since_o if_o we_o follow_v our_o hear_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n by_o which_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v it_o christ_n word_n express_o signify_v and_o declare_v that_o the_o

we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v this_o mystery_n and_o consequent_o do_v not_o renounce_v all_o five_o at_o once_o and_o thus_o whilst_o we_o let_v both_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v immediate_o direct_v by_o god_n word_n which_o be_v infallible_a we_o more_o reverence_n the_o scripture_n and_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o protestant_n who_o let_v natural_a object_n ever_o about_o mystery_n of_o their_o faith_n have_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v so_o often_o deceive_v rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v they_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o frame_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o nature_n or_o substance_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o information_n of_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o

to_o frame_v a_o true_a judgement_n of_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o such_o a_o object_n not_o according_a to_o a_o natural_a be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o what_o it_o may_v have_v of_o supernatural_a the_o sense_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v here_o too_o the_o information_n these_o give_v not_o now_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o divine_a revelation_n for_o though_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v connect_v with_o and_o best_a know_v by_o its_o natural_a quality_n yet_o a_o supernatural_a be_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v better_a know_v from_o what_o the_o sense_n tell_v we_o from_o god_n word_n and_o divine_a

account_n my_o sense_n give_v i_o of_o such_o man_n authority_n and_o knowledge_n rather_o
than_o from_o my_o own_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n before_o i_o consist_v in_o something_o above_o my_o skill_n certain_o when_o the_o question_n be_v what_o be_v the_o substance_n

not_o from_o what_o my_o sense_n tell_v i_o of_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o what_o they_o tell_v i_o of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o divine_a assurance_n because_o as_o dr._n sherlock_n
