P. I must believe my senses, where I have no reason to disbelieve them. But when God contradicteth them, I have reason to disbelieve them.

R. 1. You vainly suppose without proof that God contradicteth them. So you may say, I may or must believe the Scripture or an Apostle, Prophet or Miracle, except God contradict them. But if God contradict them, he contradicteth his own word or revelation: For we have no other from him, but by man: And if he ⟨p. 90⟩contradict himself, or his own word, how can I believe him, or know which of his words it is that's true, when one is false? so here: His Natural Revelation is his first, nearest, and most satisfactory revelation: And if that be said to be false by his supernatural revelation, which shall I believe, and why?

P. III. You cannot deny but God can deceive our senses. And therefore if he can, will you conclude against all faith if once he do it?
