Of sense, reason, and faith.
A Man hath sense, reason, and faith; reason is above sense, and under faith; for one half of reason joyns to sense, which is the part that is demonstrative; but that part that is not demonstrative, is beyond the sensitive knowledge, so as it fallsinto conjectures, and probabilities, and from probabilities to belief, and an excessive belief is faith, for we cannot call that a perfect knowledge which our reason singly tell us, but what our perfect, and healthful senses joyned with our reason distinguish to us: there are two sorts of faith, the one is divine, which is given to man by an inspiring grace; and the other na∣tural, which is by rational conjectures, probabilities, and com∣paratives.
