reason_n or_o religion_n they_o then_o only_o return_v this_o answer_n that_o they_o be_v carnal_a and_o natural_a man_n and_o therefore_o can_v apprehend_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v only_o false_o to_o interpret_v scripture_n and_o poor_o to_o beg_v what_o they_o shall_v indeed_o prove_v 3._o we_o must_v preach_v christ_n crucify_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o profane_a and_o atheistical_a person_n of_o the_o age_n who_o look_v upon_o all_o religion_n in_o general_a as_o a_o very_a foolish_a thing_n but_o more_o especial_o be_v they_o offend_v at_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o think_v it_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o folly_n imaginable_a to_o talk_v of_o die_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o religion_n these_o be_v the_o hobbist_n of_o the_o age_n who_o make_v interest_n and_o self-preservation_n the_o great_a and_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o reason_n and_o religion_n and_o these_o man_n stick_v not_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o in_o obedience_n to_o our_o own_o dear_a sovereign_a self-preservaticn_a it_o be_v lawful_a in_o word_n to_o deny_v even_o christ_n himself_o before_o man_n and_o then_o in_o answer_n to_o that_o place_n of_o our_o saviour_n whoever_o deny_v i_o before_o man_n he_o will_v i_o deny_v before_o myfather_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o whatever_o a_o subject_a be_v force_v to_o the_o so_o that_o he_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n on_o his_o own_o accord_n that_o be_v not_o his_o action_n nor_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v the_o action_n of_o the_o sovereign_n and_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o country_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n according_a to_o this_o interpretation_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o any_o but_o a_o sovereign_a to_o deny_v his_o saviour_n becaufe_fw-fr all_o the_o action_n of_o a_o subject_a in_o his_o case_n be_v imputable_a only_o to_o the_o prince_n but_o this_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o very_a false_a and_o foolish_a assertion_n 2._o if_o the_o subject_a in_o this_o case_n may_v transfer_v the_o fault_n from_o himself_o to_o the_o prince_n why_o may_v not_o the_o prince_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n transter_n it_o from_o himself_o upon_o the_o law_n according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n factum_fw-la illud_fw-la esse_fw-la civitatis_fw-la factum_fw-la &_o legibus_fw-la imputandam_fw-la so_o that_o whereas_o christ_n word_n threaten_v a_o punishment_n upon_o some_o person_n thus_o offend_v the_o result_n according_a to_o he_o will_v be_v only_o this_o that_o those_o law_n that_o deny_v christ_n before_o man_n christ_n will_v deny_v those_o law_n before_o his_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o trifle_n with_o scripture_n as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o a_o divine_a or_o a_o philosopher_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o inference_n 2._o we_o preach_v christ_n crucify_a to_o the_o jew_n a_o stumble_v block_n etc._n etc._n hence_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o unreasonable_a offence_n or_o scandal_n that_o some_o man_n take_v at_o the_o performance_n of_o our_o duty_n be_v no_o just_a ground_n or_o reason_n for_o we_o to_o forbear_v the_o do_v of_o it_o for_o we_o must_v distinguish_v betwixt_o a_o scandal_n give_v and_o a_o scandal_n take_v we_o must_v not_o indeed_o give_v any_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n to_o other_o in_o thing_n that_o depend_v mere_o upon_o our_o own_o liberty_n but_o if_o other_o will_n unreasonable_o take_v offence_n at_o we_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o our_o duty_n that_o as_o we_o can_v help_v so_o must_v we_o not_o so_o far_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o as_o to_o be_v disobedient_a to_o the_o lawful_a command_n of_o our_o superior_n under_o pretence_n of_o be_v civil_a to_o our_o equal_n 3._o hence_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o to_o be_v offendediat_a the_o cross_n of_o christ_n or_o to_o think_v the_o worse_a of_o our_o religion_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o mean_a appearance_n of_o its_o first_o founder_n the_o holy_a jesus_n this_o will_v be_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o folly_n as_o if_o a_o condemn_a person_n shall_v refuse_v his_o pardon_n only_o because_o it_o be_v not_o bring_v he_o by_o one_o in_o splendid_a apparel_n or_o because_o it_o be_v not_o write_v with_o golden_a letter_n nor_o let_v we_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o pious_a severity_n of_o the_o christian_a institution_n as_o if_o religion_n go_v about_o to_o build_v the_o christian_a upon_o rhe_n ruin_n of_o the_o man_n and_o that_o mortification_n be_v only_o a_o more_o mild_a and_o gentle_a word_n for_o martyrdom_n whereas_o religion_n require_v nothing_o of_o we_o but_o what_o real_o tend_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o the_o good_a of_o humane_a sosiety_n here_o and_o the_o fit_a and_o prepare_v we_o for_o the_o society_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n whither_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n bring_v we_o all_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v ascribe_v all_o honour_n glory_n and_o praise_n both_o now_o and_o
