A33780	An answer to the query of a deist concerning the necessity of faith.	J. C.	1687 (1687)	Wing C51; ESTC R24111	10,642	14

that_o salvation_n as_o it_o import_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o fruition_n of_o god_n be_v not_o due_a to_o man_n nor_o attainable_a by_o he_o otherwise_o than_o by_o a_o faith_n in_o one_o mediator_n christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o therefore_o there_o actual_o be_v such_o a_o mediator_n and_o such_o a_o faith_n i_o shall_v now_o make_v a_o distinct_a answer_n to_o diverse_a particular_a objection_n implicit_o include_v in_o your_o general_a query_n and_o first_o it_o be_v object_v god_n have_v endue_v man_n with_o reason_n on_o account_n of_o which_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o rational_a creature_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v contradictory_n to_o his_o very_a nature_n to_o give_v a_o assent_n or_o belief_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o proposition_n such_o as_o be_v every_o article_n of_o faith_n transcendent_a to_o his_o reason_n for_o this_o will_v be_v for_o man_n to_o divest_v himself_o of_o his_o nature_n it_o be_v answer_v if_o by_o the_o word_n reason_n be_v mean_v that_o rational_a power_n or_o faculty_n in_o the_o soul_n term_v the_o understanding_n by_o which_o man_n comprehend_v the_o truth_n or_o falsity_n of_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v indeed_o contradictory_n to_o man_n nature_n to_o give_v a_o assent_n without_o such_o a_o faculty_n to_o any_o proposition_n for_o this_o will_v be_v to_o understand_v without_o a_o understanding_n but_o if_o by_o the_o word_n reason_n be_v mean_v a_o rational_a evidence_n cause_n or_o motive_n of_o credibility_n why_o a_o man_n give_v a_o assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o proposition_n it_o be_v not_o contradictory_n but_o most_o agreeable_a and_o consonant_a to_o man_n nature_n to_o give_v a_o assent_n upon_o such_o rational_a motive_n to_o any_o proposition_n second_o it_o be_v object_v when_o god_n create_v man_n he_o give_v he_o a_o faculty_n of_o reason_n whereby_o to_o arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o creator_n by_o the_o footstep_n of_o nature_n and_o imprint_v in_o his_o soul_n a_o law_n of_o morality_n whereby_o to_o distinguish_v good_a from_o evil._n now_o it_o seem_v preposterous_a and_o destructive_a to_o the_o establish_a order_n and_o frame_v of_o nature_n that_o god_n shall_v institute_v a_o new_a law_n and_o require_v from_o man_n a_o belief_n of_o it_o and_o submission_n to_o it_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o nevertheless_o transcend_v the_o ability_n of_o human_a reason_n trace_v the_o footstep_n of_o nature_n to_o comprehend_v it_o be_v answer_v man_n may_v arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o truth_n by_o two_o way_n the_o one_o be_v by_o a_o intrinsic_a demonstration_n from_o natural_a cause_n to_o their_o effect_n and_o this_o knowledge_n be_v term_v natural_a science_n the_o other_o be_v by_o a_o extrinsic_a manifestation_n or_o revelation_n of_o a_o proponent_n or_o attestant_fw-la and_o herein_o the_o assurance_n of_o such_o a_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n be_v proportion_v to_o the_o credit_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o proponent_n and_o in_o short_a if_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o manifest_v and_o reveal_v a_o truth_n the_o knowledge_n and_o assurance_n of_o such_o a_o truth_n be_v superior_a to_o all_o human_a or_o natural_a science_n this_o knowledge_n be_v what_o we_o term_v faith_n nor_o be_v this_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o his_o law_n arrive_v to_o man_n by_o revelation_n any_o wise_a preposterous_a or_o destructive_a to_o the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o he_o and_o his_o law_n draw_v from_o the_o footstep_n and_o impression_n of_o nature_n but_o rather_o a_o supply_n to_o the_o deficiency_n of_o such_o natural_a knowledge_n for_o god_n be_v immense_a and_o his_o way_n inscrutable_a and_o none_o can_v by_o inference_n and_o consequence_n draw_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n comprehend_v the_o total_a either_o of_o what_o god_n be_v or_o what_o he_o may_v require_v of_o we_o indeed_o see_v the_o bounty_n and_o benefit_n confer_v by_o god_n on_o his_o creature_n be_v the_o mere_a effect_n of_o his_o own_o freewill_n the_o very_a freedom_n and_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n in_o confer_v or_o not_o confer_v these_o bounty_n and_o benefit_n imply_v a_o impossibility_n of_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o before_z or_o otherwise_o then_o as_o he_o free_o please_v to_o reveal_v and_o manifest_v they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o height_n of_o blasphemy_n to_o say_v god_n within_o the_o verge_n of_o nature_n have_v do_v so_o much_o he_o can_v do_v more_o so_o be_v it_o the_o height_n of_o arrogance_n after_o he_o have_v reveal_v and_o manifest_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o will_n above_o the_o verge_n of_o nature_n to_o affirm_v he_o have_v not_o do_v more_o three_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o rational_a dence_n and_o motive_n of_o credibility_n specify_v in_o the_o five_o position_n though_o they_o afford_v a_o moral_a certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n reveal_v by_o christ_n yet_o not_o amount_v to_o a_o scientifical_a demonstration_n they_o seem_v disproportionable_a and_o insufficient_a to_o cause_n or_o produce_v that_o assurance_n of_o assent_n challenge_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v answer_v the_o specify_v motive_n of_o credibility_n be_v only_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n productive_a of_o faith_n as_o tool_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o artificer_n but_o the_o effecient_a

innocent_a and_o inculpable_a from_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n a_o happiness_n which_o neither_o by_o the_o right_n of_o nature_n be_v due_a to_o he_o nor_o which_o by_o any_o merit_n of_o his_o

his_o guilt_n have_v some_o just_a propriety_n and_o right_n and_o which_o right_o he_o just_o forfeit_v by_o his_o guilt_n now_o a_o exclusion_n of_o man_n from_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n be_v
