that_o the_o grecian_n do_v retain_v the_o name_n of_o japetus_n jove_n aeolus_n and_o many_o other_o not_o know_v whence_o they_o spring_v but_o when_o the_o story_n of_o moses_n do_v show_v their_o kindred_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v more_o ancient_a than_o the_o monument_n of_o the_o greek_n a_o mighty_a &_o a_o famous_a people_n be_v that_o of_o the_o imerians_n who_o posterity_n without_o all_o doubt_n be_v the_o cimbrian_o but_o their_o stock_n your_o greek_n know_v not_o which_o the_o some_o of_o the_o word_n do_v show_v to_o be_v gomer_n the_o son_n of_o japhet_n now_o there_o be_v a_o kinder_v among_o the_o egyptian_n call_v in_o their_o natural_a speech_n and_o in_o the_o a●rabian_a tongue_n mizrai_n but_o book_n do_v show_v nizraim_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o cham_n the_o first_o ancient_a among_o the_o greek_n be_v the_o war_n of_o the_o argonians_n and_o then_o of_o the_o trojan_n but_o the_o time_n &_o course_n of_o year_n which_o the_o grecian_n themselves_o have_v observe_v do_v show_v that_o the_o trojan_a war_n be_v not_o long_o before_o david_n and_o that_o hercules_n be_v almost_o of_o the_o same_o time_n with_o sapson_n so_o the_o name_n &_o history_n of_o the_o heathen_a do_v testify_v that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o more_o ancient_a which_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o the_o studious_a to_o consider_v in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o have_v set_v a_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n whereof_o there_o be_v two_o part_n the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o see_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n be_v grafft_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n reason_n in_o all_o man_n be_v enforce_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o nation_n to_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n which_o do_v establish_v law_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v the_o common_a madness_n of_o all_o the_o gentile_n to_o call_v upon_o a_o multitude_n of_o god_n and_o to_o devise_v monstrous_a fable_n of_o the_o god_n and_o even_o in_o their_o law_n to_o yield_v unto_o the_o filthy_a confusion_n of_o lust_n some_o of_o they_o also_o the_o murder_a of_o man_n whordom_n and_o adultery_n have_v be_v think_v a_o good_a serve_v of_o god_n reason_n therefore_o enforce_v to_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o church_n the_o law_n be_v teach_v much_o better_o this_o argument_n also_o the_o old_a writer_n have_v use_v in_o confute_v the_o heathen_a and_o howsoever_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o know_v unto_o reason_n yet_o do_v it_o lay_v open_a those_o thing_n whereof_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o heathen_a can_v speak_v no_o certainty_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o understanding_n of_o they_o be_v necessary_a forsomuch_o as_o man_n be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o be_v make_v to_o know_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n from_o whence_o come_v so_o many_o doubt_n in_o the_o disagreement_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o hart_n whence_o be_v that_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o such_o a_o burn_a desire_n to_o sin_n see_v that_o y●_z law_n shine_v in_o y●_z mind_n be_v man_n make_v to_o live_v in_o everlasting_a sin_n &_o misery_n what_o be_v sin_n &_o whence_o come_v that_o vast_a heap_n of_o humane_a misery_n whence_o be_v those_o so_o many_o dissension_n about_o god_n as_o whether_o god_n do_v hear_v man_n or_o why_o he_o shall_v regard_v they_o whether_o after_o y●_z body_n be_v once_o dead_a there_o shall_v be_v another_o life_n in_o which_o shall_v be_v a_o difference_n between_o good_a &_o bad_a what_o man_n be_v god_n temple_n who_o he_o do_v hear_v and_o help_v of_o these_o so_o weighty_a matter_n what_o great_a darkness_n be_v there_o in_o all_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o heathen_a how_o many_o fury_n of_o the_o philosopher_n who_o like_o the_o son_n of_o titan_n make_v war_n with_o heaven_n either_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o providence_n or_o be_v god_n to_o secondary_a cause_n and_o labour_n to_o prove_v that_o all_o sin_n be_v of_o necessity_n see_v therefore_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o remedy_n of_o evil_a be_v necessary_a for_o man_n and_o yet_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o heathen_a see_v it_o not_o true_o let_v we_o embrace_v god_n voice_n in_o the_o church_n see_v he_o have_v add_v great_a testimony_n thereunto_o reason_n acknowledge_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o where_o pure_o deliver_v but_o in_o the_o church_n and_o see_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n be_v there_o let_v we_o hear_v this_o doctrine_n of_o which_o the_o heathen_a be_v enforce_v to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v great_a ignorance_n in_o their_o religion_n and_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o the_o open_n of_o these_o question_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o know_v of_o god_n for_o the_o which_o man_n be_v make_v and_o for_o true_a comfort_n therefore_o that_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n in_o the_o church_n be_v most_o delightful_a to_o good_a mind_n when_o the_o pure_a fountain_n be_v thereof_o taste_v i_o account_v not_o in_o the_o church_n the_o roman_a tyrant_n and_o the_o monk_n their_o champion_n who_o have_v disperse_v throughout_o the_o world_n their_o filthy_a poison_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o have_v transform_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n into_o heathenish_a opinion_n they_o pray_v unto_o the_o dead_a man_n they_o command_v man_n to_o worship_v their_o breaden_a god_n which_o they_o carry_v about_o in_o their_o great_a solemnity_n they_o sell_v sacrifice_n for_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a they_o make_v god_n worship_v stagelike_a vesture_n and_o other_o delusion_n and_o confirm_v their_o rove_a lust_n this_o wicked_a rout_n i_o call_v not_o the_o church_n but_o they_o which_o deliver_v the_o sound_n doctrine_n of_o god_n deliver_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n &_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o creed_n many_o other_o also_o do_v corrupt_v the_o simple_a truth_n and_o the_o sleight_n in_o dispute_v be_v delightful_a to_o some_o as_o in_o time_n past_a to_o the_o stoic_n epicure_n &_o academic_n but_o when_o we_o commend_v this_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n we_o do_v exclude_v all_o corruption_n and_o toy_n in_o vain_a dispute_n in_o the_o 4._o place_n we_o account_v the_o wonderful_a preservation_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o empire_n which_o although_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v under_o the_o first_o testimony_n that_o be_v among_o miracle_n yet_o in_o this_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o former_a because_o it_o be_v a_o perpetual_a miracle_n of_o the_o continual_a presence_n of_o god_n &_o pertain_v to_o that_o special_a rule_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n abide_v for_o ever_o and_o not_o by_o the_o help_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v write_v not_o in_o a_o host_n nor_o in_o strength_n but_o in_o my_o spirit_n say_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o boast_n in_o the_o 5._o place_n be_v the_o constancy_n of_o confessor_n account_v which_o confirm_v other_o 2_o way_n first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o man_n miracle_n wherein_o god_n strengthen_v the_o weak_a against_o fear_n &_o punishment_n &_o show_v his_o present_n many_o way_n even_o in_o their_o suffering_n many_o simple_a man_n have_v raise_v the_o dead_a and_o do_v many_o wonder_n 2._o because_o the_o high_a mind_n in_o such_o as_o quiet_o bear_v affliction_n do_v show_v the_o gospel_n be_v powerful_a in_o they_o &_o that_o it_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o god_n as_o john_n say_v whereby_o eternal_a life_n righteousness_n and_o joy_n be_v begin_v in_o they_o 6_o this_o testimony_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o faithful_a do_v plain_o convince_v their_o mind_n namely_o the_o comfort_n and_o joy_n which_o be_v kindle_v in_o they_o by_o the_o
