can_v preserve_v we_o from_o the_o commission_n of_o they_o for_o no_o man_n while_o he_o use_v his_o own_o reason_n right_o ever_o commit_v any_o of_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o suppose_v it_o can_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v impious_a but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o enslave_v of_o our_o reason_n to_o the_o brutish_a part_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v his_o sensual_a appetite_n or_o the_o like_a which_o indeed_o be_v too_o familiar_a while_n youth_n last_v it_o be_v true_a which_o the_o gent._n affirm_v that_o whoever_o fail_v by_o the_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o find_v out_o of_o truth_n which_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o help_v be_v therefore_o inexcusable_a but_o he_o that_o persecute_v those_o who_o have_v search_v according_a to_o their_o best_a mean_n and_o yet_o can_v satisfy_v their_o own_o conscience_n be_v more_o inexcusable_a by_o do_v that_o to_o other_o which_o he_o will_v for_o no_o man_n will_v be_v persecute_v not_o have_v do_v to_o himself_o but_o the_o gentleman_n except_v against_o the_o author_n assert_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v error_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v damnable_a it_o be_v unreasonable_a to_o teach_v man_n that_o error_n overthrow_v our_o hope_n of_o salvation_n unless_o we_o can_v likewise_o give_v they_o a_o catalogue_n of_o those_o error_n which_o be_v so_o paul_n indeed_o say_v there_o be_v damnable_a heresy_n and_o peter_n but_o name_v none_o in_o particular_a but_o deny_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o buy_v we_o thereby_o bring_v swift_a destruction_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v very_o plain_a thereby_o peter_n define_v or_o rather_o determine_v the_o deny_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o to_o be_v the_o only_a damnable_a heresy_n which_o indeed_o i_o take_v to_o be_v apostasy_n however_o the_o gent._n adventure_v to_o give_v we_o another_o manner_n of_o catalogue_n of_o damnable_a heresy_n which_o he_o say_v be_v all_o such_o as_o be_v continue_v in_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n perverse_o and_o obstinate_o i_o grant_v it_o true_a but_o if_o all_o be_v guilty_a of_o damnable_a error_n or_o damnable_a heresy_n who_o do_v not_o obey_v what_o the_o church_n enjoin_v that_o be_v the_o law_n in_o england_n and_o scotland_n consider_v the_o indifferency_n of_o some_o and_o the_o dissent_v of_o other_o there_o will_v be_v but_o a_o few_o compare_v to_o the_o guilty_a in_o any_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n in_o those_o two_o kingdom_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o invite_v all_o lukewarm_a protestant_n to_o the_o roman_a religion_n rather_o than_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o religion_n of_o that_o people_n so_o general_o infect_v with_o damnable_a error_n the_o papist_n have_v reason_n to_o thank_v he_o for_o it_o yet_o again_o the_o gent._n quarrel_v at_o the_o author_n for_o say_v where_o we_o do_v not_o know_v our_o fault_n we_o have_v no_o mean_n of_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o consequent_o can_v expect_v pardon_n for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n without_o repentance_n and_o repentance_n be_v impossible_a without_o knowledge_n of_o our_o fault_n to_o which_o the_o gentleman_n answer_n be_v if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o will_v damn_v all_o mankind_n and_o my_o reply_n be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a it_o must_v damn_v most_o of_o mankind_n for_o confident_a i_o be_o there_o be_v not_o one_o in_o a_o thousand_o that_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o repent_v of_o sin_n he_o never_o know_v of_o it_o be_v enough_o and_o more_o than_o most_o man_n do_v to_o repent_v of_o know_a sin_n pardon_n impli_v a_o gild_n gild_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n the_o old_a testament_n condemn_v none_o but_o for_o actual_a sin_n the_o new_a make_v few_o new_a sin_n more_o than_o the_o old_a for_o thought_n if_o transient_a and_o not_o reduce_v into_o act_n be_v not_o sin_n and_o what_o david_n say_v who_o can_v understand_v his_o error_n there_o be_v not_o any_o more_o mean_v by_o it_o than_o that_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o understand_v they_o and_o when_o he_o pray_v to_o be_v pardon_v his_o secret_a sin_n he_o intend_v not_o any_o other_o than_o such_o sin_n as_o be_v only_o know_v to_o god_n and_o himself_o so_o against_o presumptuous_a sin_n which_o be_v intend_v against_o light_n against_o reason_n no_o man_n have_v ever_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n than_o he_o who_o have_v be_v prefer_v and_o preserve_v in_o so_o admirable_a a_o manner_n more_o than_o once_o from_o his_o enemy_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o gent._n can_v forget_v who_o pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o unreasonable_a man_n nor_o who_o fight_v with_o beast_n at_o ephesus_n again_o the_o author_n have_v say_v the_o great_a probability_n of_o truth_n on_o all_o side_n even_o in_o the_o err_a one_o ought_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v pardon_v those_o error_n the_o gentleman_n answer_v thus_o if_o our_o error_n be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n or_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v but_o god_n will_v pardon_v they_o and_o i_o say_v if_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o error_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v pardon_v they_o and_o that_o sin_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o cause_n of_o error_n be_v plain_a to_o any_o man_n who_o shall_v observe_v the_o effect_n of_o debauchery_n for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a any_o man_n can_v act_v rational_o who_o drown_v his_o reason_n or_o believe_v as_o convince_v by_o reason_n when_o he_o will_v offer_v violence_n to_o it_o and_o brutifie_v himself_o but_o say_v the_o gent._n if_o our_o error_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o wilful_a ignorance_n pride_n or_o idleness_n if_o they_o have_v lead_v we_o into_o schism_n and_o heresy_n and_o thereby_o into_o contempt_n of_o authority_n than_o we_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n of_o pardon_n without_o amendment_n wherefore_o sin_n be_v most_o common_o the_o cause_n or_o the_o effect_n of_o error_n or_o both_o it_o prove_v there_o be_v no_o small_a danger_n in_o they_o i_o must_v mind_v the_o reader_n here_o how_o the_o gentleman_n run_v the_o wild-goose_n chase_n one_o while_o put_v a_o erroneous_a person_n in_o hope_n of_o pardon_n in_o which_o he_o impli_v gild_n or_o else_o why_o pardon_n another_o while_n no_o pardon_n without_o amendment_n as_o if_o amendment_n be_v not_o the_o tacit_a condition_n of_o every_o pardon_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a man_n may_v presume_v to_o sin_n daily_o upon_o assurance_n of_o daily_a pardon_n or_o at_o least_o upon_o presumption_n of_o it_o i_o suppose_v he_o shall_v rather_o have_v say_v no_o pardon_n be_v to_o be_v have_v without_o repentance_n in_o any_o case_n which_o he_o be_v afraid_a or_o unwilling_a to_o say_v lest_o he_o shall_v have_v admit_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o author_n assertion_n which_o be_v that_o true_a repentance_n can_v not_o be_v without_o foreknowledge_n of_o the_o fault_n and_o i_o think_v as_o concern_v error_n to_o mend_v be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o repent_v of_o they_o but_o for_o that_o the_o gent._n make_v wilful_a ignorance_n a_o damnable_a sin_n i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o term_n wilful_a there_o it_o be_v as_o absurd_a to_o my_o apprehension_n to_o call_v ignorance_n wilful_a as_o to_o talk_v of_o free_a will_n the_o will_v always_o follow_v and_o be_v act_v by_o the_o last_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n so_o that_o it_o not_o only_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o be_v necessitate_v be_v no_o faculty_n in_o itself_o man_n can_v therefore_o believe_v what_o they_o please_v nor_o think_v what_o they_o please_v that_o such_o or_o such_o a_o opinion_n or_o thing_n be_v true_a or_o false_a indeed_o a_o man_n may_v act_v contrary_a to_o his_o understanding_n which_o be_v hypocrisy_n and_o which_o if_o the_o gent._n please_v he_o may_v call_v wilful_a hypocrisy_n nor_o do_v i_o know_v a_o fit_a man_n to_o make_v hypocrite_n than_o himself_o who_o be_v so_o fierce_a nay_o fierce_a than_o our_o law_n be_v themselves_o to_o have_v all_o man_n compel_v to_o conformity_n whether_o it_o be_v with_o or_o against_o their_o reason_n after_o the_o way_n carter_n use_v by_o the_o whip_n to_o teach_v their_o poor_a horse_n obedience_n now_o again_o the_o author_n have_v say_v and_o true_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o great_a danger_n from_o error_n since_o there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a way_n for_o a_o thousand_o false_a one_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o mark_n set_v upon_o that_o true_a way_n to_o
