those_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v by_o which_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a let_v we_o second_o consider_v what_o be_v those_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o that_o be_v thereby_o see_v here_o the_o word_n invisible_a seem_v to_o prompt_v i_o to_o present_v you_o with_o a_o curtain_n instead_o of_o a_o picture_n but_o yet_o when_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o these_o invisible_a thing_n be_v see_v those_o thing_n that_o sense_n can_v reason_n and_o faith_n do_v discover_v we_o may_v at_o least_o presume_v to_o look_v on_o the_o back_n part_v hereof_o 1._o then_o the_o necessity_n of_o own_v a_o deity_n a_o invisible_a and_o almighty_a power_n which_o give_v beginning_n to_o the_o world_n at_o first_o which_o daily_o produce_v all_o thing_n to_o uphold_v their_o species_n which_o rule_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n this_o have_v be_v so_o manifest_a by_o what_o be_v already_o speak_v that_o i_o shall_v need_v only_o to_o point_v with_o my_o finger_n to_o it_o as_o a_o post_n already_o take_v 2._o from_o hence_o also_o we_o discover_v that_o the_o deity_n be_v perfect_o free_a from_o all_o the_o defect_n and_o imperfection_n that_o be_v in_o any_o of_o the_o creature_n for_o he_o that_o make_v both_o the_o universe_n in_o general_a and_o every_o individual_a in_o particular_a in_o such_o excellent_a order_n and_o perfection_n can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v either_o ignorant_a weak_a or_o ill_o mind_v much_o less_o like_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o heathen_n that_o have_v eye_n but_o see_v not_o ear_n but_o hear_v not_o hands_z but_o can_v not_o help_v themselves_o or_o their_o worshipper_n 3._o and_o further_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o deity_n be_v a_o be_v infinite_a in_o all_o excellency_n and_o perfection_n for_o if_o every_o cause_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n more_o noble_a than_o the_o effect_n produce_v by_o it_o than_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n must_v not_o only_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a than_o any_o particular_a creature_n but_o must_v comprehend_v great_a perfection_n than_o all_o the_o creature_n joint_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o 4._o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o own_o our_o dependence_n upon_o his_o invisible_a power_n though_o we_o be_v far_o remove_v from_o the_o first_o generation_n that_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o clay_n yet_o be_v we_o still_o to_o remember_v he_o that_o give_v the_o original_n to_o our_o species_n though_o we_o remember_v nothing_o of_o our_o form_n in_o the_o womb_n yet_o be_v we_o to_o own_o that_o power_n that_o form_v we_o there_o though_o we_o see_v not_o that_o hand_n that_o uphold_v and_o provide_v for_o we_o yet_o be_v we_o to_o own_o that_o in_o he_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v for_o this_o be_v a_o reasonable_a acknowledgement_n from_o they_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o understanding_n to_o consider_v cause_n and_o effect_n and_o who_o reason_n be_v convince_v of_o these_o thing_n by_o those_o that_o be_v make_v 5._o that_o consequent_o we_o ought_v to_o serve_v and_o glorify_v god_n according_a to_o the_o capacity_n he_o have_v set_v we_o in_o for_o if_o a_o most_o wise_a agent_n make_v nothing_o in_o vain_a and_o if_o all_o other_o thing_n do_v continue_v to_o this_o day_n according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n because_o they_o be_v his_o creature_n it_o must_v needs_o then_o be_v fit_a that_o reasonable_a creature_n do_v serve_v god_n in_o a_o thankful_a acknowledgement_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o endeavour_v to_o live_v in_o conformity_n to_o his_o law_n 6._o that_o we_o must_v be_v accountable_a to_o he_o for_o our_o behaviour_n in_o this_o world_n his_o give_v we_o reason_n do_v make_v we_o capable_a of_o observe_v law_n and_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n will_v prompt_v he_o to_o look_v after_o the_o observation_n of_o these_o law_n and_o to_o call_v we_o to_o a_o reckon_n how_o we_o have_v discharge_v the_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o he_o we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n wherein_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n and_o that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v we_o into_o judgement_n three_o why_o be_v these_o call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n 1._o because_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n be_v invisible_a to_o our_o bodily_a eye_n nor_o do_v this_o give_v any_o advantage_n to_o a_o atheist_n either_o to_o question_v his_o be_v or_o to_o deride_v he_o as_o imperfect_a because_o invisible_a we_o be_v as_o certain_a or_o rather_o more_o of_o that_o which_o be_v demonstrate_v to_o our_o reason_n as_o of_o that_o which_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n nor_o be_v spirit_n or_o the_o object_n of_o our_o other_o sense_n less_o perfect_a being_n because_o not_o discoverable_a by_o the_o eye_n yea_o the_o deity_n be_v therefore_o perfect_a and_o like_o himself_o because_o transcend_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sense_n 2._o because_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n have_v obscure_v our_o knowledge_n especial_o of_o the_o most_o sublime_a object_n scarce_o and_o with_o much_o difficulty_n do_v we_o behold_v and_o take_v cognizance_n of_o the_o thing_n under_o our_o foot_n because_o the_o corruptible_a body_n press_v down_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o nature_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n who_o can_v know_v except_o himself_o give_v wisdom_n 3._o the_o heathen_a have_v grope_v as_o in_o the_o dark_a in_o seek_v after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n they_o have_v become_v vain_a in_o their_o imagination_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o their_o foolish_a heart_n be_v darken_v so_o that_o to_o they_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n invisible_a though_o not_o altogether_o 4._o what_o discovery_n we_o have_v of_o these_o thing_n come_v from_o god_n himself_o teach_v we_o to_o know_v he_o either_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n as_o in_o the_o gentile_n or_o by_o the_o light_n of_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n as_o in_o we_o christian_n in_o themselves_o therefore_o and_o to_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n these_o be_v invisible_a thing_n how_o wonderful_a therefore_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o god_n that_o have_v set_v man_n upon_o earth_n to_o seek_v after_o himself_o the_o secret_n of_o nature_n either_o through_o modesty_n or_o surliness_n seem_v unwilling_a to_o discover_v themselves_o unto_o we_o how_o much_o more_o unsearchable_a be_v the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n how_o necessary_a therefore_o be_v the_o study_n of_o god_n work_n the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v great_a seek_v out_o of_o all_o they_o that_o have_v pleasure_n therein_o and_o though_o the_o brutish_a man_n know_v not_o neither_o will_v the_o fool_n consider_v yet_o whoso_o be_v wise_a will_v observe_v these_o thing_n how_o useful_a then_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o which_o though_o we_o have_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o celebrate_v than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n yet_o that_o and_o the_o other_o work_v of_o god_n ought_v then_o especial_o to_o be_v consider_v by_o we_o how_o merciful_a be_v god_n that_o have_v give_v we_o such_o advantage_n to_o know_v he_o that_o have_v distinguish_v we_o from_o other_o animal_n by_o give_v we_o reason_n yea_o have_v advance_v we_o above_o the_o heathen_a by_o give_v we_o that_o divine_a revelation_n that_o afford_v we_o more_o clear_a discovery_n of_o god_n than_o other_o nation_n have_v be_v bless_v with_o how_o great_a engagement_n have_v god_n hereby_o lay_v upon_o we_o to_o entertain_v just_a and_o worthy_a thought_n of_o he_o to_o express_v these_o by_o a_o awful_a love_n to_o himself_o and_o a_o religious_a obedience_n to_o his_o command_n and_o final_o how_o inexcusable_a shall_v we_o be_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o many_o advantage_n and_o slight_a so_o many_o engagement_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o discovery_n he_o have_v make_v of_o himself_o and_o his_o will_n unto_o we_o which_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o general_n in_o the_o text_n the_o inference_n from_o the_o precedent_a proposition_n that_o god_n have_v leave_v mankind_n without_o apology_n or_o excuse_n in_o their_o sin_n as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o usual_a with_o man_n when_o they_o have_v follow_v the_o perverse_a swing_n of_o their_o own_o inclination_n in_o do_v evil_a than_o to_o seek_v excuse_n to_o evade_v the_o terror_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o i_o know_v nothing_o more_o necessary_a in_o they_o that_o make_v it_o their_o work_n to_o win_v soul_n than_o to_o take_v all_o advantage_n to_o drive_v sinner_n out_o of_o their_o strong_a hold_n and_o to_o strip_v they_o of_o those_o figleaf_n with_o which_o they_o seek_v to_o cover_v the_o deformity_n of_o their_o nakedness_n now_o if_o a_o man_n that_o
