church_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o in_o the_o least_o unconceivable_a or_o mysterious_a viz._n that_o the_o godhead_n as_o st._n paul_n speak_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o as_o st._n john_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d tabernacle_v and_o dwell_v in_o the_o lord_n christ_n not_o as_o in_o prophet_n occasional_o and_o in_o measure_n but_o as_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n viz._n always_o enlighten_v and_o actuate_a he_o and_o exert_v by_o he_o and_o in_o he_o the_o divine_a attribute_n omnipotence_n and_o omniscience_n so_o that_o it_o be_v true_o say_v god_n be_v make_v man_n and_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v god_n yet_o not_o as_o eutyches_n exceed_v in_o the_o case_n so_o that_o god_n be_v change_v into_o man_n and_o the_o humanity_n be_v deify_v which_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v blasphemous_a be_v also_o contradictory_n but_o so_o that_o the_o term_n use_v be_v to_o be_v interpret_v by_o the_o doctrine_n not_o the_o doctrine_n by_o the_o term_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v essential_o omni-present_a but_o dwell_v in_o the_o lord_n christ_n as_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n that_o be_v always_o enlighten_v and_o actuate_a he_o by_o a_o eternal_a indissoluble_a union_n exert_v also_o in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o the_o proper_a character_n of_o the_o divinity_n omniscience_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o future_a and_o of_o the_o thought_n etc._n etc._n and_o omnipotence_n that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o miracle_n and_o of_o creation_n as_o be_v see_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o multiply_v loaf_n and_o fish_n therefore_o we_o right_o affirm_v a_o communication_n of_o idiom_n as_o to_o the_o term_n namely_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o such_o a_o incarnation_n god_n become_v man_n and_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v true_a god_n i_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o two_o explication_n that_o be_v incomprehensible_a or_o mysterious_a there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o f._n socinus_n or_o that_o very_o learned_a person_n j._n crellius_n shall_v cry_v jargon_n and_o mystery_n and_o as_o little_a that_o catholic_n writer_n shall_v defend_v these_o doctrine_n under_o the_o name_n of_o great_a difficulty_n mysterious_a and_o inconceivable_a article_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o that_o can_v puzzle_v either_o a_o learned_a or_o a_o discern_a man_n nothing_o that_o shock_n our_o reason_n or_o to_o which_o any_o system_fw-la of_o philosophy_n yet_o know_v make_v any_o opposition_n if_o what_o be_v intend_v in_o the_o term_n of_o these_o article_n be_v make_v intelligible_a nay_o obvious_a and_o if_o the_o explication_n imply_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o philosophy_n or_o reason_n that_o be_v to_o experimental_a or_o to_o natural_a knowledge_n i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v teach_v why_o these_o article_n must_v be_v call_v mystery_n a_o name_n that_o offend_v so_o many_o and_o in_o which_o other_o so_o much_o delight_n both_o in_o my_o poor_a judgement_n without_o cause_n to_o his_o answer_n unto_o the_o last_o objection_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v this_o to_o what_o purpose_n can_v such_o a_o revelation_n serve_v or_o of_o what_o use_n can_v such_o a_o faith_n be_v which_o be_v concern_v thing_n that_o we_o can_v understand_v or_o can_v comprehend_v i_o do_v not_o think_v any_o sect_n of_o religious_a ever_o make_v this_o objection_n for_o how_o can_v it_o escape_v they_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o article_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o altogether_o inconceivable_a or_o unintelligible_a and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n or_o in_o art_n that_o be_v altogether_o conceivable_a and_o intelligible_a but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o the_o preacher_n say_v upon_o it_o he_o say_v 1._o we_o may_v use_v the_o world_n as_o full_o and_o every_o thing_n in_o it_o to_o as_o good_a purpose_n as_o if_o we_o understand_v the_o reason_n and_o internal_a nature_n of_o thing_n no_o trisler_n not_o so_o full_o nor_o to_o so_o good_a purpose_n as_o if_o we_o better_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n nay_o we_o can_v make_v no_o use_n at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o only_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o we_o understand_v the_o nature_n and_o reason_n of_o thing_n in_o it_o we_o can_v use_v nothing_o to_o any_o purpose_n till_o we_o know_v or_o understand_v something_o of_o its_o nature_n and_o no_o far_o can_v we_o apply_v it_o and_o use_v it_o than_o we_o understand_v its_o nature_n and_o know_v its_o property_n and_o power_n the_o matter_n be_v so_o plain_a i_o will_v dwell_v no_o long_o upon_o it_o he_o say_v last_o the_o lapse_v state_n of_o nature_n make_v supernatural_a knowledge_n necessary_a when_o man_n have_v sin_v he_o forfeit_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o his_o natural_a immortality_n and_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n can_v not_o teach_v he_o how_o to_o make_v atonement_n for_o sin_n or_o give_v any_o hope_n that_o god_n will_v bestow_v immortal_a life_n true_o but_o not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o the_o purpose_n it_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o that_o objection_n but_o to_o another_o namely_o to_o this_o why_o revelation_n or_o a_o supernatural_a knowledge_n be_v necessary_a or_o however_o high_o requisite_a the_o objection_n be_v concern_v a_o revelation_n and_o faith_n not_o intelligible_a or_o not_o conceivable_a the_o answer_n be_v only_o concern_v revelation_n or_o supernatural_a knowledge_n in_o general_a why_o it_o be_v give_v to_o man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o supernatural_o reveal_v and_o unconceivable_a the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n the_o precept_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n of_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a revelation_n and_o yet_o a_o system_fw-la so_o intelligible_a that_o it_o must_v be_v teach_v to_o the_o woman_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o even_o to_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o make_v the_o matter_n of_o supernatural_a revelation_n for_o its_o difficulty_n mysteriousness_n or_o transcendency_n of_o the_o humane_a understanding_n but_o to_o ascertain_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o to_o enforce_v its_o authority_n in_o the_o world_n i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o sermon_n and_o shall_v hope_v that_o such_o apologist_n for_o the_o article_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o first_o corrupt_v those_o article_n by_o a_o heretical_a sense_n put_v on_o they_o and_o then_o betray_v they_o by_o a_o defence_n partly_o false_a and_o partly_o weak_a will_v no_o more_o be_v encourage_v to_o print_v as_o well_o as_o preach_v their_o error_n and_o folly_n i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o usual_a civility_n of_o the_o court_n especial_o to_o such_o divine_n as_o be_v dignify_v doctor_n and_o dean_n to_o desire_v they_o to_o print_v their_o sermon_n i_o know_v too_o that_o some_o hear_v this_o sermon_n and_o move_v the_o print_n of_o it_o who_o understand_v well_o the_o heretical_a aim_n of_o the_o preacher_n and_o expect_v it_o will_v be_v answer_v by_o some_o or_o other_o that_o understand_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n and_o how_o to_o defend_v it_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v better_a that_o treacherous_a defence_n and_o false_a representation_n of_o the_o

from_o a_o expectation_n of_o some_o good_a antidote_n that_o may_v be_v find_v against_o it_o i_o mean_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v sell_v and_o cry_v about_o by_o direction_n of_o a_o honourable_a court_n only_o in_o compliment_n to_o the_o mere_a station_n or_o post_n in_o which_o mr._n preacher_n happen_v to_o be_v as_o for_o he_o we_o know_v beforehand_o what_o his_o defence_n will_v be_v the_o same_o that_o he_o always_o make_v on_o this_o occasion_n as_o he_o have_v answer_v to_o the_o oxford-head_n to_o dr._n s_o the_o and_o to_o the_o author_n of_o a_o judgement_n of_o the_o
