conclusion_n and_o can_v such_o a_o argumentation_n deceive_v we_o can_v have_v little_a encouragement_n to_o believe_v any_o thing_n upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o faculty_n again_o if_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o some_o early_a revelation_n make_v to_o man_n when_o they_o be_v yet_o few_o in_o number_n and_o retain_v in_o the_o dispersion_n of_o nation_n and_o still_o preserve_v notwithstanding_o the_o gross_a ignorance_n they_o fall_v into_o as_o to_o other_o matter_n this_o must_v be_v a_o great_a evidence_n of_o the_o clearness_n and_o evidence_n of_o that_o revelation_n at_o first_o and_o must_v consequent_o much_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o the_o rational_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n of_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v may_v have_v be_v confirm_v to_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o world_n by_o some_o divine_a revelation_n which_o be_v communicate_v to_o all_o and_o thence_o derive_v and_o propagate_v through_o all_o the_o several_a religion_n and_o superstition_n which_o afterward_o be_v entertain_v by_o the_o heathen_a world_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o noah_n understand_v this_o truth_n and_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o instruct_v his_o family_n which_o be_v all_o humane_a soul_n that_o be_v leave_v alive_a in_o so_o necessary_a a_o matter_n which_o may_v have_v so_o great_a influence_n upon_o they_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n who_o have_v so_o late_o deliver_v they_o from_o so_o universal_a a_o destruction_n nay_o there_o be_v still_o extant_a the_o remainder_n of_o a_o prophecy_n concern_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v much_o ancient_a than_o the_o flood_n this_o we_o find_v cite_v by_o saint_n judas_n 14._o and_o enoch_n also_o the_o seven_o from_o adam_n prophesy_v say_v behold_v the_o lord_n come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o his_o saint_n to_o execute_v judgement_n upon_o all_o and_o to_o convince_v all_o that_o be_v ungodly_a of_o all_o their_o ungodly_a deed_n which_o they_o have_v ungodly_a commit_v and_o of_o all_o their_o hard_a speech_n which_o ungodly_a sinner_n have_v speak_v against_o he_o and_o this_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o last_o and_o most_o undeniable_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n 4._o the_o particular_a revelation_n of_o it_o in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o the_o testimony_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v be_v so_o frequent_a in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o apostle_n that_o it_o be_v altogether_o needless_a to_o recite_v they_o to_o you_o every_o one_o that_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n must_v understand_v that_o be_v one_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o christian_a profession_n nothing_o more_o plain_o reveal_v nothing_o more_o frequent_o inculcate_v than_o that_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n i_o proceed_v therefore_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v the_o method_n of_o proceed_v at_o that_o day_n every_o one_o shall_v receive_v the_o thing_n do_v in_o his_o body_n according_a to_o that_o he_o have_v do_v whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a that_o the_o good_a or_o evil_n of_o man_n action_n in_o this_o life_n be_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_n according_a to_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o great_a day_n that_o they_o who_o have_v do_v good_a shall_v receive_v the_o good_a they_o have_v do_v and_o they_o who_o have_v do_v evil_a shall_v receive_v according_a to_o that_o likewise_o be_v a_o truth_n so_o full_o and_o plain_o teach_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o one_o will_v think_v man_n can_v not_o easy_o mistake_v or_o deceive_v themselves_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o 1._o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o no_o other_o way_n of_o proceed_v can_v be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o purity_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o righteous_a god_n love_v righteousness_n and_o his_o countenance_n will_v behold_v the_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v just_a and_o he_o be_v of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v iniquity_n the_o righteous_a therefore_o and_o they_o only_o can_v be_v capable_a of_o reward_n from_o he_o when_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o wicked_a and_o unrighteous_a and_o they_o only_o must_v be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n to_o do_v otherwise_o than_o so_o and_o to_o invert_v this_o method_n will_v be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o all_o the_o divine_a attribute_n and_o to_o all_o the_o method_n whereby_o god_n have_v make_v himself_o know_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n say_v thus_o to_o the_o almighty_a wisd_v xij_o 15._o for_o as_o much_o as_o thou_o be_v righteous_a thyself_o thou_o ordere_v all_o thing_n righteous_o think_v it_o not_o agreeable_a to_o thy_o power_n to_o condemn_v he_o who_o have_v not_o deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v to_o which_o we_o may_v also_o add_v that_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o his_o purity_n and_o justice_n to_o reward_v the_o unrighteous_a and_o disobedient_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o in_o all_o the_o method_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o have_v all_o along_o declare_v the_o great_a abhorrence_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o the_o great_a severity_n against_o those_o that_o continue_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o it_o it_o be_v sin_n only_o that_o bring_v misery_n and_o death_n into_o the_o world_n for_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o when_o god_n be_v please_v out_o of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o compassion_n to_o contrive_v the_o way_n of_o our_o recovery_n and_o to_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n for_o our_o redemption_n he_o will_v not_o admit_v we_o to_o term_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n without_o the_o great_a demonstration_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o severity_n against_o sin_n and_o that_o in_o the_o suffering_n of_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n for_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n he_o bear_v our_o grief_n and_o carry_v our_o sorrow_n he_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n he_o be_v bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n by_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v now_o we_o be_v not_o to_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o our_o saviour_n suffering_n in_o our_o stead_n can_v be_v available_a to_o we_o or_o free_v we_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n while_o we_o continue_v in_o they_o for_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o that_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n may_v live_v unto_o righteousness_n that_o so_o be_v save_v from_o our_o sin_n here_o we_o may_v be_v save_v from_o the_o wage_n of_o they_o hereafter_o and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v salvation_n no_o otherwise_o than_o by_o teach_v we_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v righteous_o sober_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n thus_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o his_o deal_n with_o mankind_n we_o can_v but_o expect_v that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n he_o will_v judge_v according_a to_o righteousness_n they_o who_o have_v do_v good_a shall_v be_v reward_v by_o he_o and_o they_o who_o have_v do_v evil_a shall_v receive_v a_o due_a recompense_n of_o their_o evil_a deed_n 2._o this_o be_v further_a evident_a from_o the_o several_a promise_n and_o threaten_n in_o scripture_n which_o be_v all_o along_o make_v use_n of_o as_o argument_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o to_o discourage_v and_o dissuade_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n which_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o do_v if_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v due_a to_o any_o but_o upon_o condition_n of_o their_o obedience_n or_o if_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v can_v be_v avoid_v any_o otherwise_o than_o by_o forsake_v those_o sin_n to_o which_o it_o be_v threaten_v thus_o saint_n paul_n argue_v from_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2_o cor._n seven_o 1._o have_v therefore_o these_o promise_n dear_o belove_v let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n thus_o again_o s._n peter_n i_o 4._o tell_v that_o by_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n that_o by_o these_o you_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n have_v escape_v the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n and_o beside_o this_o give_v all_o

and_o true_a etc._n etc._n such_o also_o be_v the_o general_a notion_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n which_o god_n have_v plant_v in_o every_o man_n soul_n which_o have_v so_o evident_a a_o obligation_n that_o no_o pretend_a demonstration_n in_o the_o world_n ought_v to_o shake_v our_o belief_n of_o they_o but_o there_o be_v other_o opinion_n which_o man_n take_v up_o upon_o lesser_a evidence_n which_o they_o be_v sometime_o as_o tenacious_a of_o as_o of_o those_o first_o fundamental_a principle_n and_o these_o sort_n of_o prejudices_fw-la be_v common_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o propagation_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o sect_n in_o religion_n which_o have_v not_o some_o peculiar_a tenet_n which_o they_o take_v up_o upon_o weak_a and_o incompetent_a ground_n in_o proportion_n to_o which_o they_o judge_v of_o all_o other_o doctrine_n and_o make_v they_o the_o rule_n and_o measure_n according_a to_o which_o all_o place_n of_o scripture_n must_v be_v interpret_v now_o in_o regard_n we_o all_o confess_v ourselves_o liable_a to_o infirmity_n and_o mistake_n it_o be_v certain_o the_o most_o equitable_a and_o reasonable_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o inquire_v after_o truth_n we_o resolve_v with_o ourselves_o always_o to_o submit_v to_o clear_a evidence_n though_o we_o have_v be_v otherwise_o persuade_v now_o that_o the_o want_n of_o this_o temper_n be_v a_o very_a great_a hindrance_n both_o to_o the_o receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o to_o our_o understanding_n it_o aright_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v by_o two_o notorious_a instance_n of_o the_o power_n of_o prejudice_n in_o either_o of_o these_o case_n the_o first_o instance_n shall_v be_v that_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o our_o saviour_n day_n the_o great_a opposition_n which_o our_o saviour_n meet_v withal_o among_o the_o jew_n the_o great_a reason_n why_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o for_o their_o messiah_n be_v ground_v upon_o this_o prejudice_n that_o they_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o their_o long_o expect_a messiah_n be_v to_o have_v be_v a_o temporal_a prince_n and_o to_o have_v appear_v with_o worldly_a pomp_n and_o splendour_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v deliver_v they_o from_o the_o roman_a yoke_n and_o have_v reign_v glorious_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o see_v he_o appear_v in_o so_o mean_a and_o despicable_a a_o condition_n not_o all_o the_o demonstration_n of_o a_o divine_a authority_n accompany_v he_o in_o all_o his_o mighty_a work_n not_o the_o great_a wisdom_n with_o which_o he_o speak_v not_o the_o most_o divine_a and_o excellent_a precept_n he_o give_v not_o all_o the_o prediction_n of_o their_o prophet_n fulfil_v by_o he_o not_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n though_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o as_o great_a evidence_n as_o they_o can_v have_v require_v yet_o none_o of_o they_o can_v prevail_v with_o they_o against_o that_o one_o prejudice_n that_o his_o power_n be_v to_o be_v temporal_a and_o that_o he_o shall_v restore_v the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o state_n of_o suffering_n in_o which_o our_o saviour_n appear_v now_o that_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v take_v up_o upon_o insufficient_a ground_n be_v evident_a from_o hence_o because_o though_o there_o be_v glorious_a thing_n speak_v of_o the_o messiah_n yet_o his_o suffering_n also_o be_v foretell_v by_o the_o same_o prophet_n in_o as_o plain_a word_n as_o the_o other_o nay_o it_o be_v express_o say_v by_o isaiah_n that_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o the_o messiah_n be_v to_o be_v consequent_a upon_o his_o suffering_n as_o a_o reward_n of_o they_o and_o the_o jew_n themselves_o have_v be_v so_o far_o sensible_a of_o the_o force_n of_o those_o prediction_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v suffer_v that_o to_o salve_v those_o prophecy_n they_o invent_v a_o fable_n concern_v a_o twofold_n messiah_n one_o of_o which_o be_v to_o suffer_v for_o they_o and_o the_o other_o to_o redeem_v they_o and_o to_o reign_v glorious_o over_o they_o though_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n ch_n liij_o v._o 12._o express_o attribute_n both_o to_o the_o same_o person_n make_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o glory_n which_o god_n will_v afterward_o confer_v on_o he_o therefore_o will_v i_o divide_v he_o a_o portion_n with_o the_o great_a and_o he_o shall_v divide_v the_o spoil_n with_o the_o strong_a because_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o his_o soul_n unto_o death_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v strong_o affect_v with_o the_o love_n of_o this_o present_a world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o and_o they_o hope_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o messiah_n they_o shall_v plentiful_o enjoy_v all_o the_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v resolve_v to_o believe_v no_o more_o of_o the_o prophet_n than_o agree_v with_o this_o opinion_n that_o be_v so_o suitable_a to_o their_o inclination_n and_o be_v uncapable_a of_o be_v convince_v by_o the_o most_o powerful_a demonstration_n to_o the_o contrary_a that_o can_v possible_o be_v give_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o great_a the_o power_n of_o this_o one_o prejudice_n be_v to_o hinder_v the_o jew_n from_o receive_v the_o gospel_n at_o first_o nor_o be_v the_o power_n of_o preconceive_a opinion_n and_o prejudices_fw-la less_o dangerous_a to_o hinder_v our_o understanding_n the_o gospel_n when_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o and_o of_o this_o i_o may_v produce_v many_o instance_n in_o the_o several_a dissent_v party_n in_o christendom_n every_o sect_n have_v some_o peculiar_a and_o darling_a notion_n which_o they_o hold_v tenacious_o against_o all_o opposition_n and_o to_o comply_v with_o which_o all_o other_o doctrine_n must_v be_v bow_v and_o wrest_v as_o they_o can_v best_o contrive_v it_o i_o shall_v give_v but_o one_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o infallibility_n as_o it_o be_v maintain_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n this_o be_v the_o lead_a prejudice_n of_o that_o party_n which_o be_v once_o firm_o receive_v it_o become_v the_o mother_n of_o the_o most_o absurd_a and_o contradictious_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o make_v those_o who_o believe_v it_o uncapable_a of_o conviction_n by_o any_o argument_n though_o never_o so_o clear_a and_o cogent_a for_o what_o argument_n can_v possible_o prevail_v with_o those_o who_o resolve_v to_o reject_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o sense_n though_o never_o so_o well_o qualify_v rather_o than_o call_v in_o question_n the_o infallible_a decision_n of_o their_o church_n and_o this_o the_o papist_n plain_o do_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o have_v so_o many_o plain_a absurdity_n in_o it_o and_o be_v so_o clear_o contradict_v by_o our_o several_a sense_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o judge_v in_o that_o matter_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o reason_n of_o their_o obstinate_a defend_n of_o it_o but_o that_o they_o can_v renounce_v the_o doctrine_n without_o quit_v their_o claim_n to_o infallibility_n it_o be_v beside_o my_o present_a business_n to_o consider_v upon_o what_o ground_n they_o

so_o plain_a and_o cogent_a as_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o sense_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v but_o seem_v a_o strange_a way_n of_o argue_v which_o they_o use_v to_o deny_v matter_n of_o fact_n evident_a to_o their_o several_a sense_n to_o maintain_v a_o doctrine_n for_o which_o they_o have_v infinite_o less_o evidence_n than_o that_o they_o reject_v we_o see_v then_o how_o far_o preconceive_a opinion_n and_o prejudices_fw-la may_v prevail_v both_o to_o make_v man_n uncapable_a of_o receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o of_o understand_v it_o right_o when_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o and_o consequent_o how_o much_o this_o simplicity_n of_o mind_n do_v contribute_v to_o our_o success_n in_o the_o inquiry_n we_o make_v after_o divine_a truth_n 2._o the_o second_o branch_n of_o
