that_o it_o be_v say_v through_o he_o to_o wit_n john_n and_o not_o through_o christ_n simple_o as_o he_o enlighten_v they_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o suppose_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v so_o through_o john_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o in_o the_o jest_n prove_v that_o this_o enlighten_v of_o all_o man_n be_v only_o natural_a whereof_o i_o give_v this_o most_o evident_a reason_n because_o by_o the_o most_o powerful_a natural_a enlighten_v and_o john_n both_o neither_o all_o nor_o any_o man_n be_v put_v into_o a_o condition_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v for_o no_o ministry_n of_o the_o best_a of_o man_n with_o a_o bare_a natural_a enlighten_v concur_v be_v sufficient_a to_o put_v man_n into_o a_o condition_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v but_o second_o for_o they_o to_o say_v

of_o christ_n through_o who_o all_o may_v believe_v without_o john_n but_o to_o understand_v it_o of_o john_n will_v imply_v as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o universal_a instrument_n so_o as_o none_o can_v

to_o the_o contrary_n the_o word_n then_o all_o and_o every_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o every_o particular_a because_o no_o cogent_a reason_n mous_a to_o the_o contrary_n it_o be_v true_a our_o

be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n in_o man_n answer_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v faith_n unto_o all_o man_n there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n some_o measure_n of_o illumination_n by_o which_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receiv_v it_o now_o john_n say_v further_a he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o
