1. Keep all mayn truthes in the word which are most playnely* 1.1 set downe, and are by law of nature ingraven in every man.
First, you are much mistaken Master Bern. if you ima∣gine* 1.2 that all mayn truthes in the word are engraven in every man by the lawe of nature. For the gospell is the more principall part of the word, which notwithstanding is wholy supernaturall and above the created knowledge of man or Angel, Mat. 11. 27. Ephe. 3. 10.
Secondly, if in commending mayn truthes and such as ar•• playnely set downe, you do insinuate that there are any truthes so meane which we may eyther neglect to serch, or (having found them) to obey, therin you should deceive by promising liberty, & make your selfe wiser then God, and crosse his ordinance & ap∣poyntment. 2 Tim. 3. 16. Deut. 4. 1. 2.
And for things left more dark in the Scriptures, they must be vnto vs matter of humiliation in our naturall blyndenes, and of more earnest meditation and prayer with all good conscience.
Mr Ber.
