encouragement_n saint_n have_v and_o how_o reasonable_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v that_o they_o let_v go_v and_o part_n with_o their_o good_n for_o pure_a gospel_n religion_n and_o the_o sake_n of_o

with_o a_o less_o perfect_a for_o a_o more_o perfect_a good_a this_o every_o man_n reason_n will_v consent_v and_o agree_v to_o who_o will_v not_o part_v with_o brass_n for_o gold_n with_o

high_o rational_a be_v it_o to_o part_v with_o all_o earthly_a treasure_n for_o that_o which_o be_v heavenly_a see_v the_o disproportion_n be_v infinite_o great_a and_o how_o much_o do_v many_o professor_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n discover_v a_o imbecility_n and_o impotency_n of_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o a_o want_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n itself_o to_o stick_v at_o this_o and_o make_v it_o a_o stone_n of_o stumble_v when_o call_v thereunto_o see_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o one_o be_v depend_v upon_o the_o other_o 2._o how_o rational_a the_o saint_n joy_n be_v when_o they_o do_v thus_o take_v joyful_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n a_o beast_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o guide_v he_o in_o his_o choice_n or_o rather_o pursuit_n of_o any_o good_a suitable_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n he_o be_v only_o conduct_v and_o lead_v by_o sense_n hence_o that_o which_o arise_v from_o the_o good_a proper_a to_o such_o unreasonoble_a nature_n may_v rather_o as_o some_o say_v be_v call_v delight_n than_o joy_n this_o be_v think_v more_o appropriate_a to_o reasonable_a nature_n and_o intelligent_a being_n and_o though_o all_o man_n as_o man_n have_v a_o principle_n of_o reason_n inhereut_n in_o their_o soul_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o direct_v and_o guide_v thereby_o but_o by_o sense_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o good_a to_o its_o dictate_v they_o hearken_v and_o by_o they_o be_v
