this_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o enoch_n the_o seven_o from_o adam_n who_o in_o all_o probability_n have_v it_o from_o

though_o there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o act_n and_o live_v like_o person_n influence_v or_o overawe_v by_o that_o belief_n so_o that_o if_o christian_n keep_v close_o to_o their_o principle_n it_o can_v be_v no_o difficult_a thing_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o they_o imbibe_n with_o their_o mothers-milk_n and_o education_n advance_v into_o a_o open_a profession_n and_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o grand_a article_n of_o the_o jewish_a faith_n none_o can_v deny_v that_o ever_o converse_v with_o they_o that_o the_o mahometan_n be_v steadfast_a and_o sincere_a in_o their_o assertion_n and_o clear_a in_o this_o point_n any_o one_o may_v see_v that_o have_v read_v their_o alcoran_n and_o that_o the_o heathen_a world_n be_v no_o stranger_n to_o it_o appear_v from_o what_o their_o sybilline_a oracle_n their_o philosopher_n and_o poet_n have_v profess_v the_o sybilline_a oracle_n indeed_o be_v suspect_v by_o learned_a man_n and_o look_v upon_o as_o pious_a fraud_n use_v

have_v confirm_v any_o of_o their_o doctrine_n from_o these_o oracle_n if_o the_o heathen_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o either_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o those_o thing_n have_v be_v speak_v

this_o will_v have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o argument_n against_o the_o pagan_n that_o the_o chrisitans_fw-la will_v have_v lay_v themselves_o open_a in_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o in_o these_o quotation_n have_v they_o be_v false_a or_o supposititious_a phaed._n however_o plato_n write_n have_v be_v convey_v to_o we_o without_o any_o signal_n corruption_n and_o he_o give_v we_o a_o very_a accurate_a account_n of_o this_o great_a day_n as_o hydaspes_n a_o ancient_a king_n of_o the_o mede_n have_v do_v before_o he_o and_o the_o heathen_a poet_n though_o indulge_v their_o fancy_n in_o something_n yet_o have_v deliver_v many_o excellent_a truth_n to_o we_o whereof_o this_o future_a judgement_n be_v not_o the_o least_o we_o need_v go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o six_o book_n of_o virgil_n aeneis_n where_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a heathen_a sage_n be_v collect_v and_o express_v in_o verse_n and_o it_o be_v worth_a observe_v that_o he_o make_v his_o judge_n rhadamantus_n inflict_v particular_a punishment_n on_o those_o soul_n that_o have_v differ_v their_o repentance_n to_o their_o deathbed_n and_o how_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o whole_a world_n at_o least_o the_o wise_a part_n of_o it_o shall_v so_o unanimous_o believe_v a_o future_a judgement_n after_o this_o life_n if_o either_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o great_a propensity_n in_o their_o nature_n to_o believe_v the_o notion_n or_o reason_n have_v not_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o certainty_n and_o reality_n of_o the_o thing_n if_o we_o grant_v that_o god_n have_v give_v a_o

god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o law_n and_o what_o law_n more_o suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n or_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n than_o what_o we_o have_v in_o the_o bible_n which_o be_v indeed_o
