have_v make_v they_o all_o psalm_n 104._o and_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o his_o goodness_n psalm_n 119._o 54._o and_o again_o 2._o when_o devout_a and_o holy_a man_n will_v quicken_v their_o

work_n of_o god_n job_n 36_o and_o 37_o chapter_n and_o the_o psalmist_n upon_o the_o same_o account_n urge_v his_o soul_n to_o bless_v his_o maker_n for_o his_o majesty_n and_o honour_n disclose_v

further_o celebrate_v by_o call_v upon_o the_o noble_a of_n inanimate_v to_o praise_v he_o psal._n 148._o praise_v he_o sun_n and_o moon_n praise_v he_o o_o you_o star_n and_o light_n which_o creature_n of_o he_o though_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o sing_v hallelujah_n and_o vocal_o to_o rehearse_v his_o praise_n yet_o they_o afford_v glorious_a matter_n for_o grateful_a and_o

all_o which_o in_o the_o same_o divine_a canticle_n be_v summon_v to_o praise_v he_o that_o be_v we_o be_v require_v to_o use_v they_o as_o the_o matter_n and_o occasion_n of_o holy_a eucharist_n

be_v praise_v for_o his_o work_n i_o descend_v to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v ii_o that_o his_o work_n be_v to_o be_v study_v by_o those_o that_o will_v praise_v he_o for_o they_o we_o be_v command_v to_o sing_v praise_n with_o understanding_n psal._n 40._o 7._o and_o the_o offer_v he_o require_v be_v that_o of_o a_o reasonable_a service_n his_o work_n receive_v but_o little_a glory_n from_o the_o rude_a wonder_n of_o the_o ignorant_a and_o there_o be_v no_o wise_a man_n that_o value_v the_o applause_n of_o a_o blind_a admiration_n no_o one_o can_v give_v god_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o providence_n that_o let_v the_o particular_n of_o it_o pass_v by_o he_o unobserved_a nor_o can_v he_o render_v due_a acknowledgement_n to_o his_o word_n that_o do_v not_o search_v the_o scripture_n it_o be_v equal_o impossible_a to_o praise_v the_o almighty_a as_o we_o ought_v for_o his_o work_n while_o we_o careless_o consider_v they_o we_o be_v command_v to_o search_v for_o wisdom_n as_o for_o hide_a treasure_n it_o lie_v not_o expose_v in_o the_o common_a way_n and_o the_o chief_a wonder_n of_o divine_a art_n and_o goodness_n be_v not_o on_o the_o surface_n of_o thing_n lay_v open_a to_o every_o careless_a eye_n the_o tribute_n of_o praise_n that_o we_o owe_v our_o maker_n be_v not_o a_o formal_a slight_a confession_n that_o his_o work_n be_v wonderful_a and_o glorious_a but_o such_o a_o acknowledgement_n as_o proceed_v from_o deep_a observation_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o they_o and_o though_o our_o profound_a study_n and_o inquiry_n can_v unfold_v all_o the_o mystery_n of_o nature_n yet_o do_v they_o still_o discover_v new_a motive_n to_o devout_a admiration_n and_o new_a object_n for_o our_o loud_a praise_n thus_o brief_o of_o the_o second_o proposition_n also_o viz._n that_o god_n work_n be_v to_o be_v study_v by_o those_o that_o will_v praise_v he_o for_o they_o from_o these_o i_o now_o advance_v to_o the_o three_o which_o will_v require_v more_o thought_n and_o it_o be_v this_o iii_o that_o the_o study_n of_o nature_n and_o god_n work_n be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o religion_n we_o common_o believe_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v the_o end_n of_o this_o we_o say_v it_o be_v he_o and_o we_o know_v it_o be_v we_o and_o the_o divine_a glory_n be_v write_v upon_o the_o creature_n the_o more_o we_o study_v they_o the_o better_a we_o understand_v those_o character_n the_o better_a we_o read_v his_o glory_n and_o the_o more_o fit_a be_v we_o to_o celebrate_v and_o proclaim_v it_o thus_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n work_n promote_v the_o end_n of_o religion_n and_o it_o dispose_v we_o to_o it_o by_o keep_v the_o soul_n under_o a_o continual_a sense_n of_o god_n he_o that_o converse_v with_o his_o work_n find_v in_o all_o thing_n the_o clear_a stamp_n of_o infinite_a benignity_n and_o wisdom_n he_o perceive_v the_o divine_a art_n in_o all_o the_o turn_n and_o variety_n of_o nature_n and_o divine_a goodness_n in_o that_o he_o observe_v god_n in_o the_o colour_n of_o every_o flower_n in_o every_o fiber_n of_o a_o plant_n in_o every_o particle_n of_o a_o insect_n in_o every_o drop_n of_o dew_n he_o meet_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o see_v all_o thing_n be_v he_o and_o have_v a_o advantage_n hereby_o to_o be_v instruct_v how_o to_o use_v they_o as_o our_o maker_n not_o we_o with_o reverence_n and_o thanksgiving_n with_o a_o eye_n to_o his_o glory_n and_o a_o aim_n at_o his_o enjoyment_n this_o be_v the_o tendency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o nature_n if_o it_o be_v abuse_v to_o different_a and_o contrary_a purpose_n natural_a wisdom_n be_v not_o in_o fault_n but_o he_o that_o turn_v this_o excellent_a instrument_n of_o
witch_n because_o it_o suggest_v palpable_a and_o current_a evidence_n of_o our_o immortality_n for_o though_o we_o have_v reasonable_a evidence_n enough_o from_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n the_o phaenomena_n of_o providence_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o convince_v any_o but_o those_o who_o will_v stupid_o believe_v that_o they_o shall_v die_v like_o beast_n that_o they_o may_v live_v like_o they_o yet_o the_o philosophic_a argument_n that_o be_v produce_v for_o the_o article_n though_o very_o cogent_a be_v many_o of_o they_o speculative_a and_o deep_a require_v so_o great_a a_o attention_n and_o sagacity_n that_o they_o take_v no_o hold_n upon_o the_o whifle_a spirit_n that_o be_v not_o use_v to_o consider_v nor_o upon_o the_o common_a fort_n that_o can_v reach_v such_o height_n but_o they_o be_v both_o best_a convince_v by_o the_o proof_n that_o come_v near_a the_o sense_n which_o indeed_o strike_v our_o mind_n full_a and_o leave_v the_o most_o last_a impression_n whereas_o high_a speculation_n be_v more_o thin_a and_o subtle_a easy_o slide_v off_o even_o from_o understanding_n that_o be_v most_o capable_a to_o receive_v they_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o main_a reason_n that_o engage_v i_o on_o this_o argument_n because_o it_o afford_v considerable_a evidence_n of_o that_o great_a truth_n which_o every_o christian_a ought_v to_o be_v solicitous_a to_o have_v make_v good_a and_o real_o if_o we_o compute_v like_o man_n and_o do_v not_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v abuse_v by_o the_o flattery_n of_o sense_n and_o the_o deceitful_a gaiety_n that_o steal_v we_o away_o from_o god_n and_o from_o ourselves_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v render_v the_o thought_n of_o this_o odd_a life_n tolerable_a but_o the_o expectation_n of_o another_o and_o wise_a man_n have_v say_v that_o they_o will_v not_o have_v a_o moment_n if_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o to_o live_v again_o this_o perhaps_o some_o may_v take_v to_o be_v the_o discontent_a

by_o that_o time_n those_o that_o judge_v so_o have_v spend_v the_o heat_n of_o frolic_a youth_n and_o have_v pass_v over_o the_o several_a stage_n of_o vanity_n when_o they_o come_v to_o sit_v down_o and_o make_v sober_a reflection_n upon_o their_o pleasure_n and_o pursuit_n and_o sum_n up_o the_o account_n of_o all_o that_o be_v with_o they_o and_o before_o they_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o their_o consider_a thought_n will_v make_v solomon_n conclusion_n and_o find_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o misery_n to_o live_v if_o we_o be_v to_o live_v for_o nothing_o else_o so_o that_o if_o the_o content_a of_o the_o present_a life_n be_v all_o i_o be_v to_o have_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o immortality_n i_o shall_v even_o upon_o that_o account_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o believe_v that_o i_o
