A47321	A rational, compendious way to convince, without any dispute, all persons whatsoever, dissenting from the true religion. By J.K.	Keynes, John, 1625?-1697.	1674 (1674)	Wing K393; ESTC R200380	33,446	158

suppose_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v something_o better_a than_o another_o this_o be_v a_o evident_a truth_n assent_v unto_o by_o all_o rational_a man_n and_o whoever_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v something_o better_a than_o another_o must_v necessary_o deny_v himself_o to_o be_v better_a than_o a_o ass_n or_o a_o block_n for_o if_o he_o be_v better_o than_o there_o be_v something_o better_o than_o another_o and_o certain_o whoever_o come_v to_o deny_v himself_o to_o be_v better_a than_o a_o ass_n or_o a_o block_n be_v either_o a_o madman_n or_o a_o fool_n and_o consequent_o unworthy_a to_o be_v discourse_v with_o any_o further_o now_o if_o there_o be_v something_o better_a than_o another_o there_o be_v something_o the_o best_a of_o all_o thing_n for_o one_o thing_n be_v better_a than_o another_o because_o it_o come_v near_a that_o which_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o how_o can_v it_o come_v near_o that_o which_o be_v not_o it_o be_v a_o

which_o be_v the_o best_a a_o duke_n be_v better_a in_o dignity_n than_o a_o earl_n because_o he_o come_v near_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o best_a man_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o dignity_n so_o

in_o what_o manner_n god_n will_v be_v worship_v by_o we_o and_o in_o what_o matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o we_o there_o must_v be_v some_o true_a religion_n for_o by_o a_o true_a religion_n we_o understand_v according_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n thereof_o a_o doctrine_n that_o teach_v man_n in_o what_o manner_n god_n will_v be_v worship_v by_o they_o and_o in_o what_o matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o they_o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o true_a god_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v there_o be_v some_o true_a religion_n iii_o if_o there_o be_v some_o true_a

will_v be_v worship_v by_o we_o and_o in_o what_o matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o we_o for_o this_o be_v the_o notion_n of_o a_o true_a religion_n as_o we_o have_v see_v if_o there_o be_v some_o such_o doctrine_n it_o must_v be_v reveal_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n for_o how_o can_v we_o know_v god_n will_v unless_o he_o reveal_v it_o unto_o we_o either_o immediate_o by_o himself_o or_o mediate_o by_o other_o commission_v by_o he_o natural_a religion_n or_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n teach_v we_o only_o in_o general_n that_o we_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v by_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o in_o what_o matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o we_o but_o it_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o as_o be_v manifest_a the_o particular_a manner_n wherewith_o he_o require_v we_o will_v worship_v he_o nor_o the_o particular_a matter_n wherein_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v obey_v he_o which_o doubtless_o may_v be_v very_o different_a and_o of_o what_o concern_n be_v it_o that_o we_o know_v we_o be_v to_o worship_n and_o obey_v god_n if_o we_o neither_o know_v how_o we_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o nor_o in_o what_o we_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o yea_o shall_v god_n be_v please_v to_o leave_v to_o every_o one_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o manner_n wherein_o he_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o yet_o since_o this_o will_v certain_o be_v a_o very_a particular_a manner_n of_o worship_n not_o intimate_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n god_n must_v reveal_v it_o god_n therefore_o must_v reveal_v unto_o we_o in_o what_o particular_a manner_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v by_o we_o and_o in_o what_o particular_a matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o we_o and_o if_o so_o then_o there_o be_v some_o true_a reveal_v religion_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o doctrine_n teach_v man_n in_o what_o particular_a manner_n god_n will_v be_v worship_v by_o they_o and_o in_o what_o particular_a matter_n he_o will_v be_v obey_v by_o they_o reveal_v by_o god_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o there_o be_v some_o true_a religion_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v there_o be_v some_o true_a reveal_v religion_n iv_o if_o there_o be_v some_o true_a reveal_v religion_n i_o prove_v that_o christian_a religion_n be_v true_a for_o if_o there_o be_v some_o true_a reveal_v religion_n certain_o that_o among_o all_o religion_n that_o pretend_v to_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n must_v be_v true_a which_o can_v evident_o show_v that_o it_o have_v be_v miraculous_o propagate_v for_o a_o miraculous_a propagation_n can_v

wrought_v and_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o divine_a revelation_n because_o god_n can_v speak_v as_o well_o by_o work_n as_o by_o word_n all_o professor_n of_o reveal_v

religion_n either_o pretend_v to_o produce_v true_a and_o real_a miracle_n in_o confirmation_n of_o their_o respective_a religion_n or_o at_o least_o will_v be_v glad_a if_o they_o can_v produce_v they_o yea_o even_a atheist_n open_o profess_v that_o can_v they_o be_v convince_v of_o a_o true_a and_o real_a miracle_n do_v in_o confirmation_n of_o a_o truth_n they_o shall_v think_v themselves_o
