adam_n be_v capable_a of_o make_v reflection_n upon_o those_o several_a matter_n which_o god_n have_v make_v know_v to_o he_o concern_v his_o creation_n i_o say_v it_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o that_o he_o must_v have_v take_v these_o thing_n into_o consideration_n and_o have_v be_v convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n the_o truth_n of_o a_o relation_n consist_v in_o its_o conformity_n with_o the_o matter_n relate_v it_o appear_v clear_o that_o adam_n can_v certain_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o god_n have_v declare_v to_o he_o by_o examine_v the_o thing_n themselves_o we_o may_v distinguish_v several_a proposition_n in_o the_o revelation_n god_n make_v to_o he_o concern_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o creation_n the_o first_o be_v that_o his_o body_n be_v take_v from_o the_o earth_n the_o next_o that_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o frame_v before_o his_o body_n the_o three_o that_o his_o soul_n have_v be_v join_v to_o his_o body_n to_o constitute_v one_o individual_a person_n the_o four_o that_o he_o be_v create_v in_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a age._n the_o five_o that_o his_o wife_n be_v form_v of_o a_o rib_n take_v out_o of_o his_o side_n during_o the_o time_n that_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o deep_a sleep_n these_o be_v the_o truth_n i_o propose_v as_o instance_n the_o rather_o because_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o of_o which_o adam_n himself_o can_v be_v a_o witness_n and_o yet_o i_o affirm_v there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v assure_v of_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n be_v convince_v of_o they_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n which_o assure_v he_o of_o the_o existence_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o consideration_n therefore_o of_o these_o two_o matter_n be_v of_o good_a use_n to_o confirm_v the_o revelation_n which_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v he_o concern_v his_o creation_n of_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o witness_n himself_o that_o his_o body_n be_v take_v from_o the_o earth_n adam_n may_v easy_o infer_v from_o the_o food_n that_o maintain_v it_o for_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o man_n nourishment_n but_o a_o digest_v and_o disguise_v earth_n and_o find_v himself_o at_o first_o in_o a_o perfect_a estate_n it_o be_v natural_a for_o he_o to_o judge_n that_o his_o body_n have_v be_v thus_o at_o once_o frame_v of_o the_o earth_n without_o pass_v those_o several_a degree_n of_o growth_n whereby_o child_n arrive_v to_o their_o just_a stature_n and_o he_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v assure_v that_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o form_v before_o his_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v a_o be_v conscious_a of_o his_o own_o operation_n and_o thought_n wherefore_o he_o need_v only_o make_v this_o reflection_n my_o soul_n have_v have_v neither_o knowledge_n nor_o thought_n before_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o my_o body_n therefore_o my_o soul_n do_v not_o exist_v before_o it_o no_o great_a study_n be_v require_v to_o make_v so_o natural_a a_o conclusion_n as_o this_o be_v again_o how_o can_v he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o union_n of_o his_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n be_v it_o not_o obvious_a for_o he_o to_o be_v assure_v hereof_o by_o the_o ready_a obedience_n which_o he_o see_v his_o body_n yield_v unto_o his_o soul_n he_o have_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o tree_n as_o well_o as_o the_o idea_n of_o his_o foot_n or_o arm_n whence_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o he_o to_o reflect_v thus_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o i_o command_v my_o foot_n and_o my_o arm_n and_o that_o i_o can_v do_v the_o same_o to_o a_o stone_n or_o tree_n though_o i_o have_v the_o idea_n of_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o other_o must_v not_o this_o proceed_v from_o a_o near_a union_n it_o have_v with_o the_o one_o than_o with_o the_o other_o he_o know_v that_o this_o union_n continue_v during_o his_o sleep_n and_o be_v independent_a of_o his_o will._n in_o a_o word_n he_o have_v the_o same_o proof_n of_o this_o union_n which_o we_o have_v of_o it_o at_o present_a only_o they_o be_v in_o he_o much_o more_o lively_a because_o our_o infancy_n make_v we_o in_o some_o sort_n ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o soul_n our_o soul_n accustom_v themselves_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o depend_v upon_o the_o sense_n so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o raise_v themselves_o without_o some_o trouble_n above_o their_o operation_n neither_o be_v it_o less_o evident_a to_o adam_n that_o he_o be_v produce_v at_o a_o perfect_a age_n he_o see_v that_o his_o food_n maintain_v life_n and_o he_o know_v assure_o that_o he_o have_v not_o take_v any_o but_o very_o late_o how_o then_o can_v he_o attain_v to_o that_o stature_n without_o that_o help_n or_o how_o be_v it_o that_o he_o find_v himself_o now_o ready_a to_o faint_v if_o he_o defer_v to_o take_v it_o which_o former_o he_o have_v not_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o these_o reflection_n make_v it_o unquestionable_a to_o he_o that_o he_o be_v form_v in_o a_o perfect_a age._n and_o last_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n revelation_n concern_v the_o form_n of_o eve_n he_o need_v but_o to_o count_v his_o own_o rib_n and_o those_o of_o his_o wife_n for_o he_o can_v not_o find_v one_o less_o in_o himself_o than_o in_o his_o wife_n without_o be_v full_o satisfy_v in_o that_o matter_n these_o proposition_n with_o many_o other_o of_o like_a nature_n be_v such_o as_o adam_n can_v be_v assure_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o by_o make_v reflection_n either_o on_o himself_o or_o on_o plant_n or_o live_a creature_n great_o confirm_v his_o belief_n in_o the_o divine_a testimony_n concern_v his_o creation_n we_o may_v easy_o infer_v that_o adam_n can_v not_o deceive_v himself_o about_o that_o matter_n chap._n ix_o that_o adam_n be_v confirm_v by_o his_o own_o experience_n in_o the_o persuasion_n he_o have_v entertain_v concern_v his_o creation_n when_o i_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o adam_n can_v satisfy_v himself_o concern_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n revelation_n by_o some_o natural_a and_o easy_a reflection_n i_o do_v find_v how_o any_o can_v think_v strange_a of_o this_o hypothesis_n except_o some_o perchance_o may_v think_v that_o i_o make_v adam_n too_o contemplative_a but_o if_o any_o will_v be_v please_v to_o make_v these_o follow_a observation_n they_o will_v justify_v i_o that_o i_o have_v attribute_v nothing_o to_o he_o but_o what_o agree_v exact_o with_o his_o character_n the_o first_o be_v that_o adam_n find_v himself_o immediate_o upon_o his_o creation_n at_o his_o full_a and_o perfect_a age_n he_o be_v void_a of_o those_o prejudices_fw-la which_o the_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n of_o his_o infancy_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o mind_n be_v not_o taint_v with_o popular_a error_n which_o oft_o be_v so_o great_a a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n he_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v any_o ill_a impression_n and_o when_o afterward_o he_o be_v so_o credulous_a as_o to_o give_v way_n to_o a_o temptation_n his_o experience_n prove_v a_o most_o powerful_a mean_n to_o inform_v his_o reason_n and_o withdraw_v he_o from_o his_o error_n beside_o we_o suppose_v here_o that_o the_o divine_a testimony_n which_o acquaint_v he_o with_o the_o particular_a circumstance_n of_o his_o creation_n be_v precedent_n to_o the_o reflection_n adam_n make_v and_o indeed_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o if_o we_o suppose_v some_o countryman_n not_o capable_a of_o discover_v of_o himself_o all_o on_o a_o sudden_a the_o manner_n how_o such_o a_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v yet_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o his_o reason_n alone_o will_v be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v he_o whether_o the_o thing_n happen_v in_o that_o manner_n which_o the_o relation_n of_o it_o import_v he_o need_v but_o consult_v the_o rule_n of_o probability_n to_o be_v determine_v in_o this_o matter_n adam_n have_v not_o only_o the_o advantage_n of_o be_v form_v at_o a_o perfect_a age_n of_o be_v acquaint_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n himself_o about_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n and_o of_o live_v so_o many_o age_n which_o give_v he_o leisure_n enough_o to_o consider_v the_o probability_n of_o what_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o he_o to_o examine_v the_o ground_n and_o certainty_n of_o it_o and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o judge_v whether_o the_o say_v reflection_n be_v to_o be_v reject_v as_o fabulous_a or_o to_o be_v rely_v on_o as_o of_o most_o certain_a and_o evident_a truth_n but_o over_o and_o above_o all_o this_o adam_z can_v rational_o assure_v himself_o of_o the_o manner_n how_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o see_v be_v do_v by_o the_o experience_n he_o have_v of_o other_o matter_n which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o divine_a revelation_n the_o

doctrine_n with_o which_o christ_n upbraid_v the_o pharisee_n and_o saducee_n but_o this_o corruption_n respect_v rather_o their_o moral_n than_o the_o external_o of_o their_o religion_n as_o appear_v plain_o from_o hence_o that_o jesus_n christ_n upbraid_v the_o pharisee_n with_o their_o tithing_n mint_n and_o cummin_n that_o be_v with_o their_o observance_n of_o outward_a nicety_n whilst_o they_o neglect_v the_o very_a essential_o of_o piety_n they_o hold_v that_o heathen_n can_v not_o pass_v for_o their_o neighbour_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n do_v not_o forbid_v they_o to_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o a_o heathen_a hence_o also_o they_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o kill_v their_o enemy_n and_o this_o foment_v their_o hatred_n and_o animosity_n against_o all_o other_o nation_n it_o be_v on_o this_o account_n that_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n marvel_v that_o he_o talk_v with_o a_o samaritan_n woman_n their_o decision_n concern_v adultery_n be_v no_o less_o corrupt_a which_o they_o declare_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v to_o the_o outward_a act_n which_o opinion_n of_o they_o be_v more_o gross_a than_o that_o of_o many_o heathen_n who_o have_v a_o true_a idea_n of_o the_o purity_n of_o heart_n which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o the_o body_n but_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o altogether_o destroy_v their_o religion_n though_o it_o obscure_v the_o excellency_n and_o sublimity_n thereof_o as_o for_o the_o saducee_n beside_o that_o their_o error_n be_v only_o speculative_a among_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o what_o the_o gospel_n say_v of_o their_o deny_v the_o existence_n of_o soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n must_v be_v understand_v with_o some_o qualification_n as_o the_o learned_a have_v solid_o prove_v and_o among_o other_o dr._n lightfoot_n on_o the_o gospel_n and_o without_o repeat_v those_o thing_n which_o seeur_v the_o preservation_n of_o their_o state_n and_o which_o also_o visible_o tend_v to_o the_o preserve_n of_o their_o religion_n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v that_o the_o jew_n at_o this_o day_n with_o very_o little_a difference_n be_v find_v in_o the_o same_o practice_n and_o opinion_n as_o to_o their_o religion_n which_o they_o have_v at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n see_v then_o that_o after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n of_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n we_o find_v no_o great_a change_n in_o their_o belief_n though_o their_o tradition_n be_v considerable_o increase_v the_o rule_n whereof_o they_o have_v infinite_o multiply_v and_o thereby_o increase_v this_o corruption_n how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v whole_o lose_v or_o have_v no_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n let_v this_o therefore_o be_v establish_v as_o a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o the_o jew_n subsist_v entire_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o know_v whether_o the_o distinction_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o discover_v and_o make_v know_v the_o messiah_n be_v still_o find_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o religion_n this_o be_v that_o i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o make_v out_o chap._n iu._n that_o all_o the_o distinction_n necessary_a for_o discover_v of_o the_o messiah_n still_o continue_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o lord_n i_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o any_o man_n can_v deny_v that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a mark_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v practise_v at_o that_o time_n if_o any_o one_o shall_v dare_v to_o dispute_v this_o truth_n we_o need_v only_o to_o represent_v to_o he_o that_o the_o main_a dispute_n between_o the_o first_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o jew_n be_v about_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o ceremony_n neither_o be_v the_o jew_n only_o obstinate_a in_o this_o belief_n but_o we_o find_v also_o that_o those_o who_o first_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n maintain_v that_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o ought_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o yoke_n of_o circumcision_n before_o they_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o divine_a covenant_n and_o enjoy_v the_o privilege_n of_o god_n people_n who_o circumcision_n distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world._n one_o see_v we_o that_o thou_o god_n scatter_v the_o ten_o tribe_n yet_o some_o of_o they_o still_o remain_v in_o palestine_n and_o be_v
