see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o almighty_a god_n that_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o he_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v against_o and_o despise_v they_o all_o and_o be_v not_o stir_v a_o hair_n breadth_n out_o

and_o principle_n that_o be_v rivet_v in_o their_o inward_a heart_n and_o therefore_o observe_v the_o life_n of_o man_n such_o as_o their_o principle_n in_o they_o be_v such_o be_v their_o action_n for_o as_o it_o be_v true_a on_o the_o one_o side_n where_o man_n believe_v there_o they_o come_v to_o god_n so_o it_o be_v true_a on_o the_o otherside_n if_o man_n be_v not_o ground_v in_o these_o

blessing_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o never_o give_v he_o thanks_n nay_o rather_o they_o render_v evil_a for_o good_a hence_o it_o be_v that_o man_n trust_v in_o mean_n more_o than_o in_o god_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v so_o unholy_a when_o they_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n they_o be_v not_o strike_v with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o his_o majesty_n when_o they_o come_v before_o

that_o haste_v after_o honour_n and_o profit_n with_o the_o neglect_n of_o better_a thing_n they_o all_o arise_v from_o hence_o even_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o assent_n to_o these_o main_a

it_o be_v here_o best_a for_o we_o to_o do_v so_o mean_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n in_o these_o common_a principle_n prayer_n to_o say_v as_o the_o disciple_n do_v lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n you_o see_v that_o christ_n do_v it_o when_o peter_n faith_n fail_v he_o he_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o when_o you_o have_v find_v any_o weakness_n or_o

look_v how_o man_n do_v this_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n so_o much_o great_a atheism_n they_o have_v again_o if_o you_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o god_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n when_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v that_o you_o run_v to_o creature_n and_o seek_v help_n from_o they_o and_o busy_v yourselves_o whole_o about_o outward_a mean_n and_o seek_v not_o to_o

say_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o ground_n of_o secret_a atheism_n in_o man_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v such_o stupidity_n in_o man_n that_o the_o threaten_n will_v not_o move_v they_o they_o will_v be_v move_v with_o nothing_o like_o beast_n but_o present_a stroke_n that_o they_o do_v not_o foresee_v the_o plague_n to_o prevent_v

whence_o be_v this_o stupidity_n both_o way_n why_o be_v we_o as_o beast_n lead_v with_o sensuality_n that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v draw_v to_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o this_o a_o argument_n of_o secret_a atheism_n and_o impiety_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o every_o man_n more_o or_o less_o again_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o man_n come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n they_o carry_v themselves_o so_o negligent_o not_o care_v how_o their_o soul_n be_v clad_v and_o what_o the_o behaviour_n of_o their_o spirit_n be_v before_o he_o if_o you_o shall_v come_v before_o man_n you_o will_v look_v that_o your_o clothes_n be_v neat_a and_o decent_a and_o you_o will_v carry_v yourselves_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o become_v he_o in_o who_o presence_n you_o stand_v this_o proceed_v from_o atheism_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n not_o believe_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v he_o that_o fill_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n therefore_o as_o you_o find_v these_o thing_n in_o you_o more_o or_o less_o so_o labour_v to_o confirm_v this_o principle_n more_o and_o more_o to_o yourselves_o and_o you_o shall_v say_v when_o you_o hear_v these_o argument_n certain_o i_o will_v believe_v it_o more_o firm_o sure_o i_o will_v hover_v no_o more_o about_o it_o to_o what_o end_n be_v more_o light_n bring_v but_o that_o you_o shall_v see_v

a_o conclusion_n conclusion_n as_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o one_o that_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n then_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o one_o that_o see_v all_o you_o do_v and_o hear_v whatsoever_o you_o speak_v as_o when_o you_o see_v a_o ship_n pass_v through_o the_o sea_n and_o see_v the_o sail_n apply_v to_o the_o wind_n and_o take_v down_o and_o hoist_v up_o again_o as_o the_o wind_n require_v and_o shall_v see_v it_o keep_v such_o a_o constant_a course_n to_o such_o a_o haven_n avoid_v the_o rock_n and_o sand_n you_o will_v say_v sure_o there_o be_v one_o within_o that_o guide_v it_o for_o it_o can_v not_o do_v this_o of_o itself_o or_o as_o when_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o see_v it_o live_v and_o move_v and_o do_v the_o action_n of_o a_o live_a man_n you_o must_v needs_o say_v the_o body_n can_v not_o do_v this_o of_o itself_o but_o there_o must_v be_v something_o within_o that_o quicken_v it_o and_o cause_v all_o the_o action_n even_o so_o when_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o creature_n and_o see_v they_o to_o do_v such_o thing_n which_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o do_v than_o the_o body_n can_v do_v the_o action_n that_o it_o do_v without_o the_o soul_n therefore_o hence_o you_o may_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o draw_v nigh_o to_o he_o converse_v with_o he_o and_o walk_v with_o he_o from_o day_n to_o day_n observe_v he_o in_o all_o his_o deal_n with_o we_o and_o our_o deal_n with_o he_o and_o one_o with_o another_o be_v thankful_a to_o he_o for_o all_o the_o blessing_n we_o enjoy_v and_o fly_v to_o he_o for_o succour_n in_o all_o danger_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n the_o second_o sermon_n hebrew_n 11.6_o he_o that_o come_v to_o god_n must_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v etc._n etc._n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o principle_n that_o god_n be_v by_o faith_n we_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v some_o objection_n of_o atheism_n which_o may_v arise_v and_o trouble_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n object_n 1_o man_n be_v

give_v a_o beginning_n to_o these_o thing_n and_o shall_v give_v a_o end_n answ._n 1_o for_o answer_n to_o this_o consider_v that_o these_o body_n of_o we_o which_o we_o carry_v about_o with_o we_o which_o we_o know_v have_v a_o beginning_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o they_o that_o be_v as_o constant_a as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a as_o the_o beat_n of_o the_o pulse_n the_o breathe_n of_o the_o lung_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o the_o body_n have_v a_o beginning_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n now_o what_o be_v the_o

therefore_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o think_v it_o have_v a_o beginning_n as_o well_o as_o your_o body_n and_o likewise_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o this_o

the_o first_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o verse_n 5._o 5._o for_o this_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a of_o that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o heaven_n be_v of_o old_a and_o the_o earth_n stand_v

whether_o my_o soul_n do_v rule_v or_o no_o answ._n when_o the_o bodily_a appetite_n and_o inclination_n shall_v arise_v so_o high_a as_o to_o rule_v the_o stern_a of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o

that_o square_n which_o the_o spirit_n within_o shall_v set_v down_o than_o the_o spirit_n rule_v over_o the_o body_n object_n but_o my_o inclination_n be_v strong_a and_o i_o can_v rule_v they_o what_o must_v i_o do_v then_o answ._n thou_o must_v do_v in_o this_o case_n as_o saint_n paul_n do_v who_o keep_v under_o his_o body_n by_o violence_n as_o man_n use_v to_o tame_a horse_n we_o shall_v keep_v it_o down_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o carnal_a lust_n they_o will_v keep_v the_o body_n too_o high_a as_o a_o horse_n may_v be_v too_o lusty_a for_o his_o rider_n yet_o so_o as_o on_o

i_o say_v with_o yourselves_o what_o a_o senseless_a and_o unreasonable_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o this_o soul_n shall_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o the_o body_n and_o that_o the_o body_n shall_v rule_v
