the_o whole_a scripture_n except_o it_o be_v in_o a_o history_n or_o where_o the_o quotation_n be_v mention_v therefore_o sure_o it_o may_v be_v pertinent_a and_o sometime_o useful_a even_o in_o the_o

such_o a_o profession_n of_o god_n truth_n do_v but_o flatter_v themselves_o they_o only_o think_v they_o believe_v but_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o faith_n in_o they_o for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o divine_a truth_n so_o utter_o speculative_a but_o that_o there_o natural_o and_o infallible_o flow_v and_o result_v from_o it_o as_o

and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o confirm_v by_o induction_n examine_v the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o our_o assent_n to_o the_o chief_a fundamental_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n by_o our_o practice_n answerable_a thereto_o and_o conclude_v that_o where_o the_o latter_a be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v it_o be_v but_o a_o vain_a persuasion_n and_o fantastical_a illusion_n for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v he_o have_v the_o former_a 12._o but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a and_o without_o

object_n 11.19_o jam._n 11.19_o the_o devil_n as_o saint_n james_n say_v believe_v and_o tremble_v they_o do_v indeed_o assent_v unto_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o the_o place_n of_o st._n james_n they_o acknowledge_v one_o god_n in_o matth._n 8.28_o they_o acknowledge_v the_o second_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n allow_v christ_n to_o be_v son_n of_o god_n

therefore_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o firm_a assent_n to_o divine_a truth_n there_o may_v consist_v with_o it_o a_o contrary_a repugnant_a practice_n 13._o for_o answer_v therefore_o we_o must_v know_v sol._n that_o the_o assent_n which_o the_o devil_n give_v to_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n be_v extreme_o different_a from_o that_o belief_n which_o be_v exact_v of_o we_o christian_n and_o which_o every_o one_o of_o we_o though_o never_o so_o vicious_a and_o irreligious_a will_v glad_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o we_o allow_v unto_o god_n word_n for_o though_o for_o example_n the_o devil_n acknowledge_v the_o precept_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o be_v holy_a and_o just_o and_o good_a and_o most_o fit_a to_o be_v observe_v as_o likewise_o that_o to_o those_o who_o sincere_o and_o without_o hypocrisy_n shall_v perform_v these_o commandment_n of_o god_n 11.1_o heb._n 11.1_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v yea_o and_o amen_o they_o shall_v

be_v barren_a and_o unfruitful_a of_o good_a work_n whereas_o our_o faith_n say_v st._n paul_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o of_o thing_n which_o concern_v we_o we_o do_v not_o only_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o precept_n of_o god_n be_v good_a but_o also_o necessary_o to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v not_o only_o desirable_a in_o

by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n be_v execute_v by_o we_o even_o with_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n now_o wheresoever_o such_o persuasion_n as_o these_o be_v it_o be_v impossible_a even_o if_o the_o

argue_v against_o your_o pretence_n we_o can_v have_v no_o certainty_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o your_o church_n but_o upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o your_o pope_n be_v infallible_a in_o

a_o ellipsis_n of_o the_o particle_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o greek_a very_o ordinary_a neither_o want_v it_o some_o likelihood_n that_o s._n paul_n compare_v the_o church_n to_o a_o

the_o name_n of_o pillar_n rather_o then_o have_v call_v the_o church_n a_o house_n to_o call_v it_o present_o a_o pillar_n which_o may_v seem_v somewhat_o heterogeneous_a yet_o if_o you_o will_v

but_o than_o second_o i_o be_o to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o the_o church_n which_o s._n paul_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v that_o in_o which_o timothy_n converse_v and_o that_o be_v a_o
