A60608	A future world in which mankind shall survive their mortal durations, demonstrated by rational evidence from natural and moral arguments against the atheists pretentions by William Smyth.	Smith, William, b. 1615 or 16.	1688 (1688)	Wing S4278; ESTC R25769	182,911	496

as_o reasonable_o inform_v his_o mind_n that_o where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o redundancy_n of_o trouble_n the_o man_n that_o be_v afflict_v with_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o also_o to_o his_o

to_o remove_v the_o discouragement_n which_o the_o mention_a consequence_n suggest_v to_o they_o for_o upon_o a_o suppose_a tender_a of_o election_n a_o good_a parent_n will_v in_o no_o sense_n have_v

the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n aught_o to_o be_v inform_v that_o all_o that_o while_o they_o be_v most_o ungrateful_o arraign_v and_o undervalue_v one_o of_o the_o choice_a

more_o due_o and_o equal_o balance_v in_o his_o choice_n of_o be_v virtuous_a so_o as_o to_o be_v capable_a of_o those_o vast_a reward_n and_o blessing_n which_o god_n design_v for_o and_o promise_v to_o he_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o upon_o god_n proposal_n of_o those_o extraordinary_a return_n of_o reward_n and_o blessing_n in_o another_o world_n the_o very_a sense_n and_o expectation_n of_o they_o will_v otherwise_o have_v overbalanced_a the_o freedom_n of_o his_o choice_n of_o be_v virtuous_a too_o much_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n towards_o a_o determination_n of_o his_o will_n and_o a_o necessity_n of_o choose_v have_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o those_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n so_o counterbalanced_a his_o mind_n and_o poise_v his_o will_n for_o a_o more_o equal_a freedom_n in_o his_o election_n of_o virtue_n so_o that_o have_v god_n almighty_a be_v please_v that_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n and_o religion_n shall_v have_v be_v more_o easy_a that_o be_v less_o encumber_v with_o those_o difficulty_n &_o discouragement_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v reasonable_o presume_v that_o god_n will_v have_v communicate_v to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n low_a apprehension_n of_o that_o future_a happiness_n and_o so_o the_o freedom_n of_o his_o will_n will_v have_v be_v balance_v for_o a_o lesser_a stress_n of_o choice_n and_o consequent_o with_o lesser_a hazard_n but_o than_o it_o must_v be_v also_o as_o reasonable_o presume_v that_o the_o happiness_n attainable_a as_o such_o a_o reward_n in_o the_o end_n will_v have_v be_v proportion_v to_o such_o a_o easy_a and_o less_o hazardous_a choice_n water_n be_v observe_v to_o rise_v to_o no_o high_a pitch_n than_o according_a to_o the_o advance_v they_o have_v from_o the_o original_a spring_n therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o mighty_a instance_n of_o god_n wisdom_n that_o he_o permit_v those_o difficulty_n and_o encumbrance_n to_o be_v so_o great_a and_o numerous_a that_o thereby_o he_o may_v make_v the_o hope_v for_o happiness_n proportionable_a for_o man_n be_v equal_o balance_v choice_n of_o so_o much_o virtue_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o such_o a_o attainment_n but_o then_o his_o goodness_n be_v infinite_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v on_o design_n to_o advance_v he_o to_o so_o much_o the_o high_o and_o noble_a degree_n of_o happiness_n in_o another_o world._n three_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o permit_v those_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n and_o to_o allow_v the_o possibility_n of_o be_v virtuous_a upon_o those_o hard_a term_n that_o he_o himself_o may_v act_v his_o divine_a favour_n to_o the_o virtuous_a part_n of_o mankind_n as_o near_o as_o possible_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n as_o well_o as_o of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n that_o be_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v make_v the_o free_a donation_n of_o such_o extraordinary_a reward_v blessing_n to_o the_o virtuous_a the_o more_o accountable_a and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o more_o justifiable_a to_o his_o own_o infinite_a reason_n and_o wisdom_n which_o st._n paul_n 6._o call_v the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o so_o all_o his_o divine_a attribute_n may_v be_v the_o better_o balance_v in_o make_v his_o creature_n man_n complete_o happy_a and_o who_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o many_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n more_o especial_o commander_n in_o army_n to_o offer_v such_o employment_n to_o their_o friend_n and_o favourite_n who_o they_o design_v to_o advance_v in_o repute_n and_o preferment_n as_o have_v the_o great_a trouble_n and_o hazard_v in_o they_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o justify_v to_o their_o own_o mind_n discretion_n in_o be_v noble_o kind_a to_o such_o adventurer_n and_o in_o which_o they_o may_v have_v more_o satisfaction_n to_o their_o generous_a mind_n than_o for_o any_o manner_n of_o advantage_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v to_o themselves_o by_o such_o their_o friend_n and_o favourite_n hazardous_a engagement_n and_o then_o why_o may_v not_o we_o as_o reasonable_o have_v the_o same_o thought_n of_o a_o wise_a and_o merciful_a god_n as_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n this_o the_o three_o reason_n four_o god_n be_v so_o far_o please_v to_o permit_v i_o can_v say_v to_o order_v that_o every_o person_n may_v

how_o can_v it_o but_o advance_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o all_o the_o glorify_v saint_n and_o angel_n can_v be_v able_a to_o say_v that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v not_o in_o the_o bless_a place_n altogether_o by_o a_o partial_a kindness_n with_o particular_a respect_n of_o his_o person_n only_o and_o so_o to_o have_v nothing_o to_o applaud_v but_o such_o a_o mere_a and_o irrespective_a love_n but_o that_o in_o the_o free_a donation_n of_o his_o happiness_n they_o can_v observe_v that_o all_o other_o the_o divine_a attribute_n do_v concentre_v with_o his_o love_n and_o so_o they_o may_v
