and_o easy_a in_o themselves_o ii_o that_o christ_n by_o what_o he_o have_v do_v have_v render_v they_o much_o more_o facile_a than_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o i._o that_o the_o command_n of_o

that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o persevere_v in_o do_v it_o but_o if_o the_o consequent_n which_o in_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n be_v ordinary_o link_v to_o such_o a_o action_n be_v evil_a and_o hurtful_a he_o thereby_o declare_v his_o dislike_n and_o abhorrence_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o we_o shall_v

be_v nothing_o vicious_a but_o be_v also_o injurious_a to_o we_o nothing_o virtuous_a but_o be_v advantageous_a and_o in_o this_o the_o good_a and_o evil_a of_o all_o humane_a virtue_n and_o vice_n do_v consist_v and_o it_o be_v pure_o for_o this_o reason_n why_o he_o forbid_v the_o one_o and_o command_v the_o other_o because_o he_o be_v our_o friend_n and_o will_v not_o have_v we_o neglect_v any_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o our_o good_a nor_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v hurtful_a and_o injurious_a to_o we_o and_o because_o he_o know_v that_o while_n we_o be_v thus_o frame_v and_o do_v

at_o it_o so_o that_o we_o can_v run_v from_o any_o duty_n into_o any_o sin_n without_o leave_v a_o benefit_n for_o a_o mischief_n and_o leap_v out_o of_o some_o degree_n of_o happiness_n into_o

the_o apostle_n call_v the_o whole_a of_o our_o religion_n a_o reasonable_a service_n rom._n twelve_o 1_o and_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o any_o consider_a man_n in_o the_o world_n whether_o those_o virtue_n which_o god_n have_v enjoin_v be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n far_o more_o reasonable_a than_o any_o of_o the_o contrary_a vice_n whether_o suppose_v there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o make_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o from_o who_o we_o derive_v our_o being_n and_o all_o the_o blessing_n we_o enjoy_v or_o expect_v it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o reasonable_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v worship_v and_o revere_a and_o love_n and_o honour_n and_o obey_v he_o than_o that_o we_o shall_v neglect_v and_o despise_v blaspheme_v and_o rebel_n against_o he_o or_o whether_o we_o can_v behave_v ourselves_o so_o unworthy_o to_o one_o that_o have_v deserve_v so_o well_o at_o our_o hand_n without_o do_v the_o great_a violence_n to_o our_o own_o reason_n whether_o since_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o reasonable_a being_n and_o our_o reason_n be_v the_o noble_a ingredient_n of_o our_o nature_n it_o do_v not_o much_o better_o become_v we_o to_o subject_v our_o blind_a passion_n and_o appetite_n to_o those_o eternal_a rule_n of_o temperance_n which_o right_a reason_n prescribe_v than_o to_o let_v loose_v the_o reins_o to_o they_o and_o suffer_v they_o to_o run_v headlong_o into_o all_o excess_n and_o riot_n whether_o since_o we_o be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o great_a society_n of_o mankind_n it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o conducive_a to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a to_o behave_v ourselves_o just_o and_o honest_o charitable_o and_o oblige_v one_o towards_o another_o than_o to_o defraud_v and_o oppress_v malign_v and_o persecute_v one_o another_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v ever_o think_v twice_o of_o these_o matter_n whether_o in_o point_n of_o reasonableness_n the_o advantage_n be_v not_o whole_o on_o the_o side_n of_o virtue_n yea_o and_o whether_o the_o opposite_a vice_n compare_v with_o these_o virtue_n seem_v not_o as_o extravagant_a as_o the_o wild_a freak_n of_o a_o madman_n compare_v with_o the_o wise_a management_n of_o a_o minister_n of_o state_n but_o i_o need_v not_o appeal_v to_o particular_a man_n in_o this_o matter_n since_o all_o the_o reasonable_a world_n be_v agree_v in_o the_o point_n and_o the_o man_n of_o all_o age_n and_o nation_n and_o religion_n how_o much_o soever_o in_o other_o point_v they_o have_v dissent_v from_o one_o another_o yet_o in_o this_o have_v still_o be_v unanimous_a that_o virtue_n be_v the_o wise_a and_o most_o reasonable_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o vice_n the_o most_o absurd_a and_o irrational_a and_o this_o not_o only_o in_o the_o general_n but_o in_o all_o those_o particular_a instance_n of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n which_o christianity_n command_v and_o forbid_v for_o except_v the_o two_o sacrament_n and_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o be_v the_o institute_v mean_n of_o our_o religion_n there_o be_v nothing_o make_v matter_n of_o duty_n to_o we_o but_o what_o all_o the_o wise_a world_n have_v long_o before_o pronounce_v most_o high_o fit_v and_o reasonable_a this_o therefore_o must_v needs_o render_v the_o command_n of_o god_n very_o easy_a to_o we_o that_o they_o do_v so_o perfect_o agree_v with_o our_o reasonable_a nature_n and_o require_v nothing_o of_o we_o either_o to_o be_v do_v or_o avoid_v but_o what_o the_o reason_n of_o every_o wise_a man_n will_v have_v oblige_v he_o to_o whether_o god_n have_v command_v it_o or_o no._n so_o that_o now_o to_o facilitate_v our_o duty_n we_o have_v the_o full_a

if_o reason_v be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n religion_n must_v be_v either_o natural_a or_o unreasonable_a so_o that_o religion_n disagree_v with_o we_o upon_o no_o other_o account_n but_o only_o

of_o those_o notorious_a cheat_n and_o imposture_n that_o be_v in_o it_o thus_o also_o by_o the_o bias_n of_o our_o natural_a commiseration_n we_o be_v strong_o incline_v to_o charity_n and_o

thing_n in_o the_o world_n 4_o lie_n another_o thing_n that_o make_v those_o virtue_n which_o god_n command_v to_o be_v easy_a be_v this_o that_o they_o be_v all_o so_o inseparable_o connect_v to_o

his_o love_n and_o while_o he_o be_v ravish_v with_o the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o good_a will_n the_o undeservedness_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o the_o clemency_n of_o his_o pardon_n a_o heavenly_a spirit_n steal_v into_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o love_v and_o become_v like_o god_n so_o both_o at_o once_o that_o like_o a_o wedg_n of_o steel_n he_o be_v transform_v into_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o fire_n that_o heat_v he_o and_o be_v all_o inflame_a and_o enlighten_v at_o the_o same_o moment_n and_o as_o he_o burn_v with_o love_n so_o he_o resemble_v the_o goodness_n that_o set_v he_o

for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o near_a neighbourhood_n between_o these_o heavenly_a sister_n that_o when_o we_o be_v arrive_v at_o one_o we_o pass_v insensible_o to_o the_o next_o and_o so_o on_o by_o

that_o they_o be_v so_o near_o confederate_v to_o each_o other_o and_o so_o do_v natural_o contribute_v to_o each_o other_o assistance_n for_o whereas_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o this_o there_o

the_o second_o and_o so_o every_o single_a virtue_n will_v be_v equal_o difficult_a now_o the_o main_a difficulty_n lie_v in_o the_o first_o we_o begin_v with_o for_o by_o practise_v of_o that_o we_o
