which_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o perceive_v their_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n and_o self_n evident_a principle_n or_o proposition_n and_o the_o use_n that_o can_v be_v make_v of_o they_o

consequence_n to_o and_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n this_o charge_n seem_v to_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o last_o word_n of_o mr._n lock_n be_v proposition_n viz._n as_o express_v in_o any_o proposition_n now_o some_o proposition_n come_v to_o we_o by_o divine_a revelation_n and_o several_a of_o these_o proposition_n be_v such_o we_o can_v perceive_v by_o

of_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o proposition_n bring_v to_o we_o some_o other_o way_n do_v consist_v in_o if_o it_o shall_v now_o be_v ask_v whether_o see_v there_o be_v certain_a proposition_n which_o

i_o answer_v that_o when_o a_o account_n be_v give_v of_o the_o determine_a idea_n for_o which_o those_o phrase_n inconsistent_a with_o and_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n do_v stand_v whether_o

be_v yes_o very_o well_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o proposition_n do_v not_o depend_v on_o our_o be_v certain_a of_o or_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o if_o by_o inconsistent_a with_o those_o article_n be_v mean_v that_o we_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o or_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o those_o article_n than_o the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v from_o mr._n lock_n be_v proposition_n that_o we_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o or_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o those_o article_n to_o which_o the_o answer_n be_v yes_o but_o the_o proposition_n for_o all_o that_o be_v inconsistent_a enough_o with_o those_o article_n though_o it_o can_v consi_v well_o with_o people_n pretend_v to_o know_v what_o god_n have_v set_v out_o of_o their_o reach_n and_o which_o they_o can_v attain_v to_o know_v it_o be_v no_o wrong_n at_o all_o to_o those_o article_n to_o say_v we_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o or_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o it_o be_v a_o speak_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o a_o attribute_v unto_o they_o the_o pre●eminence_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o if_o ●_z be_v resolve_v they_o will_v use_v this_o phrase_n inconsistent_a with_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o yet_o mr._n lock_n be_v proposition_n will_v continue_v true_a and_o can_v do_v any_o injury_n to_o any_o one_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o what_o will_v become_v then_o may_z some_z say_v of_o those_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n or_o of_o those_o proposition_n which_o come_v to_o we_o by_o divine_a revelation_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o we_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o or_o know_v answer_n they_o will_v continue_v just_a as_o they_o be_v very_o great_a even_o
