if_o you_o know_v and_o do_v they_o now_o to_o convince_v man_n of_o so_o important_a a_o truth_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v out_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o gospel_n make_v

as_o it_o do_v not_o render_v a_o man_n like_o god_n so_o neither_o do_v it_o dispose_v he_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o understanding_n of_o a_o angel_n he_o may_v

in_o this_o life_n so_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o john_n 3._o 3._o every_o man_n that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purify_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a a_o wicked_a

practice_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o do_v of_o what_o we_o know_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o happiness_n and_o now_o the_o proper_a inference_n from_o all_o this_o be_v to_o

shall_v brief_o urge_v these_o three_o consideration_n first_o this_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o all_o our_o knowledge_n in_o religion_n to_o practice_v what_o we_o know_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o duty_n have_v so_o essential_a a_o respect_n to_o practice_n that_o the_o scripture_n will_v hardly_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v proper_o call_v knowledge_n unless_o it_o have_v a_o

his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o second_o practice_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o increase_v and_o perfect_v our_o knowledge_n knowledge_n direct_v we_o in_o our_o practice_n but_o practice_n confirm_v and_o increase_v our_o knowledge_n john_n 7._o 17._o if_o any_o man_n will_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o the_o doctrine_n the_o best_a way_n to_o know_v god_n be_v to_o be_v like_o he_o ourselves_o and_o to_o have_v the_o lively_a image_n of_o his_o perfection_n imprint_v upon_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o understand_v

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 judge_v that_o part_n of_o the_o world_n who_o be_v whole_o destitute_a of_o divine_a revelation_n if_o they_o have_v no_o natural_a knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v under_o the_o direction_n and_o government_n of_o any_o law_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o where_o man_n be_v guilty_a o●_n the_o breach_n of_o no_o law_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 god_n of_o how_o much_o sore_a punishment_n shall_v we_o be_v think_v worthy_a if_o we_o neglect_v those_o infinite_a advantage_n which_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v superad_v to_o natural_a light_n he_o have_v now_o set_v our_o duty_n in_o the_o clear_a and_o strong_a light_n that_o ever_o be_v afford_v to_o mankind_n so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v not_o now_o believe_v and_o repent_v there_o be_v no_o remedy_n for_o we_o but_o we_o must_v die_v in_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o sin_v wilful_o after_o so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o a_o fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a indignation_n to_o consume_v we_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v on_o this_o argument_n be_v brief_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 better_a than_o any_o body_n else_o can_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a course_n so_o that_o i_o may_v appeal_v to_o all_o wicked_a man_n from_o themselves_o rash_a and_o heat_v and_o intoxicate_v with_o pleasure_n and_o vanity_n transport_v and_o hurry_v away_o by_o lust_n and_o passion_n to_o themselves_o serious_a and_o compose_v and_o in_o a_o cool_a and_o considerate_a temper_n and_o can_v any_o sober_a man_n forbear_v to_o follow_v the_o conviction_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o to_o resolve_v to_o do_v what_o he_o inward_o consent_v to_o as_o best_o let_v we_o but_o be_v true_a to_o ourselves_o and_o obey_v the_o dictate_v of_o our_o own_o mind_n and_o give_v leave_v to_o our_o own_o conscience_n to_o counsel_n we_o and_o tell_v we_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v a_o law_n to_o ourselves_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o observation_n namely_o that_o the_o clear_a revelation_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n against_o the_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n be_v one_o principal_a thing_n which_o render_v it_o so_o very_o powerful_a and_o likely_a a_o mean_n for_o the_o

to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v because_o therein_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v that_o be_v his_o great_a grace_n and_o mercy_n in_o the_o justification_n and_o pardon_n of_o sinner_n by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o i_o have_v already_o show_v to_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o compare_v this_o with_o the_o explication_n which_o be_v give_v of_o
