as_o a_o proposition_n of_o faith_n for_o whatsoever_o the_o church_n believe_v as_o a_o proposition_n of_o faith_n be_v upon_o this_o ground_n that_o christ_n teach_v it_o as_o such_o unto_o the_o church_n he_o plant_v himself_o and_o so_o leave_v it_o in_o trust_n to_o be_v by_o it_o deliver_v over_o to_o the_o next_o age_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o present_a church_n believe_v any_o proposition_n to_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v because_o the_o immediate_a precede_a church_n of_o the_o age_n before_o deliver_v it_o as_o such_o and_o so_o you_o may_v derive_v it_o on_o from_o age_n to_o age_n until_o you_o come_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o christ_n for_o to_o have_v any_o false_a proposition_n of_o faith_n admit_v into_o the_o church_n in_o any_o age_n do_v suppose_v that_o

many_o man_n spread_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o different_a in_o their_o particular_a interest_n and_o end_n and_o of_o such_o various_a disposition_n and_o nature_n shall_v all_o agree_v together_o in_o the_o forgery_n of_o any_o precise_a lie_n which_o be_v most_o impossible_a though_o any_o one_o man_n may_v be_v liable_a to_o be_v deceive_v or_o out_o of_o some_o indirect_a end_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o deceive_v other_o whence_o i_o come_v to_o say_v that_o faith_n depend_v on_o these_o two_o proposition_n first_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n say_v be_v true_a next_o that_o god_n i_o say_v this_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o be_v deliver_v thus_o by_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o primary_a original_a natural_a appetence_n of_o man_n soul_n be_v the_o love_n of_o truth_n which_o it_o vehement_o desire_v and_o be_v always_o unquiet_a and_o ardent_a in_o the_o search_n of_o it_o upon_o what_o occasion_n soever_o and_o this_o

and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o soul_n contrary_a to_o their_o natural_a inclination_n to_o the_o maintain_n of_o a_o lie_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o mankind_n or_o such_o a_o vast_a
