i_o have_v be_v now_o recommend_v especial_o under_o the_o two_o last_o head_n be_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o rule_n or_o direction_n to_o any_o hypochondriack_a or_o melancholy_a person_n or_o such_o as_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v over-scrupulous_a about_o their_o action_n for_o indeed_o to_o such_o person_n it_o be_v the_o worst_a advice_n that_o can_v be_v give_v for_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o doubt_v and_o boggle_v at_o every_o thing_n be_v it_o never_o so_o innocent_a and_o free_a from_o blame_n they_o dare_v not_o eat_v a_o hearty_a meal_n for_o fear_n of_o be_v intemperate_a and_o for_o fear_n of_o not_o be_v devout_a enough_o they_o exhaust_v their_o spirit_n and_o spoil_v their_o health_n through_o the_o continual_a intention_n of_o their_o mind_n to_o serious_a thing_n now_o person_n that_o be_v of_o this_o temper_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v encourage_v to_o take_v more_o liberty_n than_o they_o do_v than_o to_o abate_v any_o that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o but_o their_o case_n be_v of_o another_o consideration_n and_o foreign_a to_o my_o present_a purpose_n and_o therefore_o i_o here_o say_v no_o more_o about_o it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v give_v this_o intimation_n to_o such_o people_n that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v a_o ill_a use_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v now_o represent_v for_o assure_o what_o have_v be_v now_o say_v do_v not_o much_o concern_v they_o 2._o the_o other_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o say_v and_o that_o by_o way_n of_o encouragement_n be_v this_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o some_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o rule_n i_o have_v now_o give_v about_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o liberty_n be_v much_o too_o strict_a and_o severe_a and_o that_o if_o they_o must_v be_v tie_v up_o to_o such_o measure_n then_o farewell_n all_o the_o joy_n and_o pleasure_n and_o comfort_n of_o their_o life_n but_o to_o such_o people_n i_o will_v crave_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v very_o wrong_a notion_n of_o this_o matter_n the_o use_v of_o their_o liberty_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o i_o have_v be_v recommend_v will_v not_o rob_v they_o of_o one_o true_a pleasure_n or_o comfort_n that_o this_o world_n afford_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o i_o be_o very_o sure_a whoever_o frame_v his_o life_n according_a to_o these_o measure_n shall_v live_v a_o hundred_o time_n a_o happy_a life_n and_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o pleasure_n and_o advantage_n of_o it_o much_o more_o to_o his_o own_o content_n and_o satisfaction_n than_o if_o he_o put_v no_o check_n to_o the_o crave_v of_o his_o appetite_n but_o always_o indulge_v and_o gratify_v they_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o as_o much_o as_o they_o desire_v assure_v yourselves_o virtue_n and_o religion_n will_v never_o hinder_v you_o from_o enjoy_v any_o pleasure_n or_o satisfaction_n that_o be_v natural_a on_o the_o contrary_a there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o practice_n thereof_o will_v extreme_o heighten_v and_o advance_v the_o satisfaction_n you_o can_v receive_v from_o your_o worldly_a enjoyment_n i_o doubt_v not_o in_o the_o least_o but_o to_o a_o sincere_o pious_a and_o virtuous_a man_n and_o that_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o god_n in_o all_o his_o action_n even_o the_o very_a pleasure_n and_o comfott_n of_o this_o life_n be_v more_o gratify_v and_o affect_v than_o to_o any_o sensual_a or_o wicked_a man._n for_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o enjoy_v they_o so_o do_v they_o come_v to_o he_o likewise_o without_o the_o mixture_n of_o those_o uneasy_a troublesome_a bitter_a reflection_n that_o other_o man_n feel_v in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o their_o enjoyment_n let_v no_o man_n therefore_o apprehend_v any_o loss_n of_o his_o pleasure_n by_o entire_o devote_v himself_o to_o god_n service_n and_o use_v his_o liberty_n in_o that_o careful_a way_n i_o have_v be_v recommend_v let_v he_o not_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v hereby_o be_v too_o much_o straighten_a and_o confine_v for_o certain_o this_o be_v the_o true_a mean_n not_o only_o to_o keep_v he_o for_o ever_o from_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o any_o thing_n but_o also_o mighty_o to_o improve_v and_o increase_v his_o liberty_n for_o by_o thus_o exercise_v himself_o all_o the_o power_n of_o his_o soul_n will_v be_v vast_o enlarge_v and_o he_o will_v hereby_o attain_v both_o leisure_n and_o will_n to_o employ_v all_o his_o rational_a faculty_n about_o the_o best_a and_o the_o noble_a object_n in_o the_o world_n which_o will_v yield_v he_o the_o great_a pleasure_n that_o be_v to_o be_v have_v on_o this_o side_n heaven_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v give_v up_o himself_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o any_o of_o his_o sensual_a appetite_n he_o have_v be_v a_o poor_a narrow_a confine_v creature_n indeed_o not_o capable_a of_o any_o great_a satisfaction_n or_o pleasure_n than_o what_o the_o brute_n do_v enjoy_v as_o well_o as_o himself_o but_o with_o less_o uneasiness_n and_o few_o disturbance_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o a_o sensual_a man_n have_v no_o notion_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o pleasure_n no_o more_o than_o a_o beast_n have_v of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o a_o man._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o such_o man_n entertain_v all_o talk_n about_o they_o as_o little_o better_a than_o mere_a cant_n and_o jargon_n but_o i_o serious_o appeal_v to_o all_o man_n that_o have_v ever_o make_v any_o trial_n in_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n whether_o the_o contentment_n and_o satisfaction_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o rational_a use_n of_o their_o liberty_n and_o the_o thought_n and_o reflection_n that_o hereby_o they_o do_v approve_v themselves_o to_o god_n and_o live_v in_o hope_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o have_v a_o fair_a prospect_n of_o a_o glorious_a immortal_a state_n in_o another_o world_n i_o say_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o find_v the_o pleasure_n and_o contentment_n that_o arise_v from_o hence_o to_o be_v infinite_o more_o solid_a and_o substantial_a and_o durable_a than_o any_o of_o those_o that_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o gratification_n of_o their_o sensual_a appetite_n in_o a_o vicious_a unreasonable_a manner_n oh_o therefore_o let_v none_o of_o we_o make_v any_o scruple_n of_o devote_v ourselves_o entire_o and_o without_o reserve_n to_o god_n almighty_n service_n let_v none_o of_o
