the_o ordinary_a mean_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o conversion_n of_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o sincere_o use_v these_o mean_n we_o may_v confident_o expect_v the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o make_v they_o effectual_a but_o if_o we_o neglect_v and_o resist_v these_o mean_n in_o confidence_n that_o god_n shall_v attempt_v our_o recovery_n by_o some_o extraordinary_a way_n though_o he_o shall_v gratify_v our_o presumptuous_a and_o unreasonable_a curiosity_n so_o far_o as_o to_o send_v one_o from_o the_o dead_a to_o testify_v unto_o we_o yet_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v the_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o make_v such_o a_o conviction_n effectual_a to_o our_o repentance_n when_o we_o have_v so_o long_o despise_v his_o word_n and_o resist_v his_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n without_o his_o grace_n and_o assistance_n the_o most_o probable_a mean_n will_v prove_v ineffectual_a to_o alter_v and_o change_v our_o corrupt_a nature_n by_o grace_n we_o be_v save_v and_o that_o not_o of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n this_o grace_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o assistance_n of_o it_o be_v convey_v to_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v great_a presumption_n to_o promise_v to_o ourselves_o the_o

how_o unlikely_a it_o be_v that_o those_o who_o obstinate_o reject_v a_o clear_a and_o public_a revelation_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v effectual_o convince_v and_o bring_v to_o repentance_n by_o any_o apparition_n from_o the_o dead_a i_o shall_v only_o make_v two_o or_o three_o inference_n from_o this_o discourse_n which_o i_o have_v make_v and_o so_o conclude_v one_a since_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o public_a and_o stand_a revelation_n of_o god_n will_n to_o man_n and_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o salvation_n we_o may_v hence_o conclude_v that_o people_n ought_v to_o have_v they_o in_o such_o a_o language_n as_o they_o can_v understand_v this_o our_o saviour_n plain_o suppose_v in_o the_o discourse_n which_o he_o represent_v between_o abraham_n and_o the_o rich_a man_n desire_v that_o lazarus_n may_v be_v send_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o his_o brethren_n to_o testify_v unto_o they_o to_o which_o request_n abraham_n will_v not_o have_v give_v this_o answer_n and_o advice_n they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n let_v they_o hear_v they_o have_v he_o suppose_v that_o the_o scripture_n than_o be_v or_o for_o the_o future_a aught_o to_o be_v lock_v up_o from_o the_o people_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n for_o the_o rich_a man_n may_v very_o well_o have_v reply_v nay_o father_n abraham_n but_o they_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n in_o such_o a_o language_n as_o they_o can_v understand_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v more_o need_n why_o one_o shall_v be_v send_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o testify_v unto_o they_o nor_o will_v abraham_n have_v say_v again_o if_o they_o hear_v not_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v for_o how_o shall_v man_n hear_v what_o they_o can_v understand_v so_o as_o to_o be_v persuade_v by_o it_o it_o be_v evident_a then_o that_o our_o saviour_n according_a to_o the_o reason_v of_o this_o parable_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o stand_n and_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o bring_v man_n to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o that_o the_o people_n be_v to_o have_v the_o free_a use_n of_o they_o but_o since_o our_o saviour_n time_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v find_v a_o mighty_a inconvenience_n in_o this_o and_o therefore_o have_v take_v the_o scripture_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o people_n they_o will_v not_o now_o let_v they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o gospel_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o the_o write_n of_o his_o apostle_n because_o they_o be_v real_o afraid_a they_o shall_v hear_v they_o and_o by_o hear_v of_o they_o be_v convince_v and_o persuade_v of_o the_o error_n and_o corruption_n of_o their_o church_n but_o instead_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n they_o have_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n a_o legend_n of_o famous_a apparition_n of_o man_n from_o the_o dead_a testify_v unto_o they_o concern_v purgatory_n and_o transubstantiation_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o refreshment_n which_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n have_v by_o the_o indulgence_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o live_n put_v up_o to_o saint_n and_o angel_n on_o their_o behalf_n so_o that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n quite_o contrary_a to_o our_o saviour_n method_n man_n be_v persuade_v of_o their_o religion_n of_o their_o new_a article_n of_o faith_n and_o way_n of_o worship_n not_o by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n not_o by_o the_o

will_v dismiss_v this_o matter_n with_o this_o one_o observation_n that_o however_o interest_v and_o confident_a man_n may_v set_v a_o bold_a face_n upon_o any_o thing_n yet_o it_o can_v to_o
