we_o can_v deny_v hence_o by_o the_o way_n it_o follow_v that_o no_o protestant_n or_o puritan_n do_v believe_v god_n if_o they_o ground_n their_o faith_n upon_o the_o evidence_n they_o pretend_v to_o

will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a guide_n for_o himself_o but_o see_v christian_a faith_n must_v stretch_v further_a than_o humane_a capacity_n there_o must_v be_v some_o supernatural_a help_n in_o

or_o god_n do_v propose_v supernatural_a truth_n the_o sign_n must_v be_v also_o supernatural_a and_o because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a difference_n between_o humane_a understanding_n god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v his_o church_n discernible_a by_o sensible_a and_o visible_a supernatural_a sign_n that_o they_o who_o have_v least_o understanding_n may_v not_o have_v less_o faith_n than_o the_o most_o witty_a and_o learned_a if_o they_o will_v but_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o reflect_v upon_o what_o they_o see_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o can_v pretend_v ignorance_n

the_o true_a and_o catholic_n church_n be_v know_v consist_v not_o in_o exterior_a formality_n that_o may_v take_v their_o beginning_n from_o humane_a policy_n or_o from_o a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o decency_n and_o good_a order_n the_o protestant_a church_n of_o england_n have_v as_o few_o sign_n of_o supernatural_a grace_n as_o any_o other_o pretend_v reformation_n yet_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o some_o it_o look_v pretty_o and_o be_v more_o decent_a in_o the_o service_n than_o other_o northern_a church_n of_o lutheran_n and_o some_o of_o their_o nags-bead_n minister_n affect_v a_o
