be_v for_o in_o matter_n of_o common_a testimony_n we_o make_v little_a difference_n between_o speech_n and_o write_v if_o a_o man_n who_o we_o dare_v trust_n send_v we_o a_o letter_n and_o therein_o

of_o the_o thing_n will_v admit_v we_o shall_v be_v that_o we_o read_v the_o word_n of_o a_o apostle_n write_v but_o we_o be_v sure_a enough_o of_o this_o we_o have_v as_o good_a moral_a certainty_n of_o it_o as_o we_o can_v have_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o other_o than_o a_o moral_a certainty_n and_o if_o the_o word_n that_o we_o read_v in_o the_o new_a

have_v more_o than_o the_o testimony_n of_o one_o single_a apostle_n only_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n and_o many_o witness_n be_v more_o credible_a than_o one_o and_o beside_o there_o be_v several_a witness_n their_o testimony_n if_o it_o be_v false_a may_v be_v more_o easy_o prove_v so_o by_o their_o disagreement_n with_o one_o another_o than_o the_o testimony_n of_o one_o single_a witness_n can_v be_v and_o last_o a_o write_n which_o we_o may_v review_v and_o read_v over_o as_o often_o as_o we_o will_v and_o which_o we_o may_v take_v what_o time_n we_o please_v to_o consider_v of_o may_v be_v more_o thorough_o understand_v and_o better_o digest_v than_o a_o sermon_n or_o discourse_n only_o once_o speak_v can_v well_o be_v but_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o first_o convert_v to_o christianity_n which_o come_v by_o hear_v of_o the_o apostle_n may_v be_v build_v upon_o more_o certain_a and_o infallible_a ground_n than_o we_o that_o come_v only_o by_o read_v be_v and_o some_o reason_n may_v perhaps_o be_v give_v hereafter_o why_o it_o be_v fit_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o it_o be_v enough_o however_o to_o render_v our_o infidelity_n inexcusable_a if_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n that_o we_o now_o have_v be_v very_o rational_a if_o they_o be_v a_o sufficient_a support_n for_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o please_v god_n and_o to_o overcome_v the_o world_n and_o this_o may_v be_v far_o say_v for_o our_o comfort_n and_o to_o make_v we_o easy_a and_o satisfy_v with_o those_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v
