blind_a and_o ignorant_a as_o some_o make_v they_o and_o their_o most_o heroical_a virtue_n but_o splendid_a sin_n certain_o the_o best_a of_o their_o morality_n will_v not_o be_v worth_a read_n

that_o manifestation_n as_o curcellaeus_n well_o distinguish_v in_o his_o excellent_a dissertation_n de_fw-fr necessitate_v cognitionis_fw-la christi_fw-la i_o insist_v chief_o on_o the_o last_o word_n of_o the_o text._n from_o which_o i_o form_n this_o argument_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v as_o clear_v a_o demonstration_n as_o any_o in_o euclid_n that_o manifestation_n of_o god_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o leave_v any_o void_a of_o excuse_n be_v also_o sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n but_o the_o manifestation_n which_o the_o heathen_a have_v of_o god_n be_v sufficient_a to_o leave_v they_o void_a of_o excuse_n therefore_o the_o manifestation_n which_o the_o heathen_a have_v of_o god_n be_v sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n the_o assumption_n be_v in_o the_o text._n the_o proposition_n be_v almost_o self-evident_a for_o if_o that_o manifestation_n of_o god_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o leave_v any_o void_a of_o excuse_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n which_o be_v the_o contradictory_n proposition_n than_o they_o have_v insufficiency_n to_o plead_v which_o be_v the_o great_a excuse_n and_o so_o the_o proposition_n will_v contradict_v itself_o a_o man_n be_v then_o only_o say_v to_o be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n when_o he_o be_v sufficient_o capacitate_v both_o to_o know_v and_o perform_v his_o duty_n and_o when_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o he_o do_v neither_o be_v his_o own_o avoidable_a negligence_n there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a excuse_n than_o unavoidable_a impotence_n or_o ignorance_n thus_o it_o appear_v from_o express_a scripture_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a by_o due_a advertency_n to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n sufficient_o to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil._n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o demonstrate_v the_o same_o by_o reason_n and_o here_o among_o a_o multitude_n of_o argument_n which_o offer_v themselves_o to_o my_o consideration_n i_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o one_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v over-tedious_a it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n gift_n which_o as_o they_o be_v always_o design_v for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n so_o be_v they_o always_o adapt_v and_o proportionated_a to_o the_o good_a for_o which_o they_o be_v design_v the_o first_o can_v be_v deny_v without_o manifest_a injury_n to_o the_o divine_a goodness_n nor_o the_o second_o without_o disparagement_n to_o his_o wisdom_n since_o therefore_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v one_o of_o god_n gift_n whosoever_o deny_v the_o possibility_n of_o discern_v sufficient_o between_o good_a and_o evil_a by_o due_a advertency_n to_o it_o must_v necessary_o gravel_n himself_o upon_o one_o of_o these_o absurdity_n either_o he_o must_v say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o design_n this_o light_n for_o man_n direction_n and_o then_o why_o do_v he_o give_v it_o he_o it_o have_v not_o the_o least_o aptness_n to_o any_o other_o end_n or_o if_o he_o do_v yet_o that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o then_o why_o do_v god_n design_n it_o for_o such_o a_o end_n i_o need_v not_o apply_v myself_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o dilemma_n for_o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v design_v by_o god_n for_o man_n direction_n be_v plain_a even_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d say_v heirocles_n the_o latter_a part_n i_o perceive_v lie_v open_a to_o this_o exception_n that_o what_o god_n design_n for_o the_o attainment_n of_o any_o end_n be_v then_o only_o of_o necessity_n sufficient_a when_o take_v adequate_o and_o entire_o but_o now_o the_o whole_a which_o god_n design_v for_o man_n direction_n be_v not_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n alone_o but_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o conjunction_n with_o that_o of_o revelation_n be_v these_o two_o light_n always_o inseparable_o unite_v i_o confess_v there_o will_v be_v some_o colour_n in_o the_o evasion_n but_o to_o this_o i_o oppose_v god_n dispensation_n with_o our_o forefather_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o the_o promulgation_n of_o the_o law_n by_o moses_n which_o be_v about_o 2450_o year_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o whole_a which_o god_n design_v for_o their_o direction_n be_v only_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o consequent_o by_o the_o very_a supposition_n of_o the_o objection_n it_o be_v sufficient_a i_o come_v now_o to_o appeal_v to_o the_o write_n of_o the_o heathen_a wherein_o they_o give_v undeniable_a evidence_n of_o what_o i_o have_v be_v hitherto_o prove_v for_o they_o viz._n that_o it_o be_v possible_a by_o due_a advertency_n to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n sufficient_o to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil._n i_o say_v possible_a for_o i_o do_v not_o undertake_v to_o prove_v neither_o be_v it_o my_o opinion_n that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v engrave_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o as_o fair_a character_n as_o upon_o the_o two_o table_n of_o
