impossible_a in_o nature_n that_o man_n shall_v so_o unnatural_o deny_v a_o thing_n attest_v by_o thousand_o of_o reasonable_a and_o credible_a man_n so_o that_o to_o reject_v their_o evidence_n be_v to_o reject_v the_o evidence_n of_o mankind_n and_o that_o which_o make_v these_o infidel_n most_o notorious_o ridiculous_a be_v that_o they_o undoubted_o believe_v many_o thing_n which_o have_v not_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o this_o evidence_n or_o scarce_o any_o at_o all_o but_o as_o it_o be_v 2_o thess._n 2._o 11._o god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v a_o lie_n and_o not_o believe_v the_o truth_n shall_v i_o ask_v these_o man_n what_o far_a evidence_n they_o will_v have_v for_o a_o future_a life_n doubtless_o they_o will_v require_v a_o sight_n of_o some_o half_n a_o score_n to_o come_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o assure_v they_o of_o it_o our_o saviour_n say_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v it_o that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n the_o apostle_n and_o martyr_n neither_o will_v they_o hear_v though_o one_o or_o ten_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a but_o put_v the_o case_n some_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o assure_v they_o of_o another_o life_n and_o these_o man_n have_v many_o child_n of_o their_o own_o shall_v tell_v they_o what_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v and_o their_o child_n shall_v answer_v they_o will_v not_o believe_v unless_o they_o themselves_o also_o see_v and_o hear_v the_o very_a same_o will_v they_o not_o have_v great_a indignation_n at_o their_o child_n unbelief_n no_o doubt_n on_o it_o and_o yet_o their_o child_n have_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o themselves_o to_o deny_v it_o and_o so_o by_o their_o rule_n some_o must_v be_v daily_o come_v from_o the_o dead_a into_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n to_o satisfy_v man_n or_o else_o no_o belief_n be_v not_o this_o a_o most_o extravagant_a thing_n we_o have_v have_v great_a patience_n to_o talk_v with_o these_o so_o unreasonable_a man_n so_o long_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v a_o short_a reflection_n on_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o this_o matter_n if_o we_o have_v not_o bring_v absolute_o convince_a proof_n for_o a_o future_a life_n yet_o sure_o they_o be_v very_o probable_a proof_n so_o that_o consider_v our_o assertion_n and_o proof_n and_o their_o denial_n and_o no_o proof_n the_o judgement_n stand_v fair_a for_o we_o but_o the_o more_o to_o confute_v they_o i_o will_v yield_v that_o we_o be_v upon_o equal_a term_n nay_o what_o if_o i_o yield_v it_o be_v two_o to_o one_o on_o their_o side_n and_o yet_o show_v these_o great_a wit-pretender_n be_v witless_a in_o their_o way_n i_o propose_v to_o they_o a_o parable_n a_o certain_a man_n bring_v they_o a_o bottle_n of_o curious_a wine_n to_o drink_v there_o come_v in_o present_o three_o more_o whereof_o one_o cry_v out_o sir_n take_v heed_n what_o you_o do_v this_o man_n come_v to_o poison_v you_o i_o see_v he_o put_v most_o deadly_a poison_n into_o the_o bottle_n the_o other_o two_o laugh_v at_o it_o as_o a_o fable_n affirm_v both_o stand_v by_o when_o the_o wine_n be_v draw_v and_o they_o see_v no_o poison_n put_v in_o some_o of_o my_o brave_a youth_n say_v come_v the_o wine_n look_v very_o clear_a taste_v very_o pleasant_a away_o with_o these_o foolish_a fear_n let_v we_o drink_v and_o be_v merry_a other_o answer_v hold_v my_o master_n let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o venture_v our_o life_n for_o a_o glass_n of_o wine_n though_o therebe_n two_o witness_n to_o one_o that_o there_o be_v no_o poison_n in_o it_o yet_o this_o be_v but_o a_o negative_a proof_n poison_n may_v be_v put_v in_o and_o they_o not_o see_v it_o and_o then_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o life_n be_v a_o hundred_o to_o one_o more_o than_o the_o gain_n will_v be_v in_o drink_v it_o the_o pleasure_n be_v but_o for_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n the_o loss_n great_a and_o for_o ever_o i_o beseech_v you_o tell_v i_o which_o of_o these_o talk_n reason_n which_o madness_n be_v it_o not_o then_o far_o great_a madness_n for_o the_o small_a and_o momentary_a pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n to_o venture_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o eternal_a life_n of_o unspeakable_a felicity_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o plunge_v themselves_o headlong_o into_o eternal_a misery_n and_o all_o this_o not_o have_v two_o to_o one_o for_o they_o but_o a_o hundred_o to_o one_o against_o they_o if_o this_o be_v not_o desperate_a madness_n i_o beseech_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v who_o can_v choose_v but_o sad_o lament_v the_o dangerous_a condition_n of_o these_o man_n my_o only_a comfort_n be_v that_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n be_v able_a from_o stone_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n to_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v never_o cease_v to_o pray_v and_o hope_n that_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n will_v in_o his_o good_a time_n give_v a_o

our_o bless_a saviour_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o our_o hope_n and_o raise_v up_o in_o we_o fervent_a desire_n to_o live_v with_o st._n paul_n unto_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v die_v in_o christ_n rise_v again_o and_o reign_v with_o christ._n and_o for_o the_o encouragement_n and_o increase_n of_o your_o desire_n i_o beseech_v you_o remember_v that_o st._n paul_n be_v by_o nature_n of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o blood_n with_o we_o of_o the_o same_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n and_o of_o himself_o can_v do_v nothing_o no_o more_o than_o we_o but_o by_o grace_n can_v

i_o with_o st._n peter_n beseech_v you_o that_o the_o time_n past_a may_v suffice_v to_o have_v wrought_v the_o will_n of_o the_o gentile_n when_o we_o walk_v in_o lasciviousness_n lust_n excess_n

with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ._n the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o be_v dreadful_a wherefore_o i_o most_o humble_o and_o earnest_o beseech_v you_o all_o with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a to_o consider_v the_o king_n of_o glory_n the_o judge_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a we_o be_v to_o receive_v into_o our_o breast_n and_o that_o you_o will_v with_o repent_v tear_n so_o wash_v and_o make_v it_o clean_o with_o chastise_v mortification_n so_o rub_v and_o polish_v with_o fervent_a love_n and_o zealous_a devotion_n so_o deck_v and_o adorn_v it_o that_o it_o may_v become_v a_o fit_a

that_o our_o soul_n may_v be_v so_o refresh_v and_o strengthen_v by_o this_o heavenly_a food_n that_o henceforth_o we_o may_v live_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v
