give_v i_o your_o heart_n for_o unless_o you_o give_v i_o your_o heart_n i_o will_v never_o believe_v you_o speak_v as_o you_o mean_v and_o thus_o my_o soul_n thou_o see_v how_o deep_o thou_o have_v engage_v thyself_o by_o say_v i_o believe_v and_o yet_o thy_o engagement_n not_o so_o great_a but_o thy_o undertake_n be_v great_a for_o to_o believe_v be_v no_o such_o easy_a matter_n as_o the_o world_n account_v it_o it_o be_v indeed_o more_o than_o of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o undertake_v to_o do_v that_o to_o god_n which_o without_o god_n assistance_n we_o can_v do_v as_o though_o we_o have_v god_n assistance_n at_o command_n no_o my_o soul_n but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o help_v ourselves_o with_o say_v i_o believe_v o_o god_n help_v my_o unbelief_n but_o why_o be_o i_o so_o forward_o to_o believe_v and_o do_v not_o rather_o make_v a_o stand_n and_o doubt_v see_v doubt_n be_v common_o safe_a where_o credulity_n run_v headlong_o into_o danger_n be_v it_o not_o that_o believe_v be_v acceptable_a and_o have_v reward_n for_o abraham_n believe_v and_o it_o be_v

then_o not-beleeving_a and_o these_o be_v reason_n that_o make_v i_o so_o forward_o to_o believe_v but_o what_o reason_n can_v i_o have_v to_o make_v i_o believe_v when_o i_o must_v not_o believe_v reason_n no_o doubt_n in_o matter_n of_o the_o world_n the_o rule_n be_v good_a to_o believe_v no_o more_o than_o we_o see_v good_a reason_n for_o and_o thereupon_o be_v the_o counsel_n give_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d becarefull_a to_o be_v mistrustful_a but_o in_o matter_n divine_a and_o belong_v to_o god_n he_o that_o believe_v no_o more_o than_o reason_n warrant_v may_v just_o be_v say_v not_o to_o believe_v at_o all_o see_v belief_n be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n and_o faith_n proper_o begin_v not_o her_o work_n but_o when_o the_o reason_n have_v give_v over_o work_v there_o seem_v to_o be_v many_o inducement_n of_o belief_n but_o special_o two_o first_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o sense_n for_o who_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o which_o he_o see_v with_o his_o eye_n but_o this_o belief_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n for_o faith_n be_v a_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v believe_v though_o we_o do_v not_o see_v then_o the_o testimony_n of_o reason_n for_o who_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o for_o which_o he_o see_v apparent_a reason_n but_o neither_o will_v this_o belief_n serve_v the_o turn_n for_o faith_n be_v above_o reason_n and_o nisi_fw-la credideritis_fw-la non_fw-la intelligetis_fw-la unless_o you_o believe_v you_o shall_v not_o understand_v and_o so_o belief_n must_v not_o always_o stay_v for_o understanding_n but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o still_o i_o believe_v o_o god_n help_v my_o unbelief_n belief_n indeed_o be_v two_o fold_n humane_a and_o divine_a humane_a belief_n be_v always_o ground_v upon_o sense_n or_o reason_n but_o divine_a belief_n have_v other_o ground_n to_o stand_v upon_o either_o the_o ground_n of_o abraham_n qui_fw-la in_o spe_fw-la contra_fw-la spem_fw-la credidit_fw-la who_o contrary_a to_o hope_v believe_v in_o hope_n or_o the_o ground_n of_o those_o who_o christ_n call_v bless_v blessed_n be_v they_o that_o have_v not_o see_v and_o yet_o have_v believe_v for_o we_o must_v not_o always_o look_v for_o the_o favour_n of_o saint_n thomas_n to_o be_v allow_v to_o put_v our_o hand_n into_o christ_n side_n before_o we_o believe_v but_o we_o must_v sometime_o come_v with_o faith_n without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o eternal_a evidence_n and_o then_o indeed_o be_v belief_n most_o kind_o when_o it_o stand_v not_o upon_o the_o prop_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n which_o may_v be_v preparative_n to_o belief_n but_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o give_v the_o confirmation_n and_o as_o there_o be_v certain_a inducement_n of_o belief_n so_o there_o be_v certain_a property_n in_o belief_n it_o must_v be_v steadfast_a without_o waver_v assure_v without_o doubt_v confident_a without_o presume_v but_o above_o all_o it_o must_v be_v right_o apply_v for_o without_o right_a application_n belief_n be_v no_o better_a than_o infidelity_n and_o then_o only_o be_v belief_n right_o apply_v when_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o god_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n for_o now_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o take_v my_o aim_n right_a and_o apply_v my_o belief_n to_o the_o right_a object_n if_o i_o shall_v apply_v it_o to_o any_o but_o god_n it_o must_v be_v to_o some_o creature_n and_o see_v every_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o high_a power_n what_o hope_n can_v i_o have_v to_o believe_v in_o such_o a_o one_o who_o must_v himself_o believe_v in_o another_o but_o when_o i_o apply_v my_o belief_n to_o god_n not_o only_o i_o may_v just_o hope_v but_o i_o may_v secure_o be_v assure_v see_v god_n be_v a_o power_n supreme_a and_o have_v no_o equal_a to_o contest_v with_o he_o much_o less_o any_o superior_a to_o control_v he_o if_o i_o shall_v believe_v in_o man_n i_o may_v fear_v that_o which_o david_n say_v that_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n but_o when_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n i_o be_o out_o of_o that_o fear_n see_v god_n be_v the_o truth_n itself_o and_o can_v lie_v if_o i_o shall_v believe_v in_o angel_n i_o know_v the_o angel_n do_v once_o fall_v and_o what_o they_o do_v once_o they_o may_v do_v again_o if_o they_o be_v not_o uphold_v by_o a_o strong_a power_n and_o can_v it_o be_v safe_a believe_v in_o they_o who_o stand_v by_o the_o power_n of_o another_o and_o not_o by_o their_o own_o but_o when_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n my_o belief_n be_v build_v upon_o a_o sure_a foundation_n see_v heaven_n be_v god_n throne_n and_o the_o earth_n his_o footstool_n that_o he_o be_v neither_o capable_a of_o rise_v nor_o subject_n to_o fall_v david_n will_v not_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o man_n pronounce_v he_o accurse_v that_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o why_o shall_v i_o moses_n will_v not_o trust_v a_o angel_n to_o be_v his_o guide_n though_o god_n himself_o offer_v he_o one_o and_o why_o shall_v i_o no_o my_o soul_n but_o adhaerere_fw-la deo_fw-la bonum_fw-la est_fw-la it_o be_v good_a stick_v to_o god_n and_o no_o assurance_n indeed_o of_o any_o good_a but_o only_o in_o stick_v to_o he_o and_o depend_v whole_o upon_o he_o and_o as_o there_o be_v certain_a property_n of_o belief_n to_o make_v it_o be_v right_a so_o there_o be_v certain_a degree_n of_o belief_n to_o make_v
