there_o be_v nothing_o either_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o notification_n of_o the_o divine_a will_n concern_v any_o time_n set_v for_o its_o expiration_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o a_o new_a dispensation_n after_o the_o evangelical_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o evangelical_n after_o the_o moysaicall_a i_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a in_o itself_o for_o god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o at_o some_o time_n hereafter_o as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o have_v reveal_v himself_o heretofore_o and_o he_o that_o reveal_v himself_o under_o the_o law_n and_o at_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v if_o he_o so_o please_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n reveal_v himself_o at_o any_o time_n or_o time_n but_o he_o that_o will_v assert_v the_o futurity_n of_o this_o must_v have_v more_o to_o prove_v it_o than_o a_o possibility_n it_o be_v certain_a god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o and_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v by_o revelation_n from_o he_o but_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a certainty_n for_o a_o revelation_n after_o the_o gospel_n or_o in_o aftertime_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n itself_o be_v of_o divine_a revelation_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v the_o only_a revelation_n for_o above_o 1600_o year_n past_a and_o that_o we_o have_v have_v no_o other_o revelation_n than_o that_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o pretence_n any_o person_n or_o age_n make_v to_o it_o be_v almarico_n apparent_o mistake_v and_o imposture_n for_o that_o dispensation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o each_o sect_n fancy_v to_o be_v in_o their_o age_n or_o near_o to_o it_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v if_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o be_v but_o to_o give_v some_o further_a light_n and_o force_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v show_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o proof_n of_o any_o other_o revelation_n than_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o now_o record_v and_o preserve_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o further_a revelation_n 3._o that_o the_o scripture_n shut_v up_o all_o revelation_n with_o itself_o so_o that_o no_o other_o revelation_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v beyond_o it_o 1._o there_o be_v no_o proof_n of_o any_o other_o revelation_n than_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n if_o any_o one_o will_v contend_v that_o there_o either_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o revelation_n he_o must_v have_v some_o revelation_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o that_o must_v either_o be_v a_o antecedent_n revelation_n such_o as_o scripture_n be_v take_v to_o be_v or_o it_o must_v be_v some_o personal_a revelation_n make_v to_o himself_o or_o to_o some_o other_o credible_a person_n or_o person_n but_o where_o be_v the_o revelation_n of_o this_o revelation_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n where_o be_v the_o prediction_n of_o such_o a_o state_n that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v superannuated_a and_o another_o of_o great_a perfection_n shall_v grow_v out_o of_o it_o under_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o plain_a signification_n of_o another_o revelation_n to_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o of_o a_o more_o perfect_a state_n of_o thing_n to_o ensue_v but_o where_o be_v the_o proof_n as_o plain_a under_o the_o gospel_n for_o a_o new_a revelation_n as_o there_o be_v for_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n under_o the_o law_n or_o where_o be_v it_o say_v of_o that_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o decay_v or_o be_v antiquate_v and_o wax_v old_a and_o so_o be_v 13._o ready_a to_o or_o shall_v at_o last_o vanish_v away_o our_o apostle_n here_o say_v on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n unto_o you_o than_o that_o which_o we_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v if_o it_o be_v a_o personal_a revelation_n than_o we_o may_v reasonable_o demand_v where_o be_v the_o evidence_n for_o such_o a_o revelation_n all_o revelation_n must_v have_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a revelation_n and_o what_o oblige_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o as_o such_o it_o will_v be_v able_a to_o produce_v its_o evidence_n and_o a_o new_a revelation_n must_v suppose_v a_o better_a sort_n of_o evidence_n than_o the_o former_a or_o at_o least_o equal_a to_o it_o there_o must_v be_v the_o like_a wonderful_a work_n the_o blind_a must_v as_o miraculous_o be_v make_v to_o see_v and_o the_o lame_a to_o walk_v and_o the_o disease_a to_o be_v whole_a and_o the_o dead_a to_o rise_v nay_o christ_n himself_o must_v again_o descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o die_v and_o rise_v and_o ascend_v or_o else_o the_o miracle_n will_v fall_v short_a of_o what_o it_o be_v in_o competition_n with_o nay_o it_o must_v proceed_v far_o and_o its_o evidence_n must_v not_o only_o be_v equal_a but_o superior_a also_o to_o that_o which_o it_o be_v to_o supplant_v it_o be_v not_o only_o fit_a that_o moses_n rod_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n but_o when_o the_o magician_n pretend_v to_o do_v the_o same_o to_o show_v his_o power_n to_o be_v great_a than_o they_o his_o serpentine_a rod_n swallow_v up_o they_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o he_o bring_v forth_o 8._o frog_n when_o janne_n and_o jambres_n produce_v the_o like_a but_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v what_o they_o can_v not_o and_o so_o what_o will_v oblige_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n 19_o and_o thus_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o advance_v a_o new_a scheme_n of_o thing_n do_v not_o only_o show_v he_o be_v the_o person_n describe_v and_o prophesy_v of_o but_o also_o by_o his_o numerous_a miracle_n and_o many_o of_o they_o such_o as_o never_o any_o neither_o moses_n nor_o any_o prophetical_a person_n ever_o do_v work_v 24._o if_o then_o there_o be_v no_o such_o evidence_n for_o such_o a_o new_a revelation_n where_o there_o be_v a_o pretence_n to_o it_o we_o may_v conclude_v it_o to_o be_v another_o gospel_n a_o supposititious_a revelation_n and_o what_o be_v to_o have_v no_o credence_n give_v to_o it_o no_o regard_n pay_v to_o it_o it_o be_v anathema_n 2._o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o further_a revelation_n revelation_n have_v somewhat_o in_o it_o of_o a_o miracle_n it_o be_v a_o way_n extraordinary_a and_o as_o we_o can_v suppose_v god_n will_v work_v miracle_n and_o break_v through_o the_o stand_a law_n of_o nature_n when_o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n for_o it_o nor_o necessity_n to_o require_v it_o so_o we_o can_v suppose_v he_o will_v communicate_v himself_o by_o a_o way_n of_o revelation_n and_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o much_o less_o break_v down_o a_o establish_v order_n of_o his_o own_o appointment_n when_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o it_o as_o for_o the_o institution_n and_o that_o it_o answer_v all_o the_o end_n for_o which_o a_o new_a constitution_n can_v be_v frame_v or_o a_o new_a revelation_n make_v the_o apostle_n argue_v if_o the_o first_o covenant_n have_v 7._o be_v faultless_a there_o shall_v no_o place_n have_v be_v seek_v for_o the_o second_o and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o place_n for_o a_o three_o there_o must_v be_v some_o fault_n or_o imperfection_n chargeable_a upon_o the_o second_o but_o that_o i_o shall_v show_v it_o to_o be_v free_v from_o and_o that_o the_o second_o covenant_n or_o gospel-revelation_n be_v so_o perfect_a that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o another_o for_o 1._o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o noble_a and_o useful_a subject_n for_o a_o revelation_n than_o that_o of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v concern_v god_n reconciliation_n to_o mankind_n and_o their_o redemption_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n and_o where_o this_o be_v plain_o reveal_v there_o be_v no_o place_n for_o a_o second_o nor_o any_o need_n of_o a_o new_a revelation_n 2._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o gospel-revelation_n as_o a_o covenant_n consist_v of_o promise_n and_o condition_n there_o can_v be_v more_o excellent_a and_o beneficial_a than_o those_o nor_o more_o necessary_a than_o these_o for_o what_o can_v be_v propose_v of_o great_a advantage_n unto_o mankind_n than_o what_o the_o gospel_n offer_v to_o those_o that_o believe_v and_o obey_v it_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n the_o blessing_n and_o protection_n of_o his_o providence_n the_o assistance_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o close_a of_o all_o everlasting_a life_n a_o translation_n out_o of_o this_o mortal_a uncomfortable_a and_o uncertain_a state_n to_o a_o state_n of_o unchangeable_a happiness_n where_o body_n and_o soul_n shall_v again_o be_v unite_v when_o this_o corruptible_a shall_v put_v on_o incorruption_n

must_v be_v after_o our_o saviour_n second_o appearance_n but_o of_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v thus_o far_o as_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o argument_n there_o may_v be_v very_o few_o suppose_a to_o be_v concern_v that_o be_v such_o as_o set_v up_o another_o revelation_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o gospel-revelation_n or_o that_o maintain_v the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v only_o temporary_a and_o that_o it_o shall_v have_v its_o season_n in_o which_o it_o be_v to_o expire_v and_o be_v succeed_v by_o another_o and_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v scarce_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o have_v spend_v so_o much_o time_n upon_o it_o with_o respect_n to_o such_o wild_a enthusiast_n as_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o however_o what_o have_v be_v hitherto_o say_v may_v be_v of_o further_a use_n with_o reference_n to_o another_o case_n just_o mention_v before_o and_o that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o personal_a and_o occasional_a revelation_n 10._o which_o may_v be_v conceive_v only_o to_o serve_v to_o a_o more_o spiritual_a manifestation_n of_o the_o revelation_n already_o receive_v and_o so_o be_v no_o more_o derogatory_n to_o that_o revelation_n than_o occasional_a or_o personal_a revelation_n heretofore_o in_o the_o moysaicall_a state_n be_v to_o the_o body_n of_o that_o law_n which_o be_v of_o immediate_a and_o divine_a revelation_n and_o of_o universal_a obligation_n to_o that_o people_n i_o will_v not_o altogether_o deny_v this_o because_o i_o know_v not_o how_o far_o some_o person_n may_v in_o some_o case_n be_v enlighten_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n nor_o what_o particular_a direction_n they_o may_v receive_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n in_o some_o special_a case_n with_o ●espect_n to_o themselves_o to_o other_o and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o may_v be_v like_o a_o special_a providence_n to_o some_o particular_a person_n but_o now_o as_o a_o man_n must_v govern_v himself_o by_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o not_o by_o particular_a and_o because_o he_o have_v sometime_o meet_v with_o deliverance_n and_o supply_n and_o direction_n beyond_o all_o his_o own_o foresight_n and_o reason_n must_v not_o forsake_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o care_n and_o whole_o rely_v upon_o the_o extraordinary_a so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v here_o a_o person_n may_v perhaps_o have_v some_o occasional_a revelation_n some_o divine_a inspiration_n at_o some_o special_a season_n or_o in_o some_o special_a case_n but_o if_o he_o forsake_v the_o ordinary_a to_o depend_v upon_o the_o extraordinary_a and_o expect_v revelation_n in_o every_o case_n because_o he_o have_v have_v it_o in_o some_o particular_n he_o will_v as_o much_o be_v subject_a to_o error_n and_o err_v no_o less_o dangerous_o than_o if_o he_o whole_o rely_v upon_o divine_a providence_n and_o forsake_v all_o other_o mean_n whatsoever_o and_o true_o this_o be_v a_o way_n much_o liable_a to_o be_v abuse_v and_o to_o mislead_v person_n and_o be_v very_o suspicious_a and_o dangerous_a 1._o it_o be_v a_o case_n liable_a to_o imposture_n and_o abuse_n forasmuch_o as_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o influence_n of_o such_o a_o conception_n be_v not_o always_o if_o at_o all_o capable_a of_o make_v a_o certain_a judgement_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v all_o transact_v within_o and_o the_o imagination_n may_v be_v so_o much_o influence_v by_o the_o body_n and_o by_o a_o agitation_n of_o the_o humour_n and_o animal_n spirit_n from_o a_o enthusiastal_n and_o even_o a_o devout_a temper_n by_o prepossession_n and_o foreconceived_a principle_n and_o even_o by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o life_n that_o it_o may_v be_v whole_o natural_a as_o natural_a as_o dream_n or_o the_o delirium_n of_o a_o fever_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o ebullition_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o such_o like_a ordinary_a cause_n 2._o person_n have_v be_v impose_v upon_o and_o take_v the_o effect_n of_o imagination_n for_o inspiration_n and_o divine_a illumination_n i_o be_o far_o from_o condemn_v all_o the_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o of_o a_o design_n to_o deceive_v like_o maria_n visitationis_fw-la in_o portugal_n i_o will_v rather_o think_v more_o charitable_o that_o very_o often_o they_o have_v think_v themselves_o thus_o move_v and_o act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o their_o pretence_n and_o the_o opinion_n other_o have_v have_v of_o they_o it_o have_v be_v afterward_o evident_a that_o it_o have_v be_v far_o from_o

and_o nothing_o to_o encourage_v we_o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o it_o afterward_o we_o read_v nothing_o there_o of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o its_o be_v

we_o read_v there_o spare_o of_o some_o ecstasy_n as_o one_o of_o st._n peter_n and_o one_o or_o two_o of_o st._n paul_n but_o with_o how_o much_o reserve_n and_o modesty_n do_v the_o holy_a apostle_n

be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o unto_o they_o that_o look_v for_o he_o shall_v he_o appear_v the_o second_o time_n without_o a_o sin-offering_n unto_o salvation_n that_o
