I am now to prove that there is one true God, the being of beings, or the first being. Although the proving of this point seems needless, because every man runs with the cry, and saith, There is a God, yet few throughly believe this point. Many of the children of God, who are best able to know mens hearts, because they only study their hearts, feel this temptations; is there a God? bitterly assaulting them sometimes. The devil will sometimes undermine, and seek to blow up the strongest walls & bulwarks. The light of nature indeed shows that there is a God: but how many are there, that by foul sins against their conscience, blow out and extinguish almost all the light of nature? And hence, though they dare not conclude, because they have some light, though dim▪ yet if they saw their heart, they might see it secretly suspect and question, Whether there be a God? But grant that none questions this truth, yet we that are builders, must not fall to a work without our main props and pillars. It may appear therefore, that there is a God, from these grounds.
