A53112	The complaint of English subjects delivered in two parts. First part, is the complaint, of the poor, middle, and meanest sorts of subjects, concerning their bodily assistance. Second part, is the true Christians complaint, against vice, and wickedness, for the good of their soul's health. Also, werein is set forth, the late prodigious growth, of atheism, errors, and vice: with a call to repentance. As also, how needful it is, in these times, for every one of us, first of all, to look into our own hearts, and endeavour to amend what is their amiss. And lastly, a brief discourse, concerning our late unfruitful, and cold summers: as also, what is thought to be the real causes of it, by way of opposition, to the opinion of astrologers. By Richard Newnam of Tiverton in Devonshire.	Newnam, Richard.	1700 (1700)	Wing N935; ESTC R218651	71,890	130

about_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v all_o and_o every_o of_o they_o true_a this_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n can_v be_v nor_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n either_o can_v it_o so_o

our_o pride_n for_o vainglory_n for_o self-interest_n or_o to_o show_v our_o natural_a part_n and_o under_o pretence_n of_o root_a out_o of_o this_o thing_n call_v error_n many_o do_v plain_o show_v to_o the_o world_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o nothing_o more_o than_o what_o i_o have_v but_o just_a now_o say_v for_o how_o many_o volume_n have_v some_o man_n write_v to_o reclaim_v error_n and_o when_o they_o have_v all_o do_v by_o their_o work_v it_n have_v then_o plain_o appear_v to_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o judicious_a man_n of_o our_o age_n that_o what_o they_o have_v so_o much_o

then_o commit_v more_o error_n in_o their_o several_a disputation_n than_o ever_o they_o amend_v with_o all_o their_o epistle_n write_n or_o large_a volume_n and_o moreover_o i_o must_v say_v that_o some_o man_n by_o such_o epistle_n write_n and_o volume_n have_v thereby_o lay_v open_v a_o wide_o be_v broad_a path_n only_o fit_a to_o lead_v poor_a weak_a capacitate_v soul_n to_o destruction_n for_o thereby_o they_o have_v mere_o confound_v the_o plain_a honest_a understanding_n of_o many_o people_n who_o have_v read_v all_o over_o their_o cavil_v discourse_n and_o then_o at_o last_o for_o

some_o of_o they_o lead_v as_o loose_v life_n as_o any_o other_o people_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o we_o will_v believe_v in_o none_o of_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o embrace_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_a and_o at_o last_o believe_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o atheism_n itself_o and_o in_o their_o heart_n then_o say_v if_o not_o with_o their_o mouth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o

to_o discharge_v their_o conscience_n in_o their_o several_a duty_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o man._n and_o then_o all_o such_o error_n as_o be_v now_o creep_v in_o among_o we_o with_o many_o
