as_o a_o vice_n and_o not_o a_o mere_a error_n in_o speculation_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o deny_v providence_n natural_a law_n or_o a_o future_a state_n be_v as_o much_o a_o atheist_n as_o he_o that_o deny_v god_n be_v for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o with_o respect_n to_o practice_n to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n as_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o obedience_n due_a to_o he_o or_o no_o punishment_n for_o disobedience_n if_o there_o be_v it_o be_v likewise_o all_o one_o to_o deny_v divine_a punishment_n direct_o and_o to_o deny_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o who_o at_o present_a deny_v these_o thing_n for_o they_o who_o say_v the_o soul_n die_v with_o the_o body_n think_v hereby_o to_o prove_v that_o god_n can_v

end_n and_o design_n then_o of_o all_o these_o opinion_n be_v the_o same_o namely_o to_o establish_v a_o liberty_n for_o every_o man_n to_o live_v as_o he_o please_v and_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o israel_n this_o be_v the_o notion_n i_o have_v of_o a_o atheist_n and_o according_o i_o have_v apply_v the_o word_n indifferent_o as_o i_o have_v occasion_n to_o any_o person_n that_o deny_v any_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o establish_v and_o i_o have_v use_v the_o word_n deist_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n with_o that_o of_o atheist_n every_o where_o but_o where_o i_o be_o particular_o concern_v in_o the_o proof_n of_o god_n be_v as_o distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o part_n of_o religion_n but_o here_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o character_n i_o have_v now_o give_v of_o a_o atheist_n by_o a_o deist_n be_v to_o be_v mean_v such_o a_o one_o who_o acknowledge_v all_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n here_o maintain_v who_o think_v he_o be_v oblige_v to_o inform_v himself_o true_o of_o his_o whole_a duty_n to_o god_n and_o to_o live_v up_o to_o the_o high_a and_o pure_a rule_n of_o morality_n he_o can_v form_v to_o himself_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o own_o reason_n and_o the_o unite_a light_n of_o other_o man_n who_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o moral_a or_o practical_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o very_o useful_a and_o instructive_a and_o consequent_o to_o be_v read_v and_o value_v as_o tully_n and_o aristotle_n be_v upon_o the_o same_o subject_a but_o do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o revelation_n or_o assent_v to_o any_o of_o those_o peculiar_a matter_n of_o fact_n or_o doctrine_n which_o be_v whole_o ground_v upon_o that_o extraordinary_a way_n of_o conveyance_n and_o be_v not_o level_v to_o his_o reason_n or_o discoverable_a by_o it_o and_o if_o a_o deist_n be_v such_o as_o i_o have_v describe_v it_o will_v be_v as_o just_a a_o matter_n of_o enquiry_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o person_n to_o who_o this_o title_n belong_v as_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o real_a atheist_n in_o the_o world_n for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v not_o positive_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o true_a deist_n in_o that_o sense_n i_o have_v give_v of_o the_o word_n because_o i_o believe_v there_o hardly_o be_v any_o opinion_n know_v among_o man_n that_o some_o body_n be_v not_o of_o but_o this_o i_o think_v i_o may_v venture_v to_o affirm_v that_o it_o will_v be_v the_o difficult_a thing_n imaginable_a to_o find_v a_o man_n in_o a_o christian_a country_n who_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o common_a proof_n of_o christianity_n who_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n here_o lay_v down_o and_o serious_o endeavour_v to_o conform_v his_o life_n according_a to_o the_o moral_a rule_n and_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o deny_v revelation_n and_o all_o those_o particular_a truth_n which_o stand_v distinguish_v by_o the_o name_n of_o reveal_v religion_n such_o a_o man_n as_o this_o i_o believe_v be_v hard_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o for_o it_o be_v not_o prophecy_n or_o miracle_n or_o mystery_n that_o puzzle_v the_o faith_n of_o those_o that_o now_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o deist_n but_o a_o plain_a and_o full_a discovery_n of_o a_o future_a state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n this_o be_v the_o shock_v repugnant_a doctrine_n in_o comparison_n of_o which_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n be_v easy_a notion_n and_o very_o reconcileable_a to_o their_o reason_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o i_o have_v several_a time_n mention_v deist_n as_o enemy_n of_o natural_a religion_n and_o so_o proper_o come_v within_o my_o subject_n and_o not_o as_o mere_a opposer_n of_o revelation_n which_o belong_v to_o another_o argument_n and_o now_o have_v point_v out_o who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v particular_o concern_v in_o the_o forego_n discourse_n it_o may_v be_v expect_v that_o i_o shall_v address_v myself_o to_o they_o to_o embrace_v those_o principle_n of_o religion_n i_o have_v there_o prove_v and_o to_o bestow_v some_o serious_a thought_n about_o the_o danger_n of_o their_o unbelief_n but_o i_o be_o too_o well_o acquaint_v with_o their_o character_n to_o trouble_v they_o with_o any_o advice_n of_o this_o nature_n if_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v and_o bear_v down_o by_o argument_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o will_v never_o yield_v to_o persuasion_n neither_o indeed_o be_v it_o proper_a to_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o believe_v they_o only_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o in_o this_o manner_n who_o be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o you_o will_v persuade_v they_o to_o but_o want_v sufficient_a motive_n and_o incitement_n to_o practice_v i_o shall_v therefore_o shut_v up_o this_o whole_a discourse_n with_o my_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o incline_v and_o dispose_v those_o who_o be_v doubtful_a and_o waver_a in_o the_o
