excellent_a credit_n for_o the_o establish_v ministry_n under_o who_o conduct_n and_o teach_v they_o live_v cav_n i_o confess_v if_o all_o the_o soul_n in_o england_n be_v under_o the_o actual_a

by_o those_o wander_v star_n who_o have_v no_o fixure_n from_o heaven_n nor_o establishment_n on_o earth_n it_o be_v this_o sort_n of_o seduce_a people_n for_o who_o that_o reflection_n be_v intend_v and_o therefore_o have_v you_o be_v unpassionate_a you_o may_v have_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fanatick_n let_v to_o speak_v that_o passage_n and_o as_o of_o those_o of_o his_o own_o tribe_n and_o indeed_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o most_o of_o those_o delude_a people_n have_v no_o more_o skill_n in_o primitive_a christianity_n than_o the_o chineses_n have_v in_o mathematics_n and_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a they_o shall_v have_v a_o clear_a notion_n of_o religion_n who_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o mist_n of_o darkness_n as_o st._n judas_n call_v the_o schismatic_n of_o old_a i_o suppose_v you_o have_v see_v the_o authentic_a speech_n of_o kid_n and_o king_n the_o two_o late_a preach_a rebel_n of_o scotland_n be_v not_o they_o excellent_a professor_n of_o divinity_n how_o passionate_o do_v they_o expound_v some_o text_n of_o moses_n for_o the_o religious_a observation_n of_o the_o scottish_a covenant_n which_o have_v no_o more_o relation_n to_o that_o matter_n than_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o cow_n in_o the_o alcoran_n of_o mahomet_n and_o you_o can_v expect_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v have_v more_o judgement_n than_o their_o rabbi_n and_o therefore_o when_o some_o of_o the_o captive-rebel_n be_v interrogated_a for_o what_o reason_n they_o take_v up_o arm_n they_o answer_v for_o defence_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v further_o examine_v for_o what_o truth_n they_o can_v give_v no_o account_n of_o that_o and_o be_v catechize_v they_o do_v not_o know_v two_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a creed_n nor_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o as_o for_o their_o duty_n towards_o god_n or_o their_o neighbour_n i_o suppose_v you_o will_v easy_o grant_v they_o be_v never_o teach_v such_o mere_a moral_a divinity_n now_o pray_v sir_n consider_v how_o can_v such_o silly_a woman_n and_o uneducated_a man_n who_o be_v scarce_o over_o teach_v any_o other_o gospel_n than_o that_o according_a to_o the_o canticle_n who_o never_o hear_v any_o other_o

have_v in_o clockwork_n but_o as_o for_o that_o humble_a and_o devout_a part_n of_o the_o commonalty_n who_o have_v live_v in_o a_o constant_a communion_n with_o the_o establish_v church_n i_o believe_v they_o have_v a_o better_a understanding_n of_o christian_a religion_n than_o most_o of_o the_o friar_n of_o rome_n or_o the_o people-driver_n of_o england_n this_o expression_n may_v

by_o church_n and_o state_n as_o the_o national_a sacrifice_n to_o the_o eternal_a god_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o the_o god_n of_o infinite_a perfection_n shall_v not_o be_v affront_v with_o the_o sleight_n oblation_n of_o half_a a_o sacrifice_n but_o i_o know_v some_o who_o the_o people_n will_v call_v sober_a and_o moderate_a man_n who_o like_o the_o irregular_a son_n of_o eli_n will_v choose_v and_o snatch_v at_o some_o peculiar_a part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o best_o please_v their_o nice_a fancy_n and_o leave_v the_o rest_n as_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v touch_v it_o be_v prescribe_v both_o by_o authority_n of_o church_n and_o parliament_n that_o the_o communion-office_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o catholick-praier_n shall_v upon_o all_o sunday_n and_o festival_n be_v read_v at_o the_o holy_a table_n and_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o innovation_n that_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n for_o about_o 1500_o year_n never_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o

i_o know_v man_n within_o the_o establish_a church_n who_o be_v more_o unwilling_a to_o go_v to_o the_o altar_n than_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o go_v up_o to_o mount_n calvar_n man_n who_o never_o

who_o minister_n shall_v read_v the_o public_a prayer_n with_o a_o distinct_a and_o audible_a voice_n i_o know_v some_o of_o these_o moderate_a man_n who_o read_v they_o with_o such_o cold_a and_o
