A63906	A discourse concerning the Messias, in three chapters the first concerning the preparatories to his appearance in the types and prophesies of the Old Testament : the second demonstrating that it was typically and prophetically necessary that he should be born of a virgin : the third, that he is God as well as man : to which is prefixed a large preface ... : and an appendix is subjoyned concerning the divine extension ... / by John Turner ...

understanding_n at_o any_o one_o time_n to_o comprehend_v together_o in_o this_o action_n likewise_o in_o its_o full_a extent_n the_o father_n be_v consider_v as_o a_o person_n by_o himself_o and_o be_v real_o so_o for_o although_o as_o to_o many_o particular_n there_o may_v be_v and_o actual_o be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n and_o the_o human_a together_o so_o as_o to_o view_v several_a of_o these_o idea_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o with_o a_o common_a prospect_n and_o to_o have_v exact_o the_o same_o notion_n and_o apprehension_n concern_v they_o it_o be_v

yet_o where_o the_o human_a

themselves_o there_o arise_v so_o many_o several_a single_a idea_n or_o picture_n draw_v and_o paint_v upon_o our_o imagination_n by_o affirm_v or_o deny_v they_o one_o of_o another_o we_o frame_v

or_o discourse_n or_o ratiocination_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o our_o sense_n we_o come_v to_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o a_o immaterial_a nature_n that_o be_v of_o a_o object_n which_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v affect_v our_o sense_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o after_o have_v converse_v with_o several_a sensible_a object_n and_o compare_v they_o together_o have_v separate_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v separate_v from_o one_o another_o and_o join_v those_o thing_n and_o notion_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v put_v together_o it_o be_v then_o natural_a for_o we_o to_o begin_v to_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v that_o make_v this_o reflection_n upon_o the_o thing_n without_o we_o that_o dispute_v and_o argue_v pro_fw-la and_o con_v within_o itself_o upon_o the_o object_n that_o come_v within_o its_o observation_n and_o this_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o perceive_v that_o it_o can_v be_v mere_a matter_n which_o be_v a_o dull_a stupid_a and_o insensible_a thing_n without_o any_o life_n activity_n or_o power_n but_o it_o needs_o must_v be_v something_o which_o be_v not_o matter_n of_o who_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v difficult_a for_o we_o to_o have_v so_o clear_a a_o perception_n from_o the_o information_n of_o our_o sense_n which_o can_v immediate_o convey_v any_o thing_n but_o sensible_a and_o material_a thing_n therefore_o we_o express_v it_o by_o a_o negative_a term_n and_o call_v it_o a_o immaterial_a be_v which_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o positive_o what_o it_o be_v but_o only_o negative_o what_o it_o be_v not_o and_o yet_o because_o we_o have_v a_o positive_a notion_n of_o cogitation_n without_o which_o we_o can_v reflect_v upon_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o nor_o have_v any_o the_o least_o sense_n of_o any_o the_o most_o common_a object_n that_o fall_v under_o our_o view_n and_o apprehension_n therefore_o to_o the_o negative_a conception_n of_o immaterial_a we_o add_v the_o positive_a of_o cogitant_fw-la and_o because_o we_o can_v possible_o conceive_v any_o substance_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v not_o somewhere_o and_o by_o consequence_n which_o be_v not_o extend_v therefore_o this_o make_v up_o the_o complete_a idea_n which_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o mind_n or_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v immaterial_a cogitant_fw-la and_o extend_v being_n and_o because_o wisdom_n and_o thought_n wherever_o they_o be_v find_v be_v a_o argument_n in_o other_o substance_n of_o a_o immaterial_a nature_n as_o well_o as_o they_o be_v in_o we_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o admirable_a wisdom_n and_o contrivance_n wherewith_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n without_o we_o be_v manage_v and_o dispose_v this_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o firm_a and_o infallible_a assurance_n that_o there_o be_v one_o great_a and_o universal_a mind_n preside_v over_o all_o thing_n and_o appoint_v to_o all_o the_o several_a part_n of_o which_o either_o the_o inanimate_a or_o the_o

abode_n for_o the_o better_a preservation_n of_o themselves_o and_o for_o the_o great_a harmony_n beauty_n and_o security_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o platonic_a or_o a_o cartesian_a idea_n imprint_v antecedent_o to_o this_o ratiocination_n upon_o our_o mind_n we_o be_v use_v to_o call_v a_o god_n beside_o that_o since_o it_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o evident_a that_o we_o have_v no_o notion_n or_o idea_n in_o our_o mind_n which_o we_o may_v not_o derive_v from_o the_o information_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o if_o over_o and_o above_o we_o will_v needs_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o platonic_a idea_n or_o inbred_a notion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n then_o either_o these_o idea_n do_v agree_v and_o jump_v with_o the_o

can_v do_v without_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o life_n itself_o or_o of_o these_o suppose_a platonical_a idea_n which_o be_v much_o the_o more_o safe_a and_o reasonable_a of_o the_o two_o especial_o if_o
