paragraph_n seem_v so_o much_o to_o respect_n his_o first_o exception_n in_o this_o paragraph_n i●_n at_o our_o incapacity_n for_o he_o say_v we_o have_v never_o be_v able_a yet_o that_o he_o can_v

by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o man._n but_o that_o a_o bishop_n ●hould_v represent_v this_o a_o unintelligible_a doctrine_n after_o read_v so_o distinct_a and_o plain_a a_o account_n of_o it_o

in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o not_o of_o their_o body_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o interpretation_n shall_v be_v true_a in_o a_o strict_a sense_n for_o the_o

be_v viz._n the_o light_n of_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o call_v himself_o john_n 8._o 12._o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o so_o than_o every_o man_n light_n the_o light_n of_o every_o mind_n and_o understanding_n and_o consequent_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o too_o hard_o it_o seem_v for_o the_o bishop_n to_o comprehend_v and_o yet_o so_o very_o easy_a to_o the_o mean_a capacity_n that_o observe_v the_o discovery_n and_o conviction_n of_o it_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n but_o since_o it_o be_v as_o he_o right_o term_v it_o a_o fundamental_a with_o we_o we_o will_v follow_v the_o bishop_n in_o his_o inquiry_n a_o little_a further_o we_o say_v first_o then_o it_o be_v not_o the_o natural_a rational_a faculty_n of_o man_n for_o than_o it_o will_v be_v man_n or_o a_o part_n of_o his_o composition_n mere_o as_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o but_o a_o manifestation_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n of_o christ_n the_o word-god_n the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n the_o quicken_a spirit_n who_o be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o truth_n and_o of_o who_o man_n have_v receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n to_o

bless_a maker_n again_o in_o short_a our_o natural_a rational_a faculty_n be_v our_o sight_n but_o not_o our_o light●_n that_o by_o which_o we_o discern_v and_o judge_v wha●_n the_o divine_a light_n

that_o a_o external_n light_n as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n make_v to_o the_o eye_n but_o be_v not_o that_o light_n itself_o so_o do_v the_o rational_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n see_v

as_o for_o the_o bishop_n innate_a notion_n and_o natural_a conscience_n if_o by_o they_o he_o mean_v impression_n or_o principle_n which_o be_v bear_v and_o come_v with_o we_o into_o the_o world_n viz._n the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n i_o must_v tell_v he_o first_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o language_n of_o the_o law_n and_o testimony_n he_o refer_v we_o to_o in_o the_o same_o paragraph_n and_o next_o that_o as_o the_o work_n be_v not_o the_o workman_n so_o they_o be_v not_o proper_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o bless_a fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n the_o word-god_n in_o man_n which_o shine_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o give_v he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o duty_n to_o he_o so_o that_o the_o innate_a

so_o the_o bishop_n natural_a conscience_n must_v only_o mean_v a_o capacity_n that_o man_n have_v by_o nature_n that_o be_v in_o his_o creation_n of_o make_v judgement_n of_o himself_o his_o duty_n and_o action_n according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n manifest_v to_o he_o by_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n within_o not_o that_o such_o a_o capacity_n be_v that_o light_n but_o that_o it_o see_v or_o understand_v by_o the_o inshining_a of_o the_o divine_a light_n the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o man_n duty_n and_o peace_n nor_o be_v it_o conscience_n illuminate_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thereon_o which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o the_o bishop_n construction_n but_o that_o very_a principle_n of_o life_n &_o light_n

which_o open_v their_o heart_n to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n when_o preach_v unto_o they_o in_o short_a this_o excellent_a principle_n be_v in_o man_n but_o not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o
