consequence_n will_v any_o deny_v that_o faith_n to_o what_o be_v reveal_v be_v a_o due_a which_o we_o owe_v not_o only_o to_o god_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o truth_n but_o likewise_o to_o ourselves_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o safe_a conduct_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v like_a to_o be_v no_o dispute_n whether_o faith_n in_o general_n can_v make_v man_n wise_a the_o dispute_n be_v only_o upon_o this_o point_n what_o kind_n of_o faith_n in_o particular_a it_o must_v be_v that_o make_v man_n wise_a and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o mankind_n lie_v under_o a_o common_a prejudice_n against_o what_o be_v true_a in_o reference_n to_o this_o point_n for_o we_o may_v observe_v it_o to_o obtain_v in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o faith_n adapt_v to_o make_v a_o wise_a man_n must_v be_v a_o cautious_a and_o reserve_v faith_n because_o all_o forwardness_n in_o believe_v expose_v man_n to_o be_v deceive_v and_o yet_o in_o holy_a scripture_n we_o be_v teach_v clean_o contrary_a that_o god_n be_v only_o please_v with_o a_o humble_a and_o ready_a faith_n and_o every_o abatement_n of_o forwardness_n be_v a_o diminution_n of_o its_o value_n our_o saviour_n in_o his_o walk_n to_o emmaus_n call_v his_o disciple_n fool_n because_o they_o be_v slow_a of_o heart_n to_o believe_v and_o soon_o after_o he_o tell_v thomas_n that_o the_o tardiness_n of_o his_o faith_n have_v rob_v it_o of_o its_o blessing_n for_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o have_v not_o see_v and_o yet_o have_v believe_v and_o because_o i_o be_o fall_v upon_o the_o mention_n of_o this_o apostle_n i_o will_v choose_v to_o insist_v a_o little_a upon_o his_o character_n which_o may_v serve_v both_o for_o a_o example_n and_o a_o illustration_n of_o the_o matter_n i_o be_o upon_o thomas_n as_o far_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o all_o the_o mention_n make_v of_o he_o in_o holy_a writ_n be_v a_o man_n bold_a in_o reason_v and_o extreme_o nice_a in_o believe_v which_o be_v a_o character_n that_o by_o the_o standard_n of_o the_o present_a age_n have_v licence_n to_o pass_v for_o a_o indication_n of_o wisdom_n joh._n 14._o 2_o 3_o 4._o we_o have_v a_o passage_n of_o discourse_n wherein_o this_o apostle_n be_v whole_o concern_v there_o our_o saviour_n say_v very_o oblige_o to_o those_o about_o he_o in_o my_o father_n house_n be_v many_o mansion_n i_o go_v to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o you_o and_o whither_o i_o go_v you_o know_v and_o the_o way_n you_o know_v to_o this_o oblige_a declaration_n thomas_n answer_v very_o peremptory_o lord_n we_o know_v not_o whither_o thou_o go_v and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o way_n we_o see_v the_o answer_n be_v direct_o contradict_v to_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n allege_v and_o yet_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o apostle_n think_v himself_o to_o have_v reason_n on_o his_o side_n for_o make_v such_o a_o answer_n let_v we_o imagine_v what_o that_o reason_n may_v be_v it_o be_v possible_a he_o may_v form_v his_o argue_v on_o this_o manner_n lord_n thou_o say_v thou_o be_v go_v to_o thy_o father_n house_n to_o provide_v mansion_n for_o we_o now_o we_o know_v thy_o father_n house_n according_a to_o natural_a generation_n be_v that_o of_o joseph_n and_o mary_n in_o which_o many_o mansion_n be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v but_o if_o thou_o mean_v a_o father_n by_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o generation_n or_o any_o other_o inheritance_n which_o thou_o have_v a_o title_n to_o recommend_v we_o to_o this_o be_v what_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o what_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o say_v to_o we_o something_o that_o we_o may_v believe_v or_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n permit_v we_o to_o be_v incredulous_a and_o to_o say_v we_o know_v not_o whither_o thou_o go_v if_o i_o have_v in_o this_o form_n argue_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o have_v whereof_o to_o retract_v in_o reverence_n to_o his_o subsequent_a better_a understanding_n but_o i_o fear_v i_o have_v say_v nothing_o that_o the_o present_a age_n will_v require_v i_o to_o apologise_v for_o because_o they_o who_o set_v up_o for_o a_o lead_a genius_n please_v themselves_o to_o argue_v in_o the_o very_a same_o method_n to_o justify_v a_o like_a incredulity_n thus_o run_v the_o common_a argument_n we_o can_v believe_v what_o we_o please_v we_o must_v comprehend_v both_o the_o matter_n and_o its_o credibility_n or_o else_o it_o be_v rash_a and_o foolish_a to_o believe_v it_o joh._n 11._o we_o have_v another_o passage_n wherein_o thomas_n be_v whole_o concern_v there_o verse_n 14._o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n our_o friend_n lazarus_n be_v dead_a and_o i_o be_o glad_a for_o your_o sake_n that_o i_o be_v not_o there_o to_o the_o intent_n you_o may_v believe_v this_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n urge_v express_o for_o a_o encouragement_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o yet_o thomas_n his_o reason_v turn_v it_o immediate_o into_o a_o argument_n of_o distrust_n as_o be_v apparent_a from_o what_o he_o say_v to_o his_o fellow_n disciple_n upon_o this_o occasion_n verse_n 16._o let_v we_o also_o go_v that_o we_o may_v die_v with_o he_o the_o key_n of_o his_o meaning_n in_o this_o sentence_n we_o may_v take_v from_o the_o narration_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v then_o in_o galilee_n upon_o the_o news_n of_o lazarus_n his_o sickness_n propose_v to_o go_v into_o judea_n to_o visit_v he_o whereupon_o the_o disciple_n answer_v v._o 8._o master_n the_o jew_n of_o late_o seek_v to_o stone_n thou_o and_o go_v thou_o thither_o again_o now_o this_o thought_n make_v a_o deep_a impression_n upon_o the_o wary_a imagination_n of_o thomas_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o see_v his_o master_n resolve_v to_o go_v he_o wound_v up_o all_o into_o this_o sort_n of_o reason_v despair_n lazarus_n be_v dead_a and_o all_o his_o pain_n and_o fear_n be_v over_o and_o better_o it_o be_v for_o we_o if_o we_o be_v so_o too_o the_o jew_n malice_n be_v bend_v upon_o the_o destruction_n of_o we_o all_o and_o if_o our_o master_n can_v not_o save_v his_o principal_a friend_n from_o death_n what_o hope_n be_v there_o of_o his_o save_v we_o let_v we_o go_v then_o and_o meet_v our_o doom_n as_o patient_o as_o we_o can_v this_o be_v the_o natural_a paraphrase_n of_o what_o thomas_n mean_v by_o that_o sentence_n let_v we_o also_o go_v that_o we_o may_v die_v with_o he_o and_o although_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n he_o owe_v his_o master_n or_o more_o affront_a to_o the_o importance_n of_o what_o he_o have_v then_o say_v yet_o still_o he_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o sound_v reason_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v as_o sound_v as_o any_o other_o man_n be_v and_o bring_v forth_o as_o good_a fruit_n as_o any_o other_o man_n dos_n when_o it_o once_o take_v licence_n to_o scruple_n what_o it_o ought_v to_o believe_v the_o last_o mention_n of_o this_o apostle_n be_v in_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o have_v be_v attest_v to_o he_o by_o evidence_n beyond_o exception_n several_a company_n who_o have_v see_v he_o and_o converse_v with_o he_o several_a time_n to_o who_o he_o have_v expose_v the_o sight_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o wound_n to_o who_o he_o have_v expound_v the_o scripture_n concern_v himself_o with_o who_o he_o have_v break_v the_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o confer_v on_o they_o the_o operative_a benediction_n of_o receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n all_o these_o with_o all_o these_o convince_a token_n have_v tell_v thomas_n that_o christ_n be_v rise_v but_o yet_o thomas_n in_o pure_a wisdom_n will_v not_o believe_v he_o be_v also_o call_v didymus_n say_v the_o text_n and_o i_o think_v that_o allegation_n how_o casual_a soever_o it_o may_v seem_v be_v argumentative_a to_o my_o purpose_n viz._n thomas_n have_v a_o greek_a name_n as_o well_o as_o a_o hebrew_n one_o which_o be_v a_o probable_a argument_n that_o he_o have_v have_v a_o conversation_n with_o the_o greek_n and_o perhaps_o have_v learn_v from_o they_o that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d have_v a_o care_n of_o be_v credulous_a be_v the_o grand_a advice_n of_o one_o of_o their_o sage_n and_o thereupon_o he_o resolve_v not_o to_o believe_v without_o far_a conviction_n than_o all_o this_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o conceive_v reason_n to_o be_v on_o his_o side_n for_o all_o this_o behaviour_n reason_n suggest_v that_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v cautious_a to_o the_o utmost_a lest_o he_o be_v impose_v upon_o reason_n suggest_v that_o when_o he_o have_v his_o choice_n of_o several_a
