The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

It is a granted Truth, by Logicians on all hands, concerning conditional Propositions; That, that truth followeth from conditional Propositions (both the parts thereof being joined together) which is not a truth, concerning either part of them, being taken asunder. So John 8.51. And if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like unto you. Here is a truth in the Consequence; for Christs words are true, that (with reverence be it spoken) should he so say, he should be a liar; though neither part dis-joined could be a truth, viz. either that Christ should say he knew him not, or that Christ should be a liar. So Rom. 8.13. If you [you Believers] live after the flesh, you shall dye. The Consequence of the Proposition is good, but both the antecedent and consequent of the Proposition being taken asunder are false; sc. either that Believers could live finally after the flesh, or that Believers shall dye eternally.

Here is a truth in the Consequence; for Christs words are true, that (with reverence be it spoken) should he so say, he should be a lyar; though neither part dis-joyned could be a truth, viz. either that Christ should say he knew him not, or that Christ should be a lyar.
