all_o those_o scriptural_a truth_n without_o which_o a_o man_n can_v perfom_v his_o duty_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n absolute_o perfect_a who_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n into_o the_o world_n to_o draw_v man_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o guide_v they_o to_o eternal_a salvation_n that_o this_o jesus_n have_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o now_o reign_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n all_o christian_n agree_v in_o all_o this_o let_v we_o suspend_v still_o our_o judgement_n concern_v doctrine_n and_o speak_v yet_o only_o of_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o our_o religion_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o if_o all_o man_n live_v according_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o out_o of_o the_o hope_n of_o another_o life_n they_o betake_v themselves_o with_o care_n to_o adore_v the_o creator_n of_o the_o universe_n to_o live_v always_o in_o temperance_n and_o sobriety_n and_o to_o do_v constant_o to_o their_o neighbour_n as_o they_o desire_v their_o neighbour_n shall_v do_v to_o they_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v i_o say_v but_o this_o manner_n of_o live_v will_v be_v very_o agreeable_a and_o very_a advantageous_a to_o human_a society_n we_o shall_v not_o then_o hear_v any_o word_n speak_v that_o can_v cause_v we_o trouble_v or_o that_o will_v kindle_v division_n in_o religion_n there_o will_v be_v no_o sickness_n through_o intemperance_n no_o vexation_n nor_o any_o quarrel_n occasion_v by_o debauchery_n the_o do_v wrong_n to_o one_o neighbour_n and_o the_o suffer_v any_o inconvenience_n through_o the_o inhumanity_n or_o malice_n of_o man_n will_v be_v thing_n unknown_a man_n will_v help_v one_o another_o in_o all_o their_o needs_o with_o all_o the_o fervency_n and_o earnestness_n that_o can_v be_v desire_v if_o by_o mistake_v any_o of_o they_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o inconvenience_n to_o one_o another_o they_o will_v mutual_o pardon_v one_o another_o and_o repair_v that_o damage_n by_o all_o sort_n of_o service_n the_o love_n of_o honour_n or_o of_o riches_n will_v trouble_v no_o man_n mind_n nor_o cause_v any_o envy_n or_o discord_n in_o a_o word_n the_o mind_n be_v in_o a_o perfect_a tranquillity_n the_o body_n as_o healthful_a as_o feeble_a nature_n will_v admit_v and_o both_o mind_n and_o body_n enjoy_v the_o innocent_a pleasure_n which_o the_o gospel_n allow_v this_o amiable_a life_n will_v not_o be_v quit_v but_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o another_o free_v from_o all_o the_o inevitable_a inconvenience_n entail_v by_o nature_n upon_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o earth_n all_o that_o have_v any_o idea_n of_o the_o rule_n of_o morality_n teach_v by_o jesus_n christ_n must_v necessary_o agree_v in_o this_o truth_n that_o by_o general_o observe_v they_o man_n will_v be_v exceed_o happy_a but_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v ask_v where_o be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n a_o society_n in_o which_o man_n live_v conformable_o to_o these_o rule_n of_o morality_n that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o present_a purpose_n that_o there_o be_v at_o this_o time_n many_o nation_n that_o make_v profession_n of_o it_o though_o they_o live_v not_o up_o to_o the_o practice_n let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o these_o nation_n invent_v those_o rule_n or_o receive_v they_o from_o their_o predecessor_n they_o all_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v not_o the_o inventor_n and_o it_o may_v well_o be_v judge_v by_o their_o way_n of_o live_v that_o they_o say_v true_a for_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a they_o shall_v have_v invent_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o live_v so_o contrary_a to_o they_o invention_n always_o savour_v something_o of_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o inventor_n but_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o argument_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o this_o we_o may_v examine_v from_o age_n to_o age_n the_o author_n that_o be_v leave_v we_o begin_v at_o our_o own_o and_o go_v backward_o to_o that_o wherein_o christian_a religion_n be_v first_o speak_v of_o to_o see_v who_o they_o be_v that_o bring_v it_o into_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v ready_o find_v by_o read_v those_o author_n that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o thirteen_o hundred_o year_n since_o the_o roman_a emperor_n be_v become_v christian_n christianity_n have_v flourish_v in_o a_o great_a part_n of_o europe_n asia_n and_o africa_n since_o that_o time_n we_o may_v be_v convince_v by_o a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o christian_a author_n that_o profession_n have_v be_v constant_o make_v of_o believe_v that_o the_o morality_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n come_v from_o heaven_n if_o we_o go_v yet_o further_o backward_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o even_o under_o the_o pagan_a emperor_n there_o be_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o christian_n that_o profess_v the_o same_o doctrine_n we_o have_v many_o christian_a author_n of_o those_o time_n who_o assure_v we_o of_o it_o but_o without_o stay_v to_o reckon_v up_o needless_o author_n sufficient_o know_v let_v we_o examine_v in_o what_o age_n christianity_n begin_v first_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o all_o christian_n agree_v that_o it_o be_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o tiberius_n and_o if_o we_o consult_v heathen_a author_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o before_o that_o time_n it_o be_v altogether_o unknown_a tacitus_n who_o be_v bear_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o claudius_n or_o about_o the_o begin_n of_o that_o of_o nero_n say_v that_o nero_n after_o have_v set_v rome_n on_o fire_n in_o divers_a place_n and_o thereby_o destroy_v the_o city_n accuse_v the_o christian_n of_o

of_o the_o christian_a religion_n though_o nip_v in_o the_o bud_n break_v out_o a_o fresh_a and_o spread_v not_o only_o through_o judaea_n where_o the_o mischief_n first_o begin_v but_o come_v even_o

the_o public_a hatred_n etc._n etc._n you_o see_v here_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o heathen_a author_n who_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o christianity_n and_o very_o well_o verse_v in_o the_o passage_n of_o his_o time_n assure_v we_o of_o two_o thing_n then_o public_o notorious_a the_o one_o that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v live_v in_o judaea_n in_o the_o

that_o there_o be_v then_o a_o great_a number_n of_o they_o in_o that_o capital_a city_n we_o find_v also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o another_o author_n contemporary_a to_o tacitus_n that_o the_o christian_n at_o that_o time_n make_v profession_n of_o the_o same_o moral_n they_o teach_v now_o a-days_o pliny_n be_v proconsul_n of_o bythinia_n about_o threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n after_o
