But this is only, if not by extrinsic denomination, at the most but a Virtual or Relative distinction; As the same Centre may have divers denominations from the several lines that meet in it: Or the same Pillar or Rock may be East, West, North, or South, ad laevam, vel ad dextram, in respect to several other Correlates: Or (plainly) as one and the same Antecedent, hath divers denominations from several Consequents. So if you could give me health, wealth, Honour, Comfort, &c. on the condition that I would but say One Word [I thank you:] that one word, might be denominated an enriching word, an honouring word, a comforting word from the several Consequents. And so may faith. But this makes neither the Materiale, nor the Formale of the Condition to be divers: either the faith it self, or condition of the Promise.
