zeal_n with_o violence_n so_o that_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n the_o true_a faithful_a one_o do_v appear_v lukewarm_a and_o the_o euemy_n of_o truth_n do_v pass_v for_o true_a zealot_n when_o human_a passion_n do_v mingle_v themselves_o in_o those_o sentiment_n of_o heart_n call_v religion_n there_o be_v no_o excess_n that_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o object_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o great_a transport_v they_o do_v reproach_n themselves_o secret_o which_o stop_v their_o fury_n and_o steal_v away_o some_o part_n of_o their_o impetuousness_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o be_v allay_v and_o consider_v in_o cold_a blood_n their_o conduct_n past_a they_o do_v often_o accuse_v their_o own_o self_n but_o contrary_o here_o passion_n do_v solicit_v and_o animate_v themselves_o they_o make_v merit_n of_o their_o violence_n and_o believe_v that_o god_n and_o his_o church_n be_v concern_v in_o their_o justification_n because_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v labour_v for_o the_o truth_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o often_o man_n believe_v that_o they_o see_v but_o little_a zeal_n in_o the_o true_a church_n while_o there_o be_v so_o much_o fire_n in_o the_o conduct_n of_o they_o that_o endeavour_v her_o ruin_n but_o we_o must_v needs_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v something_o more_o the_o moderation_n of_o the_o faithful_a do_v not_o always_o proceed_v from_o that_o sweet_a spirit_n which_o be_v the_o very_a genius_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o come_v often_o from_o the_o coldness_n of_o their_o zeal_n god_n permit_v it_o to_o oblige_v we_o to_o adore_v in_o silence_n the_o mystery_n of_o his_o conduct_n and_o to_o confound_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o pride_n of_o man_n heart_n we_o have_v much_o less_o love_n for_o the_o truth_n than_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n have_v of_o hatred_n against_o it_o and_o whilst_o we_o act_v in_o the_o establishment_n of_o religion_n by_o a_o principle_n of_o self-love_n we_o have_v quite_o another_o kind_n of_o ardour_n than_o when_o we_o have_v no_o other_o prospect_n than_o that_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o church_n do_v easy_o relent_v the_o fervour_n of_o the_o zeal_n which_o seek_v the_o conversion_n of_o other_o do_v not_o last_v long_o it_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o thing_n to_o seek_v for_o salvation_n that_o man_n imagine_v they_o do_v enough_o to_o labour_v for_o their_o own_o without_o charge_v themselves_o with_o the_o care_n of_o other_o and_o we_o easy_o fall_v into_o those_o unhappy_a thought_n that_o god_n be_v good_a enough_o to_o do_v his_o own_o business_n that_o he_o will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o own_o interest_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o want_v mean_n to_o convert_v they_o who_o he_o have_v destine_v to_o eternal_a salvation_n whereas_o false_a zeal_n do_v hold_v itself_o up_o do_v persevere_v and_o find_v itself_o often_o more_o capable_a to_o endure_v great_a labour_n than_o the_o true_a devotion_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o confound_v we_o i_o grant_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a temptation_n which_o good_a soul_n be_v to_o overcome_v but_o true_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n whereof_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o deny_v the_o truth_n if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o good_a faith_n or_o probity_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o false_a doctor_n of_o judaisme_n do_v compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o make_v a_o proselyte_n and_o all_o their_o labour_n do_v conclude_v to_o render_v he_o a_o son_n of_o hell_n like_v themselves_o all_o those_o thing_n do_v make_v i_o conclude_v that_o the_o zeal_n to_o make_v conversion_n be_v not_o always_o a_o certain_a sign_n that_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o that_o party_n it_o be_v a_o favourable_a prejudice_n but_o after_o all_o it_o be_v but_o a_o prejudice_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v conduct_v by_o those_o kind_n of_o light_n which_o be_v often_o deceitful_a we_o must_v be_v permit_v to_o examine_v if_o the_o zeal_n of_o religion_n which_o cause_v so_o many_o emotion_n be_v a_o divine_a fire_n or_o a_o passion_n mere_o humane_a now_o we_o can_v better_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o zeal_n which_o seek_v for_o conversion_n than_o by_o the_o mean_n which_o it_o employ_v for_o it_o be_v a_o indubitable_a principle_n that_o true_a piety_n never_o do_v any_o ill_a that_o good_a may_v come_v thereof_o she_o seek_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n but_o she_o seek_v it_o by_o way_n that_o be_v
