           considerations

           1.
           
           That
           the
           
             word
             of
             God

             truth

           that
           doctrine
           ,
           which
           is
           founded
           expressely
           on
           
             five
          
           places
           of
           
             divine
          
           writ
           ,
           must
           by
           all
           
             Christians
          
           be
           acknowledged
           to
           be
           as
           
             irrefragably
          
           confirmed
           ,
           as
           a
           
             hundred
          
           expresse
           places
           would
           be
           conceived
           to

           That
           this
           
             charge

             adversaries

             faith

             diverting
          
           those
           places
           of
           
             Scripture
             ,
          
           which
           have
           formerly
           been
           used
           to
           assert
           the
           great
           
             mysteries
          
           of

             inferior
          
           ends

           it
           be
           a
           very
           popular
           one
           ,
           and
           that
           which
           is
           most
           apt
           to
           divolve
           an
           
             odium
          
           on
           him

           guilty
           of

           may
           therefore
           probably
           be

           For
