nature_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o not_o be_v what_o it_o be_v together_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o a_o divine_a revelation_n can_v contradict_v the_o common_a sense_n and_o reason_n of_o mankind_n for_o that_o will_v be_v to_o pronouce_v they_o false_a witness_n of_o god_n when_o by_o these_o alone_o we_o know_v that_o

in_o vain_a to_o talk_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n till_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n who_o word_n this_o revelation_n be_v in_o short_a if_o any_o suppose_a revelation_n shall_v contradict_v the_o plain_a principle_n of_o reason_n it_o will_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n or_o rather_o worse_a than_o if_o that_o revelation_n shall_v contradict_v itself_o for_o if_o a_o revelation_n shall_v contradict_v itself_o we_o can_v not_o indeed_o receive_v it_o upon_o those_o term_n because_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o disbelieve_v it_o at_o once_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v not_o believe_v it_o at_o all_o but_o if_o this_o revelation_n shall_v contradict_v the_o plain_a principle_n of_o reason_n than_o it_o will_v overthrow_v that_o understanding_n which_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o receive_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v renounce_v our_o reason_n to_o believe_v such_o a_o revelation_n we_o must_v

revelation_n come_v from_o god_n till_o our_o reason_n have_v make_v it_o out_o to_o we_o that_o it_o do_v and_o therefore_o to_o abandon_v our_o reason_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o any_o revelation_n be_v to_o make_v ourselves_o sure_a of_o the_o thing_n prove_v than_o of_o the_o proof_n itself_o which_o be_v very_o absurd_a for_o that_o which_o make_v we_o certain_a of_o another_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v first_o and_o best_a know_v to_o we_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v put_v such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o for_o it_o be_v a_o impossible_a case_n but_o that_o the_o papist_n themselves_o have_v put_v it_o and_o have_v decide_v it_o the_o wrong_a way_n and_o have_v make_v axiom_n and_o self-evident_a principle_n out_o of_o the_o false_a determination_n of_o it_o so_o cartes_n conclude_v his_o first_o book_n of_o principle_n that_o we_o must_v fix_v this_o in_o our_o mind_n as_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a rule_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o god_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v as_o the_o most_o certain_a of_o all_o other_o and_o although_o perchance_o the_o most_o clear_a and_o evident_a light_n of_o reason_n that_o can_v be_v shall_v seem_v to_o
