of_o the_o gospel-duty_n they_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o spend_v their_o time_n in_o nothing_o else_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v but_o to_o tell_v and_o to_o hear_v

against_o we_o inasmuch_o as_o that_o sprightly_a sense_n and_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n be_v to_o quit_v our_o reason_n to_o be_v serious_o religious_a be_v to_o be_v sink_v deep_a in_o melancholy_n or_o prejudice_v by_o education_n or_o weaken_a with_o age_n it_o be_v some_o way_n or_o other_o they_o tell_v we_o by_o impair_n or_o prepossess_v the_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o we_o declaim_v so_o much_o against_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o our_o disquisition_n of_o religion_n it_o will_v be_v a_o most_o vain_a attempt_n to_o argue_v against_o the_o true_a use_n of_o reason_n in_o any_o thing_n but_o more_o especial_o absurd_a will_v it_o prove_v to_o banish_v it_o from_o the_o

than_o reason_n which_o i_o know_v proceed_v from_o god_n it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n reason_n though_o not_o to_o i_o and_o because_o his_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n and_o providence_n do_v

only_o to_o set_v the_o owner_n of_o they_o so_o much_o the_o far_o out_o of_o their_o way_n from_o serious_a knowledge_n and_o divine_a truth_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o these_o thing_n do_v
