i_o have_v take_v as_o much_o notice_n of_o they_o as_o i_o think_v necessary_a in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n and_o therefore_o leave_v the_o excepter_n now_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o all_o together_o i_o omit_v one_o objection_n p._n 311._o concern_v the_o shut_n up_o of_o the_o abyss_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o abyss_n because_o it_o be_v answer_v before_o in_o the_o english_a theory_n p._n 104._o namely_o there_o be_v fountain_n in_o the_o abyss_n as_o much_o as_o window_n in_o heaven_n and_o those_o be_v shut_v up_o as_o well_o as_o these_o that_o be_v cease_v to_o act_n and_o be_v put_v into_o a_o condition_n to_o continue_v the_o deluge_n no_o long_o chap._n xvii_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o chapter_n against_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o theory_n but_o the_o author_n be_v blame_v for_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v true_a i_o think_v he_o have_v be_v more_o blame-worthy_a if_o he_o have_v trouble_v the_o world_n with_o a_o theory_n which_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a and_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o compose_v what_o he_o think_v himself_o no_o better_a than_o a_o romance_n as_o to_o what_o the_o theorist_n have_v say_v in_o reference_n to_o his_o assurance_n or_o belief_n of_o the_o theory_n which_o the_o excepter_n call_v positiveness_n upon_o examination_n i_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n amiss_o in_o his_o conduct_n as_o to_o that_o particular_a for_o first_o he_o impose_v his_o sentiment_n upon_o no_o man_n he_o leave_v every_o one_o their_o full_a liberty_n of_o dissent_v preface_n to_o the_o reader_n at_o the_o end_n last_o in_o thing_n pure_o speculative_a as_o these_o be_v and_o no_o ingredient_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v free_a to_o differ_v from_o one_o another_o in_o our_o opinion_n and_o sentiment_n and_o so_o i_o remember_v s._n austin_n have_v observe_v upon_o this_o very_a subject_n of_o paradise_n wherefore_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o give_v no_o offence_n ourselves_o so_o neither_o shall_v we_o take_v any_o at_o the_o difference_n of_o judgement_n in_o other_o provide_v this_o liberty_n be_v mutual_a and_o that_o we_o all_o agree_v to_o study_v peace_n truth_n and_o a_o good_a life_n and_o as_o the_o theorist_n impose_v his_o sentiment_n upon_o no_o man_n so_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o certainty_n he_o distinguish_v always_o betwixt_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o theory_n and_o particularity_n so_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o first_o book_n 150._o this_o profession_n be_v make_v i_o mean_v this_o only_a speak_v about_o certainty_n as_o to_o the_o general_a part_n of_o the_o theory_n for_o as_o to_o particularity_n i_o look_v upon_o they_o only_o as_o problematical_a and_o according_o i_o affirm_v nothing_o therein_o but_o with_o a_o power_n of_o revocation_n and_o a_o liberty_n to_o change_v my_o opinion_n when_o i_o shall_v be_v better_o inform_v and_o according_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n i_o know_v how_o subject_a we_o be_v to_o mistake_n 96._o in_o these_o great_a and_o remote_a thing_n when_o we_o descend_v to_o particularity_n but_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o expose_v the_o theory_n to_o a_o full_a trial_n and_o to_o show_v the_o way_n for_o any_o to_o examine_v it_o provide_v they_o do_v it_o with_o equity_n and_o sincerity_n i_o have_v no_o other_o design_n than_o to_o contribute_v my_o endeavour_n to_o find_v out_o truth_n etc._n etc._n last_o to_o cite_v no_o more_o place_n he_o say_v 288._o there_o be_v many_o particular_a explication_n that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v with_o more_o liberty_n and_o latitude_n and_o may_v perhaps_o upon_o better_a thought_n and_o better_a observation_n be_v correct_v etc._n etc._n the_o theorist_n have_v thus_o state_v and_o bound_v his_o belief_n or_o assurance_n and_o give_v liberty_n of_o dissent_v to_o all_o other_o according_a to_o their_o particular_a judgement_n or_o inclination_n i_o see_v nothing_o unfair_a or_o undecent_a in_o this_o conduct_n how_o can_v the_o observator_fw-la have_v make_v it_o more_o unexceptionable_a will_v he_o have_v have_v the_o theorist_n to_o have_v profess_a scepticism_n and_o declare_v that_o he_o believe_v his_o own_o theory_n no_o more_o than_o a_o romance_n or_o fantastical_a idea_n that_o have_v be_v both_o to_o bely_v his_o own_o conscience_n and_o to_o mock_v the_o world_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v hear_v a_o good_a author_n once_o wish_v that_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o whoever_o print_v a_o book_n shall_v when_o he_o take_v a_o licence_n swear_v that_o he_o think_v the_o content_n of_o his_o book_n to_o be_v true_a as_o to_o substance_n and_o i_o think_v such_o a_o method_n will_v keep_v off_o a_o great_a many_o impertinency_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o trouble_v the_o world_n with_o our_o rove_a thought_n mere_o out_o of_o a_o itch_n of_o scripturiency_n when_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v ourselves_o what_o we_o write_v i_o must_v always_o profess_v my_o assent_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o that_o theory_n and_o be_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o it_o by_o the_o weakness_n and_o inefficacy_n of_o these_o exception_n we_o need_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o particular_a citation_n he_o make_v use_v of_o to_o prove_v this_o positiveness_n of_o the_o theorist_n for_o they_o only_o affirm_v what_o we_o still_o own_o that_o the_o theory_n be_v more_o than_o a_o idea_n or_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o imaginary_a idea_n or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o reality_n and_o together_o with_o its_o proof_n from_o scripture_n especial_o from_o s._n peter_n have_v more_o than_o the_o certainty_n of_o a_o bare_a hypothesis_n or_o a_o moral_a certainty_n these_o be_v the_o expression_n he_o cite_v and_o we_o own_o all_o that_o in_o fair_a construction_n they_o amount_v to_o and_o find_v no_o reason_n either_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o from_o his_o objection_n to_o change_v our_o opinion_n or_o make_v any_o apology_n for_o too_o much_o positiveness_n i_o wish_v the_o excepter_n have_v not_o more_o to_o answer_v for_o as_o to_o his_o partiality_n than_o the_o theorist_n have_v for_o his_o positiveness_n and_o now_o that_o we_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o observe_v how_o well_o the_o excepter_n have_v answer_v that_o character_n which_o he_o give_v himself_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o work_n these_o be_v his_o word_n 43._o this_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o do_v namely_o to_o examine_v the_o theory_n with_o all_o sincerity_n and_o that_o only_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o servant_n to_o truth_n and_o therefore_o with_o such_o candour_n meekness_n and_o modesty_n as_o become_v one_o who_o assume_v and_o glory_n in_o so_o fair_a a_o character_n and_o also_o with_o such_o respect_n to_o the_o virtuoso_fw-la who_o write_v the_o theory_n as_o may_v testify_v to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o esteem_v his_o learning_n while_o i_o question_v his_o opinion_n it_o be_v of_o little_a consequence_n what_o opinion_n he_o have_v of_o the_o virtuoso_fw-la as_o he_o call_v he_o but_o let_v we_o see_v with_o what_o sincerity_n and_o meekness_n he_o have_v examine_v his_o work_n as_o to_o his_o sincerity_n we_o have_v give_v you_o some_o proof_n of_o it_o before_o p._n 26._o both_o in_o his_o defective_a and_o partial_a citation_n and_o also_o in_o his_o never_o take_a notice_n of_o the_o last_o edition_n of_o the_o theory_n where_o several_a citation_n he_o have_v make_v use_n of_o be_v not_o extant_a now_o by_o his_o own_o rule_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v regard_n to_o this_o for_o he_o say_v p._n 356._o he_o will_v there_o take_v notice_n only_o of_o the_o english_a edition_n as_o come_v out_o after_o the_o other_o and_o so_o with_o more_o deliberation_n and_o mature_a thought_n of_o thing_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n say_v i_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o last_o edition_n of_o the_o theory_n as_o be_v the_o last_o product_n and_o the_o most_o deliberate_a and_o mature_a thought_n of_o the_o author_n but_o this_o it_o seem_v be_v not_o for_o his_o purpose_n so_o much_o for_o his_o sincerity_n now_o for_o his_o meekness_n so_o impatient_a he_o be_v to_o fall_v upon_o his_o adversary_n that_o he_o begin_v his_o charge_n in_o the_o preface_n and_o a_o very_a fierce_a one_o it_o be_v p._n iii._o the_o theorist_n have_v assault_v religion_n and_o that_o in_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o it_o here_o i_o expect_v to_o have_v find_v two_o or_o three_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n assault_v or_o knock_v down_o by_o the_o theory_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o case_n it_o seem_v he_o understand_v something_o more_o general_a namely_o our_o contradict_a scripture_n for_o so_o he_o explain_v himself_o in_o the_o next_o page_n in_o several_a thing_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o our_o discourse_n it_o contradict_v scripture_n and_o by_o too_o positive_a assert_v the_o truth_n
