the_o natural_a knowledge_n which_o man_n have_v of_o god_n be_v when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o sure_a and_o fast_o hold_v that_o religion_n have_v on_o humane_a nature_n beside_o how_o shall_v god_n

they_o can_v be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v for_o it_o for_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n and_o now_o this_o be_v establish_v that_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a knowledge_n of_o god_n if_o they_o contradict_v it_o by_o their_o life_n and_o practice_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o detain_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o unrighteousness_n for_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n prove_v the_o heathen_a to_o be_v guilty_a of_o hold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n because_o notwithstanding_o the_o natural_a knowledge_n which_o they_o have_v of_o god_n by_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v make_v they_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o gross_a idolatry_n and_o the_o most_o abominable_a sin_n and_o vice_n and_o this_o concern_v we_o much_o more_o who_o have_v the_o glorious_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n add_v to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o if_o they_o who_o offend_v against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o

this_o that_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o those_o great_a duty_n which_o result_n from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o so_o that_o whatever_o man_n say_v and_o pretend_v as_o to_o the_o main_a thing_n of_o religion_n the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n towards_o man_n setting_z aside_o divine_a revelation_n we_o be_v all_o natural_o convince_v of_o our_o duty_n and_o of_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o those_o who_o live_v in_o a_o bad_a course_n need_v only_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o what_o they_o natural_o know_v

of_o the_o great_a day_n than_o ever_o be_v make_v to_o the_o world_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o observation_n which_o i_o shall_v speak_v but_o brief_o to_o namely_o that_o every_o wicked_a and_o vicious_a practice_n do_v expose_v man_n to_o this_o dreadful_a danger_n the_o apostle_n instance_v in_o the_o two_o chief_a head_n to_o which_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n may_v be_v reduce_v impiety_n towards_o god_n and_o unrighteousness_n towards_o men●_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v to_o denounce_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o every_o particular_a kind_n of_o sin_n comprehend_v under_o these_o general_a head_n so_o that_o no_o man_n that_o allow_v himself_o in_o any_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n of_o life_n can_v hope_v to_o escape_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o be_v entire_o religious_a and_o to_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o sin_n whatsoever_o because_o the_o live_n in_o any_o one_o know_a sin_n be_v enough_o to_o expose_v we_o to_o the_o dreadful_a wrath_n of_o god_n though_o a_o man_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a in_o his_o dealing_n with_o man_n yet_o if_o he_o neglect_v the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n this_o will_v certain_o bring_v he_o under_o condemnation_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n though_o a_o man_n may_v serve_v god_n never_o so_o diligent_o and_o devout_o yet_o if_o he_o be_v defective_a in_o righteousness_n towards_o man_n if_o he_o deal_v false_o and_o fraudulent_o with_o his_o neighbour_n he_o shall_v not_o escape_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n though_o a_o man_n pretend_v to_o never_o so_o much_o piety_n and_o
