that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o divine_a faith_n and_o religion_n in_o certainty_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o you_o will_v bring_v in_o by_o unavoidable_a consequence_n far_o worse_a

make_v it_o good_a do_v but_o first_o observe_v 1._o that_o god_n essential_a will_n or_o mind_n be_v not_o in_o itself_o immediate_o see_v by_o man_n but_o know_v only_o by_o some_o revelation_n 2._o that_o this_o revelation_n be_v nothing_o but_o some_o sign_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o universe_n of_o being_n but_o god_n and_o creature_n and_o the_o act_n or_o work_v of_o creature_n now_o it_o be_v not_o god_n own_o essence_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n in_o question_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v either_o a_o creature_n or_o work_n of_o god_n or_o a_o act_n or_o work_n of_o a_o creature_n as_o the_o voice_n on_o mount_n sinai_n and_o that_o of_o christ_n at_o his_o baptism_n and_o transfiguration_n and_o the_o write_a table_n of_o stone_n etc._n etc._n be_v either_o the_o work_n of_o god_n immediate_o and_o so_o create_v sign_n of_o his_o mind_n or_o else_o the_o act_n of_o angel_n and_o so_o imperate_a sign_n of_o his_o mind_n nor_o it_o be_v not_o the_o ordinariness_n or_o extraordinariness_n of_o the_o way_n of_o make_v these_o sign_n which_o make_v they_o currant_n and_o true_a or_o credible_a for_o if_o god_n can_v make_v a_o natural_a false_a sign_n he_o can_v make_v a_o supernatural_a false_a one_o for_o aught_o any_o mortal_a man_n can_v prove_v only_o all_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n or_o not_o now_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n be_v god_n natural_a sign_n and_o his_o natural_a objective_n light_n and_o law_n as_o the_o perception_n of_o they_o be_v the_o

for_o god_n to_o speak_v or_o reveal_v false_o can_v he_o do_v it_o but_o 1._o either_o to_o make_v a_o false_a sign_n natural_o or_o supernatural_o or_o 2._o to_o determine_v man_n sense_n or_o

thing_n unseen_a and_o above_o sense_n and_o this_o be_v their_o meaning_n we_o see_v not_o god_n christ_n heaven_n angel_n etc._n etc._n but_o faith_n have_v always_o intelligible_a evidence_n of_o

we_o go_v to_o and_o our_o title_n to_o it_o as_o we_o have_v with_o this_o world_n i_o say_v whether_o this_o will_v not_o be_v more_o ascertain_v and_o satisfactory_a to_o we_o and_o banish_v all_o
