of_o the_o air_n the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n i_o can_v not_o imagine_v how_o these_o thing_n can_v give_v be_v to_o themselves_o nor_o how_o they_o shall_v come_v by_o nature_n nor_o how_o they_o

there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o nature_n only_o 9_o but_o notwithstanding_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o god_n that_o make_v all_o thing_n and_o man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n yet_o i_o consider_v that_o innocency_n of_o heart_n and_o a_o just_a upright_a spirit_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o reward_v it_o 10._o and_o that_o unrighteousness_n and_o

be_v loath_a to_o let_v go_v my_o integrity_n but_o keep_v close_o to_o it_o for_o as_o i_o have_v be_v innocent_a from_o my_o childhood_n to_o this_o day_n i_o be_v resolve_v to_o keep_v to_o it_o to_o the_o end_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o after_o death_n yet_o will_v i_o keep_v my_o heart_n upright_o and_o will_v do_v nothing_o to_o wound_v my_o conscience_n 12._o for_o i_o never_o have_v no_o gild_n of_o actual_a sin_n that_o do_v ever_o trouble_v i_o 13._o so_o with_o this_o resolution_n i_o do_v resolve_v to_o live_v in_o to_o do_v just_a between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o to_o keep_v from_o all_o actual_a sin_n as_o i_o ever_o have_v be_v and_o not_o to_o mind_v any_o religion_n more_o for_o i_o see_v all_o profession_n of_o religion_n in_o all_o man_n be_v vain_a and_o unsatisfactory_a to_o all_o man_n as_o it_o be_v to_o i_o 14._o so_o i_o give_v over_o all_o public_a prayer_n and_o hear_v and_o discourse_n about_o religion_n and_o live_v a_o honest_a and_o just_a natural_a life_n and_o i_o find_v more_o peace_n here_o then_o in_o all_o my_o religion_n and_o if_o there_o be_v anything_o either_o of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n after_o death_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n which_o i_o know_v not_o to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o i_o 15._o but_o i_o be_v in_o good_a hope_n at_o that_o time_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o after_o death_n but_o all_o happiness_n and_o punishment_n be_v in_o this_o life_n for_o i_o see_v a_o temporal_a punishment_n follow_v wickedness_n in_o this_o life_n to_o many_o 16._o and_o i_o see_v prosperity_n to_o those_o that_o be_v righteous_a even_o in_o this_o life_n so_o that_o i_o be_v in_o good_a hope_n all_o punishment_n and_o happiness_n will_v end_v in_o this_o life_n 17._o so_o i_o be_v resolve_v to_o keep_v
