it_o be_v only_o those_o who_o taste_v the_o honeycomb_n that_o can_v best_o discover_v its_o sweetness_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v prodigious_o strange_a that_o the_o imperfect_a glance_n of_o future_a

they_o do_v indeed_o think_v it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a will_v in_o another_o life_n since_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o this_o reward_v good_a man_n and_o punish_v the_o bad_a but_o they_o can_v not_o be_v beyond_o all_o doubt_n ascertain_v that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o the_o most_o celebrate_a socrates_n who_o part_v with_o

the_o best_a of_o man_n have_v their_o own_o fail_n and_o no_o wonder_n though_o these_o breed_v some_o trouble_n and_o disquiet_v but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v disconsolate_a for_o be_v good_a but_o for_o do_v evil_a and_o indeed_o i_o may_v add_v that_o the_o great_a abomination_n and_o profanity_n the_o contempt_n of_o religion_n and_o dishonour_n that_o be_v do_v to_o god_n that_o

their_o face_n and_o appear_v sad_a and_o demure_a a_o good_a man_n choose_v rather_o with_o david_n to_o mourn_v in_o secret_a and_o when_o he_o appear_v in_o public_a to_o wash_v his_o face_n than_o

cast_v upon_o holiness_n be_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o singularity_n and_o a_o vain_a ambition_n to_o walk_v alone_o ans._n i_o be_o hearty_o sorry_a that_o the_o universal_a deluge_n of_o impiety_n shall_v make_v good_a man_n say_v as_o once_o elijah_n do_v in_o another_o case_n i_o be_o only_o leave_v the_o few_o number_n of_o good_a man_n compare_v with_o the_o vast_a

will_v not_o run_v with_o they_o to_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n and_o wallow_v in_o the_o mire_n as_o they_o do_v but_o true_o this_o charge_n be_v not_o more_o rational_a than_o if_o a_o company_n of_o mad_a man_n shall_v call_v one_o a_o singular_a fool_n because_o he_o do_v not_o comply_v with_o they_o in_o all_o their_o extravagant_a act_n which_o do_v real_o rather_o require_v pity_n and_o compassion_n than_o imitation_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o singularity_n in_o some_o case_n be_v a_o very_a intolerable_a temper_n and_o unbecoming_a any_o man_n who_o pretend_v wisdom_n but_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v universal_o condemn_v and_o in_o no_o case_n admit_v as_o reasonable_a i_o do_v see_v but_o the_o charge_n will_v rebound_v upon_o the_o sinner_n who_o in_o this_o degenerate_a age_n think_v the_o worse_a of_o himself_o if_o he_o exceed_v not_o other_o in_o wickedness_n but_o since_o holiness_n be_v so_o conformable_a to_o humane_a reason_n so_o advantageous_a and_o beneficial_a to_o every_o man_n what_o madness_n be_v it_o to_o condemn_v it_o as_o singular_a sure_o he_o who_o intend_v to_o walk_v as_o a_o man_n who_o be_v of_o a_o good_a understanding_n as_o good_a man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v who_o intend_v to_o mind_v his_o interest_n and_o happiness_n will_v never_o be_v fright_v from_o holiness_n because_o may_v be_v it_o be_v not_o in_o vogue_n nor_o become_v the_o mode_n of_o the_o kingdom_n if_o a_o whole_a kingdom_n except_v a_o few_o shall_v rebel_v against_o their_o prince_n will_v it_o be_v any_o blot_n upon_o these_o few_o loyal_a subject_n that_o they_o affect_v singularity_n but_o this_o cavil_n be_v so_o insignificant_a and_o silly_a that_o i_o need_v not_o enlarge_v sure_o since_o holiness_n be_v the_o peculiar_a excellency_n and_o noble_a embellishment_n of_o humane_a nature_n since_o it_o be_v so_o venerable_a and_o lovely_a and_o of_o all_o perfection_n the_o most_o excellent_a he_o must_v be_v degenerate_a to_o the_o brutal_a nature_n who_o condemn_v singularity_n in_o holiness_n for_o this_o be_v in_o truth_n a_o condemn_v a_o man_n because_o he_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o his_o neghbour_n as_o the_o righteous_a be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o scripture_n the_o last_o heavy_a charge_n be_v that_o it_o be_v folly_n and_o madness_n for_o man_n to_o quit_v with_o their_o present_a pleasure_n and_o expose_v themselves_o to_o grievous_a trouble_n for_o a_o future_a reward_n which_o be_v uncertain_a and_o which_o no_o body_n ever_o see_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n to_o think_v that_o holiness_n expose_v man_n to_o relinquish_v temporal_a and_o sensual_a pleasure_n there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n so_o qualify_v to_o experiment_n the_o sweetness_n of_o these_o none_o who_o live_v in_o so_o happy_a and_o flourish_a condition_n who_o be_v more_o healthful_a and_o enjoy_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o peace_n and_o quietness_n than_o good_a man_n the_o only_a inconveniency_n they_o be_v expose_v to_o be_v affliction_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n which_o when_o christianity_n do_v commence_v be_v no_o rare_a thing_n but_o now_o be_v not_o so_o ordinary_a but_o suppose_v good_a man_n be_v expose_v to_o great_a affliction_n than_o other_o man_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o satisfaction_n in_o submit_v to_o they_o since_o they_o be_v but_o light_a affliction_n and_o momentary_a too_o which_o work_n for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceee_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n these_o small_a evil_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v endure_v than_o last_a pain_n and_o torment_n sure_o of_o two_o evil_n the_o least_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v second_o although_o the_o reward_n of_o holiness_n be_v future_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o uncertain_a we_o have_v as_o great_a assurance_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a in_o another_o world_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o sure_o he_o be_v a_o unwise_a man_n that_o ask_v any_o other_o demonstration_n or_o proof_n now_o that_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n lay_v up_o for_o good_a man_n which_o though_o unseen_a be_v yet_o as_o certain_a as_o if_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o sense_n we_o have_v the_o great_a rational_a evidence_n and_o the_o best_a moral_a argument_n to_o confirm_v it_o for_o first_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n second_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n more_o certain_a than_o that_o there_o be_v a_o state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n after_o this_o life_n first_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n than_o we_o can_v have_v no_o reasonable_a scruple_n about_o the_o future_a reward_n for_o since_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o just_a perfection_n essential_a to_o a_o deity_n then_o certain_o he_o will_v as_o the_o great_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n reward_n virtue_n and_o punish_v vice_n but_o this_o do_v not_o always_o fall_v out_o so_o here_o therefore_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v reserve_v the_o wicked_a till_o that_o great_a day_n of_o wrath_n and_o prepare_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a second_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o he_o who_o run_v may_v read_v this_o truth_n we_o have_v then_o the_o great_a moral_a assurance_n possible_a that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a reward_n which_o may_v sufficient_o encourage_v man_n to_o hazard_v all_o they_o enjoy_v here_o for_o the_o expectation_n of_o it_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o suppose_v that_o the_o future_a reward_n be_v possible_a which_o i_o think_v few_o will_v deny_v or_o can_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a yet_o even_o upon_o this_o supposition_n good_a man_n who_o part_n
