the_o athenian_a orator_n be_v to_o defend_v himself_o from_o the_o accusation_n of_o his_o adversary_n premise_v that_o he_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o they_o with_o great_a disadvantage_n because_o

must_v needs_o be_v most_o grateful_a here_o be_v ground_n for_o a_o apology_n for_o religion_n 1_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o pretender_n to_o it_o or_o professor_n of_o it_o which_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v few_o true_o good_a and_o ingenuous_a person_n that_o will_v deny_v it_o have_v be_v in_o the_o late_a time_n grievous_a and_o

denounce_v by_o our_o saviour_n against_o those_o by_o who_o offence_n come_v i_o do_v not_o here_o plead_v for_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n blame_v person_n and_o condemn_v fact_n as_o much_o as_o you_o please_v only_o for_o your_o own_o sake_n take_v heed_n of_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a with_o the_o wicked_a but_o as_o for_o religion_n what_o have_v that_o do_v this_o i_o affirm_v that_o religion_n be_v not_o responsible_a for_o or_o chargeable_a with_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n why_o man_n shall_v think_v or_o speak_v worse_o of_o religion_n or_o true_o religious_a man_n upon_o this_o occasion_n it_o be_v hold_v unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o charge_v the_o fault_n of_o any_o particular_a person_n upon_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o profession_n to_o charge_v the_o fraudulent_a and_o dilatory_a practice_n of_o one_o lawyer_n upon_o all_o the_o person_n of_o that_o robe_n or_o the_o error_n and_o folly_n of_o every_o impertinent_a quack_n upon_o the_o whole_a college_n of_o physician_n and_o why_o shall_v religion_n have_v hard_a measure_n than_o other_o profession_n have_v nay_o on_o the_o contrary_a there_o be_v great_a reason_n it_o shall_v have_v better_o because_o of_o that_o reverence_n we_o all_o owe_v to_o god_n because_o of_o the_o sublimity_n and_o difficulty_n of_o thos●●hings_n wherein_o religion_n be_v concerne●_n in_o which_o therefore_o mistake_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o because_o of_o 〈◊〉_d g●●at_a importance_n of_o religion_n w●●re_o mistake_v and_o misapplication_n be_v more_o dangerous_a i_o do_v not_o now_o desire_v your_o favour_n but_o demand_v your_o justice_n for_o religion_n and_o this_o i_o do_v again_o aver_v that_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o some_o yea_o many_o religious_a man_n do_v not_o afford_v a_o solid_a argument_n against_o religion_n and_o that_o for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o all_o religious_a man_n be_v not_o involve_v in_o the_o guilt_n of_o they_o there_o have_v be_v in_o all_o age_n and_o so_o there_o be_v and_o be_v in_o this_o some_o religious_a man_n that_o do_v and_o do_v sigh_n and_o mourn_v for_o those_o public_a abomination_n which_o they_o can_v or_o can_v not_o help_v now_o as_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o justify_v the_o wicked_a so_o must_v you_o also_o of_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a so_o then_o all_o religious_a man_n be_v not_o liable_a to_o this_o charge_n and_o yet_o if_o they_o be_v religion_n be_v not_o concern_v in_o it_o and_o that_o because_o second_o religious_a man_n be_v subject_a to_o mistake_n and_o corrupt_a inclination_n as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n it_o be_v say_v of_o elias_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n subject_n to_o like_a passion_n as_o other_o man_n be_v and_o by_o reason_n hereof_o a_o true_o good_a man_n may_v sometime_o turn_v aside_o to_o crooked_a path_n but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o religion_n no_o more_o than_o ill_a manner_n be_v to_o be_v charge_v upon_o good_a law_n nay_o indeed_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o irreligion_n or_o of_o the_o imperfect_a state_n of_o religion_n in_o this_o life_n if_o a_o physician_n prescribe_v a_o excellent_a method_n of_o cure_n and_o the_o patient_n observe_v some_o of_o the_o direction_n and_o neglect_v other_o and_o the_o cure_n be_v incomplete_a this_o be_v no_o blemish_n to_o the_o physician_n or_o his_o art_n but_o the_o blame_n entire_o rest_v upon_o the_o patient_n head_n religion_n give_v we_o excellent_a rule_n for_o the_o conduct_n of_o our_o life_n unto_o perfection_n and_o happiness_n but_o if_o man_n do_v not_o walk_v according_a to_o these_o rule_n we_o may_v say_v with_o the_o apostle_n let_v god_n be_v true_a and_o every_o man_n a_o lyar._n let_v every_o man_n whether_o
