what_o a_o necessary_a work_n it_o be_v to_o yield_v our_o love_n and_o obedience_n to_o that_o law_n and_o light_n with_o which_o god_n instruct_v and_o enlighten_v our_o nature_n and_o that_o without_o some_o experience_n thereof_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o pretend_v to_o any_o religion_n whether_o do_v he_o offer_v this_o as_o one_o reason_n for_o leave_v we_o or_o digress_v and_o give_v it_o as_o advice_n to_o his_o present_a friend_n for_o it_o be_v much_o but_o he_o may_v think_v himself_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o pretence_n of_o sorrow_n and_o shame_n wise_a than_o some_o old_a and_o more_o eminent_a churchman_n he_o go_v on_o and_o tell_v how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o reduce_v all_o religion_n and_o faith_n towards_o god_n under_o a_o profession_n and_o experience_n of_o light_n and_o truth_n without_o any_o distinction_n of_o common_a and_o special_a illumination_n and_o grace_n how_o far_o he_o intend_v this_o a_o charge_n against_o we_o i_o be_o
