of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o proceed_v further_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o and_o then_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o the_o gospel_n the_o christian_a religion_n and_o

from_o whence_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o answer_v the_o next_o question_n 2._o what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o another_o gospel_n when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o another_o

there_o be_v nothing_o either_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o notification_n of_o the_o divine_a will_n concern_v any_o time_n set_v for_o its_o expiration_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o a_o new_a dispensation_n after_o the_o evangelical_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o evangelical_n after_o the_o moysaicall_a i_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a in_o itself_o for_o god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o at_o some_o time_n hereafter_o as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o have_v reveal_v himself_o heretofore_o and_o he_o that_o reveal_v himself_o under_o the_o law_n and_o at_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v if_o he_o so_o please_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n reveal_v himself_o at_o any_o time_n or_o time_n but_o he_o that_o will_v assert_v the_o futurity_n of_o this_o must_v have_v more_o to_o prove_v it_o than_o a_o possibility_n it_o be_v certain_a god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o and_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v by_o revelation_n from_o he_o but_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a certainty_n for_o a_o revelation_n after_o the_o gospel_n or_o in_o aftertime_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n itself_o be_v of_o divine_a revelation_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v the_o only_a revelation_n for_o above_o 1600_o year_n past_a and_o that_o we_o have_v have_v no_o other_o revelation_n than_o that_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o pretence_n any_o person_n or_o age_n make_v to_o it_o be_v almarico_n apparent_o mistake_v and_o imposture_n for_o that_o dispensation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o each_o sect_n fancy_v to_o be_v in_o their_o age_n or_o near_o to_o it_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v if_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o be_v but_o to_o give_v some_o further_a light_n and_o force_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v show_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o proof_n of_o any_o other_o revelation_n than_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o now_o record_v and_o preserve_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o further_a revelation_n 3._o that_o the_o scripture_n shut_v up_o all_o revelation_n with_o itself_o so_o that_o no_o other_o revelation_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v beyond_o it_o 1._o there_o be_v no_o proof_n of_o any_o other_o revelation_n than_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n if_o any_o one_o will_v contend_v that_o there_o either_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o revelation_n he_o must_v have_v some_o revelation_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o that_o must_v either_o be_v a_o antecedent_n revelation_n such_o as_o scripture_n be_v take_v to_o be_v or_o it_o must_v be_v some_o personal_a revelation_n make_v to_o himself_o or_o to_o some_o other_o credible_a person_n or_o person_n but_o where_o be_v the_o revelation_n of_o this_o revelation_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n where_o be_v the_o prediction_n of_o such_o a_o state_n that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v superannuated_a and_o another_o of_o great_a perfection_n shall_v grow_v out_o of_o it_o under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o plain_a signification_n of_o another_o revelation_n to_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o of_o a_o more_o perfect_a state_n of_o thing_n to_o ensue_v but_o where_o be_v the_o proof_n as_o plain_a under_o the_o gospel_n for_o a_o new_a revelation_n as_o there_o be_v for_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n under_o the_o law_n or_o where_o be_v it_o say_v of_o that_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o decay_v or_o be_v antiquate_v and_o wax_v old_a and_o so_o be_v 13._o ready_a to_o or_o shall_v at_o last_o vanish_v away_o our_o apostle_n here_o say_v on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o than_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v if_o it_o be_v a_o personal_a revelation_n than_o we_o may_v reasonable_o demand_v where_o be_v the_o evidence_n for_o such_o a_o revelation_n all_o revelation_n must_v have_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a revelation_n and_o what_o oblige_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o as_o such_o it_o will_v be_v able_a to_o produce_v its_o evidence_n and_o a_o new_a revelation_n must_v suppose_v a_o better_a sort_n of_o evidence_n than_o the_o former_a or_o at_o least_o equal_a to_o it_o there_o must_v be_v the_o like_a wonderful_a work_n the_o blind_a must_v as_o miraculous_o be_v make_v to_o see_v and_o the_o lame_a to_o walk_v and_o the_o disease_a to_o be_v whole_a and_o the_o dead_a to_o rise_v nay_o christ_n himself_o must_v again_o descend_v from_o

evidence_n must_v not_o only_o be_v equal_a but_o superior_a also_o to_o that_o which_o it_o be_v to_o supplant_v it_o be_v not_o only_o fit_a that_o moses_n rod_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o

to_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n 19_o and_o thus_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o advance_v a_o new_a scheme_n of_o thing_n do_v not_o only_o show_v he_o be_v the_o person_n

24._o if_o then_o there_o be_v no_o such_o evidence_n for_o such_o a_o new_a revelation_n where_o there_o be_v a_o pretence_n to_o it_o we_o may_v conclude_v it_o to_o be_v another_o gospel_n a_o
