their_o ignorance_n and_o denial_n of_o god_n and_o of_o all_o true_a religion_n whatsoever_o their_o faith_n or_o profession_n may_v be_v as_o will_v be_v manifest_a from_o a_o brief_a discussion_n of_o these_o word_n with_o deduction_n of_o some_o few_o instance_n they_o profess_v that_o they_o know_v god_n now_o to_o know_v god_n be_v to_o understand_v as_o much_o as_o nature_n reason_n and_o

which_o we_o call_v religion_n in_o general_n thus_o far_o as_o man_n ought_v we_o to_o know_v god_n but_o much_o more_o as_o christian_n must_v we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v not_o only_o our_o creator_n preserver_n etc._n etc._n but_o our_o great_a lord_n and_o judge_n our_o merciful_a redeemer_n saviour_n and_o sanctifier_n too_o as_o well_o as_o lawgiver_n in_o his_o only_o beget_v eternal_a son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o further_o must_v we_o thus_o draw_v near_o or_o come_v unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v please_v he_o and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o rewarder_n of_o they_o that_o diligent_o seek_v he_o heb._n xi_o 7._o and_o then_o moreover_o we_o must_v obey_v his_o law_n live_v up_o to_o his_o gospel_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n which_o be_v our_o christian_a profession_n if_o we_o will_v true_o and_o right_o know_v he_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o we_o may_v well_o profess_v that_o we_o know_v god_n since_o hereby_o alone_o we_o shall_v know_v ourselves_o that_o we_o know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n herein_o shall_v we_o be_v full_o satisfy_v when_o we_o thus_o endeavour_v to_o love_n adore_v and_o imitate_v his_o infinite_a perfection_n as_o his_o law_n direct_v thus_o to_o renew_v his_o image_n upon_o our_o soul_n and_o resemble_v he_o as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v to_o our_o own_o sole_a happiness_n purify_n follow_v and_o unite_n our_o mind_n to_o the_o divine_a for_o whoso_o keep_v his_o word_n in_o he_o very_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n perfect_v yea_o hereby_o know_v we_o that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o so_o he_o that_o profess_v to_o know_v he_o or_o say_v he_o abide_v in_o he_o ought_v himself_o also_o so_o to_o walk_v even_o as_o he_o walk_v but_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o he_o 1_o joh._n two_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o but_o in_o work_n they_o deny_v he_o be_v abominable_a and_o disobedient_a and_o unto_o every_o good_a work_n reprobate_a so_o to_o deny_v god_n in_o our_o work_n be_v to_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o any_o know_a wilful_a sin_n that_o be_v hateful_a and_o
