the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n than_o to_o own_o and_o countenance_v such_o work_n of_o iniquity_n quest_n how_o will_v you_o prove_v convince_o there_o be_v a_o god_n answ_n first_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o the_o visible_a creation_n to_o give_v itself_o a_o be_v i_o mean_v there_o be_v no_o thing_n which_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n can_v behold_v which_o can_v possible_o give_v itself_o a_o be_v muchless_n can_v it_o give_v a_o be_v to_o any_o thing_n less_o as_o for_o example_n where_o can_v any_o man_n find_v a_o creature_n in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n endue_v with_o reason_n and_o understanding_n and_o so_o accomplish_v with_o skill_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v such_o excellent_a work_n as_o he_o himself_o can_v do_v and_o yet_o can_v he_o not_o make_v himself_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o first_o of_o mankind_n must_v have_v their_o be_v from_o god_n muchless_n can_v man_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o heaven_n and_o have_v set_v they_o at_o such_o a_o wonderful_a distance_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o have_v stretch_v they_o round_o about_o it_o and_o so_o bespangle_v it_o with_o star_n and_o have_v give_v a_o be_v to_o the_o sun_n &_o moon_n and_o have_v command_v they_o to_o keep_v their_o course_n to_o all_o generation_n neither_o can_v he_o have_v make_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o have_v stock_v they_o with_o such_o variety_n of_o creature_n and_o bind_v they_o in_o a_o round_a lump_n together_o and_o command_v this_o bulkie_a massy_a piece_n to_o stand_v firm_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o heaven_n these_o and_o suchlike_a work_n be_v too_o wonderful_a for_o any_o but_o only_o for_o himself_o who_o be_v in_o mercy_n power_n wisdom_n foreknowledge_n and_o all_o eternal_a excellency_n matchless_a and_o infinite_a quest_n but_o may_v it_o not_o be_v object_v by_o a_o atheist_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v by_o nature_n

necessity_n this_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o nature_n must_v be_v accomplish_v with_o such_o a_o almighty_a power_n unsearchable_a wisdom_n and_o wonderful_a love_n to_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o especial_o to_o mankind_n together_o with_o all_o those_o most_o glorious_a perfection_n which_o we_o common_o ascribe_v to_o god_n for_o most_o evident_a it_o be_v that_o he_o that_o wrought_v out_o the_o be_v and_o wellbeing_a of_o all_o thing_n be_v most_o rich_o furnish_v with_o the_o very_o high_a perfection_n of_o all_o excellency_n and_o goodness_n and_o this_o be_v no_o less_o than_o to_o confess_v the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n quest_n have_v you_o any_o other_o proof_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n answ_n the_o work_n of_o providence_n do_v further_a evidence_n the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n
