declaration_n of_o scripture_n concern_v it_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o full_a sense_n of_o it_o which_o he_o have_v deliver_v p._n 31._o and_o repeat_v in_o his_o vindication_n p._n 28._o believe_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o saviour_n promise_v and_o take_v he_o now_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o constitute_v the_o lord_n and_o judge_n of_o man_n to_o be_v their_o king_n and_o

believe_v concern_v the_o messiah_n or_o where_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n that_o this_o sense_n and_o mean_v of_o jesus_n be_v the_o messiah_n exclusive_a of_o all_o other_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o this_o can_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o only_a explication_n unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o it_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v so_o in_o

so_o that_o the_o believe_a jesus_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n though_o we_o shall_v take_v in_o his_o interpretation_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v design_v for_o such_o do_v not_o seem_v of_o itself_o to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian_n but_o for_o the_o clear_a examination_n of_o this_o assertion_n we_o may_v consider_v first_o that_o what_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o denominate_v a_o man_n a_o believer_n or_o a_o christian_a during_o the_o actual_a ministry_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o true_o entitle_v any_o one_o to_o that_o character_n now_o or_o during_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o apostle_n after_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o we_o do_v not_o find_v from_o the_o whole_a history_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o any_o of_o those_o who_o believe_v on_o our_o saviour_n have_v a_o just_a knowledge_n of_o he_o or_o what_o be_v the_o true_a end_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o world_n which_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v of_o his_o disciple_n from_o that_o question_n of_o they_o to_o our_o saviour_n lord_n will_v thou_o at_o this_o time_n restore_v the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n to_o which_o he_o do_v not_o give_v a_o direct_a answer_n but_o show_v they_o their_o ignorance_n by_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v not_o for_o you_o to_o know_v the_o time_n and_o season_n which_o the_o father_n have_v put_v in_o his_o own_o power_n but_o you_o shall_v receive_v power_n after_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v come_v upon_o you_o 1._o act_n 1._o and_o you_o shall_v be_v witness_n unto_o i_o both_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o all_o judea_n and_o in_o samaria_n and_o unto_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o infer_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o that_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o the_o design_n of_o his_o come_v which_o it_o be_v necessary_a they_o shall_v be_v endue_v with_o and_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o arrive_v to_o that_o fullness_n of_o faith_n who_o have_v be_v with_o he_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v absurd_a to_o imagine_v that_o any_o other_o who_o have_v believe_v on_o he_o can_v have_v entertain_v any_o clear_a or_o more_o distinct_a notion_n of_o he_o so_o that_o we_o can_v form_v any_o adequate_a rule_n of_o faith_n from_o what_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o gospel_n concern_v the_o believe_a jesus_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n since_o the_o just_a mean_v of_o that_o proposition_n be_v not_o then_o understand_v nor_o will_v it_o alter_v the_o case_n by_o say_v that_o those_o who_o die_v then_o in_o that_o faith_n be_v undoubted_o save_v for_o that_o will_v be_v no_o more_o a_o argument_n than_o the_o prove_v that_o because_o a_o jew_n be_v save_v before_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o virtue_n of_o christ_n mediation_n in_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o mosaic_a law_n he_o may_v be_v equal_o capable_a of_o salvation_n now_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o that_o religion_n for_o we_o be_v to_o direct_v our_o faith_n and_o practice_n according_a to_o the_o most_o full_a and_o clear_a revelation_n of_o god_n will_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n which_o appear_v from_o the_o full_a extent_n of_o revelation_n to_o be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o it_o for_o that_o rule_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n will_v always_o hold_v that_o where_o much_o be_v give_v or_o much_o reveal_v there_o be_v also_o much_o require_v to_o be_v believe_v if_o therefore_o the_o disciple_n do_v not_o then_o full_o know_v what_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o christian_a now_o to_o believe_v as_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a they_o do_v not_o it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o bare_a believe_a jesus_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n be_v not_o sufficient_a or_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o even_o to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o believer_n or_o a_o christian_n for_o the_o disciple_n do_v already_o
