or_o a_o conscience_n keep_v without_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man._n grant_v this_o 2_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o this_o happy_a man_n to_o be_v find_v under_o any_o

a_o strict_a analogy_n with_o his_o be_v more_o than_o ordinary_o attentive_a to_o this_o lux_fw-la divina_fw-la it_o seem_v hard_o indeed_o to_o conceive_v any_o other_o different_a degree_n of_o

the_o want_n of_o this_o reflection_n and_o attention_n to_o which_o our_o present_a infidelity_n owe_v it_o rise_v i_o know_v mr._n norris_n will_v have_v this_o light_n in_o some_o degree_n thereof_o to_o be_v not_o only_o the_o same_o with_o what_o we_o call_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o in_o a_o more_o inferior_a acceptation_n the_o common_a mode_n of_o the_o

all_o true_a religion_n and_o put_v the_o most_o contemptible_a brute_n in_o competition_n with_o he_o we_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n found_v upon_o his_o

this_o desire_n or_o expectation_n be_v so_o palpable_o conspicuous_a that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v consider_v it_o without_o perceive_v it_o for_o if_o mankind_n have_v be_v compel_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o or_o have_v there_o be_v a_o perfect_a impossibility_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v fall_v into_o infidelity_n in_o what_o i_o pray_v have_v lie_v the_o advantage_n of_o a_o religious_a faith_n if_o man_n though_o never_o so_o desirous_a can_v not_o be_v vicious_a where_o have_v be_v the_o benefit_n or_o the_o just_a reward_n of_o

to_o countenance_v this_o opinion_n that_o man_n be_v not_o a_o free_a agent_n or_o invest_v with_o this_o power_n which_o we_o contend_v for_o but_o whoever_o will_v take_v the_o trouble_n of_o
