their_o own_o conscience_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v the_o betray_v of_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o church_n and_o to_o their_o shame_n discover_v to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v never_o yet_o settle_v upon_o any_o firm_a foundation_n whereas_o one_o that_o have_v build_v his_o faith_n upon_o god_n promise_n be_v like_o a_o ship_n moar_v by_o her_o anchor_n

see_v that_o take_v all_o her_o ground_n from_o sense_n wherefore_o abraham_n that_o he_o may_v wax_v strong_a in_o faith_n silence_a reason_n which_o will_v have_v furnish_v he_o with_o argument_n against_o the_o promise_n of_o have_v a_o son_n by_o sarah_n for_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o consider_v not_o that_o be_v do_v not_o so_o much_o admit_v into_o debate_n reason_n draw_v from_o the_o deadness_n of_o his_o own_o body_n and_o of_o sarah_n womb_n rom._n 4.19_o no_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v so_o far_o from_o help_a faith_n that_o they_o be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a of_o all_o other_o mere_n to_o hinder_v it_o or_o overthrow_v it_o where_o it_o be_v when_o david_n judge_v by_o sense_n of_o god_n way_n and_o dispensation_n which_o represent_v unto_o he_o the_o

to_o weigh_v god_n promise_n of_o feed_v six_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n beside_o woman_n and_o child_n with_o flesh_n in_o the_o wilderness_n for_o a_o month_n together_o we_o see_v how_o hardly_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v it_o num._n 11.21_o 22_o 23._o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v conclude_v that_o see_v neither_o sense_n nor_o reason_n nor_o consequent_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n can_v bring_v any_o help_n to_o faith_n nay_o rather_o be_v the_o strong_a mean_n to_o oppose_v and_o hinder_v it_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o difficult_a work_n as_o be_v both_o above_o and_o
