lie_v within_o our_o power_n it_o take_v off_o the_o sowrness_n and_o moroseness_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o make_v we_o affable_a and_o courteous_a gentle_a and_o oblige_a and_o willing_a to_o

ever_o raise_v to_o himself_o a_o good_a name_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o his_o virtue_n either_o real_a or_o pretend_a vice_n have_v sometime_o get_v riches_n and_o

that_o vicious_a man_n may_v be_v have_v in_o esteem_n but_o than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o vice_n that_o they_o be_v esteem_v but_o for_o some_o good_a

diminish_v that_o it_o will_v become_v much_o more_o considerable_a it_o must_v also_o be_v acknowledge_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o even_o virtuous_a and_o good_a man_n may_v sometime_o fail_v of_o that_o esteem_n and_o respect_n that_o their_o virtue_n seem_v to_o merit_v nay_o in_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o be_v slight_v and_o despise_v and_o to_o have_v many_o odious_a term_n and_o nickname_n put_v upon_o they_o but_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o case_n in_o which_o this_o happen_v it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v of_o no_o force_n at_o all_o for_o the_o disprove_v what_o have_v be_v now_o deliver_v for_o first_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v what_o kind_n of_o person_n those_o be_v that_o treat_v virtue_n and_o virtuous_a man_n thus_o contemptuous_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v they_o to_o be_v the_o worst_a and_o the_o vile_a of_o mankind_n such_o who_o have_v debauch_v the_o natural_a principle_n of_o their_o mind_n have_v lose_v all_o the_o notion_n and_o distinction_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v fall_v below_o the_o dignity_n of_o humane_a nature_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o bear_v up_o themselves_o with_o but_o boldness_n and_o confidence_n drollery_n and_o scurrility_n and_o turn_v into_o ridicule_n every_o thing_n that_o be_v grave_a and_o serious_a but_o it_o be_v with_o these_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o monster_n and_o extravagance_n of_o nature_n they_o be_v but_o very_o few_o few_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n who_o have_v wise_a and_o true_a sentiment_n of_o thing_n but_o if_o they_o be_v more_o numerous_a no_o man_n of_o understanding_n will_v value_v what_o such_o man_n say_v of_o he_o it_o look_v like_o a_o crime_n to_o be_v commend_v by_o such_o person_n and_o may_v just_o occasion_v a_o man_n to_o reflect_v upon_o his_o own_o action_n and_o to_o cry_v out_o to_o himself_o as_o he_o do_v of_o old_a what_o have_v i_o do_v that_o these_o man_n speak_v well_o of_o i_o but_o second_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o some_o person_n who_o be_v otherwise_o virtuous_a and_o religious_a may_v be_v guilty_a of_o such_o indiscretion_n as_o thereby_o to_o give_v other_o occasion_n to_o slight_v and_o despise_v they_o but_o than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v upon_o virtue_n and_o religion_n but_o be_v the_o particular_a fault_n of_o the_o person_n every_o one_o that_o be_v religious_a be_v not_o prudent_a the_o meanness_n of_o a_o man_n understanding_n or_o his_o rash_a and_o intemperate_a zeal_n or_o the_o moroseness_n of_o his_o temper_n or_o his_o too_o great_a scrupulosity_n about_o little_a thing_n may_v sometime_o make_v his_o behaviour_n uncouth_a and_o fantastic_a and_o betray_v he_o to_o do_v many_o action_n which_o he_o may_v think_v his_o religion_n oblige_v he_o to_o that_o other_o people_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o fancy_v silly_a and_o ridiculous_a but_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o reflect_v upon_o religion_n nor_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o imprudence_n of_o this_o or_o the_o other_o particular_a man_n expose_v he_o to_o the_o mirth_n and_o the_o pleasantness_n of_o other_o that_o therefore_o all_o religious_a person_n must_v fall_v under_o the_o same_o fate_n most_o certain_o religion_n wherever_o it_o be_v govern_v by_o knowledge_n and_o sound_a principle_n wherever_o it_o be_v manage_v with_o prudence_n and_o discretion_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o noble_a so_o amiable_a that_o it_o attract_v love_n and_o command_v respect_n from_o all_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o unless_o they_o be_v such_o profligate_o wicked_a person_n as_o i_o just_a now_o speak_v of_o there_o be_v one_o objection_n make_v from_o the_o scripture_n against_o this_o and_o the_o former_a point_n i_o have_v be_v speak_v to_o which_o i_o desire_v to_o remove_v before_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o general_n head_n of_o my_o discourse_n it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o far_o from_o represent_v godliness_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o improve_v our_o fortune_n or_o attain_v a_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n that_o it_o seem_v direct_o to_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a for_o it_o assure_v we_o that_o all_o those_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n that_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v revile_v and_o persecute_v they_o and_o speak_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_a of_o they_o and_o that_o through_o many_o tribulation_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v easy_o answer_v that_o these_o and_o other_o such_o like_a passage_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o speak_v the_o general_n and_o common_a fate_n that_o attend_v godliness_n in_o all_o time_n and_o place_n of_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o god_n providence_n but_o only_o refer_v to_o that_o particular_a time_n when_o christianity_n be_v to_o be_v plant_v in_o the_o world_n then_o indeed_o persecution_n and_o disgrace_n loss_n of_o good_n and_o even_o of_o life_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v the_o common_a portion_n of_o those_o that_o profess_v it_o nor_o can_v it_o otherwise_o be_v expect_v for_o when_o a_o new_a religion_n be_v to_o be_v set_v up_o and_o such_o a_o religion_n as_o be_v perfect_o destructive_a of_o all_o those_o other_o that_o have_v be_v by_o long_a custom_n receive_v and_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v in_o the_o world_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v but_o that_o it_o will_v meet_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o contradiction_n and_o opposition_n from_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n but_o
