_n make_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o orthodox_n and_o heretical_a professor_n but_o charge_v all_o the_o mistake_n and_o error_n of_o every_o sect_n indifferent_o upon_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o general_a that_o miscarriage_n and_o error_n creep_v in_o and_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v corrupt_v and_o abuse_v by_o many_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n to_o superstition_n be_v without_o all_o doubt_n it_o be_v so_o now_o and_o be_v like_a to_o be_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o offence_n come_v but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o those_o who_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o these_o thing_n suppose_v every_o thing_n in_o this_o chapter_n true_a what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o we_o who_o in_o the_o celebration_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n have_v reject_v all_o these_o numerous_a rite_n and_o superstitious_a ceremony_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o as_o for_o those_o ceremony_n retain_v by_o we_o it_o be_v time_n enough_o to_o defend_v they_o when_o he_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o and_o prove_v either_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o celebration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n can_v be_v perform_v without_o any_o ceremony_n or_o that_o those_o which_o we_o have_v retain_v be_v unlawful_a all_o he_o will_v insinuate_v here_o of_o they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v in_o use_n among_o the_o heathen_n and_o the_o force_n of_o what_o he_o say_v if_o it_o have_v any_o be_v this_o heathen_n use_v a_o white_a garment_n in_o their_o idolatrous_a worship_n they_o have_v certain_a time_n and_o place_n and_o person_n and_o action_n appropriate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o their_o idol_n therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o heathen_n use_v wash_n ergò_fw-la 157._o baptism_n be_v unlawful_a the_o heathen_n use_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o honour_n of_o their_o g●ds_n ergò_fw-la the_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n be_v superstitious_a and_o thus_o by_o a_o direct_a and_o immediate_a consequence_n he_o destroy_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n let_v he_o i●_n he_o can_v show_v wh●t_o else_o can_v possible_o be_v infer_v from_o all_o this_o ridiculous_a incoherent_a s●uff_n what_o he_o will_v insinuate_v here_o concern_v the_o sacrament_n be_v that_o by_o a_o multitude_n of_o ceremony_n we_o obscure_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o we_o make_v they_o mysterious_a and_o do_v not_o celebrate_v they_o wi●h_v that_o

from_o the_o people_n in_o short_a let_v he_o make_v out_o that_o he_o have_v any_o other_o drift_n in_o this_o whole_a chapter_n than_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o christianity_n and_o heathenism_n all_o this_o be_v by_o way_n of_o amusement_n to_o people_n who_o do_v not_o know_v when_o a_o man_n speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n ceremony_n be_v not_o mystery_n nor_o do_v they_o make_v a_o thing_n mysterious_a those_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v mystery_n be_v the_o nature_n and_o attribute_n of_o god_n the_o eternal_a generation_n and_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n and_o procession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n in_o christ_n the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n the_o operation_n and_o influence_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o the_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n the_o glory_n and_o felicity_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v the_o mysterious_a doctrine_n of_o our_o religion_n let_v he_o show_v we_o when_o why_o and_o by_o who_o these_o repute_a mystery_n as_o he_o call_v they_o be_v bring_v into_o christianity_n for_o we_o affirm_v that_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o christianity_n by_o christ_n himself_o who_o alone_o be_v able_a to_o reveal_v they_o that_o they_o come_v in_o at_o the_o first_o publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o with_o design_n to_o make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o own_v ourselves_o so_o fond_a of_o they_o that_o we_o 120._o will_v hazard_v any_o thing_n life_n and_o all_o rather_o than_o part_v with_o they_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v go_v through_o his_o book_n and_o answer_v every_o thing_n that_o look_v like_o reason_v in_o it_o if_o he_o will_v show_v i_o where_o i_o have_v overlook_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v the_o appearance_n of_o a_o argument_n or_o where_o my_o answer_n fail_v i_o

1._o to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v by_o scripture_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o any_o point_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n which_o we_o do_v not_o
