VII. Quest. Whether these common Verities infer not the truth of Christianity.
VII. Quest. Whether these common Verities inferre not the truth of Christianity.
Answ. This is sufficiently answered in the last. Perhaps the few Verities mentioned by the Author are not enough to prove Christianity by: But ⟨p. 139⟩that it hath true evidence in sense and reason is manifested heretofore. And I believe that he that will by just argumentation follow on the Christian cause with an unbeliever, if he can hold him to the point from rambling, and suppose him capable of Historical evidence, may drive him to yield, or to deny common principles, yea to deny that God is God, and that man is man, and consequently that there is any being. But the evasion will be by denying notorious matter of fact, which therefore must be proved by its proper evidence.
IX. Quest. Whether they are necessary conditions of the certain knowledge of a divine Revelation. First, That it be made immediately to my self. Secondly, And that I feel a divine afflatus in the Reception? as is said Page.
