to_o provoke_v their_o lust_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o their_o penance_n be_v over_o but_o that_o they_o take_v all_o the_o care_n they_o can_v when_o they_o see_v they_o in_o earnest_n in_o religion_n to_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o though_o they_o be_v great_a sinner_n and_o have_v so_o and_o so_o transgress_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o a_o very_a

and_o therefore_o shall_v cast_v it_o into_o a_o appendix_n at_o the_o conclusion_n in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o deist_n of_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o use_v iii_o conviction_n by_o way_n of_o conviction_n we_o have_v indeed_o a_o great_a many_o atheist_n and_o more_o perhaps_o than_o ever_o be_v in_o any_o age_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o but_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o better_a nature_a and_o more_o civil_a person_n that_o abhor_v atheism_n as_o contrary_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o all_o government_n and_o civil_a society_n itself_o for_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o trust_n in_o any_o man_n where_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n upon_o conscience_n but_o every_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o act_v as_o he_o judge_v it_o convenient_a to_o his_o present_a interest_n i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o acknowledge_v a_o god_n and_o providence_n and_o the_o reality_n of_o moral_a good_a and_o evil_a just_a and_o unjust_a but_o they_o suspend_v their_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o applaud_v themselves_o and_o think_v themselves_o in_o a_o very_a good_a condition_n if_o they_o live_v honest_o and_o virtuous_o and_o depend_v upon_o god_n providence_n for_o protection_n in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n and_o conclude_v it_o shall_v all_o go_v well_o with_o they_o hereafter_o but_o how_o far_o be_v these_o remove_v from_o the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o working_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n which_o we_o find_v in_o this_o seven_o and_o 8_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n they_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o no_o question_n they_o find_v some_o of_o they_o at_o least_o write_v in_o their_o heart_n according_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n paul_n write_v in_o rom._n 2.14_o 15._o but_o they_o ought_v to_o find_v how_o hard_o it_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n how_o this_o law_n convince_v they_o of_o sin_n and_o then_o when_o they_o think_v to_o amend_v their_o way_n and_o to_o do_v good_a how_o they_o be_v plunge_v by_o it_o into_o more_o sin_n and_o the_o more_o strict_a they_o be_v upon_o themselves_o and_o the_o more_o rigid_o they_o deal_v with_o themselves_o towards_o mortification_n of_o any_o extravagancy_n the_o more_o they_o shall_v find_v their_o lust_n enrage_v or_o perhaps_o fall_v into_o another_o extreme_a vice_n for_o i_o question_v not_o but_o it_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v by_o a_o able_a pen_n that_o all_o seek_v to_o mortify_v lust_n by_o the_o law_n only_o command_v and_o condemn_v will_v in_o the_o end_n make_v the_o better_a side_n the_o worse_o and_o though_o man_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n and_o
