of_o our_o sovereign_n who_o have_v right_o to_o require_v it_o of_o we_o and_o this_o god_n have_v declare_v to_o mankind_n by_o the_o frame_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o by_o those_o principal_a

notion_n of_o our_o own_o mind_n and_o those_o natural_a passion_n of_o hope_n and_o fear_v passion_n hope_n and_o fear_n be_v two_o very_a strong_a passion_n that_o be_v so_o root_v in_o our_o soul_n we_o can_v without_o great_a force_n to_o ourselves_o act_n contrary_a to_o they_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o law_n that_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n come_v under_o and_o which_o be_v no_o

it_o be_v a_o rule_n universal_o true_a that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o obscure_a passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n v._n 13._o for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v unto_o moses_n man_n be_v capable_a of_o sin_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v another_o law_n against_o which_o they_o offend_v for_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n but_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n to_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o that_o have_v not_o sin_v after_o the_o similitude_n of_o adam_n transgression_n that_o be_v though_o they_o do_v not_o sin_n against_o any_o express_a law_n of_o god_n as_o adam_n do_v thus_o reason_n discover_v to_o we_o how_o that_o the_o natural_a dictate_v of_o our_o mind_n have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n hence_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o mankind_n will_v have_v be_v under_o the_o obligation_n of_o religion_n though_o god_n have_v never_o make_v any_o immediate_a revelation_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n unto_o they_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o the_o heathen_a who_o have_v no_o supernatural_a revelation_n from_o god_n can_v not_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n nor_o liable_a to_o his_o judgement_n for_o if_o nothing_o be_v virtue_n or_o vice_n but_o what_o be_v either_o express_o command_v or_o forbid_v by_o god_n than_o all_o action_n will_v have_v be_v alike_o to_o the_o heathen_a but_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n natural_o good_a and_o some_o thing_n natural_o evil_a and_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o one_o and_o fly_v the_o other_o though_o god_n have_v never_o make_v any_o supernatural_a revelation_n of_o his_o will_n to_o they_o for_o if_o god_n have_v never_o forbid_v hatred_n and_o malice_n with_o deceit_n oppression_n violence_n and_o the_o like_a passion_n they_o will_v have_v appear_v evil_a in_o themselves_o and_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v be_v do_v by_o we_o because_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o peace_n of_o human_a society_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o reason_n of_o mankind_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o virtue_n opposite_a to_o these_o as_o love_n to_o god_n together_o with_o truth_n and_o justice_n one_o towards_o another_o have_v such_o goodness_n in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v commend_v to_o the_o like_n of_o mankind_n without_o the_o need_n of_o any_o absolute_a declaration_n to_o oblige_v man_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o the_o table_n may_v have_v be_v turn_v and_o all_o that_o which_o we_o now_o call_v virtue_n may_v have_v be_v forbid_v by_o god_n and_o thing_n will_v have_v be_v every_o whit_n as_o well_o and_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o difference_n only_o the_o name_n of_o thing_n will_v have_v be_v change_v unalterable_a the_o nature_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v unalterable_a but_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o one_o reason_n whether_o he_o can_v think_v it_o as_o virtuous_a a_o action_n to_o hate_n god_n as_o to_o love_v he_o to_o contemn_v as_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o whether_o malice_n envy_n hatred_n and_o ingratitude_n will_v have_v make_v as_o much_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o mankind_n as_o the_o practice_n of_o love_n and_o goodness_n will_v have_v do_v if_o they_o will_v not_o than_o it_o be_v

some_o thing_n will_v be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n unalterable_o good_a and_o some_o thing_n evil_a which_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o any_o arbitrary_a constitution_n but_o be_v found_v in_o
