acknowledge_v that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v reach_v the_o the_o height_n of_o the_o mystery_n which_o it_o teach_v and_o that_o the_o humane_a understanding_n be_v too_o narrow_a and_o limit_v to_o discover_v the_o ground_n of_o they_o in_o the_o eternal_a spring_n of_o truth_n where_o they_o will_v appear_v to_o we_o as_o clear_v as_o first_o and_o self_n evident_a principle_n if_o our_o sight_n can_v reach_v so_o far_o nevertheless_o it_o pretend_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v they_o absolute_o without_o proof_n and_o by_o a_o blind_a instinct_n and_o god_n have_v not_o give_v man_n reason_n and_o understanding_n to_o render_v so_o great_a a_o present_a not_o only_o useless_a but_o also_o hurtful_a to_o he_o by_o propound_v unto_o he_o such_o object_n of_o faith_n only_o against_o which_o his_o reason_v faculty_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o continual_a mutiny_n and_o contradictory_n opposition_n that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o those_o sect_n which_o be_v found_v only_o upon_o

reason_n as_o that_o be_v by_o which_o they_o be_v first_o hatch_v whereas_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v such_o that_o how_o impenetrable_a soever_o be_v the_o depth_n of_o its_o mystery_n yet_o none_o can_v doubt_v of_o their_o truth_n but_o by_o such_o another_o kind_n of_o extravagancy_n 2._o for_o the_o business_n be_v not_o to_o examine_v the_o possibility_n of_o those_o mystery_n nor_o to_o cure_v the_o wit_n of_o man_n as_o touch_v all_o the_o difficulty_n which_o it_o find_v to_o submit_v unto_o they_o man_n will_v be_v unreasonable_a to_o desire_v to_o comprehend_v they_o since_o they_o can_v comprehend_v themselves_o and_o yet_o doubt_v not_o of_o their_o own_o existence_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o it_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v to_o they_o that_o all_o those_o so_o unconceivable_a truth_n be_v link_v not_o only_o with_o other_o truth_n which_o they_o know_v but_o also_o with_o such_o truth_n as_o of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o proportionat_a to_o their_o understanding_n and_o whereof_o they_o may_v be_v assure_v by_o the_o most_o evident_a and_o certain_a mean_n 3._o if_o man_n have_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o any_o thing_n it_o be_v of_o

occasion_n of_o dispute_n and_o so_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v clear_o show_v they_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v inseparable_o link_v with_o matter_n of_o fact_n whereof_o the_o truth_n can_v be_v question_v by_o man_n of_o common_a honesty_n and_o integrity_n they_o must_v either_o submit_v unto_o the_o belief_n of_o all_o its_o doctrine_n or_o else_o they_o must_v renounce_v sincerity_n and_o reason_n 4._o for_o instance_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o moses_n and_o if_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n common_o attribute_v unto_o he_o than_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v true_a if_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v true_a than_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n and_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n than_o all_o that_o he_o say_v and_o teach_v be_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o consequent_o the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n and_o all_o the_o other_o mysterious_a doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v to_o be_v

on_o that_o account_n and_o since_o the_o great_a body_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v compose_v of_o a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o different_a part_n which_o all_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o
