religious_a exercise_n as_o thou_o do_v yearly_a for_o pleasure_n how_o unreasonable_a a_o motion_n be_v it_o to_o call_v man_n to_o a_o fast_o of_o 12._o day_n together_o when_o can_v we_o persuade_v man_n to_o it_o and_o yet_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o they_o love_v religion_n better_o than_o their_o pleasure_n but_o believe_v they_o who_o know_v not_o that_o the_o thing_n a_o man_n most_o

they_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n and_o believe_v no_o judgement_n to_o come_v they_o think_v this_o be_v the_o only_a life_n and_o therefore_o the_o best_a religion_n be_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o play_v and_o be_v merry_a to_o fill_v the_o skin_n with_o present_a delight_n and_o pour_v out_o themselves_o upon_o pleasure_n while_o they_o can_v enjoy_v they_o for_o after_o death_n they_o look_v for_o no_o more_o pleasure_n or_o be_v than_o the_o brute_n beast_n themselves_o so_o if_o thou_o can_v then_o please_v thyself_o when_o god_n be_v set_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o out_o of_o

thy_o own_o neck_n as_o no_o bridle_n of_o humanity_n and_o much_o less_o religion_n rule_v thou_o wherein_o do_v thou_o differ_v from_o a_o heathenish_a atheist_n who_o pleasure_n be_v as_o
