satisfy_v with_o a_o less_o degree_n of_o happiness_n than_o what_o religion_n set_v before_o we_o for_o he_o plain_o intimate_v that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o body_n suffer_v no_o kind_n of_o pain_n nor_o be_v deny_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o grateful_a to_o our_o sense_n that_o he_o will_v enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n with_o as_o much_o freedom_n and_o as_o much_o

a_o invention_n and_o persuade_v himself_o that_o its_o principle_n be_v lay_v in_o our_o mind_n by_o art_n and_o education_n when_o he_o be_v so_o great_a a_o friend_n to_o and_o so_o desirous_a of_o

be_v sensible_a that_o no_o less_o delight_n do_v deserve_v the_o name_n of_o happiness_n all_o the_o difference_n then_o between_o he_o and_o religion_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o it_o deferr_v our_o hope_n of_o such_o enjoyment_n and_o such_o a_o life_n to_o another_o state_n and_o he_o will_v have_v they_o now_o but_o since_o he_o find_v it_o impossible_a we_o shall_v have_v they_o here_o he_o have_v infinite_a reason_n to_o think_v well_o of_o religion_n because_o it_o take_v care_n to_o satisfy_v his_o desire_n at_o the_o last_o if_o he_o will_v but_o depend_v upon_o it_o if_o his_o deesire_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v reasonable_a he_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o believe_v religion_n to_o be_v so_o unreasonable_a a_o imposition_n as_o he_o complain_v it_o be_v and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o reconcile_v to_o the_o notion_n of_o spiritual_a delight_n yet_o he_o ought_v for_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o laugh_v at_o they_o be_v because_o he_o believe_v he_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o body_n to_o please_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o he_o be_v right_a in_o his_o faith_n he_o be_v not_o mistake_v when_o he_o make_v this_o world_n his_o only_a place_n of_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n but_o how_o then_o come_v he_o to_o desire_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o happiness_n as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v here_o below_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o he_o can_v content_v himself_o with_o the_o sensible_a pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n such_o as_o he_o find_v they_o for_o no_o bodily_a delight_n be_v pure_a and_o unallay_v uninterrupted_a and_o endless_a and_o if_o these_o be_v the_o only_a delight_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o how_o come_v it_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o wish_v for_o better_a if_o his_o desire_n be_v reasonable_a he_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o desire_v and_o value_v the_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n of_o another_o life_n as_o to_o desire_v such_o joy_n as_o be_v endless_a for_o since_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n can_v satisfy_v such_o a_o desire_n he_o must_v either_o look_v upon_o himself_o to_o be_v very_o ill_o frame_v for_o any_o kind_n of_o happiness_n at_o all_o or_o he_o must_v look_v beyond_o this_o life_n for_o pleasure_n as_o endless_a and_o full_a as_o the_o desire_n and_o since_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o desire_n do_v necessary_o lead_v he_o thither_o at_o the_o last_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o despise_v the_o notion_n of_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n since_o there_o be_v no_o other_o there_o i_o come_v 2._o to_o consider_v how_o all_o that_o virtue_n which_o religion_n teach_v we_o be_v likewise_o the_o matter_n of_o every_o man_n desire_n it_o be_v every_o man_n desire_n that_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n justice_n and_o honesty_n uprightness_n and_o integrity_n be_v universal_o practise_v in_o the_o world_n the_o violence_n of_o humane_a passion_n the_o unruliness_n of_o humour_n and_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o our_o appetite_n be_v so_o troublesome_a to_o the_o world_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o immorality_n be_v attend_v with_o such_o bad_a effect_n that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o wish_n that_o they_o be_v utter_o extirpate_v and_o the_o contrary_a virtue_n establish_v for_o who_o be_v there_o that_o will_v not_o glad_o dwell_v in_o safety_n and_o peaceable_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o labour_n who_o will_v not_o live_v free_a from_o vexation_n and_o trouble_n and_o pass_v his_o life_n with_o as_o little_a disquiet_n and_o disturbance_n
but_o now_o let_v a_o man_n believe_v that_o his_o shame_n and_o guilt_n will_v follow_v he_o into_o another_o world_n where_o he_o be_v like_a to_o suffer_v among_o curse_a spirit_n for_o ever_o and_o he_o have_v so_o much_o reason_n against_o a_o profligate_n life_n as_o no_o temporal_a consideration_n can_v outweigh_v this_o be_v so_o very_a plain_n that_o the_o atheist_n make_v no_o exception_n to_o the_o power_n that_o these_o terror_n have_v to_o persuade_v man_n but_o only_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v strange_a he_o shall_v when_o it_o be_v so_o visible_a that_o it_o be_v so_o much_o he_o and_o every_o man_n interest_n they_o shall_v be_v true_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a man_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o awe_n without_o they_o chap._n iii_o from_o the_o desire_n of_o all_o man_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n nothing_o i_o presume_v can_v be_v more_o obvious_a than_o this_o truth_n that_o if_o all_o mankind_n be_v desirous_a that_o the_o principle_n which_o religion_n teach_v and_o the_o duty_n it_o require_v shall_v be_v true_a we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o

of_o extraordinary_a advantage_n to_o we_o and_o that_o take_v a_o secret_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o it_o such_o a_o universal_a desire_n can_v be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o sudden_a pasion_n which_o owe_v their_o birth_n to_o humour_n or_o fancy_n but_o must_v spring_v from_o some_o certain_a and_o fix_a reason_n which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o withstand_v our_o desire_n it_o be_v true_a be_v sometime_o so_o unaccountable_a that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o reflect_v upon_o they_o with_o seriousness_n we_o see_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o but_o a_o desire_n in_o which_o all_o mankind_n agree_v can_v never_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o hearty_a transport_n but_o must_v arise_v from_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v desire_v and_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o cause_n that_o have_v its_o foundation_n in_o our_o nature_n now_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o desire_n will_v easy_o be_v grant_v if_o i_o can_v make_v good_a these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o we_o natural_o desire_v all_o that_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o religion_n 2._o all_o that_o virtue_n that_o it_o teach_v 1._o we_o natural_o desire_v all_o that_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o religion_n we_o love_v and_o take_v pleasure_n to_o think_v of_o all_o the_o

upon_o they_o we_o be_v so_o extreme_o affect_v with_o life_n that_o we_o will_v never_o lose_v it_o if_o we_o can_v possible_o prevent_v such_o a_o loss_n and_o since_o this_o be_v not_o possible_a nature_n startle_v at_o and_o abhor_v the_o thought_n of_o death_n as_o be_v most_o formidable_a enemy_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o immortal_a life_n we_o be_v desirous_a of_o we_o will_v live_v such_o

to_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o a_o furture_n state_n of_o immortality_n and_o glory_n yethe_v be_v too_o great_a a_o friend_n o_fw-mi himself_o to_o think_v that_o death_n be_v as_o
