A81930	A seasonable discourse written by Mr. Iohn Dury upon the earnest requests of many, briefly shewing these particulars 1. What the grounds and method of our reformation ought to be in religion and learning. 2. How even in these times of distraction, the worke may be advanced. By the knowledge of Orientall tongues and Jewish mysteries. By an agency for advancement of universall learning. Published by Samuel Hartlib. Aprill 24. 1649. Imprimatur Joseph Caryl.

that_o the_o full_a confirmation_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n even_o to_o ourselves_o that_o be_v gentile_n shall_v not_o be_v complete_v in_o a_o public_a and_o church_n way_n

that_o be_v among_o man_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o christianity_n because_o it_o be_v manifest_a to_o all_o that_o we_o have_v deal_n with_o they_o in_o other_o thing_n even_o a_o free_a

before_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n in_o practical_a matter_n and_o in_o theoreticall_a the_o rule_n of_o rational_a truth_n shall_v precede_v the_o rule_n of_o religious_a truth_n for_o divine_a truth_n presuppose_v right_a reason_n and_o exalt_v it_o to_o object_n above_o sense_n and_o fancy_n so_o then_o the_o will_n be_v first_o to_o be_v wrought_v unto_o the_o affection_n and_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o then_o the_o understanding_n to_o the_o rule_n and_o exercise_n of_o reason_n these_o two_o then_o must_v gradual_o and_o hand_n in_o hand_n be_v lead_v unto_o perfection_n because_o the_o will_n be_v a_o know_v and_o the_o understanding_n a_o willing_a faculty_n and_o both_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o reason_n in_o their_o proper_a way_n five_o the_o application_n of_o

therefore_o as_o we_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v how_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v discern_v spiritual_o and_o natural_a thing_n natural_o each_o in_o his_o distinct_a sphere_n and_o way_n of_o

of_o true_a love_n to_o piety_n and_o learning_n without_o the_o vanity_n of_o outward_a interest_n countenance_n and_o support_v such_o erterprise_n but_o see_v we_o see_v little_a or_o no_o hope_n of_o any_o such_o assistance_n therefore_o we_o think_v it_o nor_o wisdom_n to_o prostitute_v those_o proposal_n without_o all_o appearance_n of_o success_n yet_o because_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o ought_v not_o we_o dare_v not_o even_o in_o these_o time_n altogether_o despare_v of_o all_o favourable_a providence_n therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v still_o to_o maintain_v some_o hope_n that_o in_o a_o age_n pretend_v so_o much_o to_o a_o reformation_n all_o assistance_n will_v not_o be_v want_v at_o least_o so_o much_o as_o will_v further_o some_o such_o preparative_n endeavour_n as_o

persist_v to_o offer_v chief_o to_o those_o who_o be_v in_o supreme_a authority_n and_o have_v mean_n for_o public_a use_n in_o their_o hand_n the_o consideration_n of_o two_o expedient_n which_o may_v prove_v by_o god_n blessing_n even_o in_o this_o age_n not_o only_o a_o hopeful_a but_o a_o extraordinary_a successful_a introduction_n to_o a_o future_a progress_n in_o these_o time_n the_o one_o be_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o oriental_a tongue_n and_o jewish_a mystery_n the_o other_o be_v for_o a_o agency_n towards_o the_o advancement_n of_o universal_a

they_o be_v matter_n of_o learning_n of_o the_o oriental_a language_n the_o mystery_n of_o jewish_a learning_n concern_v the_o oriental_a language_n and_o the_o writing_n of_o jewish_a mystery_n
