capacity_n and_o freedom_n of_o our_o thought_n and_o the_o more_o narrow_a and_o confine_v our_o conception_n be_v the_o more_o strain_v and_o determine_v be_v the_o liberty_n of_o our_o choice_n and_o therefore_o since_o such_o a_o man_n thought_n can_v rise_v no_o high_o than_o a_o worldly_a interest_n he_o must_v be_v close_o tie_v down_o by_o those_o weight_n and_o clog_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o his_o will_n as_o much_o fetter_a as_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o mind_n his_o soul_n do_v in_o a_o true_a sense_n cleave_v unto_o the_o ground_n his_o conception_n be_v fasten_v to_o his_o bag_n and_o though_o he_o be_v tie_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o gold_n he_o carry_v far_o great_a mark_n of_o slavery_n than_o he_o that_o drag_v those_o of_o iron_n and_o it_o be_v much_o the_o

be_v damn_v whole_o to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sense_n he_o be_v as_o much_o determine_v as_o the_o beast_n by_o his_o fancy_n he_o steer_v just_a like_o the_o bruit_n not_o by_o a_o free_a conduct_n

the_o lord_n come_v to_o deliver_v those_o spirit_n that_o be_v thus_o in_o prison_n and_o to_o turn_v our_o captivity_n as_o the_o river_n in_o the_o south_n and_o though_o the_o heathen_a moral_n may_v seem_v a_o contradiction_n to_o this_o yet_o i_o be_o sure_a their_o life_n be_v much_o more_o a_o contradiction_n to_o their_o principle_n whilst_o they_o glory_v in_o their_o natural_a

they_o by_o the_o excellency_n of_o their_o temper_n and_o the_o impression_n of_o grace_n be_v more_o free_a and_o dis-engaged_n from_o the_o power_n of_o vice_n yet_o as_o those_o instance_n be_v but_o rare_a and_o extraordinary_a so_o their_o virtue_n general_o be_v as_o rot_v and_o unsound_a as_o the_o spring_n from_o which_o they_o issue_v and_o what_o have_v be_v faid_fw-we of_o the_o

wherefore_o if_o by_o the_o account_n of_o our_o slavery_n we_o may_v form_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o deliverance_n what_o a_o mighty_a redemption_n be_v this_o that_o be_v

not_o only_o a_o discharge_n from_o the_o captivity_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o socinian_o imagine_v but_o from_o its_o guilt_n too_o and_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n which_o bring_v

in_o we_o i_o say_v who_o instead_o of_o atone_v for_o one_o offence_n can_v only_o accumulate_v more_o and_o contract_v new_a debt_n only_o but_o never_o lessen_v the_o old_a wherewithal_o shall_v
