afford_v we_o abundant_a instance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o text_n that_o god_n do_v good_n i._o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n creation_n in_o which_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n

brief_o give_v you_o these_o four_o instance_n of_o it_o 1._o that_o whatsoever_o being_n be_v incapable_a of_o happiness_n in_o themselves_o he_o have_v make_v they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o happiness_n of_o other_o 2._o that_o he_o have_v give_v actual_a existence_n to_o all_o kind_n of_o being_n that_n be_v capable_a of_o any_o degree_n of_o happiness_n 3._o that_o he_o have_v furnish_v they_o with_o all_o the_o sufficient_a mean_n and_o ability_n to_o obtain_v the_o utmost_a happiness_n that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o 4._o that_o in_o all_o those_o being_n that_n be_v capable_a of_o happiness_n he_o have_v implant_v a_o natural_a disposition_n of_o do_v good_a to_o other_o 1._o that_o whatsoever_o being_n be_v incapable_a of_o happiness_n in_o themselves_o he_o have_v make_v they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o happiness_n of_o other_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o being_n that_n be_v capable_a of_o happiness_n can_v ever_o have_v be_v actual_o happy_a have_v not_o god_n create_v some_o being_n that_n be_v utter_o incapable_a of_o it_o for_o thus_o all_o the_o heavenly_a body_n the_o air_n and_o earth_n and_o fire_n and_o water_n be_v being_n utter_o incapable_a of_o happiness_n they_o be_v all_o inanimate_a and_o consequent_o void_a of_o all_o sense_n and_o perception_n either_o of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o they_o be_v indispensable_o necessary_a to_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o world_n of_o animate_v being_n that_n be_v capable_a of_o some_o degree_n of_o happiness_n thus_o for_o instance_n the_o happiness_n of_o all_o sublunary_a thing_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n of_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n and_o the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n depend_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n on_o those_o dead_a inanimate_v element_n and_o therefore_o if_o god_n have_v not_o create_v some_o being_n incapable_a of_o happiness_n there_o be_v many_o being_n that_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o must_v either_o have_v not_o be_v or_o have_v be_v miserable_a and_o therefore_o god_n have_v not_o only_o create_v these_o but_o out_o of_o his_o great_a goodness_n to_o his_o live_a creature_n he_o have_v create_v they_o in_o such_o a_o order_n as_o render_v they_o as_o subservient_fw-fr as_o they_o can_v be_v to_o their_o welfare_n and_o happiness_n thus_o the_o sun_n who_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o universal_a foster-father_n of_o all_o sublunary_a being_n though_o he_o feel_v no_o happiness_n himself_o be_v create_v by_o our_o great_a benefactor_n in_o such_o a_o form_n and_o put_v in_o such_o a_o course_n of_o motion_n as_o render_v he_o most_o serviceable_a to_o all_o those_o animate_v being_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o happiness_n for_o first_o he_o be_v create_v of_o a_o fiery_a substance_n by_o which_o he_o not_o only_o enlighten_v this_o low_a world_n but_o warm_v and_o cherish_v it_o with_o a_o fruitful_a and_o vigorous_a heat_n and_o then_o god_n have_v cast_v all_o its_o mighty_a substance_n into_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o perfect_a globe_n that_o so_o if_o the_o earth_n move_v round_o it_o it_o may_v be_v able_a to_o communicate_v the_o comfort_n of_o its_o light_n and_o heat_n to_o it_o throughout_o all_o the_o circle_n of_o its_o motion_n or_o that_o if_o it_o move_v round_o the_o earth_n it_o may_v by_o its_o figure_n which_o be_v most_o apt_a for_o motion_n be_v the_o better_o enable_v to_o walk_v his_o round_n about_o the_o world_n and_o so_o visit_v all_o his_o foster-children_n and_o refresh_v they_o with_o his_o light_n and_o warmth_n as_o oft_o as_o their_o necessity_n require_v and_o then_o for_o his_o situation_n in_o the_o world_n what_o a_o exact_a care_n have_v the_o good_a father_n of_o being_n take_a to_o place_v he_o in_o such_o a_o convenient_a distance_n as_o that_o he_o may_v neither_o be_v too_o near_o we_o nor_o too_o far_o from_o we_o both_o which_o will_v have_v be_v equal_o mischievous_a for_o have_v he_o be_v advance_v high_o in_o the_o heaven_n he_o will_v have_v leave_v we_o continual_o freeze_a and_o benight_a have_v he_o be_v thrust_v low_o he_o will_v have_v perpetual_o scorch_v we_o with_o the_o too_o near_a neighbourhood_n of_o his_o flame_n but_o from_o that_o orb_n wherein_o he_o be_v place_v all_o his_o aspect_n on_o we_o be_v benign_a and_o thanks_o be_v to_o a_o good_a god_n we_o neither_o want_v his_o heat_n or_o light_n nor_o be_v we_o scorch_v and_o dazzle_v by_o it_o for_o if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o the_o public_a good_a he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v fix_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o orb_n of_o the_o moon_n as_o where_o it_o now_o be_v and_o then_o as_o its_o nearness_n to_o we_o will_v have_v turn_v the_o world_n into_o a_o torrid_a zone_n so_o it_o will_v have_v
do_v not_o metamorphose_v free_a agent_n into_o necessary_a one_o that_o be_v because_o he_o do_v not_o unmake_v what_o he_o have_v make_v and_o subvert_v the_o law_n of_o his_o own_o creation_n or_o be_v it_o reasonable_a that_o we_o who_o be_v the_o only_a author_n of_o sin_n shall_v blame_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n for_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o for_o if_o sin_n be_v a_o evil_a it_o be_v a_o evil_a to_o we_o and_o consequent_o we_o be_v much_o more_o concern_v to_o prevent_v it_o than_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o if_o when_o we_o may_v we_o will_v not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v blame_v god_n for_o not_o force_v we_o to_o prevent_v it_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no._n so_o that_o all_o the_o quarrel_n we_o can_v have_v against_o god_n providence_n be_v only_o this_o that_o it_o do_v not_o tie_v our_o hand_n and_o fetter_v our_o liberty_n in_o the_o chain_n of_o a_o adamantine_a necessity_n that_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o undo_v his_o own_o workmanship_n and_o thereby_o confess_v himself_o oversee_v in_o his_o creation_n of_o we_o when_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o reason_n for_o it_o for_o i_o beseech_v you_o what_o hurt_n be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o be_v make_v free_a agent_n and_o leave_v to_o their_o own_o choice_n whether_o they_o will_v be_v happy_a or_o miserable_a and_o if_o it_o be_v no_o fault_n at_o all_o for_o god_n to_o make_v we_o so_o what_o reason_n have_v we_o to_o blame_v he_o for_o continue_v we_o what_o he_o make_v we_o if_o therefore_o while_o he_o continue_v we_o free_a agent_n we_o will_v needs_o choose_v what_o be_v evil_a and_o misimploy_v the_o talon_n of_o our_o natural_a liberty_n the_o fault_n be_v we_o and_o not_o god_n and_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o for_o all_o the_o bad_a consequent_n of_o it_o and_o since_o not_o only_a sin_n but_o most_o of_o the_o other_o evil_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n proceed_v from_o our_o ill_a use_n of_o our_o own_o liberty_n we_o ought_v in_o all_o reason_n to_o charge_v they_o upon_o ourselves_o and_o not_o upon_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n 2_o lie_v that_o many_o thing_n seem_v evil_a to_o we_o in_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n that_o be_v not_o so_o in_o themselves_o by_o reason_n that_o we_o common_o take_v false_a measure_n of_o good_a and_o evil._n we_o think_v it_o a_o very_a great_a evil_n for_o instance_n that_o good_a man_n be_v not_o bless_v with_o great_a plenty_n and_o abundance_n and_o that_o bad_a man_n be_v because_o we_o imagine_v plenty_n and_o abundance_n to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a good_a and_o the_o contrary_a a_o very_a formidable_a evil_n and_o this_o make_v we_o blame_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n because_o we_o see_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n so_o promiscuous_o distribute_v without_o any_o discrimination_n of_o person_n whereas_o in_o reality_n plenty_n and_o abundance_n approach_v near_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n than_o of_o a_o very_a great_a and_o desirable_a good_n for_o if_o we_o consult_v our_o own_o experience_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o worldly_a good_n be_v just_a what_o we_o make_v they_o and_o that_o they_o do_v as_o common_o prove_v plague_n as_o blessing_n to_o the_o owner_n of_o they_o that_o they_o entangle_v their_o affection_n ensnare_v their_o innocence_n disturb_v their_o peace_n provoke_v and_o pamper_v their_o extravagant_a lust_n and_o betray_v they_o first_o into_o luxury_n then_o into_o gout_n or_o dropsy_n catarrh_n or_o consumption_n and_o these_o most_o common_o prove_v the_o effect_n of_o outward_a abundance_n so_o that_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v almost_o of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n and_o do_v good_a or_o hurt_v to_o we_o according_a as_o we_o use_v and_o improve_v it_o and_o threfore_o though_o god_n sometime_o suffer_v good_a man_n to_o want_v and_o bad_a man_n to_o enjoy_v it_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o quarrel_v at_o it_o for_o he_o understand_v the_o just_a value_n of_o thing_n though_o we_o do_v not_o he_o know_v that_o the_o best_a of_o worldly_a thing_n be_v bad_a enough_o to_o be_v throw_v away_o upon_o the_o worst_a of_o

the_o most_o despicable_a person_n so_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v that_o he_o set_v no_o great_a value_n upon_o they_o since_o he_o concern_v himself_o no_o more_o in_o their_o distribution_n for_o why_o shall_v he_o partake_v in_o the_o error_n of_o vulgar_a opinion_n by_o express_v himself_o so_o regardful_a of_o these_o trifle_n as_o to_o put_v they_o in_o golden_a scale_n and_o weigh_v they_o out_o to_o mankind_n by_o grain_n and_o scruple_n 3_o lie_v that_o many_o other_o thing_n seem_v evil_a to_o we_o in_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n that_o be_v not_o so_o mere_o because_o we_o often_o mistake_v bad_a man_n for_o good_a and_o good_a man_n for_o bad_a for_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o that_o observation_n upon_o which_o we_o ground_n our_o

it_o for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o general_o we_o pity_v the_o miserable_a and_o envy_v the_o prosperous_a and_o these_o passion_n of_o we_o do_v common_o bribe_v our_o judgement_n and_o

who_o we_o love_v we_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v well_o of_o and_o if_o we_o think_v well_o of_o they_o whether_o we_o have_v reason_n for_o it_o or_o no_o we_o conclude_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o fond_a of_o they_o as_o we_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o who_o we_o envy_v we_o always_o hate_v and_o those_o who_o we_o hate_v we_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v ill_o of_o and_o if_o we_o think_v ill_o of_o they_o we_o think_v that_o god_n be_v oblige_v to_o think_v so_o too_o and_o because_o we_o be_v so_o unreasonable_o incline_v by_o our_o passion_n to_o pass_v such_o false_a judgement_n upon_o man_n be_v it_o fit_a that_o we_o shall_v quarrel_v at_o god_n because_o he_o do_v not_o judge_v as_o unreasonable_o as_o ourselves_o or_o because_o he_o do_v not_o reward_n and_o

to_o judge_v of_o man_n not_o by_o what_o they_o appear_v but_o by_o what_o they_o real_o be_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o even_o in_o this_o life_n it_o fare_v best_a with_o the_o best_a and_o worst_a with_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n but_o since_o we_o be_v not_o competent_a judge_n of_o this_o matter_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o care_n of_o reproach_v the_o providence_n of_o

accomplishment_n that_o can_v render_v a_o creature_n like_o he_o in_o that_o which_o render_v he_o so_o infinite_o lovely_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n as_o for_o omnipotence_n omniscence_n eternity_n and_o omnipresence_n they_o be_v amiable_a only_o as_o they_o be_v crown_v with_o infinite_a righteousness_n and_o goodness_n and_o abstract_v from_o these_o they_o have_v nothing_o of_o form_n or_o

their_o scope_n and_o rule_n for_o without_o these_o they_o be_v only_o the_o perfection_n of_o devil_n but_o good_a and_o righteous_a devil_n be_v contradiction_n in_o term_n since_o therefore_o it_o be_v righteousness_n only_o that_o can_v stamp_v we_o godlike_a creature_n god_n must_v needs_o love_v it_o out_o of_o that_o natural_a inclination_n which_o he_o and_o all_o other_o being_n have_v to_o propagate_v his_o own_o likeness_n for_o without_o righteousness_n no_o creature_n can_v resemble_v he_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o love_v to_o be_v resemble_v as_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v because_o he_o love_v himself_o he_o must_v love_v that_o which_o give_v the_o resemblance_n and_o this_o and_o this_o only_o be_v righteousness_n and_o true_a goodness_n 4_o thly_a and_o last_o god_n love_v righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v the_o spring_n or_o cause_n from_o whence_o the_o high_a happiness_n of_o his_o creature_n be_v derive_v for_o he_o love_v being_n more_a or_o less_o according_a to_o their_o intrinsic_a worth_n and_o value_n and_o doubtless_o of_o all_o order_n of_o being_n there_o be_v none_o so_o valuable_a as_o the_o rational_a and_o therefore_o if_o he_o love_v these_o most_o he_o can_v but_o be_v desirous_a of_o their_o happiness_n and_o if_o he_o be_v he_o can_v but_o love_v that_o which_o be_v the_o spring_n and_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v universal_a righteousness_n for_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o happiness_n must_v necessary_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o perfection_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o our_o nature_n be_v rational_a the_o perfection_n of_o they_o must_v consist_v in_o a_o perfect_a compliance_n of_o all_o their_o power_n and_o faculty_n with_o the_o eternal_a rule_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o universal_a righteousness_n for_o doubtless_o the_o high_a perfection_n of_o reasonable_a faculty_n be_v to_o act_v most_o reasonable_o and_o then_o they_o act_v most_o reasonable_o when_o they_o govern_v themselves_o by_o the_o unchangeable_a law_n of_o righteousness_n righteousness_n therefore_o be_v our_o perfection_n as_o we_o be_v reasonable_a being_n must_v necessary_o be_v the_o spring_n and_o principle_n of_o our_o happiness_n and_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v happy_a without_o it_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v well_o in_o sickness_n or_o at_o ease_n under_o pain_n for_o to_o the_o happiness_n of_o every_o nature_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v happy_a two_o thing_n be_v requisite_a first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o disorder_n within_o itself_o that_o its_o part_n and_o faculty_n be_v not_o distemper_v nor_o their_o vigour_n and_o activity_n lessen_v and_o abate_v second_o that_o all_o its_o faculty_n be_v employ_v and_o exercise_v about_o such_o object_n as_o be_v most_o grateful_a and_o suitable_a to_o their_o nature_n upon_o both_o which_o account_v righteousness_n be_v most_o necessary_a to_o the_o happiness_n of_o every_o reasonable_a nature_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v
righteousness_n that_o rectify_v all_o their_o disorder_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o their_o native_a and_o most_o genuine_a temper_v no_o reasonable_a nature_n be_v well_o and_o in_o health_n so_o long_o as_o it_o act_v unreasonable_o and_o unrighteous_o it_o be_v pulse_n beat_v disorderly_a while_o it_o beat_v either_o fast_o or_o slow_a than_o right_a reason_n prescribe_v while_o it_o act_v either_o on_o this_o side_n or_o beyond_o the_o medium_fw-la in_o the_o defect_n or_o excess_n of_o virtue_n and_o whilst_o it_o be_v thus_o sick_a and_o distemper_a it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v happy_a but_o now_o by_o act_v righteous_o it_o revive_v and_o grow_v well_o again_o it_o throw_v off_o those_o unreasonable_a and_o consequent_o unnatural_a inclination_n that_o clog_v and_o obstruct_v all_o its_o regular_a motion_n and_o by_o degree_n recover_v to_o the_o native_a temper_n and_o complexion_n of_o a_o rational_a nature_n and_o when_o once_o it_o have_v perfect_o discharge_v itself_o of_o all_o those_o unreasonable_a and_o unrighteous_a humour_n that_o disorder_a it_o it_o will_v then_o live_v in_o perfect_a health_n and_o ease_n and_o all_o its_o languish_a faculty_n be_v restore_v to_o their_o natural_a vigour_n and_o activity_n and_o then_o second_o as_o righteousness_n recover_v we_o from_o all_o the_o distemper_n of_o our_o nature_n so_o it_o employ_v and_o exercise_n our_o faculty_n about_o such_o object_n as_o be_v most_o grateful_a and_o suitable_a to_o they_o for_o truth_n and_o true_a goodness_n be_v the_o only_a object_n that_o can_v gratify_v a_o reasonable_a nature_n act_v reasonable_o and_o about_o these_o do_v righteousness_n natural_o dispose_v our_o faculty_n to_o employ_v and_o exercise_v themselves_o it_o dispose_v our_o understand_n to_o contemplate_v upon_o and_o our_o will_n to_o embrace_v and_o choose_v that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o truth_n and_o goodness_n for_o every_o thing_n love_v its_o own_o like_a and_o what_o it_o love_v it_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v on_o so_o that_o when_o we_o be_v righteous_a as_o god_n be_v we_o shall_v natural_o love_v he_o because_o he_o be_v like_o we_o and_o then_o our_o love_n to_o he_o will_v still_o incline_v our_o thought_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o his_o beauty_n and_o glory_n and_o so_o the_o more_o righteous_a we_o grow_v the_o more_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o and_o the_o more_o we_o love_v he_o the_o more_o our_o understanding_n will_v be_v incline_v to_o meditate_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o more_o and_o more_o till_o we_o arrive_v at_o that_o city_n of_o vision_n where_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o face_n to_o face_n and_o be_v eternal_o ravish_v with_o the_o love_n and_o contemplation_n of_o he_o thus_o righteousness_n you_o see_v be_v the_o spring_n and_o cause_n of_o our_o happiness_n and_o be_v so_o he_o must_v needs_o love_v it_o who_o above_o all_o thing_n desire_n and_o solicit_v our_o welfare_n for_o he_o be_v perfect_o happy_a from_o himself_o can_v need_v our_o misery_n to_o augment_v his_o happiness_n and_o therefore_o can_v desire_v it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o must_v desire_v our_o happiness_n out_o of_o that_o infinite_a complacency_n and_o delight_n which_o he_o take_v in_o his_o own_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o who_o delight_n and_o love_n be_v always_o found_v on_o the_o same_o motive_n shall_v delight_v in_o contrary_a object_n in_o different_a subject_n in_o happiness_n in_o himself_o and_o misery_n in_o his_o creature_n and_o if_o he_o desire_v our_o happiness_n as_o most_o certain_o he_o do_v how_o can_v he_o forbear_v to_o love_v and_o take_v complacency_n in_o that_o which_o contribute_v so_o much_o to_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v upon_o what_o reason_n and_o principle_n it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v so_o firm_a a_o lover_n of_o righteousness_n 2._o i_o now_o proceed_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o show_v you_o what_o indication_n he_o have_v give_v the_o world_n of_o his_o steady_a affection_n and_o goodwill_n to_o righteousness_n now_o these_o though_o they_o be_v many_o and_o almost_o infinite_a may_v be_v reduce_v to_o two_o general_a head_n 1_o sy_n the_o natural_a indication_n 2_o dly_a the_o supernatural_a one_o of_o both_o which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o some_o brief_a account_n 1._o god_n have_v give_v we_o sundry_a natural_a indication_n of_o his_o love_n of_o righteousness_n all_o which_o i_o shall_v reduce_v to_o these_o four_o head_n 1._o he_o have_v imprint_v a_o law_n upon_o our_o nature_n which_o approve_v of_o righteous_a action_n and_o condemn_v their_o contrary_n 2._o he_o have_v endue_v our_o mind_n with_o a_o grateful_a sense_n of_o righteous_a action_n and_o a_o natural_a horror_n of_o their_o contrary_n 3._o he_o have_v couple_v good_a effect_n to_o all_o righteous_a action_n and_o bad_a one_o to_o their_o contrary_n 4._o he_o have_v implant_v in_o we_o natural_a aboding_n of_o the_o future_a reward_n of_o righteous_a action_n and_o the_o future_a punishment_n of_o their_o contrary_n 1_o sy_n one_o indication_n of_o god_n love_n of_o righteousness_n be_v his_o imprint_v a_o law_n upon_o our_o nature_n which_o approve_v all_o righteous_a action_n and_o disapprove_v their_o contrary_n and_o this_o law_n be_v that_o natural_a reason_n which_o be_v either_o connate_a with_o our_o understanding_n or_o do_v immediate_o result_v from_o the_o righteous_a use_n and_o exercise_n of_o it_o for_o such_o be_v the_o frame_n of_o our_o understanding_n that_o whensoever_o we_o impartial_o reason_n about_o thing_n we_o be_v force_v to_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o without_o offer_v infinite_a violence_n to_o our_o faculty_n we_o can_v never_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n or_o to_o reverence_v he_o to_o lie_v or_o speak_v truth_n to_o honour_v our_o parent_n or_o to_o scorn_n or_o despiteful_o use_v they_o be_v indifferent_a thing_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o our_o reason_n we_o immediate_o discern_v such_o a_o essential_a difference_n between_o they_o as_o forces_z we_o to_o condemn_v the_o one_o and_o approve_v the_o other_o and_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o as_o for_o the_o great_a stroke_n of_o unrighteousness_n they_o have_v as_o much_o the_o universal_a judgement_n of_o our_o reason_n against_o they_o as_o any_o false_a conclusion_n in_o the_o mathematics_n whereas_o the_o goodness_n of_o their_o contrary_a virtue_n be_v as_o universal_o acknowledge_v by_o we_o as_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o first_o principle_n of_o philosophy_n god_n therefore_o have_v create_v we_o with_o such_o a_o faculty_n as_o do_v so_o necessary_o pass_v such_o a_o contrary_a judgement_n upon_o righteous_a and_o unrighteous_a action_n we_o must_v either_o say_v that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o judge_v false_o or_o else_o acknowledge_v this_o judgement_n to_o be_v his_o as_o well_o as_o the_o faculty_n that_o make_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v then_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a indication_n of_o his_o love_n of_o righteousness_n that_o he_o have_v so_o frame_v our_o faculty_n that_o without_o apparent_a

what_o he_o have_v dictate_v to_o they_o and_o so_o what_o they_o say_v he_o say_v who_o have_v put_v his_o word_n into_o their_o mouth_n and_o have_v make_v they_o speak_v it_o our_o faculty_n therefore_o be_v god_n oracle_n whatsoever_o they_o free_o and_o natural_o pronounce_v be_v as_o much_o his_o word_n as_o any_o outward_a revelation_n since_o therefore_o they_o so_o unanimous_o pronounce_v their_o approbation_n of_o righteousness_n it_o be_v as_o plain_a a_o signification_n of_o god_n love_n and_o approbation_n of_o it_o as_o if_o he_o himself_o shall_v immediate_o pronounce_v it_o by_o a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n 2_o lie_n another_o indication_n of_o god_n love_n of_o righteousness_n be_v his_o indue_a our_o mind_n with_o a_o grateful_a sense_n of_o righteous_a
