the_o natural_a man_n know_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v he_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v but_o sure_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v but_o carnal_a man_n therefore_o in_o such_o thing_n ignorant_a man_n and_o against_o such_o thing_n malicious_a man_n as_o have_v be_v know_v be_v also_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n know_v to_o be_v of_o the_o

and_o knowledge_n in_o such_o thing_n of_o who_o it_o may_v be_v say_v and_o also_o prove_v as_o have_v appear_v by_o their_o practice_n that_o they_o aim_v more_o at_o their_o own_o worldly_a private_a and_o self-interest_n then_o at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o good_a of_o other_o people_n and_o which_o be_v well_o know_v have_v be_v and_o glad_o will_v be_v persecutor_n of_o those_o that_o live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o they_o in_o their_o opinion_n as_o have_v appear_v by_o some_o of_o they_o which_o both_o i_o and_o other_o have_v already_o know_v by_o experience_n yet_o i_o love_v they_o still_o in_o the_o same_o love_n as_o i_o love_v all_o other_o and_o will_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n as_o of_o all_o other_o though_o they_o may_v not_o so_o love_v i_o but_o hate_v i_o for_o that_o they_o never_o see_v or_o hear_v from_o i_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o they_o proceed_v against_o i_o from_o the_o malice_n they_o have_v to_o i_o and_o not_o any_o thing_n know_v by_o i_o for_o any_o blasphemy_n there_o be_v in_o it_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v none_o neither_o can_v any_o be_v find_v either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n as_o first_o for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n write_v against_o it_o however_o all_o blasphemy_n on_o god_n part_n be_v forgive_v and_o christ_n have_v already_o answer_v for_o it_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o man_n and_o second_o for_o the_o law_n of_o man_n or_o any_o late_a act_n of_o parliament_n make_v against_o blasphemy_n i_o be_o also_o sure_a that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o particular_a contain_v in_o this_o bill_n that_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o act_n as_o for_o the_o first_o and_o last_o particular_n in_o the_o bill_n that_o christ_n shall_v die_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o people_n and_o that_o everlasting_a life_n shall_v end_v in_o this_o life_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o make_v in_o the_o act._n then_o for_o the_o second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o heaven_n and_o hell_n but_o what_o be_v in_o man_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o it_o neither_o as_o these_o word_n be_v lay_v down_o and_o express_v in_o the_o bill_n for_o the_o a●●_n say_v if_o any_o shall_v avow_v and_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o heaven_n and_o hell_n than_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n according_a to_o that_o act_n but_o in_o this_o bill_n or_o in_o these_o word_n before_o mention_v there_o be_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n acknowledge_v though_o not_o such_o a_o one_o as_o some_o man_n will_v have_v but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v in_o man_n which_o be_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o some_o man_n experience_n yet_o not_o that_o any_o other_o be_v deny_v which_o by_o other_o may_v be_v prove_v and_o there_o be_v in_o the_o bill_n a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n acknowledge_v it_o therefore_o come_v not_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o act_n and_o then_o can_v be_v find_v guilty_a by_o the_o act._n again_o the_o witness_n to_o the_o bill_n do_v confess_v that_o these_o word_n fall_v in_o by_o way_n of_o dispute_n or_o conference_n after_o sermon_n and_o be_v not_o speak_v in_o sermon_n therefore_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v avow_v and_o affirm_v as_o the_o judge_n do_v very_o well_o make_v it_o appear_v in_o the_o trial_n and_o which_o if_o the_o honest_a behaviour_n of_o the_o juries_n have_v extend_v so_o far_o they_o before_o they_o have_v condemn_v it_o shall_v have_v examine_v whether_o the_o word_n in_o the_o bill_n do_v reach_v any_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o no_o that_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v
