now_o in_o very_a deed_n of_o all_o these_o sort_n of_o good_a man_n there_o be_v none_o that_o be_v true_o so_o this_o assertion_n general_o take_v may_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o unjust_a for_o one_o

sole_a love_n he_o have_v to_o virtue_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o good_a man_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n if_o this_o be_v not_o and_o what_o be_v further_a needful_a to_o have_v this_o quality_n it_o seem_v true_a that_o our_o action_n can_v have_v a_o noble_a principle_n than_o this_o viz._n to_o satisfy_v conscience_n and_o to_o love_v virtue_n for_o its_o own_o sake_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v a_o right_n honest_a man_n we_o must_v then_o presuppose_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o and_o according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o good_a work_n but_o that_o which_o be_v do_v in_o consideration_n and_o out_o of_o love_n of_o the_o sovereign_a good_a which_o be_v god_n himself_o for_o be_v it_o beleevable_a that_o god_n may_v approve_v of_o a_o work_n in_o which_o himself_o be_v no_o way_n consider_v or_o that_o he_o may_v take_v he_o for_o good_a that_o neglect_v or_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o chief_a goodness_n and_o have_v no_o affection_n to_o it_o this_o grant_v it_o be_v evident_a why_o the_o only_a love_n of_o conscience_n or_o of_o virtue_n make_v not_o a_o honest_a man_n for_o neither_o conscience_n nor_o virtue_n be_v god_n they_o be_v amiable_a by_o reason_n of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o high_a goodness_n but_o whosoever_o love_v they_o without_o he_o know_v not_o so_o much_o as_o what_o good_a be_v such_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o many_o the_o pagan_n and_o even_o such_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o many_o now_o adays_o wherefore_o god_n be_v please_v that_o the_o heathen_a shall_v outgo_v the_o saint_n in_o many_o virtuous_a action_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o the_o heathen_a history_n we_o have_v more_o example_n of_o heroic_a virtue_n then_o what_o be_v read_v in_o the_o bible_n itself_o let_v we_o mention_v but_o some_o of_o they_o we_o praise_v the_o continency_n of_o joseph_n but_o that_o of_o alexander_n and_o scipio_n come_v not_o short_a of_o it_o we_o talk_v of_o the_o

be_v between_o david_n and_o jonathan_n but_o how_o many_o example_n of_o pagan_n that_o will_v have_v die_v for_o their_o friend_n we_o have_v in_o esteem_v the_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n that_o punish_v the_o adultery_n of_o the_o israelite_n with_o the_o madianitish_a woman_n but_o be_v this_o act_n comparable_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o that_o prince_n who_o have_v rather_o that_o one_o of_o his_o own_o eye_n shall_v be_v put_v out_o and_o another_o of_o his_o own_o son_n that_o have_v commit_v that_o adultery_n then_o to_o baffle_v the_o law_n that_o ordain_v to_o put_v out_o both_o

that_o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a of_o that_o filth_n we_o extol_v the_o generosity_n of_o moses_n who_o refuse_v to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n daughter_n and_o give_v over_o the_o

have_v fetch_v he_o with_o danger_n of_o their_o life_n 2_o sam._n 23._o but_o divers_a general_n of_o army_n mortal_o wound_v will_v not_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o their_o wound_n staunch_v nor_o

banish_v and_o confiscate_v they_o we_o proclaim_v the_o kindness_n of_o joseph_n that_o be_v the_o nourisher_n of_o his_o father_n but_o they_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o son_n who_o to_o save_v his_o father_n cast_v himself_o into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fire_n we_o admire_v divers_a other_o example_n of_o virtue_n which_o be_v famous_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o heathen_a have_v show_v action_n far_o beyond_o yet_o have_v there_o always_o be_v more_o goodness_n and_o more_o virtue_n without_o comparison_n in_o the_o saint_n then_o in_o infidel_n divers_a of_o the_o pagan_n action_n have_v be_v great_a very_o and_o more_o vigorous_a but_o they_o be_v not_o enliven_v from_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o virtue_n which_o be_v faith_n in_o god_n and_o have_v not_o his_o glory_n for_o their_o aim_n so_o many_o creature_n surpass_v man_n in_o divers_a act_n of_o foresight_n natural_a affection_n courage_n temperance_n fidelity_n gratitude_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v but_o the_o resemblance_n of_o virtue_n neither_o can_v one_o say_v that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o any_o moral_a goodness_n but_o see_v here_o our_o question_n whatever_o virtuous_a action_n the_o
