it_o sufficient_a that_o a_o man_n believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v without_o a_o explicit_a knowledge_n of_o any_o thing_n they_o believe_v but_o the_o general_a opinion_n be_v that_o a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o explicit_a belief_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n but_o as_o for_o every_o thing_n else_o it_o suffice_v if_o he_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v without_o know_v what_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a man_n shall_v so_o much_o as_o know_v what_o the_o new_a article_n of_o the_o trent_n faith_n be_v if_o they_o believe_v the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o resign_v up_o their_o faith_n implicit_o to_o the_o church_n now_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a confession_n that_o all_o the_o doctrine_n in_o dispute_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v of_o no_o use_n much_o less_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o if_o they_o be_v they_o will_v be_v as_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o explicit_o believe_v as_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o i_o can_v imagine_v why_o we_o heretic_n who_o believe_v the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o understand_v it_o as_o orthodox_o as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v save_v without_o believe_v the_o new_a trent_n creed_n for_o if_o we_o need_v not_o know_v what_o it_o be_v there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o need_n of_o believe_v it_o for_o i_o always_o think_v that_o no_o man_n can_v and_o therefore_o to_o be_v sure_o no_o man_n need_v believe_v what_o he_o do_v not_o know_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v we_o know_v and_o believe_v all_o thing_n the_o explicit_a knowledge_n and_o belief_n of_o which_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n except_o that_o one_o single_a point_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n believe_v but_o that_o and_o you_o need_v believe_v or_o know_v nothing_o more_o but_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o yet_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o a_o good_a catholic_n which_o make_v a_o implicit_a faith_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o necessary_a as_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o if_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o improve_v our_o knowledge_n than_o christ_n never_o teach_v a_o implicit_a faith_n for_o that_o do_v not_o improve_v knowledge_n and_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n except_v the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o be_v the_o common_a faith_n of_o all_o christian_n need_v not_o be_v know_v than_o they_o be_v no_o gospel-doctrine_n much_o less_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n for_o christ_n teach_v nothing_o but_o what_o he_o will_v have_v know_v and_o though_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o christ_n teach_v be_v not_o equal_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n yet_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o perfect_a our_o knowledge_n and_o christ_n teach_v nothing_o which_o a_o man_n need_v not_o know_v which_o i_o think_v be_v a_o reproach_n to_o mean_a master_n and_o much_o more_o to_o the_o eternal_a and_o incarnate_a wisdom_n second_o the_o improvement_n and_o perfection_n of_o humane_a nature_n consist_v in_o true_a holiness_n and_o virtue_n in_o a_o likeness_n and_o conformity_n to_o god_n and_o a_o participation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o advance_v we_o to_o as_o perfect_a holiness_n as_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o life_n christ_n indeed_o have_v make_v expiation_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o own_o blood_n but_o then_o this_o very_a blood_n of_o atonement_n do_v not_o only_o expiate_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o purge_v the_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v the_o live_a god_n for_o no_o sacrifice_n not_o of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o can_v reconcile_v a_o impenitent_a and_o unreformed_a sinner_n to_o god_n that_o be_v can_v move_v god_n to_o love_v a_o sinner_n who_o still_o love_v and_o continue_v in_o his_o sin_n which_o a_o infinite_o holy_a and_o pure_a being_n can_v do_v indeed_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n be_v but_o one_o part_n of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n for_o a_o sinner_n can_v be_v save_v that_o be_v can_v be_v advance_v to_o immortal_a life_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n without_o be_v bear_v again_o without_o be_v renew_v and_o sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n after_o the_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o god._n for_o this_o new_a nature_n be_v the_o only_a principle_n of_o a_o new_a immortal_a life_n in_o we_o a_o earthly_a sensual_a mind_n be_v no_o more_o capable_a of_o live_v in_o heaven_n than_o a_o earthly_a mortal_a body_n in_o both_o sense_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v corruption_n inherit_v incorruption_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n indeed_o have_v take_v great_a care_n about_o the_o first_o of_o these_o and_o have_v find_v out_o more_o way_n of_o expiate_a sin_n and_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o it_o than_o the_o gospel_n ever_o teach_v we_o whether_o they_o be_v so_o effectual_a to_o this_o purpose_n let_v those_o look_v to_o it_o who_o trust_v in_o they_o but_o there_o be_v not_o that_o care_n take_v to_o inculcate_v the_o necessity_n of_o internal_a holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o mind_n and_o one_o will_v easy_o guess_v there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a need_n of_o it_o in_o that_o church_n which_o have_v so_o many_o easy_a way_n of_o expiate_a sin_n the_o true_a character_n of_o gospel-doctrine_n be_v a_o doctrine_n according_a to_o godliness_n the_o principal_a design_n of_o which_o be_v to_o promote_v true_a goodness_n all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n tend_v to_o this_o end_n to_o lay_v great_a and_o irresistible_a obligation_n on_o we_o to_o abstain_v from_o every_o sin_n and_o to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a as_o we_o have_v ability_n and_o opportunity_n to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o all_o doctrine_n which_o secret_o undermine_v a_o good_a life_n and_o make_v it_o unnecessary_a for_o man_n to_o be_v true_o and_o sincere_o virtuous_a can_v be_v no_o gospel-doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v such_o doctrine_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v abundant_o prove_v by_o the_o late_a learned_a and_o reverend_a bishop_n tailor_n in_o his_o dissuasive_a from_o popery_n which_o be_v so_o very_o useful_a a_o book_n that_o i_o have_v rather_o

church_n of_o rome_n natural_o tend_v to_o evacuate_v the_o force_n of_o the_o gospel_n itself_o to_o make_v man_n good_a and_o holy_a every_o one_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o that_o can_v be_v no_o gospel-faith_n and_o worship_n which_o set_v aside_o the_o gospel_n itself_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n either_o consist_v of_o the_o rule_n of_o holiness_n or_o of_o the_o motive_n and_o instrument_n of_o it_o for_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v all_o of_o they_o so_o many_o motive_n to_o a_o good_a life_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v how_o the_o faith_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v make_v void_a the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n as_o the_o pharisee_n make_v void_a the_o law_n of_o moses_n by_o their_o tradition_n 1._o let_v we_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o gospel-rule_n of_o holiness_n it_o will_v be_v a_o endless_a thing_n here_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o loose_a determination_n of_o their_o fame_a and_o
