a_o frvitfull_a sermon_n on_o 1_o cor._n 15._o 18_o 19_o write_v by_o william_n pemble_n of_o magdalen_n hall_n in_o oxford_n london_n print_v by_o r._n y._n for_o john_n bartlet_n at_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o gilt-cup_n in_o cheapside_n 1629._o to_o the_o reader_n we_o do_v find_v christian_n reader_n great_a opposition_n make_v against_o our_o faith_n not_o only_o by_o our_o affection_n but_o chief_o by_o our_o reason_n for_o when_o our_o faith_n be_v encounter_v by_o our_o affection_n we_o do_v gather_v many_o time_n some_o succour_n from_o our_o reason_n but_o when_o our_o faith_n be_v lay_v at_o by_o our_o reason_n the_o tentation_n be_v not_o more_o strong_a than_o dangerous_a for_o if_o our_o reason_n get_v the_o better_a of_o our_o faith_n in_o any_o particular_a our_o affection_n follow_v amain_o and_o such_o tentation_n where_o they_o once_o take_v do_v shake_v and_o stagger_v the_o strong_a christian_n man_n i_o know_v be_v most_o a_o end_n wed_v to_o their_o passion_n and_o do_v live_v more_o after_o their_o 9_o perturbation_n than_o their_o reason_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v little_a good_a to_o be_v do_v on_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n till_o his_o 9_o perturbation_n be_v at_o some_o quiet_n now_o where_o our_o reason_n be_v guide_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o word_n there_o it_o do_v good_a upon_o our_o passion_n but_o where_o our_o reason_n go_v by_o its_o own_o principle_n and_o not_o by_o the_o word_n there_o our_o affection_n be_v the_o worse_a for_o our_o reason_n and_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o come_v to_o deny_v all_o his_o affection_n till_o he_o have_v first_o deny_v his_o reason_n but_o bless_v be_v god_n faith_n be_v our_o 4._o victory_n and_o it_o do_v not_o only_o quiet_a the_o affection_n but_o at_o last_o it_o do_v so_o triumph_v over_o reason_n itself_o that_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o become_v 18._o fool_n that_o they_o may_v be_v wise_a the_o 6._o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n rest_v not_o till_o it_o be_v satisfy_v and_o nothing_o can_v give_v full_a and_o ultimate_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o intellect_n and_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n till_o by_o faith_n it_o be_v captivate_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o 216._o god_n and_o 5._o christ_n and_o when_o that_o be_v once_o do_v than_o reason_n follow_v the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o affection_n follow_v the_o light_n of_o reason_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o faith_n do_v adhere_v with_o most_o firmness_n to_o those_o principle_n and_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n wherein_o reason_n be_v quite_o at_o a_o stand_n i_o will_v make_v my_o instance_n in_o the_o article_n of_o our_o resurrection_n a_o point_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o i_o know_v but_o 5_o one_o utter_o above_o the_o whole_a element_n of_o nature_n reason_n in_o itself_o do_v not_o only_o deny_v it_o but_o deride_v it_o 55._o philosopher_n hiss_v at_o it_o 24._o the_o apostle_n themselves_o in_o that_o their_o great_a tentation_n do_v for_o a_o time_n look_v somewhat_o strange_a upon_o it_o but_o yet_o we_o see_v when_o their_o reason_n be_v deny_v and_o their_o faith_n take_v place_n passim_fw-la they_o be_v not_o more_o willing_a to_o live_v and_o die_v upon_o any_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n than_o upon_o this_o of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o to_o believe_v this_o be_v a_o mere_a act_n of_o faith_n alone_o principium_fw-la one_o perhaps_o two_o of_o the_o apostle_n see_v his_o death_n none_o his_o resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v so_o order_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o this_o main_a
