against_o the_o same_o danger_n hereafter_o in_o order_n to_o both_o i_o shall_v discourse_n of_o these_o word_n in_o this_o manner_n 1._o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o particular_a cause_n of_o the_o

pretence_n of_o religious_a cruelty_n not_o only_o as_o to_o such_o extreme_n but_o also_o as_o to_o any_o kind_n of_o violence_n offer_v to_o our_o fellow_n christian_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o christianity_n and_o show_v that_o this_o be_v proportionable_o unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a 3._o i_o shall_v make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o these_o jew_n deliverance_n and_o compare_v our_o own_o with_o it_o and_o have_v say_v something_o upon_o each_o of_o these_o shall_v conclude_v all_o with_o the_o duty_n of_o thanksgiving_n which_o be_v the_o design_n of_o these_o word_n and_o the_o business_n of_o this_o day_n 1._o i_o be_o to_o consider_v the_o particular_a cause_n for_o which_o these_o man_n be_v bring_v into_o this_o great_a danger_n namely_o for_o that_o they_o will_v not_o serve_v nor_o worship_v any_o god_n except_o their_o own_o god_n but_o the_o injustice_n of_o require_v this_o of_o they_o must_v appear_v at_o the_o first_o glance_n because_o it_o be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o natural_a reason_n but_o also_o to_o that_o law_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v reveal_v to_o their_o forefather_n there_o be_v no_o one_o that_o have_v any_o conception_n of_o god_n but_o must_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v infinite_a in_o all_o his_o attribute_n but_o infinity_o imply_n unity_n there_o can_v be_v more_o than_o one_o almighty_a or_o alwise_a than_o one_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n or_o than_o one_o supreme_a governor_n of_o they_o all_o therefore_o if_o this_o be_v be_v but_o one_o divine_a worship_n must_v be_v due_a to_o he_o alone_o to_o give_v it_o to_o any_o other_o object_n will_v be_v the_o make_v that_o god_n and_o not_o only_o the_o most_o provoke_a affront_n to_o the_o great_a creator_n but_o the_o confusion_n of_o all_o belief_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o all_o morality_n this_o make_v god_n forbid_v the_o jew_n the_o serve_v any_o of_o the_o god_n of_o the_o neighbour_a nation_n under_o such_o severe_a penalty_n upon_o any_o pretence_n of_o miracle_n whatsoever_o particular_o 13_o deut._n 1_o etc._n etc._n if_o there_o arise_v among_o you_o a_o prophet_n and_o give_v a_o sign_n or_o wonder_n to_o entice_v you_o to_o serve_v other_o god_n and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v thou_o shall_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o word_n of_o that_o prophet_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n if_o thy_o brother_n thy_o son_n thy_o daughter_n the_o wife_n of_o thy_o bosom_n or_o thy_o friend_n which_o be_v as_o thy_o own_o soul_n entice_v thou_o secret_o say_v let_v we_o serve_v other_o god_n thou_o shall_v not_o spare_v nor_o conceal_v he_o but_o thou_o shall_v sure_o kill_v he_o since_o this_o then_o be_v not_o only_o against_o reason_n but_o revelation_n since_o god_n by_o so_o many_o prohibition_n caution_n and_o threat_n prove_v himself_o to_o be_v jealous_a in_o this_o particular_a the_o refusal_n of_o these_o jew_n be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o high_o commendable_a and_o the_o death_n they_o be_v expose_v to_o upon_o this_o account_n barbarous_a and_o unjust_a it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o the_o danger_n which_o this_o nation_n have_v be_v expose_v to_o so_o often_o from_o open_a violence_n but_o more_o from_o base_a treachery_n have_v be_v upon_o this_o very_a account_n one_o of_o the_o great_a difference_n which_o we_o have_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v because_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v nor_o worship_v any_o god_n except_o our_o own_o god_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o profitable_a absurdity_n that_o be_v shelter_v under_o infallibility_n and_o therefore_o our_o refuse_v of_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o do_v so_o always_o provoke_v they_o in_o the_o high_a manner_n and_o make_v they_o fly_v to_o cruelty_n instead_o of_o argument_n as_o if_o image-worship_n can_v not_o be_v support_v any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o the_o same_o barbarity_n that_o it_o be_v bring_v in_o at_o first_o but_o the_o obligation_n we_o have_v to_o continue_v in_o this_o refusal_n with_o unshaken_a constancy_n be_v great_a than_o these_o jew_n have_v as_o rise_v not_o only_o from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o moses_n which_o be_v still_o in_o force_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a but_o also_o from_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o intercession_n be_v extreme_o weaken_a by_o this_o and_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel-faith_n in_o he_o alone_o and_o repentance_n through_o he_o only_o overthrow_v therefore_o as_o god_n show_v his_o approbation_n of_o
