fact_n be_v commit_v our_o conscience_n be_v strange_o disquiet_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o when_o a_o man_n do_v but_o design_n to_o do_v a_o bad_a thing_n he_o be_v guilty_a to_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v commit_v it_o of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o considerable_a instance_n in_o the_o first_o violence_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o nature_n gen._n 4._o 6._o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o cain_n

a_o change_n in_o his_o very_a countenance_n gild_n be_v the_o natural_a concomitant_a of_o heinous_a crime_n which_o so_o soon_o as_o ever_o a_o man_n commit_v his_o spirit_n receive_v a_o secret_a

of_o natural_a sense_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a because_o when_o ever_o we_o offend_v against_o nature_n our_o conscience_n be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a and_o we_o receive_v a_o sting_n into_o

whether_o this_o be_v not_o true_a 2._o man_n be_v natural_o full_a of_o hope_n and_o fear_n according_a as_o they_o follow_v or_o go_v against_o these_o natural_a dictate_v a_o good_a conscience_n

and_o the_o fearful_a apprehension_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n whereas_o guilt_n fill_v man_n with_o dismal_a apprehension_n of_o danger_n and_o continual_a misgiving_n concern_v their_o own_o

prompt_v man_n to_o their_o duty_n fill_v they_o with_o good_a hope_n when_o they_o have_v do_v it_o and_o with_o secret_a fear_n and_o apprehension_n of_o danger_n when_o they_o have_v do_v contrary_a to_o it_o second_o god_n show_v man_n what_o be_v good_a by_o natural_a reason_n and_o that_o two_o way_n by_o the_o convenience_n of_o thing_n to_o our_o nature_n and_o by_o their_o

and_o intention_n of_o nature_n that_o we_o call_v good_a whatever_o be_v contrary_a thereto_o we_o call_v evil_a for_o example_n to_o honour_n and_o love_n god_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o honour_v great_a power_n and_o perfection_n and_o to_o love_v goodness_n wherever_o it_o be_v so_o likewise_o gratitude_n be_v natural_a to_o acknowledge_v benefit_n receive_v and_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o requite_v they_o and_o the_o contrary_n be_v monstrous_a and_o universal_o abhor_v and_o there_o be_v no_o great_a sign_n that_o any_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n than_o if_o it_o be_v detest_v by_o the_o whole_a kind_n it_o be_v agreeable_a also_o to_o nature_n to_o be_v just_a and_o to_o do_v to_o other_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o do_v to_o we_o for_o this_o be_v to_o make_v our_o own_o natural_a inclination_n and_o desire_n the_o rule_n of_o our_o deal_n with_o other_o and_o to_o be_v merciful_a for_o no_o man_n that_o have_v not_o devest_v himself_o of_o humanity_n can_v be_v cruel_a and_o hard-hearted_a to_o other_o without_o feel_v a_o pain_n in_o himself_o second_o reason_n show_v we_o the_o tendency_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o our_o happiness_n and_o interest_n and_o indeed_o the_o notion_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n do_v common_o refer_v to_o the_o consequence_n of_o thing_n and_o we_o call_v that_o good_a which_o will_v bring_v some_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n to_o we_o and_o that_o evil_a which_o be_v likely_a to_o produce_v some_o mischief_n and_o inconvenience_n and_o by_o this_o rule_n reason_n discover_v to_o we_o that_o these_o duty_n be_v good_a to_o begin_v with_o piety_n towards_o god_n nothing_o can_v more_o evident_o tend_v to_o our_o interest_n than_o to_o make_v he_o our_o friend_n upon_o who_o favour_n our_o

to_o place_v benefit_n there_o where_o he_o may_v hope_v for_o a_o thankful_a return_n temperance_n do_v apparent_o conduce_v to_o our_o health_n which_o next_o to_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v the_o most_o pleasant_a and_o valuable_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n whereas_o the_o intemperate_a man_n be_v a_o open_a enemy_n to_o himself_o and_o continual_o make_v assault_n upon_o his_o own_o life_n mercy_n and_o pity_n be_v not_o more_o welcome_a to_o other_o than_o they_o be_v delightful_a and_o beneficial_a to_o ourselves_o for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o gratify_v our_o own_o nature_n and_o bowel_n by_o relieve_v those_o who_o be_v in_o misery_n but_o we_o provoke_v mankind_n by_o our_o example_n to_o the_o like_a tenderness_n and_o do_v prudent_o bespeak_v the_o commiseration_n of_o other_o towards_o we_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v our_o turn_n to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a enough_o our_o reason_n will_v likewise_o direct_v we_o to_o be_v just_a as_o the_o sure_a art_n of_o thrive_a in_o this_o world_n it_o give_v a_o man_n a_o reputation_n which_o be_v a_o powerful_a advantage_n in_o all_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v the_o

yet_o it_o be_v much_o sure_a and_o more_o last_a and_o not_o liable_a to_o those_o terrible_a backblow_n and_o after-reckoning_n to_o which_o estate_n get_v by_o injustice_n be_v and_o natural_a
