vicious_a be_v a_o quality_n common_a to_o all_o sort_n of_o action_n not_o a_o special_a kind_n of_o action_n and_o yet_o a_o action_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o man_n as_o man_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v virtuous_a or_o vicious_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o action_n so_o proper_a to_o virtue_n and_o vice_n as_o not_o to_o include_v some_o other_o nature_n within_o itself_o fortitude_n require_v some_o action_n or_o passion_n to_o gouverne_v and_o wherein_o to_o exercise_v courage_n and_o stoutness_n temperance_n have_v pleasure_n to_o moderate_v as_o in_o meat_n and_o drink_v which_o belong_v so_o a_o other_o faculty_n justice_n have_v civil_a action_n to_o regulate_v which_o be_v determine_v by_o law_n and_o by_o custom_n and_o prudence_n be_v a_o common_a eye_n over_o all_o yet_o possible_n though_o the_o action_n be_v the_o same_o the_o science_n wherein_o they_o be_v concern_v may_v never_o the_o less_o be_v divers_a as_o the_o skill_n of_o music_n or_o of_o logic_n be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o science_n which_o teach_v to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o with_o moderation_n in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n so_o philosopher_n assign_v art_n to_o the_o one_o and_o the_o science_n of_o moral_a to_o the_o other_o wherefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o what_o in_o christian_a language_n we_o call_v religion_n be_v correspondent_a to_o that_o which_o the_o heathen_a wizard_n term_v moral_a philosophy_n correspondent_a i_o say_v or_o rather_o proportionable_a with_o the_o imparity_n of_o pagan_a darkness_n to_o the_o light_n of_o truth_n deliver_v we_o by_o almighty_a god_n for_o as_o the_o next_o world_n be_v altogether_o obscure_a and_o unknown_a to_o those_o old_a philosopher_n so_o be_v also_o by_o consequence_n the_o true_a end_n of_o human_a life_n and_o action_n and_o therefore_o all_o their_o skill_n and_o study_v fall_v short_a and_o be_v notable_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o least_o action_n perfect_a in_o the_o way_n of_o nature_n since_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o any_o action_n to_o be_v perfect_a in_o respect_n of_o nature_n which_o not_o only_o miss_v but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o aim_a at_o her_o true_a end_n and_o consequent_o be_v uncapable_a of_o reach_v to_o the_o circumstance_n due_a thereunto_o now_o that_o which_o i_o draw_v from_o the_o mention_n i_o have_v make_v of_o these_o philosopher_n be_v that_o reigion_n be_v in_o proportion_n to_o christian_a life_n what_o they_o do_v esteem_v moral_a philosophy_n to_o be_v towards_o a_o good_a or_o happy_a life_n in_o naeure_fw-fr the_o second_o reflection_n how_o religion_n be_v natural_o to_o be_v breed_v in_o mankind_n from_o these_o premise_n it_o follow_v clear_o that_o if_o man_n nature_n be_v in_o its_o due_a perfection_n religion_n will_v be_v as_o well_o know_v and_o with_o as_o much_o security_n assent_v to_o as_o be_v now_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o natural_a live_n for_o since_o according_a to_o the_o maxim_n of_o philosopher_n no_o one_o action_n can_v be_v perform_v by_o man_n as_o man_n but_o that_o it_o must_v be_v either_o virtuous_a or_o vicious_a and_o by_o consequence_n in_o every_o passage_n of_o his_o life_n a_o rule_n be_v necessary_a for_o he_o by_o which_o to_o square_v and_o regulate_v his_o proceed_n that_o it_o may_v be_v virtuous_a it_o be_v manifest_a that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o very_o secure_a and_o perfect_a in_o this_o discipline_n he_o must_v unavoidable_o fail_v and_o swerve_v from_o virtue_n and_o nature_n and_o consequent_o he_o will_v not_o be_v complete_a in_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n nor_o enjoy_v that_o perfect_a state_n which_o be_v conformable_a to_o his_o nature_n therefore_o enjoy_v the_o perfection_n of_o human_a nature_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o have_v all_o security_n of_o his_o belief_n and_o a_o complete_a rule_n for_o his_o action_n and_o consequent_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n aught_o to_o be_v as_o evident_a to_o he_o as_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n no_o less_o be_v evident_a out_o of_o the_o former_a part_n of_o our_o discourse_n for_o if_o religion_n be_v the_o skill_n of_o obtain_v beatitude_n or_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o birth_n and_o of_o our_o live_n in_o this_o world_n it_o follow_v that_o our_o very_a life_n here_o can_v not_o be_v so_o direct_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v unless_o we_o have_v the_o science_n and_o rule_n of_o religion_n and_o because_o the_o right_a direction_n of_o our_o life_n to_o eternal_a beatitude_n be_v of_o great_a value_n and_o worth_n than_o our_o continuation_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o science_n of_o attain_v beatitude_n aught_o to_o be_v more_o clear_a unto_o we_o than_o the_o skill_n of_o guide_v ourselves_o in_o our_o corporal_a life_n wherefore_o see_v that_o we_o find_v religion_n be_v not_o now_o so_o clear_a and_o certain_a unto_o we_o as_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o our_o natural_a and_o civil_a life_n we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o the_o right_a temper_n which_o human_a nature_n require_v and_o from_o hence_o one_o may_v argue_v that_o if_o the_o happy_a state_n in_o which_o our_o first_o parent_n be_v create_v have_v continue_v till_o their_o multiplication_n have_v fill_v the_o earth_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o other_o principle_n for_o gain_v so_o celestial_a bliss_n will_v have_v be_v as_o natural_a to_o they_o as_o the_o provide_n of_o meat_n clothes_n house_n and_o such_o natural_a accommodation_n be_v to_o we_o now_o and_o will_v have_v be_v derive_v from_o parent_n to_o child_n with_o the_o same_o connaturallnes_n and_o will_v have_v be_v embrace_v by_o the_o child_n with_o a_o like_a or_o great_a heat_n of_o affection_n and_o that_o the_o unhappy_a apple_n be_v the_o cause_n it_o be_v not_o now_o so_o as_o it_o likewise_o be_v of_o all_o other_o disorder_n in_o mankind_n whereof_o this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o if_o not_o the_o source_n of_o most_o of_o they_o as_o they_o who_o look_v into_o the_o matter_n will_v easy_o discern_v the_o due_a way_n therefore_o to_o attain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o religion_n be_v by_o nature_n such_o nature_n i_o mean_v as_o we_o may_v obscure_v to_o work_v in_o child_n when_o they_o learn_v their_o first_o language_n which_o as_o it_o be_v not_o effect_v without_o the_o deliver_n of_o they_o by_o their_o mother_n and_o nurse_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o without_o the_o endeavour_n of_o the_o little_a soul_n labour_v to_o express_v their_o thought_n and_o mind_n and_o nature_n have_v in_o she_o such_o principle_n that_o neither_o the_o one_o party_n nor_o the_o other_o can_v give_v over_o the_o pain_n till_o they_o have_v bring_v the_o effect_n to_o pass_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n in_o that_o happy_a state_n of_o innocency_n child_n will_v have_v be_v train_v up_o in_o godliness_n as_o perfect_o as_o in_o natural_a quality_n without_o any_o violent_a strain_n of_o they_o thereunto_o and_o as_o it_o be_v even_o before_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v awarie_z of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v clear_o deduce_v out_o of_o a_o axiom_n that_o philosopher_n do_v use_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o logic_n where_o they_o teach_v we_o logic_n ought_v to_o be_v learn_v before_o other_o science_n because_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n or_o method_n to_o obtain_v science_n by_o and_o consequent_o aught_o to_o be_v possess_v before_o one_o set_v himself_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o science_n so_o religion_n be_v the_o instrument_n and_o method_n to_o guide_v we_o for_o the_o well_o act_v of_o our_o life_n when_o once_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o age_n and_o use_v of_o discretion_n again_o since_o no_o action_n ought_v to_o be_v exempt_a from_o the_o direction_n of_o religion_n not_o even_o the_o very_a first_o it_o can_v not_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o religion_n ought_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o our_o heart_n even_o before_o reason_n neither_o do_v i_o speak_v this_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o shall_v have_v be_v only_o in_o the_o state_n of_o paradise_n but_o as_o what_o be_v connatural_a to_o we_o here_o and_o be_v practise_v by_o many_o pious_a mother_n who_o teach_v their_o child_n their_o prayer_n and_o stamp_n in_o their_o mind_n a_o deep_a conceit_n of_o god_n and_o of_o heaven_n before_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o judge_v in_o matter_n concerning_o temporal_a commodity_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o belong_v true_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v propagate_v in_o man_n kind_n by_o discipline_n and_o by_o delivery_n over_o from_o
