call_v it_o betimes_o to_o thy_o remembrance_n will_v thou_o drive_v off_o thy_o thought_n of_o it_o to_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n to_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n and_o rude_o throw_v thyself_o

world_n to_o uphold_v the_o planet_n and_o star_n to_o guide_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n to_o maintain_v shall_v keep_v a_o register_n of_o our_o impertinency_n and_o bring_v to_o judgement_n all_o

text_n it_o be_v not_o say_v think_v or_o believe_v but_o know_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n he_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o have_v say_v in_o his_o

god_n and_o that_o man_n have_v a_o understand_a soul_n so_o sure_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n etc._n etc._n for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o must_v be_v infinite_o just_a and_o if_o so_o he_o must_v render_v to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o their_o action_n and_o if_o not_o here_o then_o hereafter_o and_o if_o so_o he_o must_v bring_v they_o to_o judgement_n but_o he_o do_v it_o not_o here_o the_o way_n of_o providence_n seem_v to_o be_v promiscuous_a there_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n to_o who_o it_o happen_v according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o a_o righteous_a man_n to_o who_o it_o happen_v according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a dives_n receive_v pleasure_n lazarus_n pain_n therefore_o so_o sure_a as_o there_o be_v a_o god_n there_o will_v be_v a_o judgement_n again_o if_o man_n have_v a_o understand_a soul_n he_o must_v have_v freedom_n in_o his_o action_n and_o if_o so_o he_o deserve_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n and_o if_o there_o be_v desert_n there_o must_v be_v reward_n and_o if_o there_o be_v reward_n there_o must_v be_v a_o judgement_n so_o then_o so_o sure_a as_o thou_o be_v a_o understand_a creature_n so_o sure_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v once_o more_o reward_n be_v answerable_a to_o desert_n and_o desert_n be_v only_o in_o what_o be_v free_a and_o what_o be_v free_a in_o man_n be_v the_o way_n of_o his_o heart_n wherefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o judgement_n and_o if_o any_o than_o all_o for_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v fancy_v why_o some_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o judgement_n and_o other_o not_o wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o man_n have_v a_o understand_a soul_n than_o it_o be_v also_o sure_a that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n that_o god_n shall_v bring_v to_o judgement_n every_o secret_a thing_n and_o now_o how_o sure_a and_o evident_a be_v these_o thing_n more_o sure_a and_o more_o plain_a if_o we_o will_v attend_v than_o any_o other_o truth_n in_o the_o world_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o know_a truth_n which_o do_v not_o evict_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n we_o know_v a_o truth_n because_o we_o plain_o and_o evident_o understand_v the_o composition_n or_o division_n of_o the_o notion_n in_o a_o proposition_n or_o the_o deduction_n of_o a_o proposition_n from_o some_o other_o therefore_o if_o we_o know_v any_o truth_n we_o presuppose_v that_o we_o have_v soul_n which_o understand_v the_o notion_n of_o thing_n and_o if_o soul_n which_o understand_v these_o notion_n then_o to_o be_v sure_o they_o be_v not_o body_n no_o combination_n os_fw-la fire_n and_o air_n and_o earth_n and_o water_n no_o disposition_n of_o insensible_a atom_n can_v cause_v the_o subject_n to_o apprehend_v and_o judge_v to_o reason_n and_o discourse_n and_o if_o they_o be_v no_o body_n than_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o corruption_n it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v understanding_n and_o also_o immortal_a deserve_v and_o capable_a of_o future_a judgement_n and_o as_o evident_a it_o be_v also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sovereign_a power_n a_o god_n that_o govern_v and_o will_v judge_v the_o earth_n this_o be_v not_o a_o rhetorical_a undertake_n but_o a_o just_a and_o measure_a truth_n there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n from_o whence_o these_o two_o may_v not_o be_v plain_o and_o evident_o evict_v viz._n a_o godhead_n from_o the_o creature_n and_o thy_o own_o immortality_n from_o the_o discovery_n of_o a_o godhead_n the_o world_n which_o thou_o see_v have_v it_o a_o beginning_n or_o have_v it_o not_o if_o it_o have_v a_o beginning_n he_o be_v thy_o god_n that_o make_v it_o if_o it_o have_v no_o beginning_n then_o there_o be_v pass_v as_o many_o miriads_o of_o year_n as_o minute_n of_o time_n which_o be_v infinite_o more_o absurd_a to_o grant_v than_o tosay_v thou_o have_v as_o many_o hand_n as_o finger_n as_o many_o whole_n as_o part_n if_o then_o at_o any_o time_n we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o doubt_v of_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o because_o we_o be_v the_o beaux_fw-fr esprits_fw-fr or_o fort_n spirit_n our_o doubt_v proceed_v from_o dulness_n and_o the_o want_n of_o that_o strong_a reason_n to_o which_o we_o do_v pretend_v the_o thing_n be_v certain_a in_o themselves_o and_o evident_a he_o be_v not_o far_o from_o any_o one_o of_o we_o in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v and_o the_o

o_o that_o be_v impossible_a whether_o shall_v we_o go_v then_o from_o his_o presence_n shall_v we_o call_v to_o the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o we_o how_o will_v thou_o appear_v o_o that_o be_v
