we_o can_v conceive_v it_o because_o we_o can_v for_o though_o our_o conception_n of_o former_a thing_n guide_v we_o in_o form_v notion_n of_o what_o be_v future_a yet_o sure_o our_o conception_n of_o any_o thing_n as_o future_a be_v much_o another_o sort_n of_o conception_n from_o what_o we_o have_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o past_a as_o appear_v from_o its_o different_a effect_n for_o if_o a_o object_n be_v apprehend_v good_a we_o conceive_v of_o it_o as_o past_a with_o sorrow_n as_o future_a with_o hope_n and_o joy_n if_o evil_a with_o joy_n as_o past_a with_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n as_o future_a and_o which_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n discover_v and_o magnify_v the_o intellectual_a power_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n that_o they_o can_v form_v a_o conception_n howsoever_o imperfect_a of_o this_o absolute_a perfect_a be_v whereof_o we_o be_v discourse_v which_o even_o they_o that_o acknowledge_v not_o its_o existence_n can_v deny_v except_o they_o will_v profess_v themselves_o blind_o and_o at_o a_o venture_n to_o deny_v they_o know_v not_o what_o or_o what_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o they_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o their_o power_n of_o compare_v thing_n of_o discern_v and_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o their_o agreement_n and_o disagreement_n their_o proportion_n and_o disproportion_n to_o one_o another_o of_o affirm_v or_o

which_o when_o it_o be_v its_o self_n reject_v the_o dominion_n of_o any_o other_o than_o the_o supreme_a lord_n and_o refuse_v satisfaction_n in_o any_o other_o than_o the_o supreme_a and_o most_o

second_o that_o by_o they_o it_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a that_o it_o owe_v itself_o to_o a_o wise_a and_o intelligent_a cause_n as_o to_o the_o former_a of_o these_o we_o need_v say_v the_o less_o because_o that_o sort_n of_o atheist_n with_o who_o we_o have_v chief_o now_o to_o do_v deny_v not_o humane_a soul_n to_o have_v have_v a_o beginning_n as_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o body_n they_o animate_v by_o the_o same_o generation_n and_o that_o such_o generation_n do_v sometime_o begin_v that_o only_o rude_a and_o wild_o move_v matter_n be_v from_o eternity_n and_o that_o by_o infinite_a alteration_n and_o commixture_n in_o that_o eternity_n it_o fall_v at_o last_o into_o this_o orderly_a frame_n and_o state_n wherein_o thing_n now_o be_v and_o become_v prolific_a so_o as_o to_o give_v beginning_n to_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o live_a thing_n which_o do_v now_o continue_v to_o propagate_v themselves_o the_o mad_a folly_n of_o which_o random_n fancy_n we_o have_v be_v so_o large_o contend_v against_o hitherto_o the_o other_o sort_n who_o be_v for_o a_o eternal_a succession_n of_o generation_n have_v be_v sufficient_o refute_v by_o divers_a other_o and_o partly_o by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v in_o this_o discourse_n and_o we_o may_v further_o meet_v with_o they_o ere_o it_o be_v long_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n find_v not_o any_o profess_v atheism_n to_o make_v humane_a soul_n as_o such_o necessary_a and_o self-original_n being_n yet_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o consider_v not_o only_o what_o person_n of_o atheistical_a persuasion_n have_v say_v but_o what_o also_o they_o possible_o may_v say_v and_o moreover_o some_o that_o have_v be_v remote_a from_o atheism_n have_v be_v prone_a upon_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n to_o over-magnifie_a yea_o and_o even_o no_o less_o than_o deify_v it_o it_o be_v therefore_o needful_a to_o say_v somewhat_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o if_o nothing_o of_o direct_v and_o downright_a atheism_n have_v be_v the_o rash_a hyperbole_n as_o we_o will_v charitable_o call_v they_o and_o unwarrantable_a rhetorication_n of_o these_o latter_a shall_v they_o obtain_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o and_o receive_v as_o severe_a and_o strict_a assertion_n of_o truth_n be_v equal_o destructive_a of_o religion_n as_o the_o other_o more_o strange_o
