so_o pray_v for_o you_o and_o for_o all_o man_n as_o he_o desire_v that_o all_o sincere_a christian_n shall_v pray_v for_o he_o your_o faithful_a servant_n in_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n edmund_n elys_n though_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o seven_o proposition_n may_v be_v know_v without_o external_a revelation_n yet_o i_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o casie_a to_o come_v to_o that_o knowledge_n by_o the_o revelation_n which_o almighty_a god_n have_v give_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n than_o without_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v continual_a thanks_o to_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n for_o vouchsafe_v to_o we_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n the_o seven_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o when_o we_o err_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o duty_n we_o ought_v to_o repent_v and_o trust_v in_o god_n mercy_n for_o pardon_n what_o it_o be_v to_o repent_v no_o man_n shall_v ever_o practical_o or_o effectual_o understand_v unless_o he_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o likely_a that_o such_o a_o man_n will_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n who_o with_o a_o honest_a heart_n read_v or_o hear_v the_o holy_a scripture_n than_o he_o who_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o they_o or_o who_o have_v read_v they_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v write_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n to_o repent_v be_v to_o cease_v to_o live_v unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o live_v unto_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o and_o arise_v again_o of_o which_o repentance_n we_o become_v capable_a only_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n who_o the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n the_o apostle_n say_v express_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 15._o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o that_o die_v for_o they_o and_o rise_v again_o in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n be_v these_o word_n if_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n and_o the_o ash_n of_o a_o heifer_n sprinkle_v the_o unclean_a sanctify_v

your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o livingood_n from_o this_o concession_n of_o the_o deist_n that_o god_n be_v infinite_o just_a and_o infinite_o merciful_a i_o infer_v that_o his_o hatred_n to_o sin_n and_o his_o love_n to_o sinner_n be_v both_o infinite_a i_o suppose_v they_o will_v grant_v that_o he_o be_v infinite_a in_o goodness_n in_o wisdom_n in_o power_n and_o in_o all_o perfection_n from_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n he_o hath-contrived_a some_o way_n by_o his_o infinite_a power_n to_o make_v a_o demonstration_n to_o sinner_n of_o his_o infinite_a love_n benevolence_n or_o communicativeness_n of_o the_o true_a good_a even_o to_o they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o but_o it_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v capable_a of_o or_o in_o a_o power_n to_o receive_v the_o true_a good_a or_o intellectual_a satisfaction_n but_o only_o by_o repentance_n or_o turn_v of_o their_o will_n or_o intellectual_a appetite_n to_o god_n as_o to_o its_o principal_a or_o ultimate_a object_n it_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o infinite_a wisdom_n can_v contrive_v a_o better_a way_n than_o this_o to_o bring_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n viz._n to_o demonstrate_v to_o they_o that_o though_o the_o hatred_n which_o the_o great_a and_o good_a god_n have_v to_o every_o sin_n be_v infinite_a nevertheless_o his_o love_n to_o every_o sinner_n capable_a of_o repentance_n be_v also_o infinite_a and_o this_o demonstration_n of_o the_o infinite_a justice_n and_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n those_o that_o believe_v the_o gospel_n clear_o perceive_v in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n whatsoever_o we_o find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v thereby_o be_v most_o perfect_o agreeable_a to_o all_o those_o notion_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n and_o mercy_n which_o be_v suggest_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o innate_a idea_n of_o god_n to_o the_o contemplation_n whereof_o i_o earnest_o exhort_v all_o those_o man_n who_o call_v themselves_o deist_n beseech_v almighty_a god_n the_o father_n of_o mercy_n and_o god_n of_o all_o consolation_n to_o lift_v up_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n upon_o they_o to_o give_v they_o the_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ._n i_o declare_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v not_o such_o indignation_n to_o these_o open_a enemy_n as_o
