what_o god_n have_v reveal_v and_o when_o any_o doubt_n arise_v concern_v the_o mean_v of_o any_o divine_a revelation_n as_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o be_v to_o govern_v ourselves_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o it_o by_o what_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o those_o natural_a notion_n which_o we_o have_v of_o god_n and_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o reject_v that_o sense_n which_o be_v contrary_a thereto_o 4._o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v receive_v as_o a_o revelation_n from_o god_n which_o plain_o contradict_v the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n or_o overthrow_v the_o certainty_n of_o they_o under_o this_o head_n that_o excellent_a man_n conclude_v that_o a_o miracle_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o give_v credit_n to_o a_o prophet_n

intend_v it_o without_o doubt_n as_o a_o mighty_a prejudice_n against_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n that_o atheist_n and_o infidel_n pretend_v to_o both_o and_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o esteem_v nothing_o else_o and_o in_o truth_n a_o notable_a reason_v it_o be_v for_o a_o sermon_n as_o sermon_n ordinary_o now_o go_v but_o from_o the_o press_n or_o in_o a_o book_n it_o be_v a_o contemptible_a
