enmity_n and_o hatred_n she_o have_v towards_o it_o cause_v a_o anxious_a contraction_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o compression_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n which_o produce_v a_o chillness_n in_o the_o

produce_v a_o very_a doleful_a passion_n in_o the_o body_n such_o as_o pinch_v the_o heart_n congeal_v the_o blood_n and_o cause_v a_o ungrateful_a languor_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o by_o

when_o the_o soul_n be_v joy_v and_o delight_v with_o any_o religious_a object_n or_o exercise_n by_o that_o sweet_a complacency_n she_o enjoy_v within_o herself_o there_o be_v produce_v a_o most_o

do_v more_o vigorous_o encourage_v she_o to_o pursue_v those_o object_n and_o continue_v those_o exercise_n from_o whence_o her_o original_a joy_n proceed_v so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o perpetual_a intercourse_n there_o be_v between_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n there_o be_v a_o excellent_a use_n even_o of_o our_o sensitive_a passion_n in_o religion_n and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o a_o gentle_a temper_n of_o body_n who_o passion_n be_v soft_a and_o easy_a and_o ductile_a and_o apt_a to_o be_v commove_v with_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v of_o great_a advantage_n in_o our_o religious_a exercise_n because_o whensoever_o it_o be_v religious_o affect_v its_o passion_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o intend_v and_o quicken_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o render_v they_o more_o vigorous_a and_o active_a but_o far_o than_o this_o they_o be_v of_o no_o account_n at_o all_o in_o religion_n for_o as_o there_o be_v many_o man_n who_o be_v sincere_o good_a that_o yet_o can_v raise_v their_o sensitive_a passion_n in_o their_o religious_a exercise_n that_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a for_o their_o sin_n and_o yet_o can_v weep_v for_o they_o that_o do_v entire_o love_v god_n and_o delight_n in_o his_o service_n and_o yet_o can_v put_v their_o blood_n and_o spirit_n into_o the_o enravish_a emotion_n of_o sensitive_a love_n and_o joy_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v many_o gross_a hypocrite_n that_o have_v not_o one_o dram_n of_o true_a piety_n in_o they_o who_o yet_o in_o their_o religious_a exercise_n can_v put_v themselves_o into_o wondrous_a transport_v of_o bodily_a passion_n that_o can_v pour_v out_o their_o confession_n in_o flood_n of_o tear_n and_o cause_v their_o heart_n to_o dilate_v into_o rapture_n of_o sensitive_a love_n and_o their_o spirit_n to_o tickle_v they_o into_o ecstasy_n of_o joy_n which_o be_v pure_o to_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o different_a temper_n of_o man_n body_n some_o temper_n be_v natural_o so_o calm_a and_o sedate_v as_o that_o they_o be_v scarce_o capable_a of_o be_v disturb_v into_o a_o passion_n other_o again_o so_o soft_a and_o tender_a and_o impressible_a that_o the_o most_o frivolous_a fancy_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v a_o commotion_n in_o they_o and_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o some_o people_n can_v weep_v most_o hearty_o at_o the_o misfortune_n of_o lover_n in_o play_n and_o romance_n and_o as_o much_o rejoice_v at_o their_o good_a success_n though_o they_o know_v that_o both_o be_v fiction_n and_o mere_a idea_n of_o fancy_n whereas_o other_o can_v scarce_a shed_v a_o tear_n or_o raise_v a_o sensitive_a joy_n at_o the_o real_a calamity_n or_o prosperity_n of_o a_o friend_n who_o yet_o they_o love_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o these_o man_n can_v possible_o do_v their_o feign_a and_o romantic_a hero_n and_o yet_o alas_o how_o very_a often_o do_v man_n place_v the_o whole_a of_o their_o religion_n in_o these_o mechanical_a motion_n of_o their_o blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o think_v they_o be_v exceed_o good_a if_o they_o can_v but_o chafe_v themselves_o into_o a_o devout_a passion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n of_o godliness_n that_o their_o blood_n and_o spirit_n be_v easy_o move_v by_o religious_a idea_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v elevate_v or_o deject_v according_a as_o sad_a or_o joyous_a argument_n be_v pathetical_o represent_v to_o their_o fancy_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o argument_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o to_o they_o though_o that_o which_o be_v deliver_v for_o argument_n be_v mere_a gibberish_n and_o insignificant_a cant_v that_o have_v nothing_o of_o argument_n or_o reality_n in_o it_o only_o some_o empty_a fiction_n be_v convey_v to_o their_o fancy_n by_o a_o musical_a voice_n in_o fanciful_a expression_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v affect_v by_o it_o and_o it_o raise_v a_o sensible_a perturbation_n in_o their_o blood_n and_o spirit_n they_o present_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v a_o income_n of_o god_n and_o a_o infallible_a token_n of_o his_o special_a love_n and_o favour_n to_o they_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o godliness_n and_o a_o mark_n of_o god_n favourite_n to_o be_v affect_v with_o nonsense_n feather_v with_o soft_a and_o delicate_a phrase_n and_o point_v with_o pathetic_a accent_n thus_o there_o be_v some_o man_n who_o believe_v themselves_o to_o be_v convert_v mere_o because_o they_o have_v run_v through_o all_o the_o stage_n of_o passion_n in_o that_o new_a road_n of_o artificial_a conversion_n which_o some_o modern_a author_n have_v find_v out_o for_o according_a as_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n have_v be_v describe_v by_o some_o modern_a author_n it_o be_v whole_o place_v in_o so_o many_o different_a scene_n of_o passion_n for_o first_o a_o man_n must_v pass_v under_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n that_o be_v he_o must_v be_v frighten_v into_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o lose_a and_o undo_v condition_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n he_o must_v grieve_v bitter_o for_o his_o sin_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o ruin_n and_o perdition_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o they_o call_v conviction_n and_o compunction_n from_o hence_o he_o must_v proceed_v into_o the_o evangelical_n state_n and_o pass_v into_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n the_o entrance_n of_o which_o be_v contrition_n or_o humiliation_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o ingenuous_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n proceed_v from_o a_o passionate_a sense_n of_o god_n love_n and_o goodness_n and_o then_o have_v act_v over_o all_o these_o mournful_a passion_n he_o embrace_v and_o lay_v hold_v upon_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o conclude_a scene_n and_o be_v altogether_o make_v up_o of_o joy_n and_o exultation_n and_o so_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n be_v finish_v now_o though_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o deny_v but_o to_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o habitual_a sinner_n it_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v convince_v of_o his_o danger_n and_o deep_o affect_v with_o sorrow_n and_o remorse_n for_o his_o folly_n and_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o be_v so_o understand_v as_o if_o i_o intend_v to_o discountenance_v these_o holy_a passion_n which_o be_v such_o necessary_a introduction_n to_o a_o sincere_a conversion_n yet_o neither_o do_v i_o doubt_v but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o melancholy_a fancy_n attend_v with_o soft_a and_o easy_a passion_n a_o man_n may_v perform_v all_o these_o part_n of_o conversion_n and_o yet_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o for_o many_o time_n these_o passion_n be_v only_o the_o necessary_a effect_n of_o a_o disease_a fancy_n and_o be_v altogether_o as_o mechanical_a as_o the_o beat_n of_o our_o pulse_n or_o the_o circulation_n of_o our_o blood_n and_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o conversion_n which_o whole_o consist_v of_o bodily_a passion_n do_v common_o both_o begin_v and_o end_v with_o some_o languish_a distemper_n of_o the_o body_n in_o which_o the_o fancy_n be_v overclouded_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n retard_v by_o the_o prevalence_n
