A14095 A discovery of D. Iacksons vanitie. Or A perspective glasse, wherby the admirers of D. Iacksons profound discourses, may see the vanitie and weaknesse of them, in sundry passages, and especially so farre as they tende to the undermining of the doctrine hitherto received. Written by William Twisse, Doctor of Divinitie, as they say, from whom the copie came to the presse Twisse, William, 1578?-1646. 1631 (1631) STC 24402; ESTC S118777 563,516 728

purpose_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o elect_a because_o it_o continue_v without_o expiration_n therefore_o it_o be_v suspend_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n of_o piety_n you_o

to_o be_v a_o notorious_a untruth_n for_o determine_v or_o expire_a act_n be_v no_o more_o require_v unto_o error_n than_o unto_o truth_n and_o if_o a_o man_n continue_v as_o many_o do_v to_o their_o

knowledge_n in_o general_a not_o of_o a_o erroneous_a apprehension_n in_o special_a 11._o what_o you_o discourse_v of_o knowledge_n conjectural_a which_o man_n may_v have_v of_o thing_n contingent_a can_v have_v of_o thing_n casual_a i_o leave_v it_o as_o i_o find_v it_o i_o come_v to_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o can_v foreknow_v future_a contingent_n and_o this_o you_o say_v be_v because_o our_o

to_o a_o end_n of_o this_o in_o the_o next_o place_n you_o give_v some_o reason_n for_o your_o assertion_n as_o when_o you_o say_v we_o be_v able_a by_o god_n permission_n to_o lay_v a_o necessity_n upon_o contingent_n and_o so_o to_o foreknowe_a they_o yet_o our_o knowledge_n still_o be_v but_o finite_a hence_o you_o seem_v willing_a to_o infer_v that_o therefore_o god_n see_v his_o knowledge_n

will_v be_v find_v that_o no_o cause_n hereof_o can_v be_v assign_v but_o only_o the_o will_n of_o god_n second_o i_o deny_v that_o god_n by_o determine_v thing_n contingent_a and_o in_o their_o

three_o as_o touch_v your_o antecedent_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o thing_n contingent_a those_o be_v whereupon_o we_o can_v lay_v any_o necessity_n whereby_o to_o foretell_v they_o for_o it_o

that_o which_o you_o presume_v no_o intelligent_a christian_n will_v deny_v this_o make_v i_o look_v back_o again_o upon_o your_o word_n to_o try_v whether_o i_o can_v start_v the_o mystery_n and_o

generation_n as_o of_o th●_n son_n by_o the_o father_n the_o progress_n upwardes_o can_v be_v infinite_a therefore_o at_o length_n we_o must_v ascend_v to_o th●_n first_o of_o man_n as_o adam_z who_o
