and_o why_o not_o certainty_n as_o well_o as_o assurance_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n but_o that_o you_o have_v appropriate_v certainty_n to_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o idea_n in_o any_o proposition_n and_o now_o you_o find_v this_o will_v not_o hold_v as_o to_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o you_o will_v allow_v no_o certainty_n of_o faith_n which_o i_o think_v be_v not_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o your_o cause_n but_o you_o go_v on_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o this_o way_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n do_v not_o hold_v yet_o it_o can_v affect_v matter_n of_o faith_n which_o stand_v immovable_a upon_o other_o ground_n faith_n in_o your_o own_o word_n stand_v still_o upon_o its_o own_o basis_n and_o every_o article_n of_o

have_v thorough_o examine_v it_o here_o we_o see_v faith_n be_v take_v not_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o general_a ground_n of_o certainty_n but_o to_o the_o particular_a article_n of_o faith_n i._n e._n the_o proposition_n contain_v in_o that_o revelation_n which_o we_o embrace_v on_o the_o account_n of_o its_o divine_a authority_n now_o these_o proposition_n be_v of_o several_a kind_n 1._o some_o that_o be_v more_o clear_o express_v therein_o but_o such_o as_o may_v be_v attain_v to_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n without_o revelation_n and_o such_o be_v the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n viz._n the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o providence_n and_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n of_o a_o future_a state_n these_o mankind_n may_v attain_v to_o a_o certainty_n in_o without_o revelation_n or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o natural_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n but_o these_o thing_n be_v more_o full_o and_o plain_o reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n let_v we_o now_o suppose_v a_o person_n by_o natural_a reason_n to_o attain_v to_o a_o certainty_n as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o

the_o way_n of_o idea_n in_o these_o case_n will_v not_o do_v for_o no_o idea_n prove_v the_o existence_n of_o the_o thing_n without_o itself_o 131._o no_o more_o than_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o man_n prove_v his_o be_v or_o the_o vision_n of_o a_o dream_n make_v a_o true_a history_n which_o be_v your_o own_o expression_n and_o for_o the_o soul_n he_o can_v be_v certain_a but_o that_o matter_n may_v think_v as_o you_o affirm_v and_o than_o what_o become_v of_o the_o soul_n immateriality_n and_o consequent_o immortality_n from_o its_o operation_n but_o for_o all_o this_o say_v you_o his_o assurance_n of_o faith_n remain_v firm_a on_o its_o own_o basis._n now_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n of_o sense_n whether_o the_o find_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o his_o own_o principle_n which_o he_o go_v upon_o in_o point_n of_o reason_n do_v not_o weaken_v the_o credibility_n of_o these_o fundamental_a article_n when_o they_o be_v consider_v pure_o as_o matter_n of_o faith_n for_o before_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a credibility_n in_o they_o on_o the_o account_n of_o reason_n but_o by_o go_v on_o wrong_a ground_n of_o certainty_n all_o that_o be_v lose_v and_o instead_o of_o be_v certain_a he_o be_v more_o doubtful_a than_o ever_o and_o if_o the_o evidence_n of_o faith_n fall_v so_o much_o short_a of_o that_o of_o reason_n it_o must_v needs_o have_v less_o effect_n upon_o man_n mind_n when_o the_o subserviency_n of_o reason_n be_v take_v away_o as_o it_o must_v be_v when_o the_o ground_n of_o certainty_n by_o reason_n be_v vanish_v be_v it_o at_o all_o probable_a that_o he_o who_o find_v his_o reason_n deceive_v he_o in_o such_o fundamental_a point_n shall_v have_v his_o faith_n stand_v firm_a and_o unmoveable_a on_o the_o account_n of_o revelation_n for_o in_o matter_n of_o revelation_n there_o must_v be_v some_o antecedent_n principle_n suppose_v before_o we_o can_v believe_v any_o thing_n on_o the_o account_n of_o it_o and_o the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o this_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n he_o find_v himself_o at_o a_o loss_n in_o by_o his_o way_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n and_o how_o can_v his_o faith_n stand_v firm_a as_o to_o divine_a revelation_n when_o he_o be_v make_v uncertain_a by_o his_o own_o way_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no_o beside_o to_o suppose_v divine_a revelation_n we_o must_v be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o principle_n above_o matter_n and_o motion_n in_o the_o world_n but_o here_o we_o find_v that_o upon_o the_o principle_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n he_o can_v be_v certain_a of_o this_o because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v but_o matter_n may_v think_v and_o consequent_o all_o revelation_n may_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o exalt_v fancy_n or_o the_o heat_n of_o a_o disorder_a imagination_n as_o spinoza_n affirm_v again_o before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o assurance_n of_o faith_n upon_o divine_a revelation_n there_o must_v be_v a_o certainty_n as_o to_o sense_n and_o tradition_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o revelation_n pretend_v now_o without_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o the_o basis_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v a_o

your_o ground_n of_o certainty_n can_v give_v we_o no_o assurance_n as_o to_o these_o thing_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o they_o can_v demonstrate_v matter_n of_o fact_n which_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a to_o expect_v but_o that_o these_o ground_n of_o certainty_n make_v all_o thing_n uncertain_a 131._o for_o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o this_o way_n of_o idea_n can_v give_v a_o satisfactory_a account_n as_o to_o the_o existence_n of_o the_o plain_a object_n of_o sense_n because_o reason_n can_v perceive_v the_o connexion_n between_o the_o object_n and_o the_o idea_n how_o then_o can_v we_o arrive_v to_o any_o certainty_n in_o perceive_v those_o object_n by_o their_o idea_n and_o i_o be_v in_o the_o right_n when_o i_o say_v this_o way_n tend_v to_o scepticism_n and_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o consistent_a with_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n but_o this_o be_v a_o imputation_n you_o take_v very_o ill_a 170._o and_o say_v that_o i_o have_v bring_v no_o

be_v very_o strange_a when_o that_o expression_n be_v only_o the_o introduction_n to_o the_o argument_n from_o p._n 125_o to_o 132_o to_o which_o no_o answer_n at_o all_o be_v give_v and_o so_o i_o leave_v it_o there_o be_v other_o proposition_n or_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o whole_o depend_v on_o the_o sense_n of_o word_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n 2._o and_o we_o be_v to_o inquire_v whether_o the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n as_o you_o call_v it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o overthrow_v your_o ground_n of_o certainty_n i._n e._n whether_o those_o who_o embrace_v the_o article_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o way_n of_o idea_n can_v retain_v their_o certainty_n of_o those_o article_n when_o these_o idea_n be_v quit_v and_o this_o alone_o will_v be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n in_o the_o case_n that_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n can_v stand_v with_o such_o man_n if_o this_o way_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n be_v destroy_v and_o by_o this_o which_o i_o be_o now_o to_o make_v

not_o the_o point_n whether_o when_o we_o consider_v they_o with_o respect_n to_o place_n there_o can_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o identity_n of_o place_n to_o two_o different_a body_n but_o whether_o we_o can_v consider_v two_o several_a individual_n of_o mankind_n without_o particular_a regard_n to_o place_n which_o i_o say_v we_o may_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o relation_n to_o place_n be_v a_o external_a difference_n but_o the_o real_a distinction_n of_o individual_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o any_o accident_n of_o the_o body_n because_o the_o individual_a consist_v of_o the_o union_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o you_o can_v judge_v of_o the_o existence_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o place_n of_o the_o body_n you_o say_v that_o when_o we_o see_v any_o thing_n to_o

your_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o pass_v over_o the_o trifle_a exception_n 155._o about_o the_o dissyllable_n person_n and_o the_o true_a idea_n and_o signification_n of_o the_o articulate_a sound_n

in_o the_o true_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n person_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n and_o whoever_o desire_v you_o shall_v for_o i_o express_o say_v that_o a_o person_n be_v a_o complete_a

the_o proper_a definition_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o afterward_o i_o make_v it_o to_o be_v the_o definition_n of_o a_o person_n that_o it_o be_v a_o complete_a intelligent_a substance_n to_o this_o i_o

the_o common_a acception_n of_o it_o person_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n i_o call_v it_o a_o complete_a intelligent_a substance_n because_o although_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o in_o itself_o yet_o we_o take_v person_n with_o relation_n to_o soul_n and_o body_n unite_v together_o and_o so_o the_o identity_n of_o person_n must_v take_v in_o both_o not_o only_o here_o but_o at_o the_o
