this_o be_v my_o first_o conclusion_n the_o reason_n be_v faith_n must_v be_v conveygh_v into_o our_o mind_n by_o some_o sense_n wherefore_o that_o sense_n at_o least_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o

&_o by_o consequence_n not_o contrary_a to_o all_o sense_n 2._o my_o second_o conclusion_n be_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n hearing_n be_v prefer_v before_o all_o other_o sense_n the_o 1._o reason_n be_v because_o hear_v be_v more_o capable_a of_o conveygh_v reveal_v truth_n than_o any_o other_o sense_n nay_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n together_o it_o have_v more_o significant_a sign_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n together_o as_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o multitude_n of_o significant_a word_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n do_v actual_o use_v hear_v &_o no_o other_o sense_n to_o communicate_v to_o we_o his_o faith_n for_o our_o whole_a duty_n to_o god_n &_o our_o neighbour_n what_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v &_o practice_n be_v all_o deliver_v either_o by_o live_a word_n in_o catechism_n &_o sermon_n or_o in_o book_n by_o dead_a representation_n of_o those_o live_a word_n wherefore_o when_o sense_n interfere_v in_o their_o deposition_n concern_v any_o object_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v recurre_v to_o hear_v &_o adhere_v to_o that_o for_o example_n other_o sense_n represent_v christ_n to_o we_o as_o a_o ordinary_a man_n hear_v say_v he_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v
