atheism_n but_o because_o to_o outstrip_v the_o devil_n and_o not_o believe_v at_o all_o be_v impossible_a long_o to_o continue_v and_o religion_n in_o general_n be_v so_o plant_v in_o nature_n that_o it_o will_v recur_v and_o keep_v the_o field_n therefore_o the_o most_o corrupt_a religion_n in_o special_a be_v fit_a at_o last_o to_o be_v choose_v and_o so_o atheism_n devolve_v to_o popery_n and_o send_v so_o many_o newgate-converts_a to_o tyburn_n as_o that_o party_n boast_v of_o but_o conviction_n without_o bitterness_n be_v all_o the_o application_n i_o shall_v tender_v from_o this_o discourse_n and_o that_o particular_o to_o the_o three_o abovesaid_a first_o to_o atheism_n thus_o if_o the_o scriptural_a revelation_n which_o be_v the_o christian_a institution_n be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n be_v for_o he_o that_o consider_v it_o as_o become_v a_o reasonable_a man_n and_o yet_o disbelieve_v it_o reject_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prime_a verity_n as_o i_o prove_v before_o and_o set_v this_o aside_o let_v the_o atheist_n prove_v his_o sense_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n true_a if_o he_o can_v second_o to_o popery_n which_o be_v that_o part_n of_o pretend_a christianity_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o they_o of_o the_o present_a roman_a communion_n and_o none_o else_o i_o apply_v the_o conviction_n of_o this_o discourse_n thus_o that_o if_o any_o religion_n so_o call_v overthrow_v the_o foundation_n of_o natural_a religion_n as_o by_o introduce_v idolatry_n and_o subvert_v the_o common_a notion_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a then_o by_o the_o grand_a rule_n of_o try_v spirit_n it_o be_v most_o infallible_o a_o imposture_n to_o make_v good_a which_o charge_v against_o popery_n in_o each_o particular_a doctrine_n or_o practice_n by_o that_o church_n espouse_v as_o i_o may_v not_o now_o essay_n so_o i_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o consider_v the_o many_o bloody_a plot_n it_o have_v hatch_v to_o promote_v itself_o and_o to_o weigh_v the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n casuistical_a divinity_n for_o never_o do_v any_o pretend_a religion_n so_o bold_o and_o palpable_o refix_v the_o common_a and_o natural_a sentiment_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a as_o that_o have_v do_v and_o god_n grant_v that_o no_o profession_n among_o ourselves_o by_o thirst_v after_o new_a light_n and_o inspiration_n pretend_v to_o differ_v from_o they_o may_v yet_o symbolize_v with_o they_o in_o this_o particular_a last_o to_o the_o vicious_a protestant_n or_o member_n as_o he_o call_v himself_o of_o the_o church_n reform_v the_o conviction_n apply_v itself_o for_o such_o a_o one_o stand_v self-condemned_a a_o good_a believer_n as_o he_o think_v himself_o and_o a_o bad_a liver_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a absurdity_n in_o the_o world_n and_o may_v not_o this_o be_v fear_v as_o much_o as_o popery_n for_o that_o make_v but_o man_n this_o make_v god_n our_o enemy_n we_o talk_v much_o at_o this_o day_n of_o unite_n different_a party_n joint_o disclaim_v popery_n and_o god_n grant_v it_o may_v succeed_v to_o good_a effect_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o union_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o religion_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v let_v we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o law_n establish_v know_v what_o faith_n they_o be_v of_o as_o they_o know_v we_o for_o methinks_v all_o or_o most_o difference_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v reconcile_v but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o this_o indeed_o be_v eternal_o irreconcilable_a the_o best_a method_n then_o of_o unite_n we_o who_o pretend_v to_o the_o reform_a religion_n be_v to_o carry_v on_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v most_o needful_a not_o to_o reform_v the_o church_n but_o the_o member_n of_o it_o i._n e._n the_o evil_n we_o be_v guilty_a of_o against_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v more_o in_o our_o power_n than_o our_o governor_n else_o i_o will_v not_o mention_v it_o but_o then_o as_o i_o say_v before_o evil_a and_o vice_n must_v have_v its_o due_a latitude_n which_o take_v in_o giddy_a and_o enthusiastic_a opinion_n as_o well_o as_o sensual_a and_o sinful_a practice_n for_o there_o be_v a_o filthiness_n 1._o 2_o cor._n 7._o 1._o of_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o flesh_n i_o mean_v ungovernable_a spiritual_a pride_n and_o

of_o reformation_n it_o will_v certain_o dispose_v their_o heart_n to_o the_o union_n of_o charity_n and_o good_a affection_n though_o it_o may_v not_o in_o every_o particular_a mould_n their_o head_n into_o a_o unity_n of_o notion_n and_o without_o this_o unity_n in_o good_a affection_n it_o be_v strange_a if_o a_o church_n or_o kingdom_n so_o divide_v shall_v stand_v in_o a_o word_n that_o our_o faith_n in_o jesus_n may_v be_v rational_a and_o last_a i_o have_v press_v the_o best_a argument_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o conviction_n i_o know_v that_o it_o may_v work_v by_o love_n and_o the_o
