to_o find_v out_o a_o thing_n and_o assent_v to_o it_o when_o it_o be_v find_v out_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o say_v he_o can_v move_v as_o regular_o in_o the_o dark_a as_o in_o the_o light_n because_o he_o have_v in_o both_o the_o faculty_n of_o move_a as_o pretend_v he_o can_v reason_v as_o well_o without_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o can_v under_o it_o because_o he_o will_v have_v the_o faculty_n of_o reason_v then_o as_o well_o as_o now_o can_v these_o man_n possible_o efface_v the_o early_a notice_n they_o receive_v from_o revelation_n they_o will_v soon_o think_v more_o mean_o of_o themselves_o and_o see_v how_o small_a advances_n we_o shall_v make_v if_o god_n in_o his_o displeasure_n have_v still_o leave_v we_o to_o ourselves_o or_o if_o either_o their_o great_a opinion_n of_o themselves_o or_o the_o real_a difficulty_n of_o the_o thing_n hinder_v they_o from_o judge_v of_o the_o strength_n or_o rather_o weakness_n of_o their_o own_o reason_n in_o case_n it_o be_v divest_v of_o the_o help_v they_o have_v from_o revelation_n a_o little_a learning_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n let_v they_o look_v back_o into_o the_o first_o history_n of_o the_o early_a time_n let_v they_o read_v the_o best_a discourse_n of_o the_o able_a man_n man_n no_o way_n inferior_a to_o they_o in_o natural_a ability_n man_n of_o great_a industry_n close_a thought_n and_o more_o

matter_n about_o god_n religion_n liberty_n morality_n a_o future_a judgement_n and_o immortality_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o think_v these_o man_n contend_v for_o natural_a religion_n not_o for_o its_o own_o sake_n but_o to_o pull_v down_o that_o which_o be_v reveal_v and_o be_v that_o once_o do_v they_o will_v deal_v easy_o enough_o with_o this_o and_o so_o get_v to_o their_o belove_a conclusion_n that_o there_o be_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o they_o will_v then_o be_v very_o ingenious_a in_o show_v the_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n of_o what_o they_o now_o so_o much_o cry_v up_o and_o will_v with_o triumph_n prove_v that_o they_o who_o have_v throw_v off_o reveal_v religion_n can_v reasonable_o adhere_v to_o it_o since_o the_o difficulty_n against_o one_o many_o of_o they_o at_o least_o lie_v equal_o against_o the_o other_o if_o one_o be_v absurd_a and_o too_o hard_o to_o be_v believe_v so_o be_v the_o other_o and_o no_o one_o who_o can_v take_v up_o with_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n can_v find_v it_o difficult_a to_o embrace_v the_o christian_n but_o we_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n we_o see_v and_o know_v the_o great_a thing_n he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a light_n and_o that_o the_o world_n be_v in_o darkness_n before_o he_o come_v he_o be_v the_o great_a restorer_n and_o deliverer_n of_o mankind_n from_o that_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n the_o degeneracy_n of_o their_o nature_n have_v bring_v they_o under_o it_o be_v he_o that_o form_v anew_o as_o it_o be_v this_o part_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o give_v again_o to_o man_n a_o understand_a heart_n he_o stamp_v again_o upon_o he_o the_o image_n of_o his_o maker_n that_o image_n on_o which_o the_o dominion_n of_o man_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v at_o first_o found_v which_o pre-eminence_n before_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o see_v a_o reason_n for_o he_o differ_v so_o very_o little_a from_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v but_o now_o have_v god_n exalt_v he_o for_o ever_o he_o have_v once_o more_o make_v he_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n he_o have_v crown_v he_o with_o honour_n and_o

mouth_n be_v full_a of_o thanksgiving_n and_o every_o tongue_n tell_v forth_o his_o praise_n it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o have_v a_o sense_n of_o these_o favour_n and_o not_o be_v thankful_a for_o they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o those_o to_o be_v thankful_a who_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o thank_v god_n on_o this_o wise_a the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o be_v to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n to_o have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o the_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n but_o to_o walk_v as_o child_n of_o the_o light_n and_o of_o the_o day_n the_o time_n of_o darkness_n be_v time_n of_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o god_n wink_v at_o they_o but_o now_o since_o the_o

for_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o this_o every_o body_n be_v sensible_a of_o this_o make_v wicked_a man_n so_o natural_o plead_v ignorance_n this_o make_v man_n shut_v their_o eye_n so_o hard_o against_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v conscious_a they_o be_v without_o excuse_n if_o the_o light_n real_o shine_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o see_v it_o do_v so_o and_o yet_o still_o work_v the_o work_n of_o darkness_n now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o if_o our_o duty_n increase_v as_o the_o light_n do_v that_o be_v give_v we_o to_o work_v by_o then_o be_v they_o under_o the_o great_a obligation_n who_o enjoy_v most_o of_o this_o light_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o jewish_a dispensation_n oblige_v they_o to_o a_o great_a perfection_n and_o holiness_n than_o what_o the_o heathen_a world_n know_v so_o do_v christianity_n oblige_v we_o to_o a_o great_a than_o either_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o except_o our_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n we_o shall_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o same_o argument_n a_o great_a degree_n of_o piety_n charity_n and_o other_o virtue_n will_v be_v require_v of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n above_o other_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o enjoy_v great_a light_n pure_a and_o less_o corrupt_v by_o superstition_n ignorance_n and_o the_o remain_v of_o ancient_a heathenism_n this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n in_o comparison_n not_o only_o of_o the_o roman_a but_o of_o any_o other_o christian_a church_n now_o in_o be_v and_o if_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n enjoy_v not_o a_o equal_a light_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v any_o of_o they_o on_o this_o account_n more_o happy_a than_o our_o own_o and_o indeed_o we_o be_v apt_a enough_o to_o own_o this_o and_o please_v ourselves_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o be_v of_o so_o pure_a a_o church_n where_o we_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n constant_o read_v and_o preach_v to_o we_o frequent_a sacrament_n and_o daily_a prayer_n we_o be_v breed_v up_o to_o a_o rational_a and_o intelligible_a devotion_n we_o want_v neither_o the_o

up_o this_o church_n and_o value_v themselves_o for_o be_v member_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o not_o see_v at_o the_o same_o time_n how_o much_o more_o they_o have_v on_o this_o account_n to_o answer_v for_o how_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o great_a plea_n of_o not_o know_v or_o not_o be_v teach_v their_o duty_n be_v whole_o take_v from_o they_o but_o i_o must_v not_o stop_v here_o the_o gradation_n from_o heathenism_n to_o judaisme_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o christianity_n in_o general_n then_o to_o the_o reform_a part_n of_o it_o and_o last_o of_o all_o to_o our_o own_o church_n this_o
