the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o obligation_n have_v give_v offence_n to_o any_o good_a or_o learned_a man_n but_o that_o sorrow_n be_v not_o a_o sorrow_n of_o repentance_n but_o of_o real_a trouble_n and_o concern_v for_o they_o that_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o far_o carry_v away_o by_o prejudice_n and_o preconceive_a opinion_n that_o they_o will_v not_o give_v entertainment_n to_o those_o principle_n that_o be_v the_o eternal_a pillar_n upon_o which_o nature_n stand_v and_o the_o only_a true_a ground_n of_o duty_n and_o obligation_n to_o which_o all_o particular_a instance_n be_v bring_v for_o trial_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a that_o either_o popery_n enthusiasm_n or_o atheism_n shall_v obtain_v but_o where_o those_o principle_n be_v not_o believe_v and_o he_o that_o substitute_n any_o other_o crabbed_a scholastic_a and_o unintelligible_a word_n instead_o of_o thing_n and_o notion_n in_o their_o place_n do_v but_o give_v a_o manifest_a advantage_n to_o all_o three_o let_v he_o pretend_v to_o never_o so_o great_a learning_n piety_n or_o zeal_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o clearness_n and_o irrefragable_a demonstration_n of_o what_o i_o have_v write_v that_o i_o may_v give_v the_o world_n all_o possible_a satisfaction_n i_o shall_v send_v another_o discourse_n upon_o the_o same_o subject_a to_o the_o press_n by_o which_o the_o same_o thing_n will_v be_v still_o more_o full_o though_o i_o can_v say_v more_o evident_o make_v out_o that_o interest_n understand_v in_o that_o latitude_n in_o which_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o be_v the_o only_a true_a principle_n and_o the_o only_a intelligible_a ground_n of_o obligation_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v be_v satisfy_v that_o i_o be_o no_o changeling_n and_o that_o these_o be_v not_o thought_n take_v up_o of_o a_o sudden_a or_o as_o may_v be_v suspect_v by_o some_o design_v only_o to_o serve_v a_o present_a turn_n i_o must_v let_v they_o know_v that_o the_o much_o great_a part_n of_o this_o same_o second_o discourse_n for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o order_n of_o publication_n be_v write_v full_a two_o year_n ago_o and_o as_o much_o as_o since_o august_n last_o and_o it_o be_v then_o write_v with_o the_o same_o design_n to_o prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n german_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o discourse_n itself_o and_o as_o be_v well_o know_v to_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n both_o in_o the_o college_n and_o out_o of_o it_o neither_o indeed_o be_v this_o notion_n so_o new_a as_o some_o may_v think_v

its_o true_a latitude_n and_o most_o philosophical_a sense_n be_v the_o root_n of_o obligation_n and_o we_o may_v add_v to_o what_o the_o psalmist_n have_v say_v that_o man_n will_v not_o only_o praise_v he_o but_o he_o shall_v have_v praise_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o praise_v but_o save_v he_o into_o the_o bargain_n for_o salvation_n be_v not_o
