the_o best_a faculty_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o we_o without_o religion_n i_o come_v in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o show_v that_o they_o must_v be_v a_o torment_n to_o we_o without_o it_o and_o in_o order_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v do_v these_o two_o thing_n 1_o consider_v wherein_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o man_n do_v consist_v 2._o show_v that_o without_o religion_n our_o best_a faculty_n must_v be_v uneasy_a and_o troublesome_a to_o we_o first_o then_o for_o the_o support_v the_o cause_n of_o religion_n let_v we_o consider_v wherein_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o man_n do_v consist_v now_o happiness_n in_o general_n do_v denote_v satisfaction_n for_o no_o kind_n of_o be_v can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v happy_a so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v not_o at_o ease_n and_o sarisfy_v in_o itself_o and_o this_o satisfaction_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o suitable_a object_n so_o that_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v at_o ease_n and_o satisfy_v in_o itself_o if_o it_o want_v any_o thing_n that_o its_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o enjoy_v consider_v the_o condition_n of_o plant_n who_o only_a end_n be_v to_o grow_v up_o to_o such_o a_o state_n of_o maturity_n wherein_o they_o display_v their_o beauty_n and_o yield_v the_o fruit_n they_o be_v design_v to_o give_v now_o no_o plant_n can_v do_v this_o unless_o it_o be_v plant_v in_o a_o proper_a soil_n and_o enjoy_v so_o much_o of_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o be_v needful_a to_o draw_v forth_o its_o life_n and_o virtue_n but_o for_o want_v of_o sap_n and_o nourishment_n it_o will_v hanguish_v and_o decay_v so_o likewise_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v make_v for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o sensible_a object_n will_v be_v make_v in_o vain_a if_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o see_v and_o to_o entertain_v their_o other_o sense_n with_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o beast_n be_v to_o have_v meat_n and_o drink_n enough_o and_o to_o live_v among_o such_o object_n as_o be_v grateful_a to_o his_o sense_n and_o without_o these_o his_o life_n will_v be_v miserable_a for_o as_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v miserable_a so_o long_o as_o it_o enjoy_v all_o the_o good_a that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o there_o be_v no_o faculty_n in_o its_o nature_n that_o do_v want_v the_o object_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o it_o so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o full_a

will_v be_v a_o torment_n so_o that_o happiness_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o rest_n and_o acquiescence_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o suitable_a object_n and_o according_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n do_v consist_v in_o such_o a_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o the_o power_n of_o our_o nature_n as_o spring_n from_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a use_n of_o they_o and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o all_o that_o good_a that_o belong_v to_o our_o nature_n for_o so_o long_o as_o any_o faculty_n do_v want_v the_o good_a that_o belong_v to_o it_o our_o nature_n can_v no_o more_o be_v at_o ease_n than_o the_o hungry_a man_n be_v who_o want_v the_o bread_n his_o appetite_n crave_v every_o faculty_n have_v its_o appetite_n and_o so_o long_o as_o any_o one_o appetite_n do_v gnaw_v there_o will_v be_v restlessness_n and_o trouble_n but_o for_o the_o better_a explain_v this_o matter_n i_o shall_v consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o satisfaction_n we_o aim_v at_o must_v be_v for_o our_o whole_a nature_n 2._o it_o must_v arise_v from_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a use_n of_o all_o our_o faculty_n 3._o from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o good_a that_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o each_o faculty_n 1._o the_o satisfaction_n we_o aim_v at_o must_v be_v for_o our_o whole_a nature_n and_o therefore_o before_o we_o can_v arrive_v to_o the_o full_a and_o complete_a happiness_n that_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o we_o must_v understand_v ourselves_o and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o utmost_a excellency_n that_o belong_v to_o we_o for_o all_o man_n do_v agree_v in_o this_o that_o happiness_n do_v consist_v in_o satisfaction_n and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o creature_n shall_v be_v happy_a that_o be_v not_o at_o rest_n and_o ease_v in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o whatever_o course_n of_o life_n man_n take_v to_o they_o pretend_v to_o aim_v at_o that_o satisfaction_n wherein_o happiness_n do_v consist_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o live_v vicious_o and_o follow_v the_o inclination_n of_o his_o sensual_a appetite_n but_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o still_a the_o crave_n of_o his_o appetite_n which_o render_v he_o uneasy_a that_o he_o live_v as_o he_o do_v that_o he_o find_v it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v be_v at_o ease_n and_o quiet_a in_o himself_o unless_o he_o make_v those_o provision_n for_o his_o flesh_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o lay_v the_o rage_n of_o his_o appetite_n and_o according_o that_o it_o be_v only_o in_o order_n to_o a_o happy_a life_n that_o he_o hunt_v after_o sensual_a delight_n and_o bodily_a gratification_n so_o that_o these_o man_n do_v feel_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o that_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o faculty_n in_o we_o that_o be_v not_o satisfy_v we_o can_v be_v happy_a and_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o himself_o and_o man_n be_v no_o more_o excellent_a a_o creature_n than_o his_o way_n of_o life_n represent_v he_o he_o be_v as_o wise_a for_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v and_o do_v pursue_v all_o the_o happiness_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o but_o if_o we_o be_v something_o more_o than_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o satisfaction_n he_o aim_v at_o be_v not_o the_o complete_a happiness_n of_o a_o man_n because_o it_o leave_v the_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o our_o nature_n unsatisfied_a so_o that_o while_o we_o only_o take_v care_n of_o our_o body_n and_o study_v how_o to_o please_v our_o sense_n and_o to_o still_o the_o crave_n of_o our_o appetite_n though_o this_o be_v satisfactory_a to_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o the_o satisfaction_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o beast_n for_o can_v a_o beast_n speak_v it_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o its_o utmost_a happiness_n lie_v in_o the_o enjoy_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o the_o body_n crave_v and_o be_v this_o all_o the_o satisfaction_n that_o a_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o provide_v for_o a_o divine_a mind_n to_o please_v have_v to_o look_v after_o no_o since_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o much_o more_o excellent_a than_o they_o the_o happiness_n we_o must_v aim_v at_o must_v be_v so_o too_o our_o provision_n must_v be_v for_o our_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o our_o body_n for_o our_o understanding_n as_o well_o as_o our_o sense_n and_o our_o conscience_n as_o well_o as_o our_o appetite_n we_o may_v have_v the_o pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o brute_n when_o we_o pamper_v our_o body_n and_o keep_v not_o from_o our_o eye_n any_o good_a that_o they_o desire_v but_o after_o all_o this_o our_o want_n will_v be_v great_a than_o our_o enjoyment_n and_o our_o misery_n more_o than_o our_o happiness_n for_o in_o this_o case_n we_o only_o take_v care_n of_o half_a our_o nature_n and_o which_o be_v worse_o of_o that_o which_o be_v least_o worth_a our_o look_v after_o 2._o the_o satisfaction_n we_o must_v aim_v at_o must_v arise_v from_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a use_n of_o all_o our_o faculty_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v be_v happy_a so_o long_o as_o we_o neglect_v any_o part_n of_o ourselves_o so_o it_o be_v likewise_o
considerable_a part_n of_o that_o mischief_n that_o man_n do_v their_o soul_n by_o the_o neglect_n of_o religion_n that_o they_o sin_n away_o that_o tenderness_n of_o their_o conscience_n whereby_o they_o shall_v feel_v that_o hurt_n they_o do_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v represent_v the_o case_n of_o those_o man_n as_o desperate_a and_o report_v they_o as_o person_n give_v over_o and_o past_a cure_n who_o be_v past_a feeling_n it_o be_v not_o then_o from_o what_o they_o aver_v that_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v whether_o a_o sinful_a contempt_n of_o religion_n be_v mischievous_a or_o no_o any_o more_o than_o we_o will_v conclude_v from_o the_o frantic_a expression_n of_o a_o man_n in_o a_o fever_n that_o shall_v tell_v we_o he_o feel_v himself_o well_o that_o he_o real_o be_v so_o but_o from_o the_o ill_a symptom_n of_o a_o great_a disorder_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o discover_v the_o illness_n of_o his_o state_n now_o it_o be_v too_o visible_a that_o every_o wicked_a man_n by_o neglect_v religion_n do_v lay_v all_o waist_n within_o he_o he_o injure_v his_o mind_n by_o neglect_v those_o improvement_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o be_v as_o cruel_a to_o his_o soul_n as_o he_o will_v be_v judge_v to_o be_v to_o his_o body_n shall_v he_o neglect_v those_o refreshment_n that_o be_v needful_a to_o keep_v it_o in_o repair_n for_o religion_n be_v the_o same_o to_o the_o soul_n as_o food_n be_v to_o the_o body_n and_o the_o former_a be_v subject_n to_o the_o same_o wasting_n and_o languish_n without_o virtue_n as_o the_o latter_a be_v without_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o it_o be_v every_o abvious_a that_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o wicked_a man_n when_o he_o live_v as_o if_o he_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o lump_n of_o flesh_n to_o provide_v for_o he_o have_v confume_v his_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v to_o nothing_o so_o that_o he_o be_v no_o more_o sensible_a that_o there_o be_v any_o fuch_n principle_n in_o

to_o see_v a_o man_n body_n turn_v upfide-down_a as_o to_o see_v the_o faculty_n of_o his_o soul_n displace_v his_o understanding_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v his_o head_n faculty_n trample_v under_o
