the_o common_a felicity_n of_o mankind_n and_o be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a in_o order_n to_o it_o that_o it_o can_v be_v attain_v without_o they_o the_o absurdity_n too_o that_o be_v consequent_a to_o the_o deny_v of_o it_o argue_v that_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n contain_v all_o those_o moral_a duty_n to_o which_o man_n be_v oblige_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o if_o it_o do_v not_o then_o either_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v abolish_v or_o else_o god_n have_v two_o contrary_a law_n in_o force_n at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o can_v be_v abolish_v because_o it_o be_v of_o eternal_a obligation_n man_n be_v for_o ever_o bind_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o piety_n towards_o god_n and_o of_o justice_n to_o one_o another_o because_o both_o these_o promote_v his_o glory_n and_o their_o felicity_n but_o if_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o do_v not_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o piety_n and_o justice_n which_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n so_o strict_o and_o express_o require_v of_o we_o than_o god_n have_v two_o contrary_a law_n obligatory_a at_o the_o same_o time_n a_o law_n that_o command_v we_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o to_o deal_v just_o with_o all_o man_n and_o a_o law_n that_o allow_v we_o to_o dishonour_v he_o and_o to_o be_v unjust_a to_o they_o for_o be_v not_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n a_o law_n which_o god_n have_v impress_v upon_o our_o mind_n and_o have_v not_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n the_o same_o bless_a author_n and_o be_v they_o not_o both_o bind_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o same_o reward_n and_o punishment_n peace_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o mind_n now_o if_o we_o obey_v gild_n and_o horror_n of_o conscience_n at_o present_a if_o we_o violate_v or_o transgress_v they_o and_o by_o the_o consequence_n of_o these_o eternal_a felicity_n or_o misery_n after_o this_o life_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n have_v the_o same_o divine_a original_a god_n do_v by_o christ_n instruct_v mankind_n in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n he_o say_v a_o reverend_a person_n teach_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o all_o man_n 180._o ductor_n dubitan_n pa._n 180._o and_o renew_v it_o and_o make_v a_o perfect_a body_n of_o it_o to_o last_o as_o long_o as_o our_o nature_n last_v and_o as_o long_o as_o this_o world_n and_o his_o kingdom_n abide_v and_o be_v both_o of_o they_o his_o law_n to_o say_v they_o do_v not_o require_v the_o same_o moral_a duty_n of_o we_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v two_o contrary_a law_n in_o force_n at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o be_v to_o revile_v and_o reproach_v he_o for_o if_o he_o require_v we_o to_o obey_v two_o contrary_a law_n at_o the_o same_o time_n than_o he_o require_v we_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v impossible_a and_o so_o be_v neither_o wise_a nor_o just_a i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o christianity_n be_v a_o perfect_a digest_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o contain_v all_o the_o moral_a precept_n of_o it_o and_o if_o so_o than_o whatever_o be_v unjust_a by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v equal_o so_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o no_o man_n may_v do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o that_o because_o if_o he_o do_v he_o be_v a_o transgressor_n of_o this_o beside_o christianity_n it_o be_v certain_a binds_z man_n always_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v just_a to_o do_v unto_o other_o that_o be_v as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o themselves_o and_o if_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n do_v not_o oblige_v they_o to_o do_v so_o too_o then_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o a_o unjust_a law_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v his_o law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o christian_a and_o then_o how_o be_v he_o righteous_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a to_o say_v the_o bill_n of_o exclusion_n if_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o christian_a justice_n as_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v prove_v it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o natural_a justice_n nothing_o be_v just_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v not_o so_o by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o bill_n be_v as_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v to_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o great_a design_n of_o it_o have_v no_o tendency_n to_o promote_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o felicity_n of_o mankind_n not_o the_o first_o because_o god_n can_v be_v honour_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v forbid_v and_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o integrity_n and_o perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n but_o he_o forbid_v all_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o love_n righteousness_n in_o other_o and_o it_o be_v for_o ever_o great_a and_o high_a injustice_n for_o man_n to_o do_v that_o to_o another_o which_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v to_o themselves_o the_o bill_n if_o it_o be_v pass_v will_v contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o felicity_n of_o mankind_n in_o general_n afford_v they_o no_o benefit_n at_o all_o but_o may_v in_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o be_v injurious_a to_o they_o all_o for_o if_o one_o man_n be_v unjust_o deprive_v of_o his_o right_n they_o that_o have_v power_n may_v offer_v the_o same_o injury_n to_o a_o second_o and_o a_o three_o nay_o to_o as_o many_o as_o they_o can_v till_o at_o last_o injustice_n and_o oppression_n reign_v every_o where_n beside_o the_o suffering_n of_o one_o prince_n expose_v all_o that_o be_v of_o that_o most_o high_a and_o sacred_a order_n to_o the_o like_a danger_n and_o if_o one_o nation_n or_o people_n disinherit_v the_o next_o heir_n to_o the_o crown_n other_o nation_n may_v take_v the_o same_o measure_n and_o offer_v the_o same_o indignity_n and_o injury_n to_o their_o prince_n which_o will_v fill_v the_o world_n with_o war_n and_o misery_n blood_n and_o destruction_n it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o the_o happiness_n of_o this_o nation_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v already_o because_o it_o will_v bring_v a_o certain_a and_o present_a evil_a or_o mischief_n upon_o it_o to_o remove_v a_o remote_a and_o contingent_a one_o be_v too_o weak_a a_o remedy_n to_o effect_v the_o cure_n it_o design_n and_o instead_o of_o keep_v out_o popery_n will_v bring_v in_o war_n and_o confusion_n desolation_n and_o misery_n and_o therefore_o be_v against_o prudence_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n beside_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o right_a reason_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o injure_v or_o make_v any_o man_n miserable_a that_o have_v not_o attempt_v to_o use_v other_o so_o be_v contrary_a to_o right_a reason_n to_o pass_v the_o bill_n be_v to_o injure_v or_o make_v the_o duke_n miserable_a as_o far_o as_o a_o law_n can_v do_v it_o he_o have_v not_o attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n towards_o other_o therefore_o the_o bill_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o say_v he_o will_v do_v it_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n be_v a_o rash_a groundless_a and_o uncharitable_a assertion_n because_o he_o can_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o honour_n nor_o his_o happiness_n either_o in_o this_o world_n or_o the_o other_o to_o injure_v or_o make_v they_o he_o govern_v miserable_a it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o that_o justice_n candor_n and_o ingenuity_n to_o which_o we_o be_v oblige_v as_o rational_a and_o sociable_a creature_n to_o think_v that_o person_n intend_v we_o no_o injury_n that_o neither_o by_o his_o word_n nor_o action_n discover_v a_o malevolent_a mind_n towards_o we_o the_o duke_n have_v neither_o of_o these_o way_n discover_v such_o a_o mind_n towards_o we_o therefore_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o think_v he_o intend_v we_o no_o injury_n if_o it_o be_v say_v he_o hold_v no_o religious_a communion_n with_o we_o and_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a indication_n that_o he_o bear_v a_o malevolent_a mind_n towards_o we_o i_o answer_v that_o at_o most_o it_o argue_v but_o a_o dissatisfied_a mind_n or_o a_o erroneous_a persuasion_n of_o our_o way_n of_o worship_n that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o
