honest_a and_o to_o the_o prudent_a god_n be_v the_o law_n but_o to_o the_o unadvised_a there_o be_v no_o law_n but_o their_o appetite_n and_o again_o he_o add_v that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a measure_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o not_o man_n a_o measure_n to_o himself_o and_o again_o that_o whoever_o be_v wise_a and_o honest_a be_v god_n friend_n as_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o by_o all_o which_o plato_n inculcate_n how_o divine_a a_o thing_n virtue_n be_v and_o how_o much_o ally_v and_o resemble_v unto_o god_n himself_o vi_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o cicero_n in_o his_o tusculan_a

although_o herein_o he_o speak_v but_o little_a as_o a_o philosopher_n viii_o since_o therefore_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o divinity_n interweave_v in_o a_o virtuous_a mind_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o if_o we_o cultivate_v virtue_n as_o it_o have_v reference_n to_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v his_o most_o visible_a image_n we_o manifest_o worship_v the_o great_a god_n himself_o and_o whereas_o other_o ritual_n have_v be_v subject_a to_o mutation_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v last_v this_o one_o right_a of_o adoration_n which_o be_v god_n right_a must_v be_v immutable_a and_o

to_o know_v that_o he_o abhor_v all_o hypocrisy_n and_o will_v not_o be_v serve_v but_o with_o what_o be_v rational_a and_o like_a to_o himself_o or_o as_o he_o elsewhere_o speak_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o rejoice_v or_o acquiesce_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o in_o pass_v from_o one_o good_a action_n to_o another_o such_o as_o have_v reference_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o to_o the_o public_a good_n for_o god_n most_o immovable_a and_o immutable_a right_n be_v this_o that_o we_o love_v he_o for_o his_o wonderful_a perfection_n and_o then_o imitate_v he_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v ix_o this_o however_o be_v not_o say_v to_o the_o exclusion_n of_o other_o right_n which_o have_v either_o be_v reveal_v by_o holy_a oracle_n or_o enjoin_v by_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n for_o there_o may_v be_v various_a ceremony_n and_o other_o circumstance_n of_o divine_a worship_n which_o in_o virtue_n of_o a_o law_n may_v be_v establish_v as_o of_o divine_a right_n and_o such_o as_o may_v not_o be_v violate_v till_o by_o legal_a authority_n they_o be_v revoke_v but_o still_o these_o must_v have_v no_o repugnancy_n in_o they_o either_o to_o the_o oracle_n of_o

holiness_n be_v a_o part_n of_o justice_n and_o so_o andronicus_n rhodius_n almost_o to_o the_o same_o sense_n define_v it_o to_o be_v a_o science_n that_o make_v we_o faithful_a and_o obedient_a unto_o the_o law_n divine_a whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a what_o impiety_n must_v be_v and_o how_o fit_o it_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o these_o several_a kind_n namely_o superstition_n profaneness_n enthusiasm_n and_o rituality_n xi_o now_o superstition_n be_v a_o sort_n or_o mode_n of_o impiety_n in_o fasten_v upon_o god_n by_o way_n of_o worship_n those_o thing_n which_o be_v contumelious_a to_o he_o which_o be_v plain_o to_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o deity_n wherefore_o superstition_n be_v that_o impiety_n by_o which_o a_o man_n consider_v god_n to_o be_v so_o light_a or_o so_o passionate_a as_o with_o trivial_a thing_n either_o to_o be_v appease_v or_o else_o move_v to_o wrath_n profaneness_n also_o be_v that_o impiety_n by_o which_o a_o man_n do_v with_o impudence_n and_o imprudence_n violate_v all_o divine_a right_n whether_o temporary_a or_o immutable_a and_o this_o disease_n do_v sometime_o ripen_v into_o downright_a atheism_n than_o which_o no_o state_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v more_o sad_a and_o deplorable_a xii_o enthusiasm_n be_v that_o impiety_n by_o which_o a_o man_n do_v bold_o violate_v and_o kick_v under_o foot_n all_o external_a right_n while_o yet_o he_o drive_v on_o with_o heat_n and_o ardour_n of_o mind_n to_o some_o internal_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o rituality_n be_v that_o impiety_n by_o which_o a_o man_n while_o he_o be_v observe_v those_o exterior_a right_n of_o god_n and_o adhere_v with_o a_o sort_n of_o conscience_n to_o thing_n ceremonial_a do_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n freeze_v as_o to_o any_o spiritual_a feel_n or_o internal_a worship_n of_o god_n xiii_o these_o in_o a_o manner_n be_v those_o offence_n in_o religion_n which_o be_v most_o obvious_a but_o if_o other_o increase_v the_o number_n i_o shall_v not_o gainsay_v it_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v our_o intention_n to_o treat_v rather_o of_o the_o virtue_n than_o of_o the_o vice_n but_o as_o aristotle_n say_v 5._o de_fw-fr anima_fw-la l._n 1._o c._n 5._o the_o one_o may_v be_v know_v by_o comparison_n with_o the_o other_o and_o the_o rule_n or_o law_n be_v judge_n unto_o both_o however_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o present_a virtue_n of_o piety_n be_v particular_o explain_v in_o noema_n the_o thirteen_o sixteenth_o and_o twenty_o first_o as_o also_o in_o the_o five_o eighth_z ten_o etc._n etc._n for_o as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n and_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v immortal_a we_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v these_o in_o our_o write_n against_o atheism_n and_o of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n unto_o which_o we_o therefore_o refer_v chap._n vi_o of_o probity_n or_o of_o justice_n properly_z so_o call_v i._o the_o other_o part_n of_o justice_n be_v probity_n by_o which_o we_o give_v to_o every_o man_n what_o be_v his_o own_o and_o this_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n political_n oeconomical_a and_o moral_a the_o first_o contain_v the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n towards_o the_o people_n and_o of_o the_o people_n to_o the_o magistrate_n the_o second_o refer_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o father_n towards_o child_n wife_n and_o family_n and_o of_o each_o of_o these_o towards_o their_o master_n father_n and_o husband_n the_o three_o refer_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o private_a man_n or_o at_o least_o of_o equal_n each_o to_o other_o of_o all_o which_o to_o speak_v in_o particular_a will_v be_v too_o tedious_a ii_o but_o this_o in_o short_a may_v be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o part_n of_o a_o magistrate_n to_o act_v against_o reason_n or_o to_o be_v sway_v by_o his_o own_o passion_n but_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o adhere_v to_o what_o be_v prescribe_v by_o law_n and_o by_o right_a
