at_o our_o own_o liberty_n to_o entertain_v what_o opinion_n we_o please_v concern_v ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o regulate_v they_o by_o some_o standard_n which_o i_o collect_v from_o

ill_a consequence_n of_o transgress_v this_o standard_n whereby_o it_o shall_v appear_v how_o high_o reasonable_a this_o admonition_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v and_o so_o conclude_v with_o a_o practical_a application_n of_o the_o whole_a in_o relation_n to_o ourselves_o and_o the_o present_a occasion_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o proposition_n that_o we_o be_v not_o at_o our_o own_o liberty_n to_o entertain_v what_o opinion_n we_o please_v concern_v ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o regulate_v they_o by_o some_o standard_n the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v by_o some_o man_n think_v as_o free_v from_o all_o law_n as_o the_o act_n of_o the_o will_v be_v from_o all_o necessity_n and_o according_o they_o give_v every_o one_o a_o toleration_n to_o abound_v in_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o provide_v his_o action_n be_v conformable_a to_o the_o rule_n to_o think_v what_o he_o please_v now_o since_o a_o man_n can_v be_v accountable_a for_o a_o opinion_n of_o himself_o in_o particular_a unless_o it_o be_v first_o grant_v that_o he_o be_v under_o a_o law_n as_o to_o the_o act_n of_o his_o understanding_n in_o general_n before_o i_o can_v proceed_v any_o far_o i_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o lay_v down_o this_o preparatory_a position_n that_o we_o be_v under_o a_o obligation_n as_o to_o the_o act_n of_o our_o understanding_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o that_o we_o be_v accountable_a for_o they_o nay_o i_o believe_v i_o may_v venture_v high_a and_o affirm_v that_o the_o understanding_n be_v not_o only_o under_o obligation_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o primary_n and_o immediate_a subject_n of_o of_o it_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o which_o paradox_n i_o desire_v the_o patron_n of_o the_o intellectual_a libertinism_n to_o consider_v that_o that_o must_v be_v the_o primary_n and_o immediate_a subject_n of_o all_o obligation_n which_o be_v so_o of_o liberty_n now_o that_o this_o can_v be_v the_o will_n i_o suppose_v will_v be_v acknowledge_v a_o clear_a consequence_n if_o the_o will_v necessary_o follow_v the_o practical_a dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n and_o that_o it_o do_v so_o i_o think_v there_o be_v demonstration_n it_o be_v a_o unquestionable_a axiom_n in_o all_o the_o school_n of_o learning_n in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o object_n of_o the_o will_n be_v apparent_a good_a now_o apparent_a good_a in_o other_o word_n be_v that_o which_o be_v apprehend_v or_o judge_v to_o be_v good_a and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o will_n can_v but_o conform_v to_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n because_o otherwise_o something_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o will_n that_o be_v not_o apprehend_v good_a which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o supposition_n in_o short_a the_o will_v as_o aquinas_n have_v well_o express_v it_o be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o a_o operative_a syllogism_n and_o follow_v as_o necessary_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n as_o as_o any_o other_o conclusion_n do_v from_o its_o premise_n and_o consequent_o can_v be_v the_o immediate_a subject_n of_o liberty_n and_o consequent_o not_o of_o obligation_n but_o then_o be_v we_o not_o involve_v in_o the_o same_o difficulty_n as_o to_o the_o understanding_n do_v not_o that_o act_n with_o equal_a if_o not_o more_o necessity_n than_o the_o will_n so_o i_o know_v it_o be_v ordinary_o teach_v but_o if_o this_o be_v absolute_o and_o universal_o true_a i_o must_v confess_v it_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o my_o capacity_n to_o salve_v the_o notion_n of_o morality_n or_o religion_n or_o to_o find_v out_o a_o expedient_a how_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o intellectual_a world_n shall_v not_o be_v out_o of_o course_n for_o since_o it_o be_v evident_a both_o from_o the_o precede_a demonstration_n and_o from_o experimental_a reflection_n that_o the_o will_v necessary_o act_n in_o conformity_n to_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o understanding_n if_o those_o very_a
