enough_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o believe_v those_o that_o do_v work_v miracle_n and_o be_v honest_a too_o christ_n work_v miracle_n and_o so_o do_v his_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v teacher_n that_o come_v from_o god_n for_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o work_v such_o miracle_n as_o they_o do_v unless_o they_o be_v send_v of_o god_n law_n doctrine_n or_o matter_n of_o law_n beside_o their_o teach_v and_o doctrine_n we_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a because_o we_o find_v it_o to_o be_v true_a by_o natural_a reason_n in_o matter_n of_o law_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o believe_v their_o relation_n to_o be_v true_a also_o for_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o such_o man_n as_o preach_v such_o doctrine_n and_o do_v such_o miracle_n must_v needs_o make_v as_o true_a relation_n of_o what_o they_o have_v teach_v and_o do_v for_o matter_n of_o fact_n why_o shall_v this_o be_v the_o chief_a scruple_n fact_n miracle_n or_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v it_o impossible_a for_o god_n to_o work_v miracle_n we_o can_v say_v it_o and_o do_v he_o not_o work_v miracle_n how_o can_v we_o but_o say_v it_o what_o do_v he_o not_o therefore_o work_v they_o because_o we_o see_v they_o not_o other_o do_v and_o they_o tell_v we_o of_o they_o and_o they_o that_o do_v they_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o do_v and_o other_o that_o see_v they_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o do_v shall_v we_o believe_v no_o body_n nor_o thing_n unless_o we_o see_v they_o how_o do_v we_o believe_v god_n who_o we_o never_o see_v it_o be_v by_o the_o relation_n of_o his_o work_n they_o tell_v we_o of_o he_o monstrat_fw-la quaelibet_fw-la herba_fw-la deum_fw-la the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o firmament_n show_v his_o handy_a work_n will_v not_o we_o that_o be_v honest_a be_v believe_v that_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o tell_v it_o to_o other_o conveyance_n conveyance_n why_o shall_v not_o christ_n witness_n be_v believe_v when_o they_o tell_v the_o world_n what_o they_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v even_o the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n the_o apostle_n can_v not_o but_o speak_v present_o after_o christ_n resurrection_n with_o great_a boldness_n what_o they_o have_v both_o see_v and_o hear_v and_o though_o it_o be_v now_o long_o since_o to_o we_o that_o be_v now_o alive_a yet_o they_o tell_v it_o to_o they_o that_o be_v hard_o by_o they_o and_o they_o tell_v it_o to_o they_o that_o be_v next_o and_o so_o one_o generation_n continue_v tell_v it_o one_o to_o another_o and_o so_o down_o to_o our_o time_n and_o we_o shall_v tell_v it_o to_o they_o that_o come_v after_o we_o to_o the_o world_n end_n there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o end_n of_o tell_v it_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v to_o their_o child_n child_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o this_o a_o possible_a and_o fair_a conveyance_n what_o can_v be_v desire_v more_o ubique_fw-la semper_fw-la ab_fw-la omnibus_fw-la ob._n some_o make_v false_a report_n sol._n therefore_o true_a report_n be_v the_o more_o believeable_a some_o speak_v as_o true_a as_o other_o speak_v false_a or_o else_o none_o speak_v true_a which_o no_o body_n can_v say_v ob._n how_o shall_v i_o be_v sure_o who_o speak_v true_a or_o false_a sol._n by_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o witness_n we_o that_o be_v honest_a know_v that_o we_o speak_v true_a and_o they_o that_o be_v honest_a do_v speak_v true_a and_o therefore_o all_o man_n be_v not_o false_a but_o some_o be_v true_a and_o by_o their_o work_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o whether_o their_o word_n be_v true_a now_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n go_v about_o do_v all_o the_o good_a they_o can_v preach_v repentance_n to_o all_o and_o heal_v every_o one_o that_o be_v disease_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o infirmity_n therefore_o they_o be_v true_a and_o beside_o god_n be_v in_o they_o and_o with_o they_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o preach_v and_o do_v miracle_n for_o never_o man_n speak_v as_o they_o speak_v or_o do_v as_o they_o do_v therefore_o both_o their_o word_n and_o work_n be_v all_o true_a and_o therefore_o worthy_a of_o all_o acceptation_n and_o belief_n quod_fw-la erat_fw-la demonstrandum_fw-la we_o shall_v take_v it_o very_o ill_a of_o other_o if_o we_o know_v the_o truth_n to_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o world_n shall_v abuse_v we_o for_o liar_n and_o dissembler_n and_o that_o we_o speak_v not_o a_o word_n of_o truth_n when_o god_n know_v and_o our_o own_o heart_n do_v know_v that_o we_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o we_o do_v call_v god_n to_o witness_v for_o what_o we_o say_v or_o do_v to_o deal_v with_o we_o no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o we_o mean_v honest_o and_o just_o in_o all_o that_o we_o say_v or_o do_v we_o believe_v ourselves_o when_o we_o speak_v truth_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o believe_v other_o that_o be_v as_o true_a man_n as_o ourselves_o but_o especial_o such_o as_o have_v power_n from_o god_n the_o god_n of_o truth_n to_o confirm_v all_o their_o doctrine_n and_o miracle_n which_o power_n we_o have_v not_o and_o yet_o be_v true_a man_n but_o they_o have_v therefore_o these_o extraordinary_a gift_n confirm_v upon_o they_o not_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o other_o that_o they_o may_v believe_v by_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o comfort_n and_o salvation_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n when_o the_o secret_n of_o all_o heart_n shall_v be_v disclose_v and_o we_o shall_v understand_v all_o truth_n without_o all_o scruple_n and_o when_o faith_n and_o hope_n shall_v cease_v because_o we_o enjoy_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o believe_v and_o hope_v for_o we_o can_v therefore_o say_v that_o nothing_o be_v true_a for_o god_n be_v true_a and_o god_n people_n be_v true_a and_o therefore_o something_o must_v be_v true_a and_o this_o which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o any_o thing_n must_v be_v true_a but_o put_v the_o case_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o unreasonable_a as_o not_o to_o believe_v as_o some_o be_v for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n because_o they_o will_v not_o have_v it_o though_o they_o may_v have_v it_o and_o especial_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v most_o reasonable_o and_o worthy_a and_o necessary_a and_o most_o profitable_a to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o save_v sinner_n i_o say_v suppose_v man_n shall_v be_v thus_o far_o unbelieving_a as_o to_o matter_n of_o fact_n concern_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o to_o save_v sinner_n doctrine_n doctrine_n yet_o why_o will_v they_o not_o believe_v this_o plain_a doctrine_n of_o so_o great_a a_o truth_n as_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v that_o they_o shall_v work_v righteousness_n and_o do_v to_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v by_o which_o be_v matter_n of_o right_n in_o all_o and_o to_o all_o whether_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n or_o not_o to_o save_v sinner_n yet_o to_o be_v sure_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v honest_a why_o then_o be_v so_o many_o quite_o contrary_a in_o their_o practice_n though_o in_o their_o mind_n they_o do_v agree_v as_o to_o common_a honesty_n though_o all_o man_n be_v so_o stubborn_a that_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n why_o shall_v they_o be_v so_o perverse_a as_o to_o have_v no_o honesty_n now_o what_o they_o can_v say_v to_o this_o or_o the_o other_o i_o know_v not_o except_o they_o shall_v say_v as_o they_o may_v true_o it_o be_v their_o own_o fault_n if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v nor_o live_v honest_o why_o because_o they_o will_v be_v high_a they_o will_v be_v rich_a because_o they_o know_v there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o wish_v so_o at_o least_o they_o will_v venture_v it_o certain_o every_o man_n as_o he_o will_v willing_o be_v believe_v when_o he_o say_v truth_n so_o he_o will_v as_o willing_a be_v love_v when_o he_o do_v truth_n that_o be_v he_o will_v be_v honest_o deal_v withal_o every_o way_n by_o every_o man_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n as_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o deal_v honest_o every_o way_n to_o every_o man_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o withal_o if_o there_o be_v salvation_n they_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v save_v who_o will_v not_o wish_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o that_o his_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o the_o most_o wicked_a man_n after_o all_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v happy_a the_o wise_a tell_v they_o they_o must_v use_v the_o right_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o happiness_n and_o that_o call_v no_o other_o than_o holiness_n well_o they_o that_o do_v live_v honest_o be_v approve_v though_o
