to_o perish_v by_o it_o while_o thou_o fit_v at_o thy_o wine_n the_o wine_n seem_v to_o thou_o to_o be_v still_o the_o same_o because_o it_o be_v still_o of_o the_o same_o colour_n and_o the_o same_o

more_o reason_n to_o be_v valiant_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o country_n or_o a_o lawful_a cause_n then_o a_o christian_a the_o great_a abatement_n of_o valour_n common_o arise_v from_o a_o fearful_a apprehension_n of_o death_n but_o the_o christian_n have_v least_o reason_n of_o any_o to_o fear_v death_n for_o by_o it_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o gain_v the_o advantage_n of_o a_o eternal_a felicity_n and_o therefore_o have_v he_o most_o reason_n to_o be_v valiant_a this_o belief_n of_o eternity_n even_o a_o heathen_a poet_n commend_v as_o a_o principal_a root_n of_o valour_n and_o he_o commend_v it_o in_o the_o ancient_a briton_n for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n among_o they_o to_o be_v spare_v of_o that_o life_n which_o will_v return_v again_o and_o he_o call_v they_o happy_a in_o this_o error_n whereby_o they_o be_v free_v from_o that_o great_a fear_n of_o death_n and_o by_o common_a reason_n he_o that_o believe_v nothing_o to_o be_v beyond_o life_n shall_v fear_v more_o to_o lose_v life_n which_o be_v all_o that_o he_o know_v than_o another_o which_o know_v a_o second_o life_n to_o follow_v this_o which_o far_o excel_v it_o again_o as_o the_o christian_a have_v least_o cause_n of_o fear_n so_o he_o have_v most_o cause_n of_o valour_n and_o where_o be_v more_o cause_n there_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v a_o great_a effect_n now_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v that_o a_o christian_n have_v more_o cause_n than_o a_o heathen_a to_o be_v valiant_a for_o beside_o the_o love_n of_o his_o country_n and_o the_o preservation_n and_o enlargement_n of_o fame_n which_o be_v reason_n common_a to_o both_o the_o christian_n have_v for_o his_o advantage_n the_o high_a essence_n command_v he_o confirm_v he_o and_o stand_v before_o he_o as_o his_o reward_n god_n be_v his_o warrant_n for_o his_o action_n he_o be_v his_o strength_n in_o the_o action_n he_o be_v his_o happiness_n if_o he_o die_v in_o the_o action_n so_o many_o advantage_n have_v a_o christian_a of_o a_o heathen_a and_o therefore_o his_o valour_n shall_v by_o so_o many_o degree_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o a_o heathen_a therefore_o if_o a_o christian_a be_v not_o so_o valiant_a as_o a_o heathen_a it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o because_o he_o be_v not_o christian_n enough_o and_o no_o question_n but_o he_o that_o be_v fearful_a be_v a_o christian_n will_v be_v much_o more_o fearful_a if_o he_o be_v a_o heathen_a for_o let_v the_o philosopher_n rack_v up_o his_o wit_n to_o the_o high_a tenter_n to_o see_v if_o he_o can_v reach_v to_o high_a cause_n of_o valour_n than_o these_o of_o a_o christian_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o can_v propose_v no_o great_a reward_n then_o eternal_a felicity_n he_o can_v conceive_v no_o high_a encouragement_n than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o high_a &_o he_o can_v imagine_v no_o valour_n more_o full_a of_o force_n and_o virtue_n then_o that_o which_o be_v infuse_v by_o the_o original_a fountain_n and_o root_n of_o all_o might_n and_o power_n who_o alone_o be_v just_o term_v the_o almighty_a and_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o the_o god_n of_o battle_n who_o shall_v be_v strong_a than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o author_n of_o strength_n on_o his_o side_n and_o who_o can_v fear_v that_o have_v a_o great_a with_o he_o then_o against_o he_o therefore_o paul_n send_v a_o challenge_n to_o sword_n and_o famine_n and_o persecution_n cry_v out_o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o though_o all_o thing_n be_v against_o we_o yet_o we_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n through_o he_o that_o love_v us._n so_o we_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v except_o we_o will_v fear_v to_o conquer_v and_o indeed_o the_o patent_n of_o our_o salvation_n run_v in_o those_o very_a word_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n without_o fear_n according_o david_n profess_v that_o because_o god_n be_v on_o his_o side_n he_o do_v not_o fear_v what_o man_n can_v do_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a if_o ten_o thousand_o enclose_v he_o and_o the_o true_a root_n of_o his_o invinciblenesse_n he_o discover_v in_o the_o eighteen_o psalm_n which_o be_v this_o because_o he_o be_v back_v and_o support_v by_o the_o deity_n and_o since_o i_o be_o now_o meet_v with_o he_o i_o will_v set_v he_o forth_o to_o challenge_v the_o ethnic_n to_o give_v we_o one_o like_o he_o that_o be_v a_o boy_n slay_v a_o bear_n a_o lion_n and_o a_o giant_n herein_o i_o think_v they_o will_v be_v far_o short_a of_o david_n and_o it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o they_o come_v to_o his_o thirty_o and_o his_o three_o and_o as_o the_o heathen_a magnanimity_n come_v short_a of_o david_n so_o i_o

far_o inferior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o philosopher_n but_o the_o doctor_n must_v know_v though_o he_o profess_v not_o to_o equivocate_v yet_o these_o be_v but_o equivocal_a divine_n and_o from_o his_o equivocal_a antecedent_n he_o shall_v never_o deduce_v a_o univocal_a consequent_a he_o may_v as_o well_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o a_o painter_n and_o behold_v there_o the_o picture_n of_o

but_o renounce_v these_o scrupulous_a and_o paint_a divine_n i_o will_v have_v david_n to_o be_v a_o true_a pattern_n of_o a_o true_a divine_a and_o let_v the_o doctor_n take_v his_o character_n

whatsoever_o he_o want_v now_o from_o this_o divine_a let_v the_o doctor_n fetch_v the_o pattern_n of_o divinity_n and_o see_v if_o he_o can_v ground_v thereon_o the_o baseness_n and_o dejection_n of_o his_o monkish_a superstition_n but_o the_o doctor_n epistle_n have_v forget_v the_o doctor_n own_o chapter_n of_o piety_n for_o the_o one_o confute_v the_o other_o while_o in_o the_o chapter_n he_o say_v tha●_n god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v as_o some_o terrible_a spectre_n who_o imagination_n fright_v man_n from_o he_o again_o that_o religion_n settle_v a_o man_n in_o peace_n and_o

wherein_o so_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v firm_a and_o settle_a he_o preserve_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o perfection_n now_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v more_o true_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o
