vindication_n of_o what_o be_v before_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o fundamental_a principle_n in_o this_o discourse_n viz._n that_o god_n almighty_a make_v mankind_n for_o a_o excellent_a end_n that_o be_v his_o glory_n and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o by_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n their_o own_o happiness_n both_o here_o in_o this_o life_n and_o hereafter_o in_o the_o life_n of_o immortality_n thus_o far_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o follow_v the_o clue_n of_o truth_n and_o reason_n which_o if_o other_o will_v likewise_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o those_o maze_n and_o labyrinth_n of_o doubt_n which_o perplex_v their_o mind_n and_o make_v their_o life_n so_o uneasy_a both_o to_o themselves_o and_o other_o by_o make_v many_o thing_n matter_n and_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n when_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v not_o such_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o likewise_o it_o will_v conduce_v much_o to_o the_o calm_v of_o those_o storm_n and_o tempest_n which_o be_v gather_v from_o so_o many_o several_a quarter_n and_o seem_v to_o threaten_v both_o church_n and_o state_n if_o not_o with_o shipwreck_n yet_o with_o most_o violent_a agitation_n and_o commotion_n but_o before_o i_o conclude_v there_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o fundamental_a principle_n in_o this_o discourse_n and_o upon_o which_o a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o weighty_a build_n of_o conscience_n do_v depend_v as_o upon_o a_o main_a pillar_n which_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v clear_a and_o evident_a and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o great_a creator_n out_o of_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o nature_n make_v the_o world_n and_o particular_o mankind_n for_o a_o most_o excellent_a end_n viz._n his_o own_o glory_n and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o the_o happiness_n of_o mankind_n here_o in_o this_o life_n as_o a_o preparative_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n hereafter_o that_o this_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a and_o undeniable_a truth_n however_o some_o narrow-spirited_n man_n who_o will_v engross_v all_o the_o bounty_n of_o heaven_n to_o themselves_o may_v think_v otherwise_o by_o take_v such_o low_a measure_n of_o the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o beneficence_n as_o may_v be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o stature_n of_o their_o own_o understanding_n though_o far_o short_a of_o infinite_a which_o be_v the_o only_a true_a measure_n of_o the_o deity_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o make_v it_o most_o evident_o plain_a and_o apparent_a to_o all_o those_o who_o do_v not_o wilful_o close_v their_o eye_n against_o the_o bright_a beam_n of_o truth_n reason_n and_o scripture_n first_o therefore_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o incomparable_a excellency_n of_o this_o infinite_a be_v who_o

that_o his_o thought_n be_v not_o as_o our_o thought_n nor_o his_o way_n like_o our_o way_n low_a narrow_a and_o short_a but_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a above_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v his_o
