only_o lie_v in_o the_o act_n of_o acquire_v not_o in_o the_o desire_n which_o the_o ten_o commandment_n express_o contradict_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v if_o you_o pick_v not_o your_o

he_o ●aith_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n when_o to_o bring_v religion_n itself_o into_o contempt_n define_v it_o viz._n a_o fear_n of_o power_n invisible_a feign_v by_o the_o mind_n or_o imagine_v from_o tale_n public_o allow_v not_o allow_v superstition_n and_o when_o the_o power_n imagine_v be_v true_o such_o as_o we_o imagine_v true_a religion_n and_o with_o this_o he_o accord_v p._n 51._o so_o that_o mr._n hobbes_n in_o other_o word_n call_v religion_n which_o be_v the_o apprehension_n in_o a_o good_a christian_n mind_n of_o his_o duty_n to_o serve_v the_o great_a god_n and_o his_o hearty_a performance_n of_o the_o same_o first_o only_o a_o fear_n no_o love_n in_o the_o case_n and_o second_o of_o a_o power_n invisible_a let_v it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o the_o devil_n three_o this_o fear_n say_v he_o be_v feign_v by_o the_o mind_n which_o exclude_v reality_n or_o imagine_v from_o tale_n public_o allow_v that_o be_v story_n people_n general_o believe_v no_o matter_n whether_o true_a or_o false_a and_o when_o the_o tale_n be_v not_o approve_v of_o it_o be_v no_o religion_n as_o he_o say_v but_o superstition_n and_o when_o the_o power_n we_o fancy_n or_o imagine_v be_v true_o such_o as_o we_o imagine_v it_o then_o it_o be_v true_a religion_n so_o if_o the_o indian_n by_o mr._n hobbes_n his_o rule_n fancy_v the_o devil_n be_v able_a to_o do_v they_o hurt_v then_o they_o be_v true_a religion_n well_o do_v mr._n hobbes_n for_o he_o have_v make_v religion_n in_o general_a much_o like_o his_o own_o and_o that_o except_o i_o be_v deceive_v be_v
not_o but_o that_o i_o admit_v that_o the_o four_o command_v as_o to_o the_o precise_a seven_o day_n be_v ceremonial_a and_o be_v determine_v since_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n mr._n hobbes_n after_o he_o have_v deny_v the_o personal_a divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n now_o come_v to_o tell_v we_o p._n 286._o that_o our_o saviour_n nor_o his_o apostle_n have_v any_o power_n to_o make_v law_n and_o that_o they_o that_o break_v any_o of_o he_o dictate_v do_v not_o sin_n in_o it_o but_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n not_o be_v pardon_v for_o their_o offence_n to_o the_o law_n of_o their_o respective_a country_n or_o of_o nature_n and_o for_o this_o he_o cite_v john_n 3.18_o which_o say_v they_o be_v condemn_v already_o not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v say_v he_o and_o this_o

our_o saviour_n precept_n oblige_v not_o and_o now_o one_o will_v think_v mr._n hobbes_n may_v rest_v satisfy_v for_o after_o as_o he_o think_v he_o have_v rob_v christ_n of_o his_o personal_a godhead_n now_o he_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o authority_n to_o make_v law_n and_o so_o all_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o world_n be_v oblige_v to_o he_o for_o set_v they_o free_a from_o the_o gospel_n in_o

not_o of_o this_o world_n which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o he_o design_v not_o to_o take_v away_o the_o roman_n jurisdiction_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o external_a act_n and_o punishment_n of_o man_n but_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o that_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n who_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v before_o represent_v god_n have_v no_o power_n by_o his_o word_n and_o

have_v they_o be_v only_a direction_n or_o beseeching_n he_o and_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v style_v they_o so_o nay_o mr._n hobbes_n say_v p._n 308._o that_o the_o command_n be_v the_o stile_n of_o a_o law_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a our_o saviour_n have_v power_n to_o make_v law_n which_o he_o execute_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n
