A13103	A motiue to good workes Or rather, to true Christianitie indeede. Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

wilful_o blind_a the_o great_a love_n and_o holy_a reverence_n the_o great_a obedience_n &_o dutiful_a alleageaunce_n which_o these_o holy_a angel_n do_v bear_v towards_o their_o god_n how_o ready_a

the_o fact_n where_o you_o see_v he_o make_v a_o evil_a thought_n or_o conceit_n of_o the_o hart_n equivalent_a with_o the_o deed_n before_o god_n again_o our_o saviour_n christ_n reckon_v up_o a_o

from_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n suggest_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o but_o every_o evil_a thought_n be_v damnable_a and_o proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o stink_a pump_n of_o man_n corrupt_a and_o canker_a nature_n let_v we_o therefore_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o sanctify_v our_o thought_n and_o to_o rectify_v our_o secret_a cogitation_n that_o we_o may_v meditate_v and_o think_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o may_v please_v he_o and_o by_o his_o holy_a grace_n may_v manful_o put_v the_o same_o in_o practice_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n and_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o other_o of_o his_o creature_n you_o will_v think_v it_o strange_a if_o i_o can_v prove_v that_o even_o the_o very_a devil_n themselves_o do_v fear_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n more_o than_o man_n at_z lest_z more_o than_o some_o man_n yea_o and_o be_v more_o obedient_a dutiful_a and_o press_v to_o do_v his_o will_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v most_o true_a they_o be_v so_o for_o we_o read_v in_o the_o sacred_a history_n that_o the_o devil_n do_v tremble_v and_o quake_v at_o the_o very_a name_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v and_o ever_o have_v be_v ready_a at_o hand_n to_o execute_v the_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n yet_o i_o must_v needs_o grant_v in_o deed_n that_o this_o their_o fear_n be_v a_o servile_a and_o slavish_a fear_n and_o this_o their_o obedience_n be_v a_o force_a and_o co-act_a obedience_n and_o not_o voluntary_a nor_o proceed_v of_o love_n nor_o good_a will_n but_o rather_o of_o fear_n and_o constraint_n but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v yet_o far_o better_a than_o the_o fear_n and_o obedience_n of_o some_o miscreant_n towards_o god_n who_o will_v never_o be_v draw_v neither_o by_o love_n fear_v nor_o scarce_a constraint_n if_o they_o can_v otherwise_o choose_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n and_o execute_n of_o his_o will_n nay_o there_o be_v some_o so_o indurate_a and_o so_o freeze_v in_o the_o dregs_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o neither_o fear_n of_o hell_n nor_o love_n of_o heaven_n can_v once_o move_v they_o to_o leave_v their_o sin_n be_v of_o this_o resolution_n in_o deed_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o god_n nor_o devil_n heaven_n nor_o hell_n no_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n nor_o any_o life_n after_o this_o if_o these_o be_v not_o their_o persuasion_n they_o will_v never_o live_v as_o they_o do_v worse_a than_o the_o devil_n themselves_o who_o fear_n &_o tremble_v at_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n but_o they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o tremble_v at_o he_o that_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o reward_v virtue_n nor_o devil_n to_o punish_v sin_n after_o this_o life_n and_o therefore_o may_v i_o conclude_v that_o such_o atheist_n
