revelation_n extant_a which_o by_o those_o many_o miraculous_a effect_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n that_o attend_v the_o ministration_n of_o they_o have_v be_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v to_o be_v of_o a_o divine_a original_a and_o such_o be_v those_o contain_v in_o the_o five_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o have_v be_v all_o most_o ample_o confirm_v both_o by_o the_o miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o their_o inspire_a author_n and_o the_o exact_a accomplishment_n of_o the_o several_a prediction_n contain_v in_o they_o and_o such_o be_v also_o the_o last_o and_o best_a revelation_n contain_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o both_o by_o the_o type_n and_o prediction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n and_o the_o infinite_a miracle_n wrought_v by_o jesus_n and_o his_o follower_n together_o with_o its_o own_o inherent_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n have_v be_v so_o effectual_o prove_v a_o divine_a revelation_n that_o nothing_o but_o ignorance_n or_o inveterate_a prejudice_n can_v cause_v any_o man_n to_o disbelieve_v or_o suspect_v it_o now_o if_o you_o consult_v these_o several_a revelation_n you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o main_a drift_n and_o design_n of_o they_o be_v to_o detect_v and_o expose_v what_o be_v moral_o evil_a and_o explain_v and_o recommend_v to_o we_o what_o be_v moral_o good_a for_o thus_o the_o several_a revelation_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o child_n be_v only_o so_o many_o repetition_n of_o that_o covenant_n of_o righteousness_n which_o god_n have_v strike_v with_o they_o to_o encourage_v they_o to_o persevere_v in_o welldoing_a thus_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n consist_v partly_o of_o ceremonial_a rite_n which_o be_v either_o intend_v for_o divine_a hieroglyphic_n to_o instruct_v that_o dull_a and_o stupid_a people_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o inward_a purity_n and_o goodness_n or_o else_o for_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o partly_o of_o precept_n of_o morality_n together_o with_o some_o few_o of_o policy_n suit_v to_o the_o genius_n of_o that_o people_n and_o partly_o of_o such_o promise_n and_o threat_v as_o be_v judge_v most_o apt_a to_o oblige_v they_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o piety_n and_o as_o for_o the_o prophet_n the_o substance_n of_o their_o revelation_n be_v either_o reprehension_n of_o sin_n together_o with_o severe_a denunciation_n against_o it_o or_o invitation_n to_o virtue_n and_o piety_n together_o with_o gracious_a promise_n to_o encourage_v they_o to_o practice_v it_o or_o prediction_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o of_o that_o everlasting_a righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v introduce_v by_o he_o and_o then_o as_o for_o the_o gospel_n all_o the_o duty_n of_o it_o consist_v either_o in_o instance_n or_o mean_n and_o instrument_n of_o moral_a goodness_n and_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o powerful_a argument_n to_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o duty_n thus_o the_o great_a intendment_n of_o all_o god_n revelation_n be_v to_o explain_v and_o enforce_v the_o duty_n of_o morality_n to_o discover_v the_o nature_n and_o lead_v we_o on_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o by_o the_o most_o powerful_a obligation_n and_o in_o this_o most_o perfect_a map_n of_o the_o road_n to_o happiness_n all_o the_o tract_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n be_v so_o plain_o describe_v and_o delineate_v to_o we_o that_o no_o man_n can_v possible_o miss_v his_o way_n that_o sincere_o inquire_v after_o it_o for_o though_o in_o matter_n of_o opinion_n man_n may_v be_v innocent_o mislead_v and_o deceive_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o article_n either_o of_o doctrine_n or_o duty_n upon_o which_o our_o happiness_n necessary_o depend_v wherein_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o honest_a and_o diligent_a mind_n to_o be_v mistake_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o how_o many_o excellent_a way_n god_n have_v discover_v to_o we_o which_o of_o our_o action_n be_v good_a and_o which_o evil_a so_o that_o if_o after_o all_o this_o we_o proceed_v in_o any_o sinful_a and_o immoral_a course_n we_o be_v utter_o inexcusable_a for_o if_o after_o god_n have_v thus_o plain_o make_v know_v his_o will_n to_o we_o we_o still_o persist_v to_o contradict_v it_o in_o our_o practice_n we_o do_v thereby_o in_o effect_n declare_v that_o we_o regard_v not_o the_o almighty_a and_o that_o we_o will_v do_v what_o we_o list_v let_v he_o will_v what_o he_o please_v and_o what_o a_o unpardonable_a insolence_n be_v it_o for_o we_o who_o depend_v upon_o his_o breath_n and_o hang_v upon_o his_o providence_n every_o moment_n to_o treat_v he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o we_o and_o be_v the_o mere_a cypher_n and_o most_o insignificant_a be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v not_o make_v so_o full_a a_o discovery_n of_o his_o will_n to_o some_o as_o to_o other_o yet_o he_o have_v so_o sufficient_o discover_v it_o to_o all_o that_o none_o can_v pretend_v to_o the_o excuse_n either_o of_o invincible_a or_o unaffected_a ignorance_n for_o as_o for_o the_o heathen_a though_o they_o have_v no_o revelation_n of_o god_n will_v without_o they_o yet_o they_o have_v the_o bible_n of_o conscience_n within_o they_o and_o the_o large_a and_o legible_a bible_n of_o nature_n that_o lie_v continual_o open_a before_o they_o in_o which_o they_o may_v easy_o read_v the_o principal_a difference_n between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o all_o the_o great_a principle_n of_o morality_n and_o if_o notwithstanding_o this_o they_o will_v be_v so_o regardless_o of_o god_n as_o not_o to_o attend_v to_o and_o comply_v with_o those_o natural_a discovery_n of_o his_o will_n what_o pretence_n can_v be_v make_v for_o they_o why_o they_o shall_v not_o perish_v for_o ever_o in_o their_o obstinacy_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o though_o they_o have_v not_o the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o revealed_z law_n yet_o they_o do_v or_o at_o least_o may_v have_v do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o as_o many_o of_o they_o say_v he_o as_o sind_z without_o this_o reveal_v law_n
