A70057	Logos autopistos, or, Scriptures self-evidence to prove its existence, authority, certainty in it [sic] self, and sufficiency (in its kind) to ascertain others that it is inspir'd of God to be the only rule of faith : published as a plea for Protestants in the defence of their profession and intended only for the use and instruction of the vulgar sort.

this_o rule_n do_v i_o consult_v god_n and_o his_o word_n when_o i_o undertake_v such_o a_o business_n be_v the_o way_n i_o be_o now_o in_o answerable_a to_o what_o god_n have_v command_v do_v not_o

it_o be_v a_o great_a vanity_n special_o in_o man_n of_o weak_a part_n and_o small_a gift_n to_o pry_v and_o poor_a much_o as_o some_o will_v do_v upon_o such_o passage_n as_o have_v difficulty_n enough_o in_o they_o to_o pose_v and_o puzzle_v the_o wise_a and_o their_o vanity_n to_o say_v no_o worse_o be_v the_o more_o because_o those_o difficult_a passage_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n nothing_o in_o they_o but_o what_o we_o may_v be_v safe_o ignorant_a of_o and_o yet_o some_o thing_n of_o great_a concernment_n may_v be_v more_o obscure_o in_o some_o place_n deliver_v but_o still_o

any_o shall_v object_v against_o what_o i_o have_v say_v that_o we_o may_v be_v safe_o ignorant_a of_o some_o thing_n declare_v in_o scripture_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o i_o be_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o all_o divine_n in_o the_o world_n who_o hold_v some_o thing_n to_o be_v of_o the_o foundation_n so_o as_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n and_o other_o only_o superstructive_a such_o as_o ignorance_n or_o error_n about_o they_o be_v not_o in_o itself_o damnable_a who_o can_v rational_o suppose_v that_o '_o ●…is_n of_o the_o same_o consequence_n to_o know_v every_o passage_n of_o scripture-history_n as_o to_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justication_n no_o question_n the_o lord_n who_o never_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o vain_a will_v never_o have_v reveal_v and_o record_v any_o the_o small_a matter_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o cause_n but_o thereupon_o it_o will_v never_o follow_v that_o all_o thing_n reveal_v do_v alike_o concern_v we_o to_o instance_n that_o the_o dead_a shall_v rise_v again_o and_o come_v to_o judgement_n be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o a_o fundamental_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o that_o the_o dead_a in_o christ_n shall_v rise_v first_o before_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v

understand_v and_o interpret_v as_o i_o intend_v it_o not_o to_o allow_v or_o countenance_v any_o wilful_a neglect_n or_o affect_a ignorance_n of_o any_o scripture-truths_n but_o only_o to_o salve_v the_o conscience_n of_o such_o as_o can_v after_o all_o their_o most_o careful_a enquiry_n come_v to_o know_v all_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o every_o particular_a as_o scripture_n have_v it_o can_v any_o man_n reasonable_o think_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o mind_n and_o remember_v every_o descent_n in_o all_o the_o genealogy_n as_o we_o be_v to_o have_v in_o mind_n the_o birth_n death_n

of_o most_o concernment_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n often_o repeat_v they_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a mind_n and_o remember_v they_o we_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o

it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v we_o his_o mind_n in_o other_o book_n of_o scripture_n about_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o many_o other_o beside_o that_o the_o joint_a consent_n of_o many_o
