how_o any_o man_n of_o common_a sense_n though_o he_o pretend_v not_o to_o infallibility_n can_v fall_v into_o such_o error_n for_o a_o ill_a argument_n when_o its_o fallacy_n be_v so_o apparent_a must_v needs_o heap_v contempt_n on_o he_o that_o use_v it_o have_v find_v our_o saviour_n way_n of_o argue_v to_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o this_o new_a method_n these_o gentleman_n will_v impose_v on_o we_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n draw_v their_o proof_n for_o matter_n in_o controversy_n from_o scripture_n the_o two_o great_a point_n they_o have_v most_o occasion_n to_o argue_v upon_o be_v jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n and_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o gentile_n from_o any_o obligation_n to_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o they_o proceed_v in_o both_o these_o for_o the_o first_o in_o the_o first_o sermon_n after_o the_o effusion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n s._n peter_n prove_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n from_o these_o word_n of_o david_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n nor_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n now_o he_o show_v that_o these_o word_n can_v not_o be_v mean_v of_o david_n who_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v therefore_o be_v a_o prophet_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ._n if_o here_o be_v not_o consequence_n and_o deduction_n let_v every_o one_o judge_n now_o these_o be_v speak_v to_o those_o who_o do_v not_o then_o believe_v in_o christ_n there_o be_v either_o sufficient_a force_n in_o that_o argument_n to_o convince_v the_o jew_n otherwise_o these_o that_o speak_v they_o be_v very_o much_o both_o to_o be_v blame_v and_o despise_v for_o offer_v to_o prove_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o importance_n by_o a_o consequence_n but_o this_o be_v a_o degree_n of_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v there_o be_v strength_n in_o their_o argument_n and_o therefore_o article_n of_o faith_n whereof_o this_o be_v the_o fundamental_a may_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n by_o a_o consequence_n we_o may_v add_v to_o this_o all_o the_o other_o prophecy_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n from_o which_o we_o find_v the_o apostle_n argue_v to_o prove_v this_o foundation_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o every_o one_o may_v see_v do_v not_o contain_v in_o so_o many_o word_n that_o which_o be_v prove_v by_o they_o but_o these_o be_v so_o obvious_a we_o choose_v only_o to_o name_v this_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v of_o a_o like_a nature_n with_o it_o the_o next_o controversy_n debate_v in_o that_o time_n be_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o mosaichal_n law_n the_o apostle_n by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v a_o formal_a decision_n in_o this_o matter_n yet_o there_o be_v great_a opposition_n make_v to_o that_o st._n paul_n set_v himself_o to_o prove_v it_o at_o full_a length_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o beside_o other_o argument_n he_o bring_v these_o two_o from_o the_o old_a testament_n one_o be_v that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n before_o the_o give_v the_o law_n for_o which_o he_o cite_v these_o word_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n from_o which_o by_o a_o very_a just_a consequence_n he_o infer_v that_o as_o abraham_n be_v bless_v so_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v bless_v with_o he_o and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o be_v 430_o year_n after_o can_v not_o disannul_v it_o or_o make_v the_o promise_n of_o none_o effect_n therefore_o we_o may_v now_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v another_o place_n he_o cite_v be_v the_o justice_n shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o he_o subsume_v the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n from_o which_o the_o conclusion_n natural_o follow_v therefore_o the_o just_a life_n not_o by_o the_o law_n he_o must_v be_v very_o blind_a that_o see_v not_o a_o succession_n of_o many_o consequence_n in_o that_o epistle_n of_o st._n paul_n all_o which_o have_v be_v utter_o impertinent_a if_o this_o new_a method_n have_v any_o ground_n for_o its_o pretention_n and_o they_o may_v at_o one_o dash_v have_v overthrow_v all_o that_o he_o have_v say_v but_o man_n have_v not_o then_o arrive_v at_o such_o device_n as_o must_v at_o once_o overturn_v all_o the_o sense_n and_o reason_n of_o mankind_n we_o hope_v what_o we_o premise_v will_v be_v remember_v to_o show_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v infallible_o direct_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o at_o all_o prove_v that_o though_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v may_v have_v pass_v with_o they_o yet_o it_o must_v not_o be_v allow_v we_o for_o their_o be_v infallible_o direct_v prove_v their_o argument_n and_o way_n of_o proceed_v be_v rational_a and_o convince_a otherwise_o they_o have_v not_o pitch_v on_o it_o and_o the_o person_n to_o who_o these_o argument_n be_v offer_v not_o acquiesce_v in_o their_o authority_n their_o reason_n must_v have_v be_v good_a otherwise_o they_o have_v expose_v themselves_o and_o their_o cause_n to_o the_o just_a scorn_n of_o their_o enemy_n have_v therefore_o evince_v that_o both_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v prove_v by_o consequence_n draw_v from_o scripture_n the_o great_a and_o most_o important_a article_n of_o faith_n we_o judge_v that_o we_o may_v with_o very_o great_a assurance_n follow_v their_o example_n but_o this_o whole_a matter_n will_v receive_v a_o further_a confirmation_n if_o we_o find_v it_o be_v the_o method_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n to_o found_v her_o decision_n of_o the_o most_o important_a controversy_n on_o consequence_n from_o scripture_n there_o be_v very_o few_o heretic_n that_o have_v face_n and_o brow_n enough_o to_o set_v up_o against_o express_a word_n of_o scripture_n for_o such_o as_o do_v so_o reject_v these_o book_n that_o be_v so_o direct_o opposite_a to_o their_o error_n as_o the_o manichee_n do_v the_o gospel_n of_o st._n matthew_n but_o if_o we_o examine_v the_o method_n either_o of_o council_n in_o condemn_a heretic_n or_o of_o the_o father_n writing_n against_o they_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v they_o proceed_v upon_o deduction_n and_o consequence_n from_o scripture_n as_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o go_v upon_o let_v the_o epistle_n both_o of_o the_o council_n of_o antioch_n to_o samosatenus_fw-la and_o denis_n of_o alexandria_n letter_n to_o he_o be_v consider_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v how_o they_o draw_v their_o definition_n out_o of_o

when_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a come_v to_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n if_o we_o give_v credit_n to_o gelasius_n they_o canvas_v many_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o a_o decision_n and_o that_o whole_a dispute_n as_o he_o represent_v it_o be_v all_o about_o inference_n and_o deduction_n from_o scripture_n it_o be_v true_a f._n maimbourg_n in_o his_o
