we_o under_o the_o great_a trial_n and_o suffering_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n as_o the_o purchase_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v in_o

sufficient_a mean_n of_o conviction_n so_o near_o at_o hand_n if_o they_o will_v but_o hearken_v to_o they_o and_o make_v use_n of_o they_o abraham_n say_v unto_o he_o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o but_o the_o rich_a man_n press_v his_o request_n further_o upon_o this_o reason_n that_o they_o may_v not_o perhaps_o be_v move_v by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n nay_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o will_v not_o be_v move_v by_o they_o for_o they_o have_v always_o have_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o remain_v impenitent_a but_o if_o a_o special_a messenger_n shall_v be_v send_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a this_o certain_o can_v not_o fail_v to_o awaken_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n v._o 30._o and_o he_o say_v nay_o father_n abraham_n but_o if_o one_o go_v unto_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a they_o will_v repent_v to_o which_o abraham_n make_v this_o peremptory_a reply_n if_o they_o hear_v not_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n 12._o ser._n 12._o neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a in_o which_o word_n abraham_n absolute_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o probability_n much_o less_o certainty_n that_o those_o who_o reject_v a_o public_a credible_a revelation_n of_o god_n such_o as_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v shall_v be_v effectual_o convince_v by_o a_o messenger_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o our_o saviour_n bring_v in_o abraham_n deliver_v himself_o very_o positive_o in_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v presume_v it_o to_o be_v our_o saviour_n own_o sense_n and_o may_v rely_v upon_o it_o for_o a_o truth_n which_o however_o at_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o evident_a yet_o i_o hope_v in_o the_o progress_n of_o this_o discourse_n to_o make_v it_o sufficient_o clear_a but_o before_o i_o undertake_v that_o i_o shall_v promise_v a_o caution_n or_o two_o to_o prevent_v all_o mistake_n in_o this_o matter_n first_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v these_o word_n too_o strict_o and_o rigorous_o as_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v simple_o and_o in_o itself_o impossible_a that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v not_o convince_v by_o hear_v or_o read_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n any_o other_o way_n for_o it_o be_v very_o possible_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n yea_o and_o likely_a enough_o that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v not_o convince_v by_o calm_a evidence_n and_o persuasion_n may_v yet_o be_v very_o much_o wrought_v upon_o by_o a_o strange_a and_o amaze_a accident_n and_o if_o one_o who_o he_o have_v know_v when_o he_o be_v alive_a shall_v appear_v to_o he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o declare_v the_o certainty_n of_o a_o future_a state_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o thing_n in_o another_o world_n there_o be_v little_a doubt_n to_o be_v make_v but_o that_o this_o will_v more_o rouse_v and_o awaken_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o danger_n than_o all_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n word_n and_o it_o be_v very_o possible_a that_o by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n grace_n this_o may_v prove_v a_o effectual_a mean_n to_o convince_v such_o a_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n and_o if_o all_o circumstance_n be_v due_o consider_v that_o this_o shall_v general_o have_v a_o permanent_a effect_n upon_o man_n so_o as_o thorough_o to_o reclaim_v such_o person_n as_o do_v obstinate_o resist_v the_o light_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n word_n second_o another_o caution_n i_o will_v give_v be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v these_o word_n so_o as_o to_o weaken_v the_o force_n of_o that_o argument_n from_o miracle_n for_o the_o proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o a_o divine_a doctrine_n as_o if_o our_o saviour_n intend_v to_o insinuate_v that_o miracle_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a and_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o convince_v men._n for_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o here_o oppose_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n to_o a_o miraculous_a testimony_n but_o he_o advance_v the_o public_a evidence_n and_o testimony_n which_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n have_v above_o the_o evidence_n of_o a_o single_a and_o private_a miracle_n for_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n have_v their_o confirmation_n from_o miracle_n and_o miracle_n be_v the_o great_a evidence_n and_o attestation_n which_o god_n have_v always_o give_v to_o the_o divinity_n of_o any_o person_n or_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o abraham_n can_v be_v think_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o miracle_n when_o he_o say_v if_o they_o hear_v not_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a nay_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o that_o that_o this_o reason_n of_o his_o be_v rather_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o miracle_n for_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n have_v the_o confirmation_n of_o many_o and_o great_a of_o public_a and_o unquestionable_a miracle_n a_o credible_a relation_n whereof_o be_v convey_v down_o to_o after_o age_n so_o that_o if_o rational_a mean_n of_o conviction_n be_v the_o thing_n desire_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o persuade_v by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o themselves_o to_o have_v have_v the_o confirmation_n of_o so_o many_o undoubted_a miracle_n shall_v in_o reason_n be_v convince_v by_o a_o private_a and_o single_a miracle_n these_o consideration_n be_v premise_v by_o way_n of_o caution_n i_o come_v now_o to_o make_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v here_o assert_v in_o the_o text._n and_o for_o the_o full_a clear_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o these_o two_o proposition_n first_o that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v do_v more_o for_o the_o conviction_n of_o man_n than_o to_o afford_v they_o a_o stand_a revelation_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n such_o as_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v and_o if_o so_o than_o second_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v very_o improbable_a that_o those_o who_o reject_v this_o public_a revelation_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v effectual_o convince_v though_o one_o shall_v speak_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a first_o that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v do_v more_o for_o the_o conviction_n of_o man_n than_o to_o afford_v they_o a_o stand_a revelation_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n such_o as_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v this_o be_v strong_o imply_v in_o abraham_n first_o answer_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v have_v such_o mean_n of_o conviction_n so_o near_o at_o hand_n why_o shall_v they_o desire_v and_o expect_v any_o other_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o that_o of_o god_n providence_n god_n do_v not_o common_o prove_v his_o providence_n to_o man_n by_o extraordinary_a instance_n of_o his_o power_n and_o by_o change_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n to_o convince_v every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o govern_v it_o but_o by_o stand_v testimony_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o goodness_n by_o these_o god_n do_v sufficient_o satisfy_v considerate_a man_n of_o his_o government_n and_o care_n of_o the_o world_n and_o though_o he_o do_v seldom_o manifest_v himself_o in_o supernatural_a and_o extraordinary_a way_n yet_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v himself_o without_o a_o witness_n by_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o return_n of_o day_n and_o night_n in_o the_o revolution_n of_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n in_o that_o he_o give_v we_o rain_v from_o heaven_n and_o fruitful_a season_n fill_v our_o heart_n with_o food_n and_o gladness_n and_o these_o stand_a argument_n of_o his_o providence_n though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o take_v notice_n of_o because_o they_o be_v so_o common_a yet_o be_v they_o daily_a miracle_n and_o we_o can_v hardly_o imagine_v great_a and_o we_o shall_v be_v strange_o
