it_o nor_o by_o its_o genuine_a and_o proper_a influënce_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n where_o it_o be_v hearty_o receive_v but_o by_o the_o action_n of_o a_o great_a number_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n he_o must_v needs_o enter_v his_o protest_n against_o it_o and_o judge_v it_o as_o a_o engine_n frame_v and_o make_v for_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o serve_v turn_n and_o cheat_v the_o world_n and_o upon_o serious_a and_o impartial_a reflection_n upon_o thing_n we_o shall_v find_v from_o hence_o have_v proceed_v many_o man_n odd_a conceit_n of_o this_o excellent_a thing_n call_v religion_n for_o cast_v their_o eye_n abroad_o and_o observe_v how_o common_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o shift_v their_o principle_n when_o their_o interest_n lie_v at_o stake_n and_o those_o too_o such_o man_n as_o be_v in_o vogue_n among_o the_o people_n for_o the_o most_o precious_a saint_n why_o alas_o prompt_v by_o their_o lust_n and_o seduce_v by_o satan_n they_o have_v first_o question_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o reality_n and_o truth_n as_o religion_n yea_o or_o no_o and_o then_o by_o degree_n have_v laugh_v at_o it_o as_o the_o product_n either_o of_o knavery_n or_o melancholy_n and_o i_o wish_v our_o brethren_n of_o the_o separation_n can_v wash_v their_o hand_n of_o the_o ruin_n that_o have_v befall_v religion_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v true_a no_o man_n more_o ready_a to_o complain_v of_o the_o present_a degeneracy_n of_o the_o age_n than_o they_o and_o so_o far_o as_o those_o complaint_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n and_o not_o of_o design_n to_o misrepresent_v the_o government_n so_o far_o they_o do_v well_o and_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v but_o i_o do_v hearty_o advise_v they_o to_o look_v from_o whence_o this_o degeneracy_n proceed_v be_v sin_n so_o boldfaced_a and_o notorious_a impiety_n so_o confident_a and_o open_a before_o these_o complainant_n invade_v the_o church_n rite_n and_o slacken_v the_o reins_o of_o government_n by_o which_o the_o heady_a multitude_n be_v keep_v in_o some_o good_a awe_n and_o order_n i_o desire_v they_o hearty_o to_o read_v the_o history_n of_o the_o time_n from_o the_o reformation_n to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o late_a dreadful_a war_n and_o to_o tell_v i_o whether_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a there_n be_v such_o number_n of_o man_n that_o scoff_v at_o religion_n and_o live_v in_o a_o neglect_n of_o all_o those_o office_n which_o be_v appoint_v for_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o intercourse_n with_o heaven_n and_o a_o sense_n of_o a_o divine_a be_v upon_o their_o soul_n no_o if_o they_o will_v be_v impartial_a they_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o religion_n meet_v with_o better_a entertainment_n both_o in_o church_n and_o in_o family_n than_o now_o it_o do_v and_o therefore_o whence_o must_v we_o fetch_v this_o strange_a apostasy_n this_o horrid_a contempt_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v handle_v with_o more_o reverence_n even_o among_o the_o heathen_n who_o be_v only_o conduct_v by_o the_o glimmer_a light_n of_o nature_n why_o in_o short_a one_o great_a reason_n of_o it_o have_v be_v these_o man_n inconsistency_n with_o themselves_o and_o change_v their_o principle_n upon_o every_o change_n of_o affair_n at_o first_o many_o of_o they_o be_v modest_a and_o a_o regulation_n of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o government_n as_o it_o then_o stand_v establish_v be_v a_o blessing_n that_o will_v make_v the_o nation_n happy_a but_o afterward_o when_o a_o little_a success_n put_v a_o great_a power_n into_o their_o hand_n why_o then_o the_o ancient_a government_n of_o the_o church_n must_v be_v stubbed_a up_o both_o root_n and_o branch_n and_o forsooth_o we_o must_v have_v another_o model_n found_v in_o a_o divine_a right_n and_o nothing_o less_o than_o scripture_n and_o apostolical_a example_n must_v patronize_v it_o and_o then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v come_v down_o among_o we_o and_o babylon_n be_v fall_v and_o the_o beast_n smite_v through_o the_o five_o rib_n but_o alas_o within_o a_o few_o year_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v month_n many_o of_o those_o who_o have_v cry_v up_o the_o new_a discipline_n and_o covenant_n as_o the_o pattern_n in_o the_o mount_n as_o the_o great_a bulwark_n against_o romish_a incursion_n go_v away_o from_o it_o and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o sorry_a distinction_n be_v find_v very_o busy_a in_o overthrow_v all_o national_a church_n and_o now_o nothing_o must_v be_v gospel_n worship_n but_o what_o be_v after_o the_o independent_a cut_n and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v what_o skirmish_n there_o be_v betwixt_o the_o presbiterian_o and_o independent_o for_o their_o several_a platform_n what_o petition_v on_o one_o side_n for_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o what_o on_o the_o other_o against_o it_o with_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o reason_n tender_v to_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o no_o soon_o be_v the_o king_n come_v in_o and_o the_o ecclesiastical_a law_n revive_v and_o many_o person_n former_o unjust_o throw_v out_o restore_v to_o their_o property_n and_o freehold_n again_o but_o those_o very_a man_n who_o have_v with_o full_a cry_n and_o open_a mouth_n pursue_v the_o congregational_a man_n proclaim_v they_o schismatic_n and_o great_a enemy_n to_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n that_o be_v then_o upon_o the_o wheel_n i_o say_v those_o man_n contrary_a to_o their_o former_o avow_a principle_n declaration_n remonstrance_n and_o petition_n prayer_n and_o preachment_n fall_v in_o with_o the_o same_o practice_n and_o gather_v church_n out_o of_o church_n and_o nothing_o be_v more_o frequent_a now_o than_o to_o meet_v with_o book_n dedicate_v to_o the_o flock_n of_o such_o a_o man_n and_o to_o the_o congregation_n over_o who_o such_o a_o man_n be_v overseer_n when_o god_n know_v it_o may_v be_v those_o people_n that_o make_v up_o the_o body_n of_o these_o flock_n live_v in_o all_o the_o quarter_n and_o corner_n of_o the_o town_n and_o country_n now_o whether_o this_o be_v adherence_n to_o principle_n or_o bespeak_v a_o man_n fix_v and_o well_o ground_v i_o leave_v any_o man_n to_o judge_v no_o no_o it_o look_v like_o a_o design_n and_o as_o far_o as_o action_n can_v speak_v it_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v not_o religion_n about_o which_o all_o this_o stir_n be_v make_v but_o pride_n and_o interest_n and_o now_o pray_v let_v we_o consider_v what_o judgement_n can_v some_o man_n make_v of_o religion_n if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a conveyance_n of_o its_o worth_n into_o they_o than_o such_o example_n and_o instance_n as_o these_o be_v alas_o it_o make_v they_o throw_v dirt_n in_o its_o face_n and_o to_o cry_v it_o down_o as_o a_o thing_n not_o worthy_a of_o that_o care_n that_o it_o have_v meet_v withal_o from_o several_a law_n and_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o be_v it_o ground_v in_o any_o reason_n or_o have_v any_o demonstration_n on_o its_o side_n certain_o man_n of_o education_n and_o generous_a breed_n will_v not_o be_v so_o long_o before_o they_o understand_v it_o and_o after_o they_o seem_v to_o understand_v it_o so_o fickle_a and_o uncertain_a in_o their_o notion_n of_o it_o and_o true_o i_o think_v this_o be_v no_o small_a cause_n of_o our_o present_a atheism_n and_o i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n our_o brethren_n will_v lay_v it_o close_o to_o heart_n and_o when_o they_o complain_v of_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n either_o public_o or_o private_o amend_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o which_o have_v be_v so_o great_a a_o occasion_n of_o it_o 2._o atheism_n make_v room_n for_o itself_o by_o those_o unjust_a and_o wicked_a action_n commit_v by_o man_n who_o pretend_v to_o more_o than_o ordinary_a sanctity_n what_o must_v some_o man_n think_v of_o religion_n especial_o such_o as_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o careless_a education_n who_o have_v not_o have_v their_o natural_a notion_n of_o religion_n strengthen_v by_o wholesome_a document_n and_o good_a example_n what_o i_o say_v must_v these_o man_n think_v of_o religion_n when_o they_o behold_v a_o violent_a stickler_n for_o the_o right_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o he_o pretend_v lift_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n and_o then_o thrust_v his_o hand_n into_o his_o neighbour_n pocket_n when_o they_o hear_v he_o profess_v himself_o ready_a to_o deny_v himself_o of_o any_o thing_n though_o never_o so_o profitable_a or_o pleasurable_a provide_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n may_v flourish_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n busy_a in_o sign_v order_n for_o sequester_v other_o man_n estate_n and_o turn_v their_o wife_n and_o child_n out_o of_o door_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o sex_n or_o age_n when_o they_o see_v he_o ride_v from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o help_v to_o settle_v religion_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n
