body_n indignation_n and_o wrath_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n upon_o every_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o do_v evil_a so_o that_o if_o these_o pleasure_n be_v great_a than_o they_o be_v a_o man_n have_v better_o be_v without_o they_o than_o purchase_v they_o at_o such_o dear_a rate_n to_o the_o second_o that_o religion_n impose_v many_o harsh_a and_o grievous_a thing_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o as_o the_o bearing_z of_o persecution_n repentance_n and_o mortification_n fast_v and_o abstinence_n and_o many_o other_o rigour_n and_o severity_n as_o to_o persecution_n this_o discourse_n do_v not_o pretend_v that_o religion_n exempt_v man_n from_o outward_a trouble_n but_o that_o when_o they_o happen_v it_o support_v man_n under_o they_o better_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o as_o for_o repentance_n and_o mortification_n this_o chief_o concern_v our_o first_o entrance_n into_o religion_n after_o a_o wicked_a life_n which_o i_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o discourse_n to_o be_v very_o grievous_a but_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o though_o religion_n may_v be_v

the_o trouble_n of_o repentance_n be_v it_o be_v unavoidable_a unless_o we_o resolve_v to_o be_v miserable_a for_o except_o we_o repent_v we_o must_v perish_v now_o there_o be_v always_o a_o rational_a satisfaction_n in_o submit_v to_o a_o less_o inconvenience_n to_o remedy_n and_o prevent_v a_o great_a as_o for_o fast_v and_o abstinence_n which_o be_v many_o time_n very_o helpful_a and_o subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o end_n of_o religion_n there_o be_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a trouble_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v discreet_o manage_v as_o be_v worth_a the_o speak_n of_o and_o as_o for_o other_o rigour_n and_o severity_n which_o some_o pretend_v religion_n do_v impose_v i_o have_v only_o this_o to_o say_v that_o if_o man_n will_v play_v the_o fool_n and_o make_v religion_n more_o troublesome_a than_o god_n have_v make_v it_o i_o can_v help_v that_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o false_a representation_n of_o religion_n which_o some_o in_o the_o world_n have_v make_v as_o if_o it_o do_v chief_o consist_v not_o in_o please_a god_n but_o in_o displease_v and_o torment_v ourselves_o this_o be_v not_o to_o paint_v religion_n like_o herself_o but_o rather_o like_o one_o of_o the_o fury_n with_o nothing_o but_o whip_n and_o snake_n about_o she_o to_o the_o three_o that_o those_o who_o be_v religious_a be_v many_o time_n very_o disconsolate_a and_o full_a of_o trouble_n this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o great_a objection_n indeed_o if_o religion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o trouble_n but_o there_o be_v other_o plain_a cause_n of_o it_o to_o which_o religion_n right_o understand_v be_v not_o accessary_a as_o false_a and_o mistake_v principle_n in_o religion_n the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o a_o melancholy_a temper_n and_o disposition_n false_a and_o mistake_v principle_n in_o religion_n as_o this_o for_o one_o that_o god_n do_v not_o sincere_o desire_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n but_o have_v from_o all_o

fear_v that_o he_o may_v be_v in_o that_o number_n this_o be_v a_o melancholy_a consideration_n indeed_o if_o it_o be_v true_a but_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n either_o from_o reason_n or_o scripture_n to_o entertain_v any_o such_o thought_n of_o god_n our_o destruction_n be_v of_o ourselves_o and_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v ruin_v by_o any_o decree_n of_o god_n who_o do_v not_o ruin_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o fault_n or_o else_o the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n some_o perhaps_o be_v very_o devout_a in_o serve_v god_n but_o not_o so_o kind_a and_o charitable_a so_o just_a and_o honest_a in_o their_o deal_n with_o man_n no_o wonder_n if_o such_o person_n be_v disquiet_v the_o natural_a conscience_n of_o man_n be_v not_o more_o apt_a to_o

impartial_a and_o universal_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n will_v blame_v religion_n for_o that_o which_o plain_o proceed_v from_o the_o want_n of_o religion_n or_o last_o a_o melancholy_a temper_n and_o disposition_n which_o be_v not_o from_o religion_n but_o from_o our_o nature_n and_o constituion_n and_o therefore_o religion_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v

religion_n right_o understand_v and_o sincere_o practise_v be_v apt_a to_o bring_v to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o i_o do_v not_o know_v by_o what_o sort_n of_o argument_n religion_n can_v be_v more_o effectual_o recommend_v to_o wise_a and_o considerate_a man_n for_o in_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v religious_a i_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o rob_v they_o of_o any_o true_a pleasure_n and_o

not_o of_o god_n here_o be_v a_o plain_a and_o sensible_a evidence_n by_o which_o every_o man_n that_o will_v deal_v honest_o with_o h●mself_n may_v certain_o know_v his_o own_o condition_n and_o then_o according_a as_o he_o find_v it_o to_o be_v may_v take_v comfort_n in_o it_o or_o make_v haste_n out_o of_o it_o and_o we_o need_v not_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n nor_o go_v down_o into_o the_o deep_a to_o search_v out_o the_o secret_a counsel_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n there_o need_v no_o anxious_a enquiry_n whether_o we_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n elect_v if_o we_o daily_o

the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n whosoever_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god_n let_v we_o then_o deal_v impartial_o with_o ourselves_o
