no_o humane_a employment_n whatsoever_o can_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n any_o way_n be_v beneficial_a to_o his_o godhead_n or_o divinity_n but_o mere_o by_o accident_n as_o it_o tend_v to_o our_o own_o salvation_n wherein_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n do_v more_o abundant_o appear_v wherefore_o as_o we_o see_v not_o only_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o the_o example_n of_o all_o other_o people_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o fervour_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o act_n of_o devotion_n however_o more_o

which_o posture_n they_o neither_o make_v true_a confession_n or_o resolve_v upon_o any_o charitable_a satisfaction_n whereas_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o the_o declare_a principle_n of_o this_o infallible_a church_n i_o have_v so_o often_o mention_v the_o very_a conduit_n that_o convey_v unto_o we_o if_o not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o at_o leastwise_o the_o knowledge_n how_o we_o may_v

whereas_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v divers_a both_o in_o matter_n and_o form_n as_o well_o as_o the_o perform_v thereof_o be_v confine_v to_o one_o place_n beside_o we_o may_v bring_v not_o only_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o heathen_a oracle_n themselves_o for_o the_o divinity_n and_o godhead_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o the_o ancient_a prophecy_n of_o the_o sibyl_n

shall_v so_o sudden_o increase_v and_o so_o long_o continue_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o opposition_n from_o time_n to_o time_n sustain_v both_o from_o craft_n and_o tyranny_n if_o this_o sacred_a truth_n be_v not_o support_v by_o a_o omnipotency_n not_o to_o be_v contend_v against_o by_o all_o the_o power_n of_o earth_n and_o hell_n wherefore_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o as_o these_o proof_n be_v sufficient_a to_o any_o indifferent_a understanding_n whereby_o to_o convince_v all_o man_n of_o infidelity_n touch_v the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o

to_o a_o vast_a chaos_n of_o confuse_a liberty_n without_o temper_n or_o morality_n in_o which_o wild_a exercise_n of_o preposterous_a sensuality_n perhaps_o many_o be_v confirm_v out_o of_o some_o

against_o which_o pernicious_a fancy_n may_v be_v bring_v this_o discourse_n first_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o angel_n before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o may_v be_v

and_o hate_n of_o sin_n for_o as_o he_o make_v they_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o happiness_n to_o express_v his_o majesty_n so_o he_o punish_v their_o single_a offence_n to_o show_v his_o
