SECT. III. Divine Law
"they can never be put into any competition together
Locke's notion is the reverse. He thinks His notion
is that moral truths, propositions of morality
are strictly demonstrable; susceptible of an questionable reading
equal to that of mathematical ones. Whereas that
of revealed truths comes short of being equal
to it. He thinks with Archbishop Tillotson that
the evidence those had of them at first to themquestionable reading when
these were revealed, the Apostles* for example, was
no greater than that of their senses: for it was
that of their senses and no other. He thinks that
demonstration, comes next in point of certainty, comes next:
and that History comes after all. deleted text He thinks that
what passes through man's mouth deleted text and depends upon deleted texthis veracity can be at most
but probable. He might have thought, whether he did
or no, that it is easier for a man, or many men
to make a mistake, or tell a lie, or forge a his-
-tory, than for fourteen men for example to have each of them
two father's: than for God to dictate contradictions:
for an all-powerful being not to be not able,
or an all-benevolent onedeleted text not willing to speak
plain.
