point_n be_v chief_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o this_o preface_n &_o will_v serve_v to_o clear_v the_o mist_n which_o humane_a reason_n cast_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v not_o discern_v truth_n from_o falsehood_n but_o may_v embrace_v a_o cloud_n for_o juno_n &_o leave_v the_o substance_n for_o a_o shadow_n tho'_o some_o sense_n may_v yet_o all_o can_v never_o be_v contrary_a to_o faith_n this_o be_v my_o first_o conclusion_n the_o reason_n be_v faith_n must_v be_v conveygh_v into_o our_o mind_n by_o some_o sense_n wherefore_o that_o sense_n at_o least_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o faith_n which_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o providence_n teach_v we_o by_o hear_v preacher_n mission_n etc._n etc._n of_o which_o s._n paul_n rom._n 10._o now_o if_o god_n do_v at_o any_o time_n by_o particular_a inspiration_n instruct_v some_o that_o be_v nothing_o against_o this_o truth_n see_v those_o thoughe_n so_o inspire_v be_v conformable_a to_o what_o other_o hear_v &_o by_o consequence_n not_o contrary_a to_o all_o sense_n 2._o my_o second_o conclusion_n be_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n hearing_n be_v prefer_v before_o all_o other_o sense_n the_o 1._o reason_n be_v because_o hear_v be_v more_o capable_a of_o conveygh_v reveal_v truth_n than_o any_o other_o sense_n nay_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n together_o it_o have_v more_o significant_a sign_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n together_o as_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o multitude_n of_o significant_a word_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n do_v actual_o use_v hear_v &_o no_o other_o sense_n to_o communicate_v to_o we_o his_o faith_n for_o our_o whole_a duty_n to_o god_n &_o our_o neighbour_n what_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v &_o practice_n be_v all_o deliver_v either_o by_o live_a word_n in_o catechism_n &_o sermon_n or_o in_o book_n by_o dead_a representation_n of_o those_o live_a word_n wherefore_o when_o sense_n interfere_v in_o their_o deposition_n concern_v any_o object_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v recurre_v to_o hear_v &_o adhere_v to_o that_o for_o example_n other_o sense_n represent_v christ_n to_o we_o as_o a_o ordinary_a man_n hear_v say_v he_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n full_a of_o grace_n &_o truth_n we_o must_v believe_v this_o &_o silence_v the_o rest_n the_o rest_n say_v water_n only_o wash_v from_o dirt_n the_o surface_n of_o the_o body_n this_o say_v it_o purge_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o stain_n of_o sin_n we_o must_v believe_v this_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o this_o rule_n acknowledge_v by_o the_o zwinglians_n in_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a hold_v in_o the_o bless_a eucharist_n so_o that_o althô_o the_o taste_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v bread_n &_o wine_n we_o may_v subscribe_v to_o our_o hear_v with_o s._n cyril_n nay_o with_o the_o whole_a church_n &_o say_v it_o be_v the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o what_o if_o reason_n take_v the_o part_n of_o the_o other_o sense_n answer_v i_o will_v say_v still_o we_o must_v stick_v however_o to_o hear_v for_o example_n reason_n say_v the_o same_o substance_n can_v be_v one_o &_o three_o hear_v say_v the_o same_o divine_a substance_n be_v one_o in_o nature_n &_o three_o in_o person_n our_o duty_n be_v to_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v so_o &_o to_o silence_v all_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a this_o be_v what_o s._n paul_n understand_v by_o pull_v down_o
