into_o joy_n and_o gladness_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v the_o truth_n and_o peace_n three_o that_o upon_o our_o do_v this_o sincere_o all_o the_o sad_a effect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o now_o mourn_v for_o shall_v be_v so_o entire_o remove_v that_o our_o day_n of_o fast_v shall_v be_v turn_v into_o cheerful_a or_o solemn_a feast_n to_o the_o first_o there_o be_v a_o temper_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o public_a as_o well_o as_o in_o private_a mourning_n that_o they_o be_v neither_o so_o short_a as_o that_o it_o may_v thence_o appear_v we_o have_v a_o slight_a sense_n of_o matter_n of_o such_o great_a consequence_n nor_o so_o long_o as_o that_o either_o our_o sorrow_n rise_v out_o of_o measure_n high_a or_o by_o the_o too_o frequent_a return_n of_o those_o day_n the_o object_n of_o our_o grief_n grow_v too_o flat_a there_o be_v a_o mean_a between_o these_o extreme_n there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o mourn_v as_o well_o as_o a_o time_n to_o rejoice_v and_o every_o thing_n be_v beautiful_a in_o its_o season_n i_o shall_v therefore_o offer_v two_o rule_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_o determine_v how_o long_o such_o solemn_a mourning_n ought_v to_o be_v continue_v and_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o present_a occasion_n one_o be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o sad_a effect_n of_o that_o which_o original_o cause_v they_o continue_z we_o ought_v to_o keep_v up_o our_o fast_n for_o so_o long_a god_n seem_v to_o continue_v his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o renew_v our_o intercession_n to_o turn_v it_o away_o as_o long_o as_o the_o captivity_n last_v the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o doubt_v continue_v the_o observation_n of_o their_o fast_n but_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o to_o their_o land_n it_o seem_v then_o more_o proper_a to_o put_v this_o question_n a_o second_o be_v when_o the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a sin_n which_o procure_v those_o judgement_n that_o be_v so_o much_o lament_v do_v continue_v and_o when_o the_o circumstance_n of_o a_o nation_n seem_v to_o be_v almost_o the_o same_o that_o they_o be_v on_o the_o occasion_n that_o at_o first_o call_v for_o their_o mourning_n than_o it_o be_v fit_a either_o to_o continue_v or_o to_o renew_v their_o observation_n of_o those_o set_a fast_n this_o be_v the_o case_n at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v beginning_n to_o contract_v alliance_n with_o the_o idolatrous_a heathen_n round_o about_o they_o which_o have_v let_v in_o the_o former_a idolatry_n that_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o former_a captivity_n they_o become_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o immorality_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v command_v to_o love_v the_o truth_n and_o peace_n that_o so_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n and_o now_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o present_a occasion_n there_o be_v two_o very_a ill_a effect_n that_o follow_v upon_o the_o crime_n act_v this_o day_n which_o still_o continue_v the_o one_o be_v the_o advantage_n that_o many_o weak_a and_o prejudice_v person_n take_v against_o the_o appearance_n of_o religion_n prayer_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n all_o these_o have_v be_v so_o much_o pretend_v to_o at_o that_o time_n many_o that_o be_v assure_v the_o fact_n be_v barbarous_a and_o against_o all_o law_n divine_a and_o humane_a come_v upon_o that_o to_o infer_v that_o religion_n the_o address_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o the_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o inward_a motion_n of_o grace_n and_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v at_o best_a but_o the_o illusion_n of_o fancy_n if_o not_o the_o contrivance_n of_o design_v men._n the_o inference_n be_v as_o unjust_a as_o can_v be_v yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o this_o fall_n upon_o young_a and_o raw_a person_n who_o be_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o temper_n much_o incline_v to_o entertain_v those_o prejudices_fw-la and_o that_o be_v wrought_v on_o by_o so_o great_a a_o agent_n of_o hell_n as_o the_o author_n of_o leviathan_n be_v many_o be_v upon_o this_o corrupt_a in_o their_o principle_n about_o religion_n in_o general_n and_o for_o all_o the_o sleight_n of_o wit_n the_o show_v of_o reason_n and_o softness_n of_o style_n that_o be_v in_o that_o book_n it_o can_v never_o have_v be_v so_o mischievous_o successful_a as_o it_o then_o be_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o the_o scandal_n which_o be_v give_v by_o the_o impudent_a pretension_n of_o many_o of_o that_o time_n their_o unintelligible_a way_n of_o talk_v about_o religion_n their_o crumble_a into_o so_o many_o sect_n the_o aspire_n of_o many_o under_o all_o the_o show_v of_o humility_n and_o mortification_n tend_v to_o make_v the_o seed_n of_o atheism_n grow_v up_o plentiful_o and_o to_o this_o i_o speak_v it_o know_o we_o owe_v the_o beginning_n of_o all_o those_o impious_a and_o immoral_a maxim_n which_o have_v since_o overrun_v the_o land_n and_o do_v not_o these_o effect_n continue_v still_o be_v not_o devotion_n account_v by_o many_o to_o be_v either_o a_o matter_n of_o form_n or_o a_o piece_n of_o enthusiasm_n for_o earnestness_n in_o prayer_n and_o depend_v on_o the_o inward_a assistance_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n how_o have_v man_n who_o know_v or_o value_v these_o thing_n little_a themselves_o take_v occasion_n from_o thence_o to_o

character_n be_v willing_a not_o only_o to_o throw_v off_o but_o open_o to_o reproach_v the_o other_o all_o they_o can_v what_o ill_a effect_n this_o have_v have_v how_o the_o nation_n have_v be_v

that_o still_o continue_v be_v the_o prejudice_n that_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o church_n have_v cast_v on_o the_o reform_a religion_n as_o hold_v that_o very_a doctrine_n of_o kill_a king_n for_o
