out_o of_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n i_o grant_v every_o word_n of_o it_o to_o be_v true_a if_o understand_v all_o scripture_n as_o he_o put_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o the_o only_o easy_a and_o short_a way_n be_v to_o understand_v so_o much_o of_o the_o scripture_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o let_v he_o when_o he_o please_v if_o he_o dare_v venture_v

book_n with_o he_o he_o be_v much_o off_o of_o his_o bias_n here_o for_o i_o do_v not_o dispute_v direct_o against_o any_o popish_a doctrine_n but_o use_v such_o collateral_a argument_n as_o be_v very_o evident_a and_o convince_a to_o ordinary_a reader_n but_o so_o much_o out_o of_o the_o road_n that_o the_o jesuit_n can_v find_v nothing_o in_o his_o common-place_n book_n about_o it_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o answer_v any_o one_o section_n of_o my_o book_n but_o yet_o out_o of_o every_o section_n he_o pick_v some_o single_a say_n and_o if_o he_o meet_v with_o a_o

to_o he_o as_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o be_v read_v be_v to_o give_v a_o short_a abstract_n of_o each_o section_n of_o my_o book_n and_o to_o take_v notice_n where_o those_o passage_n come_v in_o which_o he_o call_v calumny_n and_o misrepresentation_n sect_n i._o concern_v idolatry_n i_o show_v the_o great_a design_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v more_o perfect_o to_o
this_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o one_o great_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o improve_v the_o knowledge_n of_o mankind_n i_o hence_o infer_v 1._o that_o to_o forbid_v people_n to_o read_v and_o meditate_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v no_o gospel_n doctrine_n unless_o not_o to_o read_v the_o bible_n be_v a_o better_a way_n to_o improve_v knowledge_n than_o to_o read_v it_o 2._o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a presumption_n also_o against_o transubstantiation_n that_o it_o be_v no_o gospel_n doctrine_n because_o it_o overthrow_v the_o very_a fundamental_a principle_n of_o knowledge_n as_o i_o show_v at_o large_a and_o wonder_v he_o have_v not_o one_o word_n to_o say_v for_o transubstantiation_n 3._o the_o authority_n of_o a_o infallible_a judge_n who_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o every_o thing_n without_o examine_v the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o affirm_v nay_o though_o he_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o appear_v to_o we_o most_o express_o contrary_a to_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o scripture_n be_v no_o gospel-doctrine_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o make_v man_n wise_a an●_n understanding_n christian_n for_o to_o suspend_v the_o exercise_n of_o reason_n and_o judgement_n be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o improve_v man_n knowledge_n and_o here_o i_o distinguish_v between_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n and_o a_o infallible_a judge_n the_o first_o teach_v infallible_o but_o yet_o he_o that_o learn_v must_v use_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n unless_o a_o man_n can_v learn_v without_o it_o but_o the_o second_o usurp_v the_o office_n of_o every_o man_n be_v private_a reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o will_v needs_o judge_v for_o all_o mankind_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o universal_a soul_n a_o universal_a reason_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v to_o unsoul_v all_o mankind_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o though_o there_o have_v be_v infallible_a teacher_n as_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n yet_o none_o ever_o pretend_v to_o be_v infallible_a judge_n but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n there_o never_o can_v be_v a_o infallible_a judge_n to_o who_o i_o must_v submit_v my_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n without_o examination_n because_o i_o can_v know_v that_o he_o teach_v infallible_o unless_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o he_o teach_v nothing_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o any_o natural_a or_o reveal_v law_n and_o that_o i_o can_v know_v unless_o i_o may_v judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o revelation_n for_o he_o be_v not_o infallible_a if_o he_o contradict_v any_o natural_a or_o reveal_v law_n i_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o in_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o in_o christ_n himself_n for_o when_o christ_n appear_v there_o be_v a_o write_a law_n and_o all_o the_o miracle_n he_o wrought_v can_v not_o have_v prove_v he_o a_o true_a prophet_n have_v he_o contradict_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o he_o appeal_v to_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n to_o bear_v testimony_n to_o his_o person_n and_o doctrine_n and_o then_o miracle_n give_v authority_n to_o any_o new_a revelation_n he_o make_v of_o god_n will_n when_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v not_o contradict_v the_o old._n the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o god_n can_v contradict_v himself_o and_o therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o new_a prophet_n even_o of_o christ_n himself_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v and_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v to_o this_o day_n by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o be_v certain_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n yet_o man_n be_v to_o judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n before_o they_o believe_v and_o he_o do_v not_o require_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o their_o reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n without_o examination_n this_o our_o jesuit_n make_v a_o horrible_a outcry_n about_o which_o have_v make_v i_o transcribe_v the_o whole_a of_o this_o argument_n he_o will_v hardly_o allow_v either_o the_o author_n or_o the_o licenser_n to_o be_v christian_n and_o reserve_v this_o for_o the_o conclude_a blow_n to_o end_v his_o pamphlet_n with_o 87._o what_o jesus_n our_o god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o even_o when_o own_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o from_o we_o christian_n can_v exact_v a_o submission_n to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n without_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o principle_n of_o humane_a reason_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o his_o answer_n the_o rest_n be_v rave_v and_o senseless_a harangue_n but_o the_o fallacy_n of_o all_o this_o lie_v in_o a_o few_o word_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o even_o when_o own_v the_o son_n of_o son_n even_o by_o we_o christian_n for_o those_o who_o own_v he_o the_o son_n of_o god_n no_o doubt_n will_v submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n and_o therefore_o all_o profess_a christian_n must_v do_v so_o but_o that_o which_o i_o say_v be_v this_o that_o no_o man_n can_v nor_o to_o this_o day_n can_v own_v he_o upon_o wise_a consideration_n to_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n till_o he_o be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o neither_o contradict_v the_o plain_a light_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o l●w_n of_o moses_n and_o therefore_o thus_o far_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v his_o doctrine_n but_o when_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o contradict_v no_o former_a revelation_n and_o confirm_v his_o authority_n by_o miracle_n than_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v any_o new_a revelation_n he_o make_v upon_o his_o own_o authority_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o own_o name_n and_o the_o name_n of_o the_o licenser_n i_o here_o profess_v that_o when_o by_o examine_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n i_o find_v he_o have_v contradict_v neither_o and_o by_o the_o great_a miracle_n he_o wrought_v i_o be_o satisfy_v he_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n than_o i_o own_v he_o for_o such_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n or_o judge_v if_o he_o please_v that_o i_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o his_o doctrine_n except_v the_o case_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o believe_v it_o and_o submit_v to_o he_o and_o in_o these_o case_n i_o submit_v to_o his_o infallible_a authority_n without_o examination_n i_o receive_v all_o his_o dictate_v as_o divine_a oracle_n i_o do_v not_o wonder_v the_o jesuit_n be_v so_o much_o disturb_v at_o this_o for_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n himself_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v such_o a_o infallible_a judge_n as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v the_o pope_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v they_o must_v for_o shame_n give_v up_o this_o kind_n of_o infallibility_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o confute_v this_o principle_n thorough_o that_o he_o may_v understand_v my_o mind_n plain_o i_o will_v reduce_v all_o to_o some_o few_o proposition_n which_o he_o may_v try_v his_o skill_n upon_o when_o he_o please_v 1._o that_o no_o prophet_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o contradiction_n to_o such_o plain_a and_o evident_a principle_n of_o nature_n as_o all_o mankind_n agree_v in_o 2._o that_o the_o first_o prophet_n who_o appear_v in_o the_o world_n before_o any_o reveal_v law_n and_o confirm_v his_o authority_n by_o plain_a and_o evident_a miracle_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o every_o thing_n he_o say_v while_o he_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o plain_a and_o evident_a principle_n of_o natural_a knowledge_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n moses_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o every_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o prophet_n who_o make_v a_o public_a revelation_n of_o god_n will_n to_o the_o world._n 3._o that_o succeed_a prophet_n who_o confirm_v their_o authority_n with_o miracle_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o all_o new_a revelation_n they_o make_v which_o neither_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n nor_o any_o former_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v absolute_o to_o be_v believe_v when_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o neither_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n 4._o when_o the_o revelation_n be_v complete_a and_o perfect_a and_o have_v no_o new_a addition_n to_o be_v make_v to_o it_o as_o the_o gospel-revelation_n be_v how_o infallible_a soever_o any_o teacher_n may_v be_v we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o nothing_o which_o either_o contradict_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o stand_a revelation_n or_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o revelation_n and_o this_o show_v we_o how_o far_o we_o be_v to_o submit_v our_o own_o reason_n and_o judgement_n
to_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n that_o be_v when_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o his_o infallibility_n we_o must_v then_o believe_v he_o upon_o his_o own_o word_n but_o not_o till_o then_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n judge_v of_o all_o prophet_n till_o we_o can_v prove_v they_o true_a prophet_n and_o then_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o without_o judge_v the_o miracle_n
