one_o or_o two_o short_a chapter_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o mr._n smith_n discourse_n concern_v these_o distemper_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v what_o i_o have_v say_v prove_v with_o more_o demonstration_n than_o you_o can_v gainsay_v and_o with_o more_o plainness_n and_o perspecuity_n than_o i_o be_o confident_a you_o will_v wish_v to_o see_v but_o beside_o the_o schism_n and_o enthusiasm_n the_o bloody_a war_n which_o you_o former_o make_v in_o the_o state_n under_o pretence_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n have_v give_v many_o inconsiderate_a man_n occasion_n to_o suspect_v that_o all_o religion_n like_o that_o of_o most_o of_o your_o leader_n be_v but_o a_o politic_a engine_n which_o man_n use_v to_o make_v themselves_o popular_a and_o powerful_a that_o they_o may_v afterward_o act_v with_o good_a colour_n whatsoever_o their_o interest_n shall_v suggest_v and_o furthermore_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a pretender_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o with_o respect_n to_o magistrate_n teach_v nothing_o but_o to_o obey_v or_o suffer_v shall_v notwithstanding_o preach_v up_o rebellion_n against_o their_o rightful_a prince_n fight_v he_o from_o field_n to_o field_n remove_v he_o from_o prison_n to_o prison_n and_o at_o last_o most_o barbarous_o put_v he_o to_o death_n be_v such_o a_o absurdity_n against_o the_o principle_n of_o right_a reason_n so_o repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o our_o own_o nation_n and_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o peaceable_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o beside_o the_o atheist_n it_o have_v make_v it_o have_v and_o ever_o will_v constrain_v man_n of_o honest_a principle_n and_o just_a resentment_n to_o persecute_v you_o with_o satyr_n and_o exclamation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o have_v not_o here_o present_v that_o tragical_a scene_n of_o the_o king_n murder_n but_o that_o i_o have_v have_v so_o many_o unpleasant_a occasion_n to_o hear_v our_o nation_n reproach_v with_o the_o scandal_n and_o dishonour_n of_o that_o inhuman_a fact_n particular_o it_o be_v my_o

but_o after_o a_o little_a recollection_n they_o cease_v to_o wonder_v say_v in_o every_o company_n as_o we_o pass_v along_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a that_o the_o english_a devil_n shall_v do_v this_o who_o former_o murder_v their_o king_n and_o another_o time_n it_o be_v my_o ill_a luck_n also_o to_o be_v at_o the_o same_o place_n when_o the_o london_n gazet_n bring_v we_o the_o news_n that_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n have_v take_v into_o consideration_n the_o growth_n of_o atheism_n in_o our_o nation_n whereupon_o some_o french_a gentleman_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n serious_o inquire_v of_o i_o the_o cause_n of_o so_o much_o atheism_n among_o such_o a_o think_v and_o solid_a people_n i_o assign_v the_o same_o reason_n which_o i_o have_v write_v above_o beside_o some_o other_o not_o so_o fit_a to_o be_v mention_v as_o the_o most_o probable_a cause_n thereof_o and_o as_o i_o hope_v i_o do_v not_o misinform_v they_o so_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o do_v not_o unjust_o charge_v you_o in_o any_o particular_a especial_o with_o the_o murder_n of_o the_o king_n for_o there_o be_v no_o accessary_n in_o the_o murder_n of_o that_o sacred_a person_n neither_o be_v it_o the_o last_o stroke_n only_o that_o fell_v the_o royal_a oak_n but_o you_o and_o the_o independent_o like_o the_o two_o sacrilegious_a priest_n of_o jupiter_n be_v equal_o guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n the_o one_o for_o bind_v the_o direful_a victim_n and_o the_o other_o for_o put_v the_o knife_n to_o his_o throat_n but_o to_o be_v short_a where_o i_o be_o so_o unacceptable_a i_o will_v conclude_v my_o argument_n with_o a_o fable_n a_o principal_a ship_n which_o for_o many_o year_n have_v be_v sovereign_a of_o the_o sea_n be_v at_o last_o attack_v by_o a_o tempestuous_a wind_n which_o the_o

the_o very_a same_o instant_n she_o dash_v upon_o the_o rock_n the_o wind_n cease_v and_o be_v afterward_o curse_v by_o the_o seaman_n for_o the_o wrack_n of_o the_o royal_a charles_n for_o so_o the_o capital_a vessel_n be_v call_v answer_v you_o charge_v i_o most_o unjust_o my_o friend_n it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o the_o rock_n as_o you_o see_v that_o split_v your_o ship_n the_o moral_a of_o this_o parable_n be_v very_o obvious_a and_o if_o the_o application_n thereof_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o i_o have_v write_v may_v conduce_v to_o awaken_v your_o conscience_n and_o reclaim_v you_o from_o schism_n i_o shall_v think_v my_o pain_n well_o bestow_v but_o if_o you_o and_o your_o seditious_a brethren_n will_v still_o persevere_v to_o assault_v the_o church_n on_o one_o hand_n as_o fast_o as_o the_o romish_a priest_n do_v undermine_v she_o on_o the_o other_o her_o day_n be_v like_a to_o be_v but_o few_o and_o evil_a and_o except_o god_n incline_v the_o heart_n of_o our_o

both_o alike_a desire_n and_o expect_v how_o numerous_a you_o be_v the_o world_n can_v guess_v and_o if_o the_o account_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o the_o father_n of_o intelligence_n of_o
