true_a end_n of_o worship_n come_v within_o another_o consideration_n which_o be_v this_o a_o man_n be_v never_o entire_o reform_v till_o a_o new_a principle_n govern_v his_o thought_n nothing_o make_v that_o principle_n so_o strong_a as_o deep_a and_o frequent_a meditation_n of_o god_n who_o nature_n though_o it_o be_v far_o above_o our_o comprehension_n yet_o his_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n be_v such_o perfection_n as_o fall_v within_o our_o imagination_n and_o he_o that_o think_v often_o of_o god_n and_o consider_v he_o as_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o as_o ever_o observe_v all_o his_o action_n will_v feel_v a_o very_a sensible_a effect_n of_o such_o meditation_n as_o they_o grow_v more_o lively_a and_o frequent_a with_o he_o so_o the_o end_n of_o religious_a worship_n either_o public_a or_o private_a be_v to_o make_v the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n have_v a_o deep_a root_n and_o a_o strong_a influence_n on_o we_o the_o frequent_a return_n of_o these_o be_v necessary_a lest_o if_o we_o allow_v of_o too_o long_a interval_n between_o they_o these_o impression_n may_v grow_v feeble_a and_o other_o suggestion_n may_v come_v in_o their_o room_n and_o the_o return_v of_o prayer_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o favour_n extort_a by_o mere_a importunity_n but_o as_o reward_n confer_v on_o man_n so_o well_o dispose_v and_o prepare_v for_o they_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v for_o answer_v our_o prayer_n thereby_o to_o engage_v and_o nourish_v a_o devout_a temper_n in_o we_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a root_n of_o all_o true_a holiness_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v true_a we_o can_v have_v suitable_a notion_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o indeed_o we_o have_v no_o just_a idea_n of_o any_o essence_n whatsoever_o since_o we_o common_o consider_v all_o thing_n either_o by_o their_o outward_a figure_n or_o by_o their_o effect_n and_o from_o thence_o make_v inference_n what_o their_o nature_n must_v be_v so_o though_o we_o can_v frame_v any_o perfect_a image_n in_o our_o mind_n of_o the_o divinity_n yet_o we_o may_v from_o the_o discovery_n god_n have_v make_v of_o himself_o form_n such_o conception_n of_o he_o as_o may_v possess_v our_o mind_n with_o great_a reverence_n for_o he_o and_o beget_v in_o we_o such_o a_o love_n of_o those_o perfection_n as_o to_o engage_v we_o to_o imitate_v they_o for_o when_o we_o say_v we_o love_v god_n the_o meaning_n be_v we_o love_v that_o be_v that_o be_v holy_a just_a good_a wise_a and_o infinite_o perfect_a and_o love_v these_o attribute_n in_o that_o object_n will_v certain_o carry_v we_o to_o desire_v they_o in_o ourselves_o for_o what_o ever_o we_o love_v in_o another_o we_o natural_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o our_o love_n endeavour_v to_o resemble_v it_o in_o sum_n the_o love_a and_o worship_v god_n though_o they_o be_v just_a and_o reasonable_a return_n and_o expression_n of_o the_o sense_n we_o have_v of_o his_o goodness_n to_o we_o yet_o they_o be_v exact_v of_o we_o not_o only_o as_o a_o tribute_n to_o god_n but_o as_o a_o mean_a to_o beget_v in_o we_o a_o conformity_n to_o his_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a religion_n if_o some_o man_n have_v at_o several_a time_n find_v out_o invention_n to_o corrupt_v this_o and_o cheat_v the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o occur_v in_o every_o sort_n of_o employment_n to_o which_o man_n betake_v themselves_o mountebank_n corrupt_a physic_n pettifoggers_a have_v entangle_v the_o matter_n of_o property_n and_o all_o profession_n

of_o god_n be_v much_o in_o man_n mind_n will_v be_v a_o powerful_a mean_n to_o reform_v the_o world_n and_o do_v not_o seem_v determine_v against_o providence_n but_o for_o the_o next_o state_n he_o think_v it_o more_o likely_a that_o the_o soul_n begin_v anew_o and_o that_o her_o sense_n of_o what_o she_o have_v do_v in_o this_o body_n lie_v in_o the_o figure_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o

this_o be_v at_o best_a a_o conjecture_n raise_v in_o he_o by_o his_o fancy_n for_o he_o can_v give_v no_o reason_n to_o prove_v it_o true_a nor_o be_v all_o the_o remembrance_n our_o soul_n have_v of_o past_a thing_n seat_v in_o some_o material_a figure_n lodge_v in_o the_o brain_n though_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o it_o lay_v in_o the_o brain_n that_o we_o have_v many_o abstract_a notion_n and_o idea_n of_o immaterial_a thing_n which_o depend_v not_o on_o bodily_a figure_n some_o sin_n such_o as_o falsehood_n and_o ill_a nature_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o mind_n as_o lust_n and_o appetite_n be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o as_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v the_o receptacle_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o eye_n and_o ear_n be_v the_o organ_n of_o see_v and_o hear_v so_o be_v the_o brain_n the_o seat_n of_o memory_n yet_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o memory_n as_o well_o as_o of_o see_v and_o hear_v lay_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o unconceivable_a thing_n that_o either_o the_o soul_n by_o its_o own_o strength_n or_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o some_o subtle_a organ_n which_o may_v be_v fit_v for_o it_o in_o another_o state_n shall_v still_o remember_v as_o well_o as_o think_v but_o indeed_o we_o know_v so_o little_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o raise_v a_o hypothesis_n out_o of_o the_o conjecture_n we_o have_v about_o it_o or_o to_o reject_v one_o because_o of_o some_o difficulty_n that_o occur_v to_o we_o since_o it_o be_v as_o hard_a to_o understand_v how_o we_o remember_v thing_n now_o as_o how_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o in_o another_o state_n only_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o do_v it_o now_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o when_o we_o do_v it_o when_o i_o press_v he_o with_o the_o secret_a joy_n that_o a_o good_a man_n feel_v particular_o as_o he_o draw_v near_o death_n and_o the_o horror_n of_o ill_a man_n especial_o at_o that_o time_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o ascribe_v it_o to_o the_o impression_n they_o have_v from_o their_o education_n but_o he_o often_o confess_v that_o whether_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n be_v true_a or_o not_o he_o think_v those_o who_o have_v the_o persuasion_n of_o it_o and_o live_v so_o that_o they_o have_v quiet_a in_o their_o conscience_n and_o believe_v god_n govern_v the_o world_n and_o acquiesce_v in_o his_o providence_n and_o have_v the_o hope_n of_o a_o endless_a blessedness_n in_o another_o state_n the_o happy_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o say_v he_o will_v give_v all_o that_o he_o be_v master_n of_o to_o be_v under_o those_o persuasion_n and_o to_o have_v the_o support_v and_o joy_n that_o must_v needs_o flow_v from_o they_o i_o tell_v he_o the_o main_a root_n of_o all_o corruption_n in_o man_n principle_n be_v their_o ill_a life_n which_o as_o it_o darken_v their_o mind_n and_o disable_v they_o from_o discern_v better_a thing_n so_o it_o make_v it_o necessary_a for_o they_o to_o seek_v out_o such_o opinion_n as_o may_v give_v they_o ease_v from_o those_o clamour_n that_o will_v otherwise_o have_v be_v raise_v within_o they_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o after_o the_o do_v of_o some_o thing_n he_o feel_v great_a and_o severe_a challenge_n within_o himself_o but_o he_o say_v he_o feel_v not_o these_o after_o some_o other_o which_o i_o will_v perhaps_o call_v far_o great_a sin_n than_o those_o that_o affect_v he_o more_o sensible_o this_o i_o say_v may_v flow_v from_o the_o disorder_n he_o have_v cast_v himself_o into_o which_o have_v corrupt_v his_o judgement_n and_o vitiate_v his_o taste_n of_o thing_n and_o by_o his_o long_a continuance_n in_o and_o frequent_a repeat_v of_o some_o immorality_n he_o have_v make_v they_o so_o familiar_a
