plain_o enough_o describe_v there_o but_o if_o the_o author_n wo'n_v see_v they_o the_o doctor_n can_v find_v he_o eye_n and_o description_n too_o but_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o author_n have_v mend_v the_o matter_n in_o his_o handle_n the_o point_n but_o instead_o of_o give_v we_o a_o enumeration_n of_o the_o particular_n he_o have_v give_v we_o only_o some_o mark_n and_o qualification_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v which_o too_o if_o he_o have_v do_v it_o fair_o enough_o will_v have_v be_v pretty_a well_o 1._o and_o now_o the_o first_o qualification_n he_o make_v for_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o they_o be_v easy_o understand_v by_o the_o mean_a capacity_n i_o hope_v the_o author_n do_v not_o mean_a that_o man_n must_v understand_v every_o thing_n as_o far_o as_o they_o believe_v they_o and_o to_o believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v a_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o for_o this_o will_v be_v to_o exclude_v all_o faith_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o make_v man_n sceptic_n in_o every_o thing_n but_o of_o which_o they_o have_v demonstrative_a science_n if_o he_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v no_o fundamental_a truth_n to_o be_v believe_v but_o what_o the_o mean_a capacity_n can_v adequate_o comprehend_v the_o express_a modus_fw-la of_o they_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v more_o than_o ever_o he_o will_v be_v able_a to_o make_v out_o however_o he_o may_v attempt_v it_o as_o for_o what_o he_o bring_v of_o the_o poor_a have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v hide_v but_o to_o those_o who_o eye_n be_v blind_v and_o of_o the_o simplicity_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n these_o text_n the_o author_n have_v foist_v in_o to_o no_o purpose_n and_o contrary_a to_o their_o intent_n and_o meaning_n for_o they_o be_v speak_v only_o to_o show_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o pharisaical_a gloss_n or_o deep_a philosophical_a nicety_n knowable_a only_o by_o a_o few_o learned_a man_n but_o in_o plain_a truth_n which_o any_o one_o of_o a_o mean_a capacity_n may_v perceive_v as_o far_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o his_o salvation_n and_o one_o of_o these_o i_o have_v show_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n to_o be_v as_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o its_o existence_n in_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o preface_n but_o the_o author_n will_v have_v the_o apostle_n st._n paul_n rom._n 10._o 9_o to_o judge_v it_o a_o great_a defect_n of_o faith_n if_o there_o be_v any_o difficulty_n in_o it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o see_v nothing_o like_o such_o a_o judgement_n in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o it_o argue_v a_o defect_n of_o faith_n to_o have_v the_o matter_n of_o it_o difficult_a to_o believe_v nay_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o contrary_a to_o this_o if_o thou_o shall_v believe_v in_o thy_o heart_n that_o god_n raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a thou_o shall_v be_v save_v that_o be_v if_o thou_o shall_v believe_v such_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n as_o christ_n resurrection_n which_o be_v so_o strange_a and_o difficult_a to_o be_v believe_v by_o all_o carnal_a man_n thou_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o why_o shall_v difficulty_n make_v a_o defect_n of_o faith_n it_o have_v be_v general_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a increase_n and_o exaltation_n of_o faith_n when_o the_o matter_n have_v be_v hard_a to_o believe_v as_o in_o abraham_n who_o believe_v against_o hope_n and_o who_o faith_n for_o this_o very_a reason_n the_o author_n do_v extraordinary_o celebrate_v a_o chapter_n or_o two_o before_o however_o he_o may_v have_v forget_v himself_o now_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n indeed_o he_o allow_v to_o be_v something_o of_o a_o mystery_n and_o difficult_a to_o believe_v under_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o be_v very_o positive_a that_o in_o no_o other_o word_n of_o scripture_n we_o meet_v the_o least_o intimation_n that_o faith_n have_v any_o hard_a task_n for_o the_o understanding_n to_o perform_v but_o i_o think_v there_o may_v have_v be_v some_o difficulty_n in_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n itself_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o saviour_n calling_n his_o religion_n a_o yoke_n wherein_o man_n carnal_a reason_n be_v to_o be_v subjugate_v as_o well_o as_o their_o affection_n by_o his_o be_v set_v for_o the_o fall_n of_o many_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o the_o greek_n foolishness_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o plain_o show_v there_o be_v at_o least_o some_o intimation_n of_o a_o difficulty_n for_o faith_n under_o the_o gospel_n 2._o his_o second_o qualification_n be_v that_o matter_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n this_o rule_n of_o the_o author_n hold_v well_o enough_o yea_o so_o well_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a he_o will_v never_o stand_v by_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o issue_n for_o if_o the_o socinian_o or_o other_o opposer_n of_o christ_n divinity_n will_v once_o come_v to_o be_v determine_v by_o express_a text_n of_o scripture_n that_o controversy_n will_v

of_o pain_n to_o lay_v his_o matter_n in_o order_n though_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v make_v little_a to_o his_o purpose_n for_o we_o will_v grant_v all_o that_o he_o have_v be_v here_o say_v be_v true_a if_o he_o let_v the_o matter_n lie_v as_o the_o apostle_n leave_v it_o against_o the_o gnostic_n nay_o but_o perhaps_o the_o trinitarian_n will_v not_o so_o easy_o get_v off_o here_o and_o true_o any_o one_o that_o understand_v the_o design_n of_o the_o author_n book_n will_v expect_v from_o these_o proposition_n some_o wonderful_a confutation_n of_o the_o trinitarian_n doctrine_n but_o our_o author_n very_o cunning_o let_v that_o alone_a and_o by_o a_o hocuspocus_a trick_n clap_v before_o our_o eye_n some_o romish_a corruption_n which_o be_v occasion_v he_o tell_v we_o by_o people_n that_o heap_v to_o themselves_o teacher_n have_v itch_a ear_n and_o those_o teacher_n heap_v to_o themselves_o doctrine_n to_o scratch_v that_o itch_n and_o so_o the_o monk_n by_o scratch_v and_o claw_v one_o another_o scratch_v themselves_o into_o all_o the_o error_n of_o the_o school-divinity_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v such_o error_n that_o destroy_v the_o gospel_n

though_o for_o all_o the_o author_n have_v say_v to_o this_o point_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v very_o safe_a yet_o because_o he_o will_v sly_o insinuate_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v one_o of_o those_o romish_a error_n that_o destroy_v the_o simplicity_n of_o christianity_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o make_v he_o this_o answer_n first_o that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v very_o consistent_a with_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o that_o doctrine_n but_o what_o a_o man_n of_o ordinary_a capacity_n may_v understand_v as_o much_o at_o least_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o his_o belief_n and_o as_o far_o as_o his_o judgement_n tell_v he_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v understand_v i_o can_v see_v why_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v derogate_v from_o the_o simplicity_n of_o christianity_n now_o first_o in_o this_o doctrine_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o a_o man_n of_o mean_a part_n may_v understand_v as_o far_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o his_o belief_n for_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o such_o a_o man_n or_o indeed_o any_o man_n shall_v full_o understand_v all_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v for_o that_o will_v not_o be_v belief_n but_o science_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o belief_n that_o a_o man_n have_v undoubted_a testimony_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v so_o whether_o he_o understand_v the_o manner_n or_o perhaps_o the_o possibility_n of_o its_o be_v so_o or_o not_o we_o be_v wont_n to_o take_v many_o thing_n upon_o trust_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n learn_v in_o their_o respective_a science_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o we_o be_v far_o from_o understanding_n and_o mathematician_n can_v demonstrate_v many_o truth_n and_o which_o man_n unlearned_a in_o their_o science_n take_v upon_o their_o word_n though_o to_o they_o they_o seem_v otherways_o impossible_a now_o if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o a_o plain_a unlearned_a man_n shall_v believe_v many_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o wise_a and_o more_o know_v man_n i_o think_v it_o a_o less_o imposition_n upon_o the_o understanding_n of_o plain_a man_n to_o require_v they_o to_o believe_v a_o reveal_v truth_n from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o alwise_a and_o all-knowing_a god_n second_o a_o plain_a man_n understand_v as_o much_o in_o this_o doctrine_n as_o his_o judgement_n tell_v he_o it_o be_v reasonable_a he_o shall_v understand_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o that_o nature_n and_o it_o be_v high_o unreasonable_a for_o any_o man_n to_o expect_v more_o if_o any_o one_o indeed_o how_o wise_a soever_o shall_v tell_v the_o plain_a man_n that_o bread_n be_v flesh_n the_o plain_a man_n will_v think_v this_o unreasonable_a to_o believe_v because_o he_o know_v the_o difference_n between_o bread_n and_o flesh_n as_o well_o as_o any_o one_o can_v tell_v he_o and_o because_o than_o he_o be_v require_v to_o disbelieve_v his_o sense_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o which_o they_o be_v the_o proper_a judge_n but_o if_o this_o plain_a man_n be_v inform_v by_o a_o undoubted_a testimony_n of_o something_o which_o indeed_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v concern_v god_n who_o nature_n and_o essence_n his_o reason_n tell_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v or_o any_o one_o else_o though_o of_o the_o

which_o confirm_v this_o his_o belief_n do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o boggle_v at_o what_o '_o be_v so_o deliver_v for_o a_o person_n of_o the_o ordinary_a reason_n that_o believe_v a_o god_n and_o

to_o think_v his_o finite_a understanding_n shall_v comprehend_v all_o the_o mysterious_a truth_n in_o a_o infinite_a deity_n second_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o every_o plain_a simple_a man_n
