which_o as_o it_o be_v most_o impious_a in_o respect_n of_o god_n so_o be_v it_o most_o malicious_a to_o man_n because_o it_o strike_v at_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o our_o happiness_n and_o perfect_o undermine_v it_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n man_n will_v evident_o be_v the_o most_o unhappy_a of_o all_o other_o being_n here_o below_o because_o his_o unhappiness_n will_v be_v lay_v in_o the_o very_a frame_n of_o his_o nature_n in_o that_o which_o distinguish_v he_o from_o all_o other_o being_n below_o he_o i_o mean_v in_o his_o reason_n and_o understanding_n and_o he_o will_v be_v so_o much_o more_o miserable_a than_o the_o beast_n by_o how_o much_o he_o have_v a_o far_a reach_n and_o a_o large_a prospect_n of_o future_a evil_n a_o quick_a apprehension_n and_o a_o deep_a and_o more_o last_a resentment_n of_o they_o so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n can_v see_v reason_n to_o stagger_v his_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n or_o of_o his_o providence_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v infinite_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o the_o belief_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o much_o for_o the_o interest_n and_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o mankind_n that_o a_o

calamity_n of_o life_n and_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o something_o real_a in_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o
