unless_o we_o see_v it_o or_o have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o it_o by_o some_o of_o our_o outward_a sense_n so_o we_o can_v love_v god_n our_o creator_n unless_o we_o have_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o though_o the_o high_a and_o most_o excellent_a degree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v to_o know_v he_o in_o a_o nearor_n and_o more_o immediate_a way_n than_o by_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o creature_n yet_o god_n have_v set_v his_o creature_n and_o the_o glorious_a fabric_n of_o the_o visible_a creation_n before_o we_o as_o a_o book_n in_o a_o large_a volume_n

great_a power_n wisdom_n goodness_n purity_n mercy_n and_o justice_n but_o as_o no_o man_n can_v read_v a_o book_n that_o be_v blind_a or_o if_o he_o have_v eye_n without_o light_n so_o none_o can_v true_o and_o right_o read_v and_o understand_v the_o great_a book_n of_o god_n creation_n but_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o understanding_n be_v open_v and_o as_o his_o eye_n when_o open_v be_v

the_o prophet_n and_o by_o christ_n and_o the_o evangelist_n and_o apostle_n as_o the_o design_n of_o the_o follow_a treatise_n be_v to_o show_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v to_o inform_v the_o

this_o small_a treatise_n point_v at_o and_o blame_n but_o the_o gross_a error_n in_o those_o call_v philosopher_n which_o i_o have_v find_v too_o many_o at_o this_o to_o day_n be_v deep_o tincture_v and_o leaven_v with_o and_o these_o not_o only_o some_o that_o profess_v to_o be_v student_n of_o philosophy_n and_o proficient_n in_o the_o same_o but_o many_o other_o person_n either_o whole_o or_o

heathen_a philosopher_n who_o do_v long_o ago_o in_o age_n past_a oppugn_v and_o gainsay_v the_o true_a christian_a faith_n and_o doctrine_n in_o many_o thing_n and_o the_o error_n of_o the_o jesuit_n philosophy_n and_o of_o some_o other_o schoolman_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n stiff_o maintain_v by_o they_o to_o defend_v the_o false_a antichristian_a doctrine_n that_o that_o papal_a society_n be_v guilty_a of_o they_o have_v reply_v to_o i_o they_o know_v neither_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o old_a heathen_n nor_o of_o the_o late_a schoolman_n and_o jesuit_n be_v simple_a unlettered_a man_n but_o to_o this_o i_o have_v answer_v they_o that_o though_o they_o know_v not_o that_o such_o error_n hold_v by_o they_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o old_a heathen_n and_o of_o the_o late_a schoolman_n such_o as_o jesuit_n and_o other_o yet_o they_o be_v these_o very_a error_n for_o even_o as_o in_o another_o case_n a_o man_n may_v have_v in_o his_o house_n some_o thing_n that_o he_o may_v not_o know_v to_o who_o they_o do_v proper_o belong_v so_o in_o this_o case_n man_n may_v hold_v erroneous_a opinion_n invent_v by_o other_o long_o ago_o and_o yet_o not_o know_v the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o they_o may_v have_v come_v by_o they_o without_o any_o curious_a search_n study_n or_o enquiry_n into_o the_o write_n or_o book_n of_o the_o first_o author_n or_o inventor_n of_o they_o either_o by_o have_v they_o occasional_o mention_v to_o they_o or_o find_v they_o by_o some_o accident_n in_o some_o one_o or_o other_o late_a writer_n that_o write_v in_o their_o mother_n tongue_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n while_o it_o be_v more_o sway_v with_o darkness_n than_o light_n and_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n than_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n beside_o the_o many_o disadvantage_n it_o have_v by_o wrong_a education_n and_o

by_o a_o divine_a illumination_n work_v upon_o their_o rational_a understanding_n as_o man_n for_o though_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v supernatural_a in_o all_o these_o art_n and_o science_n common_o teach_v in_o school_n or_o which_o surpass_v the_o common_a capacity_n of_o man_n reason_n to_o understand_v they_o yet_o the_o invention_n or_o first_o discovery_n of_o they_o may_v have_v have_v a_o more_o immediate_o divine_a original_n as_o when_o christ_n open_v the_o natural_a eye_n of_o the_o blind_a to_o see_v their_o see_v be_v natural_a after_o their_o eye_n be_v open_v but_o the_o open_n of_o they_o be_v supernatural_a and_o miraculous_a it_o be_v therefore_o the_o gross_a and_o hurtful_a error_n that_o do_v abound_v in_o the_o gentile_a philosophy_n that_o make_v paul_n give_v such_o caution_n against_o it_o and_o the_o same_o error_n continue_v among_o many_o call_v christian_n at_o this_o day_n that_o spoil_v they_o by_o hurt_v yea_o destroy_v the_o faith_n of_o some_o and_o hinder_v the_o faith_n of_o other_o which_o be_v among_o the_o gentile_n in_o that_o day_n i_o have_v find_v a_o zeal_n raise_v in_o my_o heart_n and_o a_o weighty_a concern_v upon_o i_o to_o point_v at_o divers_a gross_a error_n hold_v profess_v and_o teach_v in_o this_o day_n by_o some_o call_a christian_n as_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o true_a philosophy_n most_o of_o which_o be_v the_o very_a error_n of_o the_o old_a heathen_a philosopher_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o follow_v particular_o the_o platonist_n and_o stoic_n teach_v 1._o that_o the_o body_n be_v

such_o it_o will_v become_v again_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a again_o many_o of_o old_a teach_v and_o now_o teach_v 2._o that_o matter_n or_o body_n have_v no_o life_n or_o perception_n sense_n or_o feel_n of_o pleasure_n or_o pain_n even_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o it_o and_o unite_v to_o it_o but_o that_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n be_v the_o alone_a
