believe_v ishmael_n and_o what_o religion_n shall_v i_o profess_v if_o i_o lay_v scripture_n aside_o isaac_n the_o same_o which_o you_o have_v by_o scripture_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whatever_o you_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v sure_a to_o profess_v a_o reverence_n for_o scripture_n and_o seem_v to_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n lest_o you_o may_v scandalize_v weak_a brethren_n pretend_v always_o that_o your_o sentiment_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o text_n but_o betwixt_o you_o and_o god_n believe_v whatever_o you_o think_v to_o be_v true_a worship_n god_n as_o you_o judge_v he_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o live_v in_o peace_n do_v you_o think_v but_o that_o those_o noble_a spirit_n which_o they_o call_v the_o wit_n of_o england_n have_v a_o good_a religion_n in_o public_a they_o speak_v reverent_o of_o the_o bible_n but_o we_o know_v what_o they_o have_v and_o do_v declare_v in_o their_o private_a discourse_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o romance_n or_o mere_a fiction_n do_v you_o think_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o religion_n in_o england_n before_o it_o see_v gregory_n gregory_n emissary_n austin_n and_o his_o monk_n what_o need_v therefore_o of_o a_o bible_n for_o to_o have_v religion_n be_v not_o the_o swinfeldians_n a_o religious_a congregation_n and_o of_o the_o reformation_n too_o yet_o they_o care_v not_o for_o scripture_n but_o ground_v their_o belief_n upon_o god_n inspiration_n and_o inward_a speech_n to_o the_o heart_n ishmael_n if_o i_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v with_o you_o and_o have_v not_o very_a convince_a proof_n and_o signal_n testimony_n of_o your_o piety_n solid_a religiosity_n and_o chistianity_n i_o will_v judge_v you_o by_o this_o last_o piece_n of_o your_o discourse_n to_o be_v a_o impious_a atheist_n or_o pagan_a and_o i_o wonder_v that_o so_o good_a a_o christian_n as_o i_o know_v you_o to_o be_v shall_v speak_v so_o irreverent_o of_o the_o bible_n and_o so_o much_o in_o commendation_n of_o paganism_n as_o you_o do_v there_o be_v indeed_o a_o religion_n in_o england_n before_o they_o know_v what_o scripture_n be_v but_o that_o religion_n be_v paganism_n which_o austin_n and_o his_o companion_n happy_o banish_v from_o our_o land_n isaac_n happy_o do_v you_o call_v a_o exchange_n of_o paganism_n for_o popery_n introduce_v by_o austin_n a_o happiness_n be_v it_o nor_o general_o believe_v in_o our_o reformation_n and_o most_o strong_o prove_v of_o late_a by_o that_o incomparable_a wit_n and_o penman_n doctor_n stillingfleet_n that_o popery_n have_v as_o much_o of_o idolatry_n as_o paganism_n our_o land_n therefore_o have_v in_o paganism_n as_o good_a a_o religion_n as_o it_o receive_v by_o austin_n in_o popery_n do_v not_o this_o our_o noble_a champion_n and_o most_o of_o the_o scribe_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n teach_v that_o popery_n be_v a_o save_a religion_n that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o popery_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v idolatry_n as_o they_o say_v be_v a_o save_a religion_n how_o can_v they_o deny_v but_o that_o paganism_n be_v also_o a_o save_a religion_n what_o need_n have_v our_o forefather_n therefore_o to_o abandon_v paganism_n why_o be_v it_o not_o leave_v in_o the_o land_n ishmael_n whatever_o may_v be_v say_v of_o popery_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o christianity_n be_v better_a than_o paganism_n the_o expulsion_n therefore_o of_o paganism_n by_o austin_n be_v a_o happiness_n because_o by_o it_o christianity_n be_v introduce_v and_o

and_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a of_o the_o god_n and_o that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o god_n which_o they_o adore_v they_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o upon_o inferior_a deity_n and_o give_v they_o no_o other_o adoration_n but_o such_o as_o the_o papist_n give_v to_o their_o saint_n if_o therefore_o the_o pagan_n adore_v the_o true_a god_n under_o the_o name_n of_o jupiter_n and_o the_o other_o god_n but_o as_o inferior_a deity_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v their_o saint_n be_v it_o not_o unjust_o do_v by_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o teacher_n of_o christianity_n to_o have_v impose_v upon_o the_o

that_o paganism_n have_v be_v banish_v out_o of_o our_o land_n upon_o the_o false_a information_n of_o our_o first_o teacher_n that_o it_o be_v a_o adoration_n of_o devil_n or_o evil_a spirit_n and_o wicked_a debauch_a man_n who_o by_o counterfeit_a wonder_n and_o cheat_n gain_v the_o people_n adoration_n since_o that_o doctor_n stillingfleet_n mr._n burnet_n and_o other_o reform_a writer_n will_v make_v it_o out_o that_o the_o pagan_n adore_v no_o devil_n but_o one_o true_a omnipotent_a supreme_a god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o which_o they_o call_v jupiter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o god_n as_o inferior_a deity_n as_o papist_n do_v their_o saint_n and_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o pagan_n be_v charge_v by_o the_o first_o d._n doctor_n of_o christianity_n and_o by_o all_o our_o ancestor_n with_o more_o than_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o why_o shall_v not_o paganism_n be_v restore_v again_o to_o the_o land_n and_o hear_v to_o speak_v for_o its_o self_n and_o dr._n stillingfleet_n and_o his_o zealous_a companion_n be_v licence_v to_o plead_v for_o they_o and_o for_o holy_a jupiter_n so_o foul_o misrepresent_v by_o antiquity_n as_o to_o be_v believe_v a_o arch-devil_n who_o dr._n stillingfleet_n will_v prove_v to_o have_v be_v a_o true_a god_n bless_v for_o ever_o more_o ishmael_n the_o more_o i_o discourse_n with_o you_o the_o more_o i_o be_o

and_o a_o compassion_n of_o the_o poor_a pagan_n so_o unjust_o banish_v from_o our_o nation_n if_o what_o doctor_n stillingfleet_n say_v be_v true_a he_o be_v a_o learned_a religious_a and_o

bless_v for_o ever_o more_o any_o child_n of_o the_o reformation_n may_v believe_v either_o of_o both_o and_o put_v jupiter_n into_o our_o litany_n as_o well_o as_o jesus_n christ_n and_o offer_v

be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o reformation_n as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o see_v our_o wise_a parliament_n sit_v now_o upon_o a_o new_a settlement_n of_o government_n and_o religion_n and_o i_o will_v not_o resolve_v upon_o any_o religion_n until_o i_o see_v what_o it_o conclude_v if_o dr._n stillingfleet_n be_v so_o zealous_a as_o to_o put_v in_o a_o good_a word_n for_o paganism_n before_o that_o religious_a assembly_n he_o may_v find_v abbetor_n and_o as_o the_o parliament_n cherish_v dr._n oat_n for_o the_o extirpation_n of_o popery_n so_o it_o may_v cherish_v dr._n stillingfleet_n for_o the_o introduction_n of_o paganism_n and_o the_o erect_n of_o temple_n and_o altar_n for_o holy_a jupiter_n his_o true_a and_o evermore_o bless_a god_n and_o if_o he_o be_v successful_a in_o this_o
