of_o they_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o must_v sacrifice_v it_o with_o all_o those_o ornament_n which_o disguise_v it_o on_o the_o contrary_a see_v we_o will_v not_o be_v deceive_v see_v we_o

with_o joy_n and_o satisfaction_n after_o all_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o it_o we_o must_v either_o unavoidable_o perish_v together_o with_o our_o imaginary_a riches_n or_o throw_v they_o

study_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n we_o must_v know_v ourselves_o our_o greatness_n our_o weakness_n our_o perfection_n and_o inclination_n we_o must_v be_v full_o satisfy_v of_o the_o immortality_n of_o our_o be_v we_o must_v careful_o examine_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o part_n of_o which_o man_n be_v compose_v and_o the_o admirable_a law_n of_o their_o union_n from_o thence_o we_o must_v raise_v our_o mind_n to_o the_o author_n of_o these_o law_n and_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o that_o pass_v within_o ourselves_o and_o in_o the_o object_n that_o be_v about_o we_o we_o must_v contemplate_v god_n in_o those_o attribute_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o vast_a and_o boundless_a idea_n of_o a_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v and_o never_o judge_v of_o he_o with_o

necessary_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o we_o final_o we_o must_v penetrate_v into_o his_o eternal_a design_n and_o know_v at_o least_o that_o he_o be_v himself_o the_o end_n of_o his_o work_n and_o that_o the_o immutable_a order_n be_v his_o law_n then_o we_o must_v go_v back_o again_o to_o ourselves_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o order_n and_o discover_v that_o we_o be_v whole_o corrupt_v we_o must_v be_v sensible_a and_o ashamed_a of_o our_o low_a and_o unworthy_a inclination_n and_o condemn_v ourselves_o as_o guilty_a as_o enemy_n of_o our_o god_n as_o not_o engage_v in_o his_o design_n as_o not_o obey_v his_o law_n but_o the_o filthy_a law_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n we_o must_v humble_v ourselves_o and_o tremble_v before_o a_o god_n jealous_a of_o his_o glory_n and_o a_o

they_o can_v possible_o justify_v their_o extravagancy_n and_o irregularity_n in_o these_o time_n of_o reflection_n x._o if_o to_o those_o truth_n which_o reason_n discover_v when_o it_o be_v guide_v by_o faith_n we_o add_v that_o which_o reason_n by_o itself_o inform_v we_o of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o union_n of_o these_o

when_o the_o fermentation_n abate_v or_o when_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n supply_v the_o brain_n with_o spirit_n of_o a_o different_a quality_n as_o for_o a_o great_a many_o other_o
