the_o lord_n i_o do_v in_o my_o last_o discourse_n begin_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a considerable_a in_o these_o word_n viz._n a_o account_n of_o some_o of_o those_o attribute_n which_o god_n be_v here_o say_v to_o exercise_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o which_o he_o delight_v on_o which_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o discourse_n particular_o but_o from_o thence_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o remove_v two_o great_a bar_n to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o attribute_n which_o sceptical_a and_o unbelieving_a man_n have_v raise_v in_o the_o way_n which_o be_v these_o i._o that_o there_o be_v in_o reality_n no_o such_o thing_n as_o moral_a good_a or_o evil_a but_o that_o all_o action_n be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a ii_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v determine_v by_o absolute_a fatality_n and_o that_o god_n himself_o and_o all_o creature_n whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a agent_n without_o have_v any_o power_n of_o

answer_v the_o objection_n against_o it_o i_o proceed_v now_o to_o speak_v to_o the_o latter_a which_o be_v a_o objection_n that_o our_o adversary_n be_v very_o fond_a of_o and_o do_v all_o of_o they_o upon_o occasion_n have_v recourse_n to_o and_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o great_a point_n gain_v if_o they_o can_v make_v it_o out_o and_o will_v effectual_o destroy_v all_o manner_n of_o religious_a obligation_n and_o all_o dread_n of_o punishment_n for_o do_v amiss_o for_o as_o one_o observe_v on_o these_o three_o thing_n all_o religion_n be_v found_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o

that_o there_o be_v also_o something_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d something_o in_o our_o own_o power_n to_o do_v whereby_o we_o be_v accountable_a for_o our_o action_n and_o become_v guilty_a when_o we_o do_v amiss_o but_o there_o can_v certain_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a in_o any_o man_n action_n and_o no_o reward_n or_o punishment_n can_v be_v the_o consequent_n of_o they_o if_o nothing_o at_o all_o be_v in_o our_o own_o power_n if_o whatever_o we_o act_n or_o commit_v it_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o avoid_v act_v or_o commit_v which_o yet_o must_v be_v the_o case_n if_o as_o they_o assert_v thing_n be_v determine_v by_o absolute_a fatality_n and_o that_o god_n himself_o and_o all_o creature_n whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a agent_n without_o have_v any_o power_n of_o choice_n or_o any_o real_a liberty_n in_o their_o nature_n at_o all_o i_o shall_v therefore_o at_o this_o time_n 1._o show_v you_o that_o this_o be_v plain_o their_o assertion_n

argument_n establish_v the_o contrary_a position_n of_o the_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n of_o human_a nature_n 1._o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o assertion_n of_o the_o two_o great_a atheistical_a writer_n be_v very_o plain_a mr._n hobbs_n declare_v himself_o to_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n 297._o that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v free_a from_o necessitation_n that_o nothing_o take_v beginning_n from_o itself_o but_o from_o the_o action_n of_o some_o other_o immediate_a agent_n without_o itself_o and_o that_o therefore_o when_o first_o a_o man_n have_v a_o appetite_n or_o will_n to_o something_o to_o which_o immediate_o before_o he_o have_v no_o appetite_n nor_o will_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o will_n be_v not_o the_o will_n itself_o but_o something_o else_o not_o in_o his_o own_o

also_o cause_v by_o other_o thing_n whereof_o it_o dispose_v not_o it_o follow_v that_o voluntary_a action_n have_v all_o of_o they_o necessary_a cause_n and_o therefore_o be_v necessitate_v 312._o this_o say_v he_o also_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o there_o be_v certain_a and_o necessary_a cause_n which_o make_v every_o man_n to_o will_v what_o he_o will_v ib._n p._n 306._o and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o deity_n i_o have_v already_o more_o than_o once_o take_v notice_n that_o hobbs_n deny_v he_o any_o understanding_n sense_n or_o knowledge_n 9_o and_o assert_n he_o to_o be_v without_o any_o end_n or_o design_n in_o his_o action_n and_o operation_n which_o plain_o make_v he_o a_o agent_n absolute_o and_o physical_o necessary_a as_o indeed_o follow_v also_o from_o the_o notion_n of_o

reconcile_v this_o with_o his_o assertion_n that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v free_a from_o necessitation_n and_o that_o all_o our_o action_n have_v necessary_a cause_n and_o therefore_o be_v necessitate_v i_o can_v imagine_v as_o to_o spinoza_n account_n of_o the_o deity_n in_o reference_n to_o this_o point_n i_o have_v give_v a_o hint_n or_o two_o of_o it_o already_o he_o make_v god_n to_o be_v the_o
