their_o unbelief_n here_o i._o we_o be_v first_o to_o inquire_v what_o their_o unbelief_n be_v or_o wherein_o it_o do_v consist_v the_o answer_n must_v be_v there_o be_v four_o principal_a point_n or_o argument_n of_o their_o infidelity_n first_o they_o misinterpret_v the_o power_n by_o which_o he_o wrought_v instead_o of_o ascribe_v it_o to_o god_n they_o interpret_v it_o to_o be_v of_o satan_n they_o rather_o choose_v to_o proclaim_v themselves_o fool_n by_o assert_v a_o contradiction_n hold_v that_o satan_n do_v cast_v out_o satan_n than_o submit_v to_o ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o honour_n due_a unto_o his_o name_n second_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v for_o notwithstanding_o all_o they_o hear_v and_o see_v they_o continue_v impenitent_a and_o unreformed_a three_o their_o unbelief_n be_v so_o great_a as_o to_o reject_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n they_o have_v rather_o abide_v by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n than_o embrace_v the_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n four_o their_o unbelief_n be_v that_o notwithstanding_o so_o clear_a light_n and_o manifestation_n they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o deity_n of_o christ_n their_o eye_n be_v so_o intent_n upon_o the_o veil_n of_o his_o flesh_n that_o they_o can_v not_o pierce_v through_o it_o and_o contemplate_v his_o godhead_n some_o have_v such_o opinion_n

and_o the_o father_n be_v one._n now_o before_o i_o pursue_v the_o intend_a design_n of_o this_o book_n i_o shall_v brief_o declare_v some_o reason_n which_o make_v it_o possible_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o continue_v in_o unbelief_n notwithstanding_o such_o plenty_n of_o mean_n as_o they_o have_v 1._o the_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n turn_v they_o away_o from_o the_o faith_n they_o be_v

that_o we_o may_v conclude_v where_o there_o be_v much_o of_o the_o one_o there_o be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o other_o 2._o their_o exorbitant_a love_n of_o the_o world_n make_v it_o hard_o to_o
