how_o careless_a and_o negligent_a christian_a prince_n be_v grow_v as_o to_o the_o enlarge_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o those_o that_o have_v make_v some_o attempt_n that_o way_n have_v go_v about_o it_o with_o sinister_a design_n how_o other_o have_v rather_o spend_v their_o time_n at_o home_n in_o pick_v and_o feed_v quarrel_n in_o the_o church_n than_o advance_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n abroad_o and_o how_o the_o generality_n of_o christian_n have_v learn_v to_o mind_n the_o world_n more_o than_o heaven_n and_o be_v become_v lover_n of_o pleasure_n more_o than_o lover_n of_o god_n and_o the_o religion_n that_o be_v leave_v among_o they_o be_v either_o mix_v with_o idolatry_n or_o gross_a superstition_n or_o some_o other_o notorious_a abuse_n and_o be_v become_v a_o carnal_a rather_o than_o a_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o a_o formal_a rather_o than_o a_o rational_a service_n and_o how_o many_o of_o the_o heathen_n and_o mahometan_n exceed_v christian_n in_o virtue_n and_o morality_n and_o how_o that_o charity_n love_n and_o peace_n which_o be_v once_o the_o great_a character_n of_o christ_n disciple_n be_v banish_v and_o the_o seamless_a coat_n of_o christ_n tear_v in_o a_o thousand_o piece_n and_o those_o dissension_n cherish_v maintain_v encourage_v and_o how_o religion_n be_v become_v a_o mere_a politic_a thing_n i_o say_v he_o that_o shall_v consider_v all_o this_o will_v not_o wonder_v so_o much_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n as_o admire_v there_o be_v so_o many_o and_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v not_o consume_v or_o lead_v into_o captivity_n when_o they_o abuse_v and_o so_o gross_o abuse_v the_o best_a the_o noble_a and_o the_o most_o excellent_a religion_n and_o reproach_n and_o dishonour_n that_o god_n who_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o reveal_v it_o think_v sure_o they_o will_v reverence_v my_o son_n it_o be_v self-denial_n contempt_n of_o the_o world_n and_o invincible_a patience_n under_o injury_n stupendous_a charity_n and_o very_o great_a strictness_n of_o life_n that_o first_o spread_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o apostle_n have_v

neglect_v it_o be_v part_n of_o wisdom_n to_o punish_v man_n for_o their_o wilful_a neglect_n of_o those_o mean_n by_o suffer_v heathenism_n and_o mahometanism_n not_o only_o to_o continue_v

this_o seem_a inequality_n of_o providence_n god_n wisdom_n continue_v unspotted_a and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o give_v it_o the_o high_a encomium_n and_o celebration_n 3._o the_o lord_n reign_v
