be_v in_o heaven_n our_o dull_a sense_n make_v it_o as_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o discourse_v well_o of_o those_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n bear_v blind_a to_o talk_v well_o of_o colour_n nor_o will_v i_o pretend_v to_o judge_v how_o long_o or_o how_o much_o god_n almighty_n will_v punish_v we_o hereafter_o because_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o we_o think_v he_o to_o be_v a_o god_n of_o justice_n we_o must_v also_o conclude_v he_o to_o be_v a_o god_n of_o mercy_n this_o only_a i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o more_o we_o love_v he_o the_o more_o he_o will_v love_v we_o and_o the_o less_o we_o love_v he_o the_o worse_a it_o will_v be_v for_o we_o again_o if_o this_o instinct_n or_o conception_n we_o have_v of_o a_o deity_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o religion_n it_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v the_o guide_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o be_v if_o the_o strong_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n almighty_n do_v take_v a_o more_o particular_a care_n of_o we_o than_o he_o do_v of_o other_o animal_n be_v because_o there_o be_v something_o in_o our_o nature_n near_a akin_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n than_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o any_o other_o animal_n i_o say_v in_o all_o reason_n that_o part_n of_o we_o which_o be_v near_a akin_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o be_v our_o guide_n and_o director_n in_o choose_v the_o best_a way_n for_o our_o religious_a worship_n of_o god_n there_o be_v also_o this_o other_o consequence_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n do_v natural_o depend_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o one_o of_o the_o great_a crime_n a_o man_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o be_v to_o force_v we_o to_o act_v or_o sin_n against_o that_o instinct_n of_o religion_n which_o god_n almighty_a have_v place_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o if_o that_o instinct_n be_v somewhat_o akin_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n the_o sin_v against_o it_o must_v be_v somewhat_o akin_a to_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o then_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o this_o god_n will_v reward_v and_o punish_v we_o hereafter_o for_o all_o the_o good_a and_o ill_a thing_n we_o act_v in_o this_o life_n it_o do_v high_o concern_v every_o man_n to_o examine_v serious_o which_o be_v the_o best_a way_n of_o worship_v and_o serve_v this_o god_n that_o be_v which_o be_v the_o best_a religion_n now_o if_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o instinct_n which_o we_o have_v within_o we_o of_o a_o deity_n be_v akin_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o religion_n be_v probable_o the_o best_a who_o doctrine_n do_v most_o recommend_v to_o we_o those_o thing_n which_o by_o that_o instinct_n we_o be_v prompt_v to_o believe_v be_v virtue_n and_o good_a quality_n and_o that_o i_o think_v without_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n i_o may_v take_v upon_o i_o to_o affirm_v be_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o do_v also_o follow_v that_o the_o religion_n among_o christian_n which_o do_v most_o recommend_v to_o we_o virtue_n and_o a_o good_a life_n be_v in_o all_o probability_n the_o best_a religion_n and_o here_o i_o must_v leave_v every_o man_n to_o take_v pain_n in_o seek_v out_o and_o choose_v for_o himself_o he_o only_o be_v answerable_a to_o god_n almighty_a for_o his_o own_o soul_n i_o begin_v this_o discourse_n as_o if_o i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o those_o who_o have_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o and_o now_o address_v myself_o to_o christian_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o be_v offend_v at_o i_o for_o end_v it_o with_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n ask_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v you_o seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v unto_o you_o i_o shall_v beg_v leave_v far_o only_o to_o propose_v a_o few_o question_n to_o all_o those_o in_o general_a who_o be_v please_v to_o call_v themselves_o christian_n first_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o to_o use_v any_o kind_n of_o force_n upon_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o consequent_o whether_o all_o those_o that_o practise_v it_o let_v they_o be_v of_o what_o church_n or_o sect_n they_o please_v ought_v not_o just_o to_o be_v call_v antichristian_o second_o whether_o there_o can_v be_v any_o thing_n more_o unmanly_a more_o barbarous_a or_o more_o ridiculous_a than_o to_o go_v about_o to_o convince_v a_o man_n judgement_n by_o any_o thing_n but_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a that_o boy_n at_o school_n be_v whip_v for_o it_o who_o instead_o of_o answer_v a_o argument_n with_o reason_n be_v loggerhead_n enough_o to_o go_v to_o cuff_n and_o three_o whether_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o have_v not_o always_o be_v ruinous_a and_o destructive_a to_o those_o country_n where_o it_o have_v be_v use_v either_o in_o monarchy_n or_o commonwealth_n and_o whether_o the_o contrary_a practice_n have_v not_o always_o be_v successful_a to_o those_o country_n where_o it_o have_v be_v use_v either_o in_o monarchy_n or_o commonwealth_n i_o shall_v conclude_v
