any_o nation_n from_o all_o the_o nation_n round_o about_o it_o for_o this_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o necessary_a a_o consequence_n from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o a_o reflection_n upon_o such_o a_o auditory_a as_o this_o to_o spend_v any_o long_a time_n in_o a_o solemn_a proof_n of_o it_o for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o a_o nation_n that_o either_o enjoy_v itself_o in_o peace_n at_o home_n and_o be_v famous_a for_o be_v useful_a and_o beneficial_a to_o all_o other_o nation_n or_o at_o least_o be_v victorious_a in_o all_o its_o war_n abroad_o that_o flourish_v in_o wealth_n and_o plenty_n and_o extend_v its_o trade_n over_o the_o whole_a earth_n must_v needs_o be_v honourable_a among_o all_o people_n who_o know_v not_o that_o as_o love_v and_o kindness_n do_v invite_v so_o power_n and_o wealth_n command_v respect_n and_o veneration_n i_o shall_v therefore_o but_o just_a mention_n two_o other_o consideration_n proper_a under_o this_o head_n first_o that_o a_o religious_a nation_n will_v be_v respect_v pure_o for_o its_o be_v religious_a religion_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o so_o true_o amiable_a so_o agreeable_a to_o the_o reason_n and_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o so_o worthy_a of_o and_o like_a to_o god_n that_o however_o some_o few_o man_n may_v make_v a_o hard_a shift_n by_o do_v violence_n to_o their_o nature_n to_o contemn_v and_o neglect_v it_o yet_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n always_o have_v have_v and_o always_o will_v have_v a_o veneration_n for_o it_o insomuch_o that_o we_o may_v safe_o observe_v as_o tully_n do_v of_o old_a concern_v the_o beleif_n of_o a_o deity_n that_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o nation_n so_o barbarous_a and_o so_o entire_o forsake_v of_o good_a manner_n that_o do_v not_o respect_n and_o honour_v such_o as_o be_v true_o religious_a and_o therefore_o we_o find_v solomon_n throughout_o his_o whole_a book_n of_o proverb_n make_v honour_n a_o constant_a attendant_n upon_o wisdom_n or_o religion_n second_o religion_n be_v the_o great_a patroness_n of_o art_n and_o science_n they_o always_o walk_v in_o her_o train_n and_o flourish_v where_o she_o flourish_v for_o as_o she_o preserve_v man_n from_o those_o vice_n which_o swallow_v up_o both_o their_o time_n and_o part_n and_o leave_v they_o neither_o opportunity_n nor_o capacity_n to_o improve_v in_o art_n and_o knowledge_n and_o by_o so_o do_v keep_v they_o always_o in_o a_o fit_a temper_n ready_a and_o prepare_v for_o study_n and_o business_n so_o do_v she_o likewise_o encourage_v and_o command_v they_o to_o be_v always_o exercise_v their_o talent_n improve_n their_o faculty_n and_o exert_v all_o their_o utmost_a power_n in_o make_v useful_a search_n and_o enquirye_n for_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o mankind_n and_o when_o man_n shall_v diligent_o bring_v all_o their_o natural_a faculty_n in_o their_o full_a force_n and_o vigour_n under_o the_o command_n of_o religion_n to_o lay_v close_a siege_n to_o the_o fort_n of_o knowledge_n how_o can_v they_o possible_o fail_v of_o take_v it_o this_o than_o will_v be_v another_o part_n of_o a_o righteous_a nation_n be_v glory_n it_o be_v learning_n shall_v be_v equal_a to_o its_o piety_n make_v it_o admire_v and_o court_v by_o all_o abroad_o and_o all_o the_o foreign_a son_n of_o learning_n that_o noble_a and_o better_a part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v rise_v up_o and_o pay_v obeisance_n to_o it_o thus_o much_o will_n religion_n consider_v in_o itself_o do_v towards_o the_o exalt_v of_o any_o nation_n and_o here_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o the_o atheist_n themselves_o how_o little_a soever_o they_o may_v care_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o commendation_n of_o religion_n whether_o what_o i_o have_v say_v of_o it_o be_v not_o true_a i_o be_o sure_a if_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v so_o they_o have_v do_v very_o foolish_o in_o give_v religion_n the_o name_n of_o a_o state-engine_n of_o a_o politic_a device_n to_o keep_v people_n in_o awe_n and_o good_a order_n of_o a_o instrument_n of_o government_n and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o proceed_v religion_n will_v still_o do_v much_o more_o towards_o the_o exalt_v of_o any_o nation_n if_o we_o consider_v it_o second_o as_o it_o give_v a_o nation_n a_o sure_a title_n to_o the_o protection_n favour_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o
