plenitude_n of_o bliss_n and_o delectation_n to_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v as_o certain_o true_a that_o he_o may_v be_v please_v with_o one_o kind_n of_o worship_n and_o abominate_a a_o other_o unless_o jeroboam_n who_o the_o holy_a scripture_n more_o than_o once_o say_v make_v israel_n to_o sin_n commit_v no_o crime_n nor_o consequent_o offend_v god_n in_o set_v up_o the_o calf_n in_o dan_n

since_o god_n be_v thank_v it_o be_v evident_o otherwise_o without_o doubt_v this_o author_n be_v egregious_o mistake_v certain_o god_n almighty_a if_o he_o have_v intend_v reason_n to_o be_v

the_o same_o end_n for_o as_o a_o ship_n though_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o water_n if_o it_o have_v not_o enough_o to_o make_v it_o float_v can_v no_o more_o move_v forward_o than_o if_o it_o lay_v upon_o dry_a land_n so_o it_o can_v never_o sink_v into_o my_o understanding_n how_o he_o that_o have_v less_o reason_n shall_v as_o safe_o and_o effectual_o proceed_v as_o he_o that_o have_v more_o unless_o this_o author_n can_v prove_v a_o part_n of_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o whole_a or_o demonstrate_v reason_n to_o be_v of_o the_o miraculous_a nature_n of_o the_o manna_n

that_o deep_a ocean_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o port_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n without_o embarking_a in_o that_o ecclesiastical_a ship_n the_o church_n in_o which_o if_o they_o conform_v to_o her_o doctrine_n the_o poor_a be_v as_o safe_a as_o the_o rich_a and_o the_o weak_a as_o the_o wise_a and_o in_o this_o reliance_n we_o do_v no_o more_o desert_n our_o own_o reason_n than_o a_o man_n do_v his_o corporal_a strength_n in_o take_v a_o staff_n to_o help_v and_o support_v he_o in_o a_o dangerous_a and_o slippery_a passage_n and_o whatever_o argument_n be_v advance_v to_o enervate_a the_o solidity_n of_o this_o ground_n let_v they_o never_o so_o brisk_o sally_v out_o they_o can_v be_v no_o better_o than_o mere_a empty_a ebullition_n or_o bubbling_n of_o reason_n as_o well_o say_v

the_o way_n methinks_v this_o author_n talk_v very_o incongruous_o of_o more_o than_o one_o religion_n the_o very_a word_n bear_v witness_n against_o he_o for_o the_o substantive_n religio_fw-la i_o take_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o verb_n rebigo_n to_o tye_n or_o bound_v together_o but_o his_o latitudinarian_a or_o socinian_n doctrine_n do_v not_o only_o untie_v and_o unbind_v but_o blend_v

these_o that_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o swallow_v so_o great_a a_o contradiction_n yet_o this_o the_o author_n must_v say_v if_o he_o speak_v consequent_o to_o his_o own_o argument_n be_v as_o
