there_o any_o virtue_n in_o christ_n presence_n that_o be_v not_o in_o god_n presence_n be_v not_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n one_o be_v though_o different_a as_o to_o relation_n and_o

and_o yet_o that_o his_o light_n in_o the_o heathen_a or_o great_a part_n of_o man_n be_v natural_a and_o create_v o_o monstrous_a inconsistency_n he_o affirm_v that_o the_o form_n of_o doctrine_n

that_o wherein_o be_v the_o power_n of_o rule_n and_o government_n to_o all_o true_a christian_n he_o give_v this_o judgement_n against_o we_o viz._n that_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o we_o how_o much_o soever_o we_o vain_o boast_v of_o it_o he_o say_v p._n 40._o and_o yet_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o essential_a presence_n of_o christ_n as_o god_n be_v in_o all_o man_n and_o that_o christ_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n with_o a_o faculty_n of_o reason_n or_o natural_a light_n by_o which_o he_o have_v acknowledge_v some_o light_n to_o be_v in_o every_o man_n though_o

that_o christ_n indeed_o as_o god_n do_v enlighten_v every_o man_n by_o which_o he_o may_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v that_o he_o be_v placable_a and_o

what_o they_o ought_v to_o believe_v and_o do_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n be_v not_o this_o palpable_a contradiction_n that_o man_n may_v by_o the_o light_n within_o be_v direct_v to_o

light_n in_o the_o heathen_a may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o to_o as_o much_o as_o god_n expect_v and_o yet_o not_o to_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n for_o salvation_n according_a to_o pag._n 42._o as_o if_o god_n do_v not_o require_v all_o man_n to_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n when_o their_o not_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n for_o which_o his_o spirit_n reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v condemn_v end_v already_o because_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v

after_o it_o be_v once_o set_v on_o foot_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n p._n 46._o and_o this_o he_o have_v contradict_v in_o his_o confess_v that_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o man_n be_v most_o
