enforce_v their_o practice_n 3._o that_o the_o exercise_n of_o these_o great_a moral_a virtue_n of_o godliness_n righteousness_n and_o temperance_n which_o be_v the_o eternal_a and_o unchangeable_a law_n of_o god_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n true_o noble_a and_o excellent_a be_v evident_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o common_a consent_n and_o verdict_n of_o all_o man_n conscience_n these_o virtue_n be_v the_o imitation_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o god_n and_o as_o no_o man_n be_v so_o brutish_a as_o not_o to_o admire_v the_o perfection_n of_o justice_n and_o goodness_n when_o he_o consider_v they_o abstract_o in_o god_n so_o he_o can_v but_o pay_v a_o proportionable_a respect_n to_o whatever_o he_o see_v carry_v their_o resemblance_n in_o men._n hence_o virtue_n be_v the_o most_o lovely_a and_o venerable_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o approve_v itself_o to_o the_o reason_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n hence_o vice_n become_v true_o odious_a and_o however_o it_o may_v insinuate_v itself_o into_o the_o practice_n can_v never_o recommend_v itself_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o mankind_n hence_o even_o those_o very_a person_n who_o by_o the_o prevail_a power_n of_o some_o interest_n or_o lust_n be_v themselves_o draw_v aside_o out_o of_o the_o path_n of_o virtue_n 4._o can_v yet_o forbear_v to_o give_v it_o its_o true_a character_n and_o commendation_n in_o

discourage_v they_o can_v but_o wish_v they_o be_v the_o man_n they_o be_v not_o and_o pray_v with_o balaam_n that_o though_o they_o imitate_v not_o the_o life_n yet_o at_o least_o they_o may_v die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o that_o 10._o their_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_o he_o though_o therefore_o virtuous_a man_n be_v frequent_o persecute_v in_o the_o world_n and_o sometime_o mere_o for_o their_o virtue_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o because_o virtue_n can_v ever_o be_v hate_v but_o because_o those_o from_o who_o they_o suffer_v mistake_v it_o to_o be_v what_o it_o

as_o certain_a that_o those_o from_o who_o they_o suffer_v do_v not_o persecute_v they_o because_o they_o think_v they_o religious_a but_o because_o they_o mistake_v they_o not_o to_o be_v so_o they_o do_v not_o persecute_v they_o because_o they_o think_v they_o to_o be_v worshipper_n of_o the_o true_a god_n but_o because_o they_o look_v on_o they_o as_o despiser_n of_o their_o false_a one_o they_o be_v so_o unhappy_o blind_v by_o prejudice_n and_o idolatry_n that_o they_o mistake_v religion_n for_o superstition_n and_o superstition_n for_o religion_n hence_o they_o implacable_o persecute_v that_o doctrine_n who_o evidence_n and_o conviction_n if_o they_o will_v have_v open_v their_o eye_n they_o can_v not_o have_v resist_v and_o endeavour_v to_o root_v out_o the_o true_a religion_n out_o of_o zeal_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o false_a one_o a_o eminent_a instance_n of_o the_o latter_a case_n be_v the_o condemnation_n of_o our_o saviour_n he_o be_v manifest_o innocent_a of_o
