though_o all_o these_o be_v much_o consider_v in_o that_o age_n wherein_o he_o assume_v our_o nature_n and_o he_o can_v have_v make_v himself_o as_o much_o admire_v by_o clear_v mysterious_a doubt_n in_o these_o as_o by_o work_a miracle_n but_o he_o pass_v by_o all_o these_o as_o less_o useful_a notion_n and_o such_o as_o too_o frequent_o divert_v and_o distract_v rather_o than_o inform_v he_o declare_v he_o be_v come_v to_o make_v man_n happy_a and_o begin_v his_o ministry_n by_o a_o admirable_a sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n whereby_o in_o order_n to_o the_o make_v he_o happy_a he_o teach_v he_o to_o reason_n right_o upon_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o we_o shall_v think_v dull_a matter_n be_v able_a to_o afford_v more_o noble_a contemplation_n than_o that_o subtle_a that_o sublime_a that_o vast_a and_o that_o nimble_a soul_n which_o retain_v so_o far_o the_o image_n of_o its_o maker_n as_o to_o be_v inscrutable_a in_o all_o its_o faculty_n and_o oh_o what_o wonderful_a spring_n and_o motion_n what_o various_a wind_n and_o flight_n what_o boundless_a and_o new_a sphere_n and_o world_n be_v there_o in_o his_o reflection_n and_o what_o

that_o they_o be_v pass_v find_v out_o and_o if_o a_o little_a microscope_n can_v discover_v to_o the_o eye_n new_a and_o strange_a thing_n in_o object_n that_o have_v be_v daily_o see_v without_o be_v consider_v for_o many_o age_n what_o wonderful_a discovery_n may_v serious_a think_v man_n make_v in_o so_o immense_a a_o object_n that_o have_v be_v so_o much_o neglect_v especial_o since_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n do_v change_n and_o vary_v themselves_o into_o as_o many_o shape_n and_o give_v themselves_o as_o many_o colour_n as_o they_o please_v and_o every_o duty_n or_o error_n be_v real_o a_o different_a object_n as_o they_o be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o or_o in_o opposition_n to_o one_o another_o whereas_o all_o other_o object_n be_v incapable_a of_o such_o variation_n either_o from_o themselves_o or_o other_o and_o though_o god_n have_v design_v to_o be_v know_v in_o his_o work_n yet_o he_o seem_v on_o purpose_n to_o have_v make_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o so_o

philosophy_n which_o be_v then_o only_o uncertain_a when_o like_o the_o other_o it_o grow_v more_o a_o science_n than_o a_o duty_n in_o my_o reason_n i_o will_v use_v the_o form_n prescribe_v by_o

these_o case_n or_o his_o own_o practice_n on_o all_o other_o occasion_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o he_o send_v nathan_n to_o david_n he_o ask_v he_o what_o the_o man_n deserve_v who_o have_v great_a herd_n and_o flock_n of_o his_o own_o take_v a_o poor_a man_n lamb_n out_o of_o his_o bosom_n and_o david_n have_v in_o great_a anger_n swear_v that_o he_o shall_v die_v nathan_n then_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v his_o case_n and_o condemn_v he_o from_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o god_n say_v to_o his_o people_n who_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o father_n but_o walk_v not_o suitable_o to_o their_o acknowledgement_n if_o i_o be_v a_o father_n where_o be_v my_o honour_n and_o if_o i_o be_v a_o master_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n malach._n 1._o 6._o he_o call_v to_o they_o isai._n 1._o 18._o come_v let_v we_o reason_n together_o and_o admire_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o unthinking_a man_n he_o appeal_v to_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o give_v ear_n o_o earth_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v i_o have_v nourish_v and_o bring_v up_o child_n and_o they_o have_v rebel_v against_o i_o the_o ox_n know_v his_o owner_n and_o the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v my_o people_n do_v not_o consider_v and_o in_o the_o several_a gospel_n we_o find_v our_o bless_a saviour_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n confute_v the_o jew_n and_o convince_a all_o his_o hearer_n nor_o do_v i_o find_v so_o much_o delicate_a reason_n in_o any_o of_o those_o book_n high_o esteem_v by_o our_o man_n of_o sense_n who_o slight_a too_o much_o that_o admirable_a one_o which_o god_n himself_o own_v as_o his_o sacred_a word_n and_o i_o admire_v our_o saviour_n as_o much_o for_o his_o reason_n as_o for_o his_o miracle_n thus_o when_o he_o will_v convince_v man_n of_o the_o folly_n of_o care_v immoderate_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n he_o ask_v they_o what_o profit_n shall_v it_o be_v to_o gain_v all_o the_o world_n that_o soon_o perish_v if_o they_o lose_v their_o own_o soul_n which_o be_v immortal_a and_o which_o of_o you_o say_v our_o lord_n by_o take_v thought_n can_v add_v one_o cubit_n to_o his_o stature_n and_o urge_v they_o not_o to_o fear_v want_n because_o if_o they_o who_o be_v sinful_a know_v how_o to_o provide_v for_o their_o own_o family_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n know_v how_o to_o provide_v for_o you_o if_o you_o be_v his_o child_n behold_v say_v our_o bless_a maker_n the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n for_o they_o sow_v not_o neither_o do_v they_o reap_v yet_o your_o heavenly_a father_n feed_v they_o be_v not_o you_o much_o better_a than_o they_o for_o establish_v this_o my_o position_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v that_o such_o as_o be_v reasonable_a endeavour_v to_o show_v it_o in_o the_o great_a concern_v and_o it_o imply_v a_o want_n or_o weakness_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v exact_a and_o delicate_a in_o inconsiderable_a and_o silly_a thing_n and_o yet_o to_o err_v and_o be_v careless_a in_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o who_o will_v not_o laugh_v at_o a_o ambassador_n or_o a_o general_n who_o will_v value_v himself_o upon_o his_o dance_a or_o play_v upon_o the_o lute_n bestow_v upon_o these_o exercise_n the_o time_n due_a to_o his_o king_n country_n and_o negotiation_n which_o make_v i_o admire_v why_o in_o this_o foolish_a age_n we_o call_v these_o man_n of_o good_a sense_n and_o strong_a spirit_n who_o can_v criticise_v virgil_n juvenal_n livy_n tacitus_n or_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v the_o mathematics_n or_o conversation_n while_o we_o be_v convince_v that_o albeit_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n yet_o they_o mind_v he_o not_o and_o care_v less_o for_o their_o soul_n than_o they_o do_v for_o any_o of_o their_o ordinary_a recreation_n though_o they_o be_v force_v to_o tremble_v at_o its_o ill_a condition_n when_o they_o begin_v to_o consider_v it_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o prompt_v i_o to_o write_v this_o book_n be_v the_o read_n of_o a_o french_a treatise_n de_fw-fr la_fw-fr justesse_n wherein_o though_o he_o make_v i_o expect_v great_a matter_n by_o promise_v to_o learn_v we_o to_o think_v just_o yet_o it_o only_o teach_v how_o to_o choose_v true_a epithet_n or_o understand_v criticism_n and_o such_o trivial_a knack_n but_o alas_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v regrete_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o sense_n to_o laugh_v at_o other_o for_o not_o have_v consider_v the_o plot_n and_o design_n of_o their_o play_n while_o many_o who_o pass_v for_o refine_a wit_n want_v one_o in_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o where_o the_o want_n of_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o great_a shame_n but_o be_v of_o great_a danger_n since_o a_o man_n
