Further, we teach no irrational nor unconceivable Doctrine: It is true there are Mysteries in our Faith, and even reason it self teacheth, that these must be unconceivable ; but for all our other perswasions they are fuch as may be well made out to the rational faculties of man; therefore we do not betake our felves to that Sanctuary, that we muft be believed, affert what we pleafe, but we affert nothing but what we offer to evince by the cleareft proofs.
