possible_a that_o a_o be_v more_o excellent_a shall_v understand_v thing_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o one_o that_o be_v less_o excellent_a it_o be_v rational_a to_o suppose_v it_o may_v beside_o

that_o only_o those_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v allow_v in_o public_a worship_n which_o the_o sovereign_n ordain_v so_o now_o it_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o he_o will_v allow_v he_o any_o

have_v deny_v god_n his_o attribute_n he_o give_v the_o sovereign_a power_n to_o restore_v god_n attribute_n to_o he_o again_o but_o what_o nonsense_n be_v this_o that_o a_o sovereign_n that_o be_v

à_fw-la parte_fw-la ante_fw-la and_o parte_fw-la post_fw-la it_o be_v the_o undoubted_a word_n of_o god_n and_o according_o to_o be_v believe_v for_o i_o suppose_v mr._n hobbes_n will_v grant_v that_o

that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v in_o every_o place_n and_o part_n of_o it_o to_o be_v believe_v but_o suppose_v a_o man_n natural_a reason_n shall_v tell_v he_o that_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o

there_o be_v in_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o the_o next_o page_n where_o he_o say_v that_o god_n may_v speak_v to_o a_o man_n by_o dream_n vision_n or_o inspiration_n but_o no_o other_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o which_o take_v as_o a_o universal_a proposition_n make_v a_o end_n of_o all_o belief_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v before_o and_o refer_v matter_n

beside_o the_o error_n and_o foolish_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o particular_o of_o deut._n 13._o v_o 5._o which_o say_v that_o a_o dreamer_n or_o a_o prophet_n that_o seek_v to_o make_v

the_o 1._o of_o gal._n 1_o 8._o where_o paul_n say_v that_o he_o that_o preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n let_v he_o be_v accurse_v that_o be_v say_v mr._n hobbes_n that_o christ_n be_v king_n and_o hence_o he_o infer_v that_o all_o preach_n against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n be_v accurse_v which_o let_v it_o be_v as_o true_a as_o it_o will_v in_o itself_o be_v such_o a_o unreasonable_a inference_n that_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v more_o expose_v but_o now_o i_o think_v upon_o it_o it_o be_v probable_a mr._n hobbes_n look_v into_o scripture_n to_o find_v a_o text_n which_o may_v maintain_v that_o they_o be_v accurse_v in_o 1651._o that_o preach_v revolt_a from_o oliver_n army_n or_o that_o the_o say_a army_n who_o have_v the_o power_n and_o consequent_o be_v mr._n hobbes_n his_o king_n which_o he_o attend_v to_o determine_v matter_n of_o religion_n can_v not_o settle_v any_o thing_n for_o scripture_n or_o religion_n it_o please_v or_o that_o preach_v that_o

observe_v of_o mahomet_n doctrine_n for_o religion_n that_o the_o turk_n teach_v within_o his_o dominion_n or_o that_o a_o papist_n shall_v teach_v if_o uppermost_a so_o now_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v do_v like_o a_o scholar_n as_o he_o may_v well_o think_v to_o find_v a_o place_n in_o the_o bible_n to_o prevent_v preach_v against_o the_o alcoran_n or_o mass_n yet_o to_o do_v mr._n hobbes_n right_o after_o his_o so_o many_o assertion_n that_o that_o only_o be_v to_o be_v acknowledge_v as_o canonical_a scripture_n which_o the_o civil_a sovereign_n say_v be_v so_o and_o that_o in_o 1651._o he_o attend_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o sword_n to_o decide_v all_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o he_o can_v acknowledge_v nothing_o to_o be_v canonical_a scripture_n but_o that_o which_o the_o

he_o mean_v that_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v so_o only_o until_o the_o sword_n have_v at_o that_o time_n determine_v it_o after_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v lay_v down_o positive_a general_a

the_o particular_n of_o the_o several_a book_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o hope_n there_o i_o suppose_v to_o complete_a the_o work_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o several_a book_n especial_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o write_v by_o those_o that_o be_v common_o suppose_v to_o be_v the_o penman_n of_o they_o but_o by_o other_o a_o long_a time_n after_o their_o death_n which_o if_o true_a may_v raise_v a_o scruple_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o only_o he_o say_v that_o he_o suppose_v moses_n write_v the_o great_a part_n of_o deuteronomy_n else_o that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v pen_v general_o by_o esdras_n for_o which_o he_o cite_v the_o apocrypha_fw-la esdras_n the_o 14_o the_o chapter_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o esdras_n pen_v they_o after_o the_o captivity_n to_o answer_v particular_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o this_o will_v require_v a_o very_a large_a discourse_n enough_o to_o tire_v out_o both_o i_o and_o my_o reader_n beside_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a my_o while_n to_o answer_v general_a assertion_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o general_a admission_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a

in_o i_o shall_v answer_v particular_o he_o say_v the_o pentateuch_n be_v pen_v long_o after_o moses_n death_n and_o for_o this_o he_o cite_v the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n v._n 6._o which_o say_v that_o when_o abraham_n pass_v through_o the_o land_n to_o the_o plain_a of_o moreh_n the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n which_o show_v clear_o say_v mr._n hobbes_n that_o this_o book_n be_v

to_o be_v understand_v or_o may_v not_o the_o text_n be_v rational_o intend_v that_o moses_n say_v this_o to_o declare_v that_o the_o canaanite_n be_v then_o in_o the_o land_n and_o not_o any_o
