affirm_v thing_n contrary_a to_o proposition_n so_o evident_a and_o certain_a as_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o man_n shall_v not_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v true_a to_o wit_n those_o maxim_n out_o of_o which_o the_o say_v thing_n be_v demonstrate_v but_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o those_o maxim_n to_o some_o man_n be_v evident_a and_o firm_a who_o will_v not_o believe_v such_o thing_n as_o follow_v from_o they_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n because_o they_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o that_o straight_a tie_n and_o fi●m_v connexion_n which_o be_v between_o the_o say_a maxim_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o follow_v therefrom_o otherwise_o since_o no_o man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o principle_n from_o whence_o the_o demonstration_n be_v raise_v every_o body_n will_v know_v the_o truth_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v and_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v all_o man_n geometrician_n arithmetician_n all_o man_n musician_n and_o astrologer_n and_o because_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o what_o follow_v from_o some_o other_o thing_n may_v not_o be_v discern_v by_o some_o man_n to_o follow_v the_o same_o and_o he_o may_v therefore_o believe_v the_o former_a and_o not_o the_o latter_a doubtless_o it_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o because_o a_o man_n deny_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n he_o must_v therefore_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n be_v a_o point_n which_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v know_v especial_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o strong_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o antecedent_n that_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v deny_v the_o same_o he_o will_v allow_v of_o the_o consequent_a for_o truth_n but_o in_o case_n he_o will_v rather_o deny_v the_o antecedent_n then_o allow_v of_o the_o consequent_a the_o case_n be_v different_a so_o to_o do_v be_v at_o least_o not_o firm_o to_o believe_v the_o antecedent_n it_o be_v manife_a therefore_o that_o such_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n as_o prove_v a_o point_n ought_v necessary_o to_o be_v know_v do_v not_o prove_v that_o such_o thing_n as_o necessary_o follow_v be_v of_o like_a necessity_n to_o be_v know_v this_o part_n of_o our_o discourse_n be_v subtle_a and_o acute_a require_v that_o the_o reader_n give_v great_a heed_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v understand_v the_o same_o howbeit_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o rash_a judgement_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o church_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n into_o sect_n these_o thing_n be_v thus_o clear_v we_o be_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o inquire_v what_o those_o point_n be_v which_o be_v propound_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o so_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o which_o shall_v not_o know_v and_o thorough_o

of_o salvation_n though_o he_o very_o much_o err_v in_o all_o other_o point_n concern_v which_o question_n i_o will_v much_o rather_o hear_v the_o judgement_n of_o other_o man_n then_o propound_v my_o own_o to_o the_o rash_a and_o haply_o irreligious_a censure_n of_o many_o howbeit_o the_o hope_n of_o procure_v the_o tranquillity_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v more_o
