which_o be_v so_o evident_o destructive_a of_o human_a felicity_n then_o to_o edge_n their_o spirit_n with_o fiery_a notion_n and_o strange_a phantasm_n which_o pretend_v indeed_o to_o the_o

there_o any_o way_n imaginable_a but_o this_o viz._n to_o adhere_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v uncontroverted_o good_a and_o true_a and_o to_o bestow_v all_o that_o zeal_n and_o all_o that_o

opinion_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v without_o controversy_n true_a to_o any_o that_o be_v not_o degenerate_a below_o man_n that_o temperance_n be_v better_a than_o intemperance_n justice_n then_o injustice_n humility_n then_o pride_n love_v then_o hatred_n and_o mercifulness_n than_o cruelty_n it_o be_v also_o uncontroverted_o true_a that_o god_n love_v his_o own_o image_n and_o that_o the_o propagation_n of_o it_o be_v the_o most_o true_a dispread_n of_o his_o glory_n as_o the_o light_n which_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o sun_n wherefore_o it_o be_v as_o plain_o true_a that_o god_n be_v as_o well_o willing_a as_o able_a to_o restore_v this_o image_n in_o man_n that_o his_o glory_n may_v shine_v in_o the_o world_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a faith_n to_o believe_v that_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n we_o may_v reach_v to_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n which_o be_v a_o simple_a mild_a benign_a

meet_v they_o that_o keep_v close_o to_o what_o they_o plain_o in_o their_o conscience_n be_v convince_v be_v the_o lead_n to_o it_o and_o i_o say_v that_o sober_a morality_n conscientious_o keep_v to_o be_v like_o the_o morning_n light_v reflect_v from_o the_o high_a cloud_n and_o a_o certain_a prodrome_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n itself_o but_o when_o he_o be_v rise_v above_o the_o

come_v hither_o be_v a_o pillar_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o for_o he_o have_v reach_v to_o the_o second_o covenant_n which_o he_o can_v in_o no_o more_o likelihood_n break_v then_o lay_v violent_a hand_n on_o himself_o to_o the_o take_v away_o of_o his_o natural_a life_n nay_o that_o will_v be_v far_o more_o easy_a than_o this_o for_o a_o man_n may_v kill_v himself_o in_o a_o trice_n but_o he_o can_v extinguish_v this_o divine_a life_n without_o long_a and_o miserable_a torture_n if_o this_o be_v to_o be_v a_o puritan_n eugenius_n i_o be_o a_o puritan_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v thou_o that_o by_o how_o much_o more_o a_o man_n precise_o take_v this_o way_n the_o more_o independent_a he_o will_v prove_v and_o the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o the_o life_n
