A30636	Tagathon, or, Divine goodness explicated and vindicated from the exceptions of the atheist wherein also the consent of the gravest philosophers with the holy and inspired penmen in many of the most important points of Christian doctrine is fully evinced / by Richard Burthogge.

together_o to_o all_o or_o most_o of_o those_o consideration_n i_o insist_v on_o from_o nature_n or_o reason_n that_o i_o may_v insinuate_v into_o the_o atheist_n a_o good_a belief_n of_o scripture_n as_o that_o there_o be_v some_o conformity_n in_o they_o with_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o recondite_v wisdom_n and_o that_o that_o religion_n comprehend_v in_o they_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o high_a reason_n and_o philosophy_n and_o he_o can_v but_o believe_v all_o this_o when_o he_o shall_v see_v before_o his_o eye_n so_o good_a a_o correspondency_n and_o understanding_n between_o they_o as_o for_o the_o philosopher_n i_o have_v quote_v they_o at_o large_a and_o in_o their_o own_o term_n that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v suspect_v to_o abuse_v they_o or_o my_o reader_n but_o yet_o have_v so_o convenient_o dispose_v the_o text_n that_o those_o who_o list_v not_o to_o attend_v to_o they_o as_o perhaps_o a_o many_o will_v not_o that_o yet_o may_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o read_v the_o rest_n they_o may_v skip_v and_o pass_v they_o over_o without_o any_o great_a trouble_n or_o interruption_n only_o one_o thing_n must_v be_v note_v that_o in_o some_o of_o these_o citation_n i_o have_v make_v of_o the_o philosopher_n it_o be_v the_o medium_fw-la the_o reason_n only_o which_o i_o urge_v they_o for_o the_o application_n be_v my_o perhaps_o and_o not_o they_o which_o yet_o i_o can_v reasonable_o be_v arraign_v for_o see_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o when_o yet_o the_o matter_n wherein_o it_o be_v to_o hold_v be_v innumerous_a and_o though_o i_o have_v suppose_v a_o god_n to_o be_v and_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v make_v by_o he_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o my_o subject_n justify_v and_o yet_o by_o way_n of_o obviation_n to_o the_o atheist_n cavil_n i_o have_v occasional_o prove_v it_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o this_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o if_o in_o read_v any_o part_n of_o it_o a_o such_o exception_n do_v arise_v i_o must_v oblige_v the_o reader_n to_o suspend_v his_o thought_n a_o little_a till_o it_o be_v remove_v i_o intend_v not_o to_o give_v my_o reader_n any_o further_a trouble_n here_o but_o on_o second_o thought_n i_o crave_v his_o pardon_n if_o i_o do_v because_o it_o look_v to_o some_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o irreparable_a defect_n in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n in_o one_o point_n in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v quote_v no_o philosopher_n about_o it_o and_o it_o be_v believe_v i_o can_v not_o have_v give_v any_o intimation_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o saviour_n the_o great_a instance_n of_o divine_a benignity_n and_o of_o the_o method_n of_o salvation_n by_o he_o among_o the_o gentile_n and_o indeed_o i_o purposely_o decline_v the_o do_v that_o because_o it_o be_v a_o point_n that_o will_v oblige_v i_o to_o a_o large_a discourse_n another_o where_o but_o yet_o for_o present_a satisfaction_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v among_o the_o heathen_a some_o dark_a intimation_n of_o that_o great_a truth_n for_o which_o we_o christian_n be_v behold_v to_o the_o evangel_n though_o i_o may_v be_v judge_v very_o paradoxical_a therein_o yet_o i_o conceive_v i_o shall_v affirm_v nothing_o but_o what_o i_o have_v authority_n enough_o to_o verify_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o ancient_a heathen_n understand_v that_o god_n be_v unattoneable_a but_o by_o humane_a blood_n the_o canaanite_n do_v offer_v up_o their_o child_n unto_o moloch_n deut._n 18._o 10._o and_o conformable_o the_o carthaginian_n politic._n who_o be_v a_o colony_n of_o canaanites_n do_v yearly_o offer_v some_o of_o they_o to_o saturn_n among_o the_o lacedaemonian_n sacrif_n the_o altar_n of_o diana_n orthia_n be_v besprinkle_v once_o a_o year_n with_o humane_a blood_n two_o person_n be_v annual_o elect_v by_o the_o lot_n for_o sacrifice_n which_o usage_n 35._o as_o it_o be_v high_o barbarous_a and_o cruel_a be_v affirm_v to_o be_v change_v by_o the_o great_a lycurgus_n for_o a_o mild_a he_o ordain_v that_o the_o person_n on_o who_o the_o lot_n do_v fall_v lacon_n instead_o of_o be_v kill_v shall_v be_v whip_v till_o the_o blood_n do_v flow_v and_o with_o that_o they_o do_v besprinkle_v the_o altar_n this_o be_v much_o but_o there_o be_v more_o for_o some_o of_o they_o do_v understand_v if_o yet_o they_o understand_v what_o their_o performance_n employ_v not_o only_o that_o the_o great_a god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v propitiate_v and_o atone_v but_o by_o humane_a blood_n but_o also_o that_o that_o blood_n must_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o one_o that_o be_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o as_o it_o be_v the_o person_n and_o the_o guilt_n of_o all_o or_o of_o a_o one_o that_o by_o his_o suffering_n be_v to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o rest_n that_o offer_v he_o and_o this_o be_v evident_a 33._o in_o that_o the_o old_a athenian_n every_o year_n in_o their_z thargelion_n do_v sacrifice_v a_o man_n and_o a_o woman_n for_o the_o man_n and_o woman_n of_o their_o city_n to_o expiate_v and_o lustrate_v they_o and_o those_o who_o they_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o call_v pharmaca_n pharmaci_n as_o who_o will_v say_v that_o those_o be_v person_n who_o by_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o offer_v up_o unto_o the_o god_n be_v proper_a medicine_n to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v those_o other_o from_o their_o sin_n that_o offer_v they_o and_o it_o will_v be_v yet_o more_o manifest_a 106._o if_o we_o consider_v what_o leonicus_n thomaeus_n further_o tell_v we_o out_o of_o lycophron_n that_o in_o the_o most_o ancient_a time_n if_o on_o any_o city_n there_o fall_v a_o judgement_n of_o famine_n or_o plague_n or_o sword_n or_o other_o great_a calamity_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o take_v the_o vile_a and_o most_o vicious_a person_n in_o it_o who_o they_o call_v a_o pha●macon_n catharmus_fw-la or_o a_o pharmacus_n and_o he_o they_o carry_v to_o the_o place_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o have_v there_o perform_v several_a ceremony_n at_o last_o they_o burn_v he_o and_o throw_v his_o ash_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o so_o appease_v the_o go_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o something_o figurative_a and_o mystical_a do_v lie_v in_o this_o for_o otherwise_o they_o know_v what_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v remarkable_a to_o all_o that_o to_o the_o best_a the_o best_a be_v to_o be_v offer_v and_o indeed_o the_o usage_n seem_v but_o a_o depravation_n of_o the_o grand_a tradition_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o of_o that_o propitiation_n and_o atonement_n to_o be_v make_v to_o god_n for_o sin_n by_o the_o offering_n up_o the_o man_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o caiaphas_n of_o who_o the_o holy_a ghos●_n do_v witness_v that_o he_o prophesy_v and_o wist_v it_o not_o that_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v right_a than_o he_o be_v aware_a of_o allude_v hereunto_o in_o say_v it_o wa●_n necessary_a one_o shall_v die_v for_o the_o people_n he_o meaning_n it_o be_v likely_a that_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a that_o one_o intend_v jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o

the_o true_a pharmacum_fw-la and_o catharma_fw-la for_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o be_v he_o that_o take_v on_o he_o the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o do_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n by_o who_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v and_o of_o he_o it_o be_v that_o our_o apostle_n say_v and_o perhaps_o allude_v to_o the_o grecian_a lustration_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o jewish_a purgation_n that_o he_o do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o he_o do_v by_o himself_o purge_v our_o sin_n or_o which_o be_v equivalent_a that_o in_o his_o own_o person_n he_o be_v our_o true_a catharma_n i_o may_v also_o argue_v their_o imperfect_a knowledge_n of_o a_o saviour_n from_o the_o many_o appellation_n which_o i_o find_v among_o they_o of_o their_o jupiter_n as_o jupiter_n melichius_n jupiter_n eleutherius_fw-la jupiter_n servator_n etc._n etc._n and_o also_o take_v a_o hint_n to_o show_v from_o whence_o they_o have_v it_o namely_o from_o the_o old_a and_o first_o
