argument_n that_o be_v bring_v in_o the_o apology_n for_o indulgenee_n and_o to_o vindicate_v it_o from_o the_o exception_n make_v to_o it_o in_o a_o second_o discourse_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o

book_n call_v the_o peace-offering_a bear_v the_o name_n of_o several_a protestant_n but_o what_o sort_n or_o party_n of_o protestant_n it_o leaves_z we_o to_o conjecture_v some_o passage_n in_o it_o

of_o the_o late_a trouble_n of_o this_o nation_n flow_v from_o their_o counsel_n and_o design_n and_o wish_v that_o they_o be_v bury_v in_o a_o eternal_a oblivion_n never_o to_o rise_v up_o to_o the_o

contain_v more_o than_o be_v in_o the_o premise_n for_o their_o argument_n have_v only_o aim_v to_o prove_v that_o man_n apprehension_n of_o thing_n spiritual_a be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n so_o that_o their_o diversity_n be_v unavoidable_a but_o when_o they_o conclude_v they_o join_v with_o these_o apprehension_n the_o exercise_n of_o their_o conscience_n of_o which_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n in_o the_o premise_n and_o as_o their_o way_n of_o argue_v be_v fallacious_a so_o be_v the_o proposition_n themselves_o not_o true_a for_o 1._o this_o proposition_n that_o man_n

false_a for_o all_o those_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v if_o they_o do_v not_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n their_o not_o apprehension_n be_v 1_o impute_v unto_o they_o as_o their_o sin_n

be_v say_v to_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o can_v not_o be_v charge_v upon_o they_o have_v it_o not_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o apprehend_v those_o spiritual_a thing_n when_o preach_v unto_o they_o 2_o they_o be_v punish_v for_o it_o for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n send_v

they_o strong_a delusion_n to_o believe_v a_o lie_n when_o it_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o apprehend_v the_o

and_o vary_v not_o in_o itself_o and_o so_o the_o apprehension_n must_v be_v all_o the_o same_o in_o their_o nature_n i._n e._n in_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o thing_n apprehend_v although_o there_o

repudiate_v their_o carnal_a interest_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o tyranny_n of_o custom_n that_o which_o they_o offer_v for_o a_o proof_n be_v full_a of_o ambiguity_n as_o if_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o be_v understand_v for_o when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o thing_n supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o revelation_n from_o himself_o we_o do_v not_o
