although_o he_o full_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o heal_v his_o servant_n yet_o he_o little_a thought_n or_o at_o least_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a that_o christ_n will_v promise_v

the_o promise_n of_o christ_n come_n be_v more_o than_o the_o centurion_n desire_v or_o more_o than_o he_o think_v himself_o worthy_a of_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o perceive_v christ_n purpose_n

of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n shall_v be_v better_o than_o those_o who_o enjoy_v the_o mean_n be_v extraordinary_a for_o ordinary_o it_o be_v otherwise_o answ_n 2_o second_o we_o be_v tie_v unto_o the_o mean_n but_o god_n be_v not_o we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o miracle_n but_o use_v the_o mean_n yea_o if_o we_o neglect_v those_o mean_n we_o can_v expect_v no_o blessing_n or_o favour_n from_o

as_o of_o nature_n consider_v man_n only_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o not_o according_a to_o this_o first_o creation_n again_o physic_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o blood_n

his_o blood_n per_fw-la concomitantiam_fw-la five_o the_o metaphysic_n teach_v we_o that_o every_o positive_a thing_n be_v good_a therefore_o they_o define_v original_a sin_n to_o be_v a_o mere_a

4_o no_o answ_n because_o this_o be_v to_o go_v about_o to_o confute_v god_n from_o his_o own_o rule_n but_o preacher_n teach_v that_o reason_n and_o humane_a wisdom_n be_v opposite_a unto_o god_n &_o

reason_n reach_v thus_o we_o doubt_v of_o the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o we_o be_v altogether_o unable_a to_o conceive_v full_o or_o comprehend_v god_n and_o thing_n which_o be_v infinite_a because_o we_o be_v blind_a object_n 2_o but_o reason_n itself_o seem_v in_o some_o thing_n to_o be_v opposite_a answ_n 1_o first_o reason_n be_v either_o humane_a when_o we_o reduce_v or_o bring_v back_o god_n unto_o a_o humane_a order_n not_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v eternal_a infinite_a and_o the_o great_a creator_n of_o all_o the_o world_n this_o indeed_o be_v opposite_a unto_o god_n divine_a when_o we_o know_v how_o to_o distinguish_v between_o god_n and_o man_n both_o in_o his_o power_n and_o equity_n answ_n 2_o second_o particular_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o opposition_n viz._n possibilitatis_fw-la aequitatis_fw-la first_o possibilitatis_fw-la whether_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v possible_a unto_o god_n or_o not_o to_o this_o christ_n answer_v unto_o god_n nothing_o be_v

place_n in_o god_n ii_o to_o be_v contrary_a unto_o himself_o for_o this_o argue_v mutability_n and_o variation_n but_o in_o these_o we_o must_v not_o say_v god_n can_v but_o god_n will_v not_o the_o thing_n be_v the_o same_o but_o the_o phrase_n be_v more_o remote_a from_o blasphemy_n in_o this_o first_o opposition_n of_o possibility_n there_o be_v two_o quaeres_fw-la namely_o first_o an_z sit_z whether_o any_o thing_n be_v impossible_a unto_o god_n here_o with_o christ_n above_o we_o must_v answer_v negative_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a unto_o god_n second_o quomodo_n sit_v how_o such_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v here_o often_o reason_n be_v foolish_a and_o not_o able_a to_o give_v a_o answer_n and_o that_o sometime_o in_o humane_a thing_n sometime_o in_o divine_a i._o in_o humane_a thing_n reason_n often_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n as_o why_o a_o amulet_n hang_v about_o the_o neck_n shall_v preserve_v from_o poison_n or_o enchantment_n or_o bewitch_v why_o a_o
