a_o lawful_a syllogism_n whereby_o they_o prove_v that_o their_o reason_n have_v ever_o the_o good_a luck_n the_o singular_a privilege_n to_o fall_v right_a on_o the_o true_a sense_n whilst_o right_a

another_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n reason_n refute_v be_v the_o hard_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n where_o to_o have_v they_o in_o their_o answer_n that_o reason_n here_o import_v not_o any_o

for_o as_o they_o be_v here_o all_z stand_v firm_a alike_o and_o equal_o sure_a upon_o this_o verity_n if_o therefore_o i_o answer_v revelation_n all_o faith_n stand_v firm_a upon_o divine_a revelation_n with_o my_o faith_n to_o what_o this_o motive_n firm_o require_v and_o as_o undoubted_o believe_v as_o god_n speak_v i_o must_v assent_v to_o all_o with_o equal_a assurance_n nor_o can_v

mortal_a for_o as_o the_o mortality_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n make_v so_o far_o forth_o this_o proposition_n true_a that_o if_o one_o be_v by_o nature_n immortal_a it_o be_v falso_n so_o the_o truth_n of_o every_o particular_a article_n in_o scripture_n verify_v so_o far_o the_o other_o proposition_n salvation_n to_o believe_v scripture_n in_o a_o general_a way_n that_o imply_v the_o

protestant_n say_v to_o believe_v scripture_n to_o be_v the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n at_o least_o in_o a_o general_n way_n which_o imply_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n therefore_o they_o must_v also_o say_v to_o believe_v every_o particular_a article_n contain_v in_o scripture_n as_o be_v true_o god_n word_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n indispensable_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n because_o this_o general_a belief_n carry_v as_o well_o in_o reason_n the_o reason_n it_o a_o own_v of_o every_o particular_a truth_n in_o scripture_n as_o the_o general_n assertion_n of_o all_o mortal_a ascrib_n mortality_n to_o every_o particular_a man_n the_o reason_n be_v clear_a for_o as_o scripture_n be_v not_o make_v up_o of_o generality_n but_o essential_o verity_n scripture_n cansist'_v of_o particular_a verity_n be_v constitute_v of_o the_o particular_a verity_n contain_v therein_o so_o if_o my_o faith_n true_o

every_o particular_a verity_n in_o scripture_n have_v the_o same_o relation_n to_o man_n eternal_a happiness_n as_o the_o general_a belief_n of_o own_v scripture_n for_o god_n word_n have_v not_o

this_o truth_n further_o and_o ask_v whether_o the_o denial_n or_o disbelief_n of_o the_o least_o truth_n haeretick_n the_o disbelief_n of_o the_o least_o matter_n in_o scripture_n make_v one_o a_o

to_o be_v true_a which_o he_o know_v god_n say_v be_v true_a he_o pertinacious_o oppose_v himself_o to_o a_o infinite_a veracity_n ergo_fw-la the_o true_a act_n of_o faith_n contrary_n salvation_n that_o which_o make_v one_o a_o faithful_a believer_n have_v reference_n to_o salvation_n to_o this_o infidelity_n of_o necessity_n make_v he_o a_o faithful_a believer_n but_o that_o which_o
