a_o guide_n who_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v blind_a 2._o when_o he_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o god_n it_o can_v but_o be_v very_o fit_a to_o ask_v again_o be_v it_o safe_a so_o to_o do_v or_o be_v it_o unsafe_a to_o do_v otherwise_o he_o can_v assure_v we_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o god_n because_o he_o can_v make_v we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v none_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o unsafe_a to_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n because_o it_o can_v do_v no_o hurt_n be_v it_o reasonable_a then_o to_o leave_v the_o safe_a way_n we_o be_v already_o in_o that_o we_o may_v follow_v he_o into_o another_o wherein_o he_o can_v promise_v we_o any_o safety_n at_o all_o 3._o if_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o god_n it_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a to_o ask_v he_o why_o will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o or_o what_o good_a will_v it_o do_v either_o he_o or_o we_o if_o it_o will_v do_v neither_o any_o good_a why_o shall_v he_o persuade_v we_o or_o we_o be_v persuade_v to_o a_o unprofitable_a thing_n there_o be_v danger_n in_o it_o and_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o do_v what_o we_o know_v it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o do_v till_o we_o see_v what_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o 4._o if_o he_o say_v it_o be_v fit_a to_o believe_v it_o mere_o because_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n we_o must_v needs_o ask_v again_o how_o do_v he_o know_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o ask_v he_o this_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o tell_v we_o how_o he_o know_v it_o or_o to_o know_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v yet_o no_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n because_o he_o only_o call_v it_o so_o who_o do_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v so_o but_o suppose_v it_o be_v i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o ask_v he_o again_o be_v he_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o will_v he_o indeed_o have_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o for_o a_o truth_n if_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a we_o shall_v believe_v it_o why_o do_v he_o tempt_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o if_o he_o will_v indeed_o have_v we_o believe_v it_o will_v he_o not_o also_o have_v we_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o man_n of_o that_o belief_n if_o not_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o if_o he_o will_v have_v we_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o man_n that_o believe_v not_o a_o god_n then_o may_v we_o do_v what_o we_o will_v and_o can_v we_o may_v rob_v his_o house_n take_v his_o money_n defile_v his_o wife_n and_o cut_v his_o throat_n if_o he_o deny_v this_o let_v we_o ask_v he_o what_o be_v it_o that_o can_v make_v it_o unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n what_o shall_v restrain_v man_n from_o do_v any_o thing_n they_o can_v for_o their_o own_o advantage_n this_o be_v all_o that_o the_o atheist_n can_v gain_v by_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v of_o his_o opinion_n that_o he_o lay_v himself_o at_o every_o man_n mercy_n to_o deal_v as_o he_o will_v with_o he_o and_o can_v say_v that_o man_n sin_n that_o knock_v he_o on_o the_o head_n for_o his_o good_a advice_n 2._o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n every_o one_o that_o be_v wise_a will_v not_o only_o think_v himself_o high_o concern_v to_o believe_v it_o but_o so_o to_o live_v and_o behave_v himself_o in_o the_o world_n as_o may_v be_v most_o please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god._n to_o what_o purpose_n can_v it_o be_v tobelieve_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o what_o good_a can_v this_o belief_n do_v we_o if_o it_o do_v not_o engage_v we_o to_o live_v as_o man_n who_o be_v sensible_a that_o they_o have_v a_o god_n over_o they_o who_o they_o be_v concern_v to_o please_v in_o all_o thing_n certain_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n who_o make_v we_o and_o all_o thing_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v concern_v with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o he_o and_o as_o we_o can_v expect_v no_o good_a thing_n but_o from_o he_o who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o disposer_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o neither_o can_v we_o hope_v to_o receive_v any_o good_a thing_n from_o he_o if_o we_o do_v not_o our_o endeavour_n to_o please_v he_o why_o shall_v we_o thinkhe_v will_v bless_v we_o according_a to_o our_o desire_n if_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o according_a to_o his_o will_n that_o therefore_o we_o may_v reap_v the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o this_o so_o necessary_a a_o belief_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v well_o what_o it_o be_v that_o we_o believe_v and_o what_o duty_n that_o belief_n must_v needs_o bind_v upon_o we_o that_o which_o we_o believe_v be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o to_o be_v god_n be_v to_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n and_o author_n the_o maker_n preserver_n lord_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o the_o high_a power_n the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o the_o chief_a good_n now_o if_o god_n be_v all_o this_o than_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a for_o every_o one_o to_o see_v certain_a duty_n lie_v upon_o we_o as_o we_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n which_o natural_o arise_v from_o what_o we_o believe_v even_o from_o this_o one_o point_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god._n 1._o god_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n author_n and_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n he_o be_v the_o very_a fountain_n and_o original_a of_o all_o be_v and_o life_n power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n all_o these_o be_v in_o he_o original_o as_o in_o the_o inexhaustible_a spring_n and_o fountain_n and_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o what_o be_v derive_v from_o he_o neither_o can_v any_o of_o these_o be_v any_o long_o in_o the_o world_n than_o it_o please_v he_o all_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o plain_a to_o every_o understanding_n if_o then_o we_o will_v live_v as_o man_n who_o be_v sensible_a that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n by_o who_o we_o live_v and_o without_o who_o nothing_o can_v have_v either_o life_n or_o be_v we_o must_v needs_o first_o have_v the_o high_a and_o most_o honourable_a thought_n of_o god_n the_o great_a reverence_n and_o esteem_v for_o he_o that_o can_v possible_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v of_o he_o as_o of_o one_o who_o excellency_n and_o virtue_n though_o they_o exceed_v those_o of_o any_o other_o be_v whatsoever_o be_v yet_o contain_v within_o such_o or_o such_o bound_n or_o limit_n or_o be_v at_o such_o a_o degree_n and_o no_o high_o but_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o he_o as_o of_o one_o who_o in_o the_o perfectiction_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v infinite_o above_o all_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n of_o

and_o even_o be_v ravish_v with_o those_o unconceivable_a excellency_n which_o to_o discern_v more_o clear_o will_v be_v our_o eternal_a happiness_n in_o heaven_n our_o heart_n therefore_o shall_v be_v always_o fill_v with_o and_o our_o mouth_n shall_v sound_v forth_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n every_o one_o sing_v with_o the_o holy_a psalmist_n bless_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o all_o
