hardly_o have_v expect_v to_o find_v such_o a_o word_n as_o o_o be_v joyful_a in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o passion_n which_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o grow_v so_o quick_a upon_o our_o spirit_n that_o it_o shall_v seem_v a_o more_o proper_a business_n for_o religion_n to_o keep_v it_o down_o it_o be_v so_o giddy_a a_o discomposure_n of_o mind_n and_o put_v our_o soul_n in_o so_o loose_a a_o habit_n so_o vain_a a_o dress_n that_o to_o avoid_v this_o vanity_n some_o think_v it_o worth_a their_o while_n to_o run_v into_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n and_o

need_v only_o observe_v that_o god_n himself_o appoint_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o rest_n and_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n to_o be_v a_o festival_n that_o so_o he_o may_v train_v we_o up_o not_o always_o to_o the_o fight_n but_o sometime_o to_o the_o triumph_n of_o religion_n and_o show_v we_o the_o fair_a side_n of_o our_o nature_n indeed_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v design_v on_o purpose_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o his_o true_a perfection_n and_o show_v he_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n and_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n to_o do_v so_o not_o to_o stop_v up_o the_o ear_n nor_o put_v out_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o people_n but_o to_o allow_v we_o the_o use_n and_o to_o encourage_v the_o improvement_n of_o all_o our_o faculty_n and_o the_o lawgiver_n must_v always_o comply_v with_o the_o method_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o according_o our_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o true_a and_o the_o best_a do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o extirpate_v those_o passion_n which_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n but_o only_o to_o graft_v upon_o they_o by_o grace_n and_o make_v all_o our_o passion_n and_o affection_n spiritual_a it_o teach_v we_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o our_o good_a and_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v good_a for_o we_o but_o what_o we_o enjoy_v by_o his_o direction_n that_o heaven_n be_v the_o only_a seat_n of_o pleasure_n and_o no_o pleasure_n be_v either_o genuine_a or_o last_a but_o what_o we_o derive_v from_o thence_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v joyful_a indeed_o we_o must_v be_v joyful_a in_o the_o lord_n we_o must_v make_v a_o prudent_a choice_n of_o such_o pleasure_n as_o be_v equal_o beneficial_a both_o to_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o make_v our_o religion_n
