worship_n all_o which_o be_v fruit_n unforced_o and_o easy_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o if_o we_o right_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o they_o all_o intimate_v that_o

be_v invade_v with_o fear_n or_o be_v unterrifide_v according_o as_o they_o condemn_v or_o acquit_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o from_o this_o supposal_n be_v that_o

a_o man_n have_v do_v thus_o or_o thus_o be_v a_o natural_a acknowledgement_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v guide_v and_o direct_v from_o some_o discern_a principle_n which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o

because_o the_o usualnesse_n of_o such_o danger_n have_v make_v they_o loose_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o danger_n not_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o god_n it_o be_v also_o very_o natural_a for_o a_o man_n that_o follow_v honest_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v full_a of_o good_a hope_n and_o much_o at_o ease_n and_o secure_a that_o all_o thing_n at_o home_n and_o abroad_o

to_o their_o expectation_n in_o this_o world_n it_o do_v natural_o bring_v in_o a_o belief_n of_o a_o world_n to_o come_v nor_o do_v it_o at_o all_o enervate_a the_o strength_n of_o this_o argument_n that_o some_o man_n have_v lose_v the_o sense_n and_o difference_n betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a if_o there_o be_v any_o so_o full_o degenerate_a but_o let_v we_o suppose_v it_o this_o be_v a_o

the_o reason_n be_v plain_a there_o have_v be_v force_n do_v to_o their_o natural_a faculty_n and_o they_o have_v put_v out_o their_o sight_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v from_o natural_a conscience_n in_o a_o man_n that_o put_v he_o upon_o hope_n and_o fear_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a from_o what_o he_o do_v or_o omit_v though_o those_o action_n and_o omission_n do_v nothing_o to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v a_o intelligent_a principle_n over_o universal_a nature_n that_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o action_n of_o man_n that_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o else_o this_o natural_a faculty_n will_v be_v false_a and_o vain_a now_o for_o adoration_n or_o religious_a worship_n it_o be_v as_o universal_a as_o mankind_n there_o be_v no_o nation_n under_o the_o cope_n of_o heaven_n that_o do_v not_o do_v divine_a worship_n to_o something_o or_o other_o and_o in_o it_o to_o god_n as_o they_o conceive_v wherefore_o according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a natural_a light_n that_o be_v in_o all_o man_n there_o be_v a_o god_n nor_o can_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v avoid_v by_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o universal_a tradition_n that_o have_v be_v time_n out_o of_o mind_n spread_v among_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o which_o yet_o can_v at_o all_o be_v prove_v in_o that_o it_o be_v universal_o receive_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o that_o which_o all_o man_n admit_v as_o true_a though_o upon_o the_o proposal_n of_o another_o be_v undoubted_o to_o be_v term_v true_a according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n as_o many_o hundred_o of_o geometrical_a demonstration_n that_o be_v first_o the_o invention_n of_o some_o one_o man_n have_v pass_v undeniable_a through_o all_o age_n and_o place_n for_o true_a according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n with_o they_o that_o be_v but_o learner_n not_o inventour_n of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o thing_n true_a according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o no_o man_n upon_o a_o perception_n of_o what_o be_v propound_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o clear_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o need_v ●easons_n to_o back_o it_o will_v ever_o stick_v to_o acknowledge_v for_o a_o truth_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o nation_n that_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o god_n as_o they_o may_v be_v it_o be_v likely_a of_o

if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v universal_o receive_v of_o all_o nation_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v not_o true_a at_o all_o as_o for_o example_n that_o the_o sun_n move_v about_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o the_o earth_n stand_v still_o as_o the_o fix_a centre_n of_o the_o world_n which_o the_o best_a of_o astronomer_n and_o the_o profound_a of_o philosopher_n pronounce_v to_o be_v false_a i_o answer_v that_o in_o some_o sense_n it_o do_v stand_v still_o if_o you_o understand_v by_o motion_n the_o translation_n of_o a_o body_n out_o of_o the_o vicinity_n of_o other_o body_n but_o suppose_v it_o do_v not_o stand_v still_o this_o come_v not_o home_n to_o our_o case_n for_o

of_o a_o candle_n therefore_o you_o see_v here_o be_v a_o clash_n of_o the_o faculty_n one_o against_o another_o and_o the_o strong_a carry_v it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o faculty_n that_o can_v be_v pretend_v to_o clash_v with_o the_o judgement_n of_o reason_n and_o natural_a sagacity_n that_o so_o easy_o either_o conclude_v or_o presage_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n wherefore_o that_o may_v well_o go_v for_o a_o truth_n according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n
if_o we_o consult_v our_o own_o faculty_n and_o the_o idea_n of_o god_n utter_o impossible_a but_o admit_v it_o possible_a this_o bare_a possibility_n be_v so_o lax_n so_o weak_a and_o so_o
