too_o that_o it_o extend_v not_o to_o such_o as_o think_v themselves_o too_o wise_a and_o too_o great_a to_o be_v advise_v according_a to_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o which_o person_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o oblige_a force_n of_o all_o church-sanctions_a can_v bespeak_v man_n only_o thus_o these_o and_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o do_v they_o you_o may_v as_o well_o let_v they_o alone_o a_o strict_a and_o efficacious_a constitution_n indeed_o which_o invest_v the_o church_n with_o no_o power_n at_o all_o but_o where_o man_n will_v be_v so_o very_o civil_a as_o to_o obey_v it_o and_o so_o at_o the_o same_o time_n pay_v it_o a_o duty_n and_o do_v it_o a_o courtesy_n too_o but_o when_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o some_o man_n the_o spiritual_a function_n as_o such_o must_v render_v a_o churchman_n though_o otherwise_o never_o so_o discreet_a and_o qualify_v yet_o mere_o because_o he_o be_v a_o churchman_n

to_o secure_v the_o affair_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o which_o every_o thrive_a grazier_n can_v think_v himself_o but_o ill_o deal_v with_o if_o within_o his_o own_o country_n he_o be_v not_o mount_v to_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o such_o discontent_a person_n intend_v not_o that_o religion_n shall_v advise_v they_o upon_o any_o other_o term_n than_o that_o they_o may_v ride_v and_o govern_v their_o religion_n but_o sure_o all_o our_o king_n and_o our_o parliament_n understand_v well_o enough_o what_o they_o do_v when_o they_o think_v fit_a to_o prop_v and_o fortify_v the_o spiritual_a order_n with_o some_o power_n that_o be_v temporal_a and_o such_o be_v the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o observe_a eye_n that_o if_o the_o bishop_n have_v no_o other_o defensative_n but_o excommunication_n no_o other_o power_n but_o that_o of_o the_o key_n he_o may_v for_o any_o notable_a effect_n that_o he_o be_v like_a to_o do_v upon_o the_o factious_a and_o contumacious_a surrender_v up_o his_o pastoral_a staff_n shut_v up_o the_o church_n and_o put_v those_o key_n under_o the_o door_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o three_o thing_n include_v in_o the_o general_a nature_n of_o government_n but_o to_o prescribe_v the_o manner_n of_o it_o in_o particular_a be_v neither_o in_o my_o power_n nor_o inclination_n only_o i_o suppose_v the_o common_a
but_o withal_o prepare_v for_o it_o a_o suitable_a object_n and_o that_o in_o order_n to_o its_o gratification_n can_v we_o think_v that_o religion_n be_v design_v only_o for_o a_o contradiction_n to_o nature_n and_o with_o the_o great_a and_o most_o irrational_a tyranny_n in_o the_o world_n to_o tantalise_v and_o tie_v man_n up_o from_o enjoyment_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o opportunity_n of_o enjoyment_n to_o place_n man_n with_o the_o furious_a affection_n of_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n in_o the_o very_a bosom_n of_o plenty_n and_o then_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o envy_n of_o providence_n have_v seal_v up_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v suitable_a under_o the_o character_n of_o unlawful_a for_o certain_o first_o to_o frame_v appetite_n fit_a to_o receive_v pleasure_n and_o then_o to_o interdict_v they_o with_o a_o touch_v not_o taste_v not_o can_v be_v nothing_o else_o than_o only_o to_o give_v they_o occasion_n to_o devour_v and_o prey_n upon_o themselves_o and_o so_o to_o keep_v man_n under_o the_o perpetual_a torment_n of_o a_o unsatisfy_a desire_n a_o thing_n huge_o contrary_a to_o the_o natural_a felicity_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o consequent_o to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o great_a creator_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v persuade_v man_n to_o religion_n both_o with_o art_n and_o efficacy_n must_v found_v the_o persuasion_n of_o it_o upon_o this_o that_o it_o interfere_n not_o with_o any_o rational_a pleasure_n that_o it_o bid_v no_o body_n quit_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o any_o one_o thing_n that_o his_o reason_n can_v prove_v to_o he_o aught_o to_o be_v enjoy_v it_o be_v confess_v when_o through_o the_o cross_a circumstance_n of_o a_o man_n temper_n or_o condition_n the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o pleasure_n will_v certain_o expose_v he_o to_o a_o great_a inconvenience_n than_o religion_n bid_v he_o quit_v it_o that_o be_v it_o bid_v he_o prefer_v the_o endurance_n of_o a_o lesser_a evil_n before_o a_o great_a and_o nature_n itself_o do_v no_o less_o religion_n therefore_o entrenche_n upon_o none_o of_o our_o privilege_n invade_v none_o of_o our_o pleasure_n it_o may_v indeed_o sometime_o command_v we_o to_o change_v but_o never_o total_o to_o abjure_v they_o but_o it_o be_v easy_o foresee_v that_o this_o discourse_n will_v in_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o it_o be_v encounter_v by_o a_o argument_n from_o experience_n and_o therefore_o not_o more_o obvious_a than_o strong_a namely_o that_o it_o can_v but_o be_v the_o great_a trouble_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o man_n thus_o as_o it_o be_v even_o to_o shake_v off_o himself_o and_o to_o defy_v his_o nature_n by_o a_o perpetual_a thwart_v of_o his_o innate_a appetite_n and_o desire_n which_o yet_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o a_o severe_a and_o impartial_a prosecution_n of_o a_o course_n of_o piety_n nay_o and_o we_o have_v this_o assert_v also_o by_o the_o verdict_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o still_o make_v the_o discipline_n of_o self-denial_n and_o the_o cross_n those_o terrible_a blow_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o indispensable_a requisit_n to_o the_o be_v of_o his_o disciple_n all_o which_o be_v so_o will_v not_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o attempt_v to_o persuade_v man_n to_o piety_n from_o the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o be_v liable_a to_o that_o invective_n taunt_v from_o all_o mankind_n that_o the_o israelite_n give_v to_o moses_n will_v thou_o put_v out_o the_o eye_n of_o this_o people_n will_v thou_o persuade_v we_o out_o of_o our_o first_o notion_n will_v thou_o demonstrate_v that_o there_o be_v any_o delight_n in_o a_o cross_n any_o comfort_n in_o violent_a abridgement_n and_o which_o be_v the_o great_a paradox_n of_o all_o that_o the_o high_a pleasure_n be_v to_o abstain_v from_o it_o for_o answer_v to_o which_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o all_o argument_n whatsoever_o against_o experience_n be_v fallacious_a and_o therefore_o in_o order_n to_o the_o clear_v of_o the_o assertion_n lay_v down_o i_o shall_v premise_v these_o two_o consideration_n 1._o that_o pleasure_n be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o a_o relative_n thing_n and_o so_o import_v a_o peculiar_a relation_n and_o correspondence_n to_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o it_o be_v a_o pleasure_n for_o as_o those_o who_o discourse_v of_o atom_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v atom_n of_o all_o form_n some_o round_a some_o triangular_a some_o square_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o be_v continual_o in_o motion_n and_o never_o settle_v till_o they_o fall_v into_o a_o fit_a circumscription_n or_o place_n of_o the_o same_o figure_n so_o there_o be_v the_o like_a great_a diversity_n of_o mind_n and_o object_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o this_o object_n strike_v upon_o a_o mind_n thus_o or_o thus_o dispose_v fly_v off_o and_o rebound_v without_o make_v any_o impression_n but_o the_o same_o lucky_o happen_v upon_o another_o of_o a_o disposition_n as_o it_o be_v frame_v for_o it_o be_v present_o catch_v at_o and_o greedy_o clasp_v into_o the_o near_a union_n and_o embrace_n 2._o the_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v this_o that_o the_o estate_n of_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v more_o or_o less_o different_a from_o that_o estate_n into_o which_o the_o same_o person_n do_v or_o may_v pass_v by_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o which_o the_o philosopher_n call_v virtue_n and_o into_o which_o man_n be_v much_o more_o effectual_o and_o sublime_o translate_v by_o that_o which_o we_o call_v grace_n that_o be_v by_o the_o supernatural_a overpower_a operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n the_o difference_n of_o which_o two_o estate_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o in_o the_o former_a the_o sensitive_a appetite_n rule_v and_o domineer_v in_o the_o latter_a the_o supreme_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n call_v reason_n sway_v the_o sceptre_n and_o act_n the_o whole_a man_n above_o the_o irregular_a demand_n of_o appetite_n and_o affection_n that_o the_o distinction_n between_o these_o two_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a figment_n frame_v only_o to_o serve_v a_o hypothesis_n in_o divinity_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o be_v real_o under_o one_o before_o he_o be_v under_o the_o other_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o show_v a_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o or_o rather_o indeed_o why_o it_o can_v but_o be_v so_o and_o it_o be_v this_o because_o every_o man_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o life_n for_o several_a year_n be_v capable_a only_o of_o exercise_v his_o sensitive_a faculty_n and_o desire_n the_o use_n of_o reason_n not_o show_v itself_o till_o about_o the_o seven_o year_n of_o his_o age_n and_o then_o at_o length_n but_o as_o it_o be_v dawn_v in_o very_o

all_o when_o a_o man_n for_o the_o space_n of_o his_o first_o six_o year_n and_o those_o the_o year_n of_o ductility_n and_o impression_n have_v be_v whole_o rule_v by_o the_o propension_n of_o sense_n at_o that_o age_n very_o eager_a and_o impetuous_a that_o then_o after_o all_o his_o reason_n beginning_n to_o exert_v and_o put_v forth_o itself_o find_v the_o man_n prepossess_v and_o under_o another_o power_n so_o that_o it_o have_v much_o ado_n by_o many_o little_a step_n and_o gradual_a conquest_n to_o recover_v its_o prerogative_n from_o the_o usurpation_n of_o appetite_n and_o
