not_o but_o that_o i_o admit_v that_o the_o four_o command_v as_o to_o the_o precise_a seven_o day_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o be_v determine_v since_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n mr._n hobbes_n after_o he_o have_v deny_v the_o personal_a divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n now_o come_v to_o tell_v we_o p._n 286._o that_o our_o saviour_n nor_o his_o apostle_n have_v any_o power_n to_o make_v

not_o of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o he_o design_v not_o to_o take_v away_o the_o roman_n jurisdiction_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o external_a act_n and_o punishment_n of_o

have_v they_o be_v only_a direction_n or_o beseeching_n he_o and_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v style_v they_o so_o nay_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v p._n 308._o that_o the_o command_n be_v the_o stile_n of_o a_o law_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a our_o saviour_n have_v power_n to_o make_v law_n which_o he_o execute_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n

for_o sin_n as_o he_o say_v against_o nature_n or_o the_o law_n of_o their_o country_n mr._n hobbes_n cite_v so_o much_o of_o the_o text_n and_o no_o more_o than_o he_o think_v to_o his_o purpose_n

this_o question_n i_o leave_v to_o better_a judgement_n to_o decide_v mr._n hobbes_n p._n 323._o say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o scripture_n from_o whence_o may_v be_v infer_v the_o

whence_o may_v be_v infer_v the_o infallibility_n of_o the_o church_n see_v then_o how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o believe_v mr._n hobbes_n yet_o from_o this_o position_n he_o infer_v in_o the_o

so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v he_o say_v that_o if_o we_o believe_v not_o the_o scripture_n the_o affront_n be_v do_v to_o the_o church_n or_o a_o prophet_n and_o not_o to_o god_n as_o the_o not_o believe_v the_o story_n of_o livy_n concern_v the_o god_n the_o affront_n be_v do_v to_o livy_n and_o not_o to_o the_o god_n this_o be_v to_o undermine_v the_o scripture_n before_o he_o come_v to_o blow_v they_o up_o but_o let_v mr._n hobbes_n look_v the_o 5_o the_o of_o ephes._n and_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o church_n have_v hand_v down_o the_o scripture_n to_o we_o so_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o the_o union_n so_o firm_a there_o express_v between_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n that_o he_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o any_o affront_n do_v to_o the_o scripture_n must_v necessary_o be_v do_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o god_n and_o i_o do_v affirm_v against_o all_o the_o conceit_a irreligionist_n in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o scripture_n will_v have_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o salvation_n although_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v not_o appoint_v any_o church_n to_o have_v hand_v they_o down_o to_o we_o not_o that_o i_o say_v every_o cavil_v atheist_n will_v have_v assent_v to_o they_o but_o then_o as_o mr._n hobbes_n plentiful_o urge_v in_o his_o book_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v something_o more_o hereafter_o but_o at_o present_a say_v that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_o satisfactory_a to_o any_o rational_a christian_a that_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o they_o teach_v we_o our_o misery_n by_o sin_n to_o which_o our_o mortality_n be_v so_o subject_a our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n and_o appoint_v we_o a_o pious_a and_o virtuous_a way_n of_o live_v here_o and_o the_o way_n to_o a_o happy_a immortality_n hereafter_o beside_o what_o rational_a man_n can_v suppose_v that_o the_o good_a and_o wise_a god_n will_v leave_v mankind_n without_o a_o guide_n to_o a_o bless_a immortality_n and_o what_o guide_n be_v there_o like_o this_o so_o that_o any_o man_n that_o be_v not_o frantic_a or_o resolve_v to_o quarrel_n with_o every_o thing_n other_o people_n assent_v to_o but_o must_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o consequent_o the_o disbelief_n of_o they_o be_v a_o affront_n do_v to_o god_n if_o we_o deny_v they_o and_o not_o to_o man_n only_o and_o i_o think_v good_a king_n josiah_n and_o all_o judah_n with_o he_o believe_v the_o law_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o think_v the_o contrary_n will_v be_v a_o affront_n to_o god_n upon_o less_o or_o at_o least_o upon_o less_o invite_a ground_n 2_o king_n 21._o than_o we_o ought_v now_o to_o believe_v the_o volume_n of_o the_o bible_n to_o be_v so_o but_o if_o we_o believe_v not_o the_o fable_n of_o livy_n concern_v the_o god_n the_o affront_n be_v only_o do_v to_o livy_n and_o not_o to_o his_o god_n for_o they_o be_v no_o god_n at_o all_o and_o so_o mr._n hobbes_n example_n be_v at_o best_a but_o a_o fallacy_n which_o he_o be_v very_o frequent_a in_o and_o i_o have_v so_o much_o
