must_v tell_v you_o when_o the_o apostle_n level_v a_o blow_n at_o they_o he_o reach_v your_o fancy_n also_o for_o he_o say_v express_o with_o the_o heart_n man_n believe_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o with_o the_o mouth_n confession_n be_v make_v to_o salvation_n phil._n o_o pardon_v i_o sir_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v call_v to_o make_v profession_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o to_o discover_v what_o religion_n he_o be_v of_o then_o to_o dissemble_v be_v to_o betray_v it_o and_o to_o be_v silent_a on_o such_o a_o critical_a occasion_n be_v to_o revolt_v and_o apostatise_v from_o it_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n i_o take_v it_o another_o apostle_n have_v require_v we_o to_o render_v to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v we_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o we_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o your_o persuasion_n but_o own_o and_o defend_v your_o religion_n at_o the_o great_a and_o most_o adverse_a tribunal_n wherever_o it_o shall_v be_v impeach_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n we_o be_v not_o now_o speak_v of_o what_o must_v be_v do_v upon_o a_o authoritative_a inquisition_n into_o our_o conscience_n or_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o common_a conversation_n and_o then_o and_o there_o i_o be_o still_o of_o opinion_n that_o at_o least_o it_o be_v not_o a_o express_a duty_n to_o talk_v of_o religion_n sebast_n nor_o do_v i_o differ_v from_o you_o therein_o for_o i_o do_v not_o assert_v it_o as_o a_o universal_a duty_n to_o make_v religion_n the_o matter_n of_o our_o discourse_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o it_o will_v exceed_o become_v we_o to_o do_v so_o sometime_o and_o i_o very_o assure_v myself_o that_o he_o that_o have_v a_o quick_a sense_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o mind_n will_v have_v savoury_a expression_n of_o he_o sometime_o upon_o ordinary_a occasion_n if_o a_o foolish_a modesty_n do_v not_o too_o much_o overcome_v he_o as_o well_o as_o witness_v a_o good_a confession_n in_o time_n of_o persecution_n for_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o passage_n i_o mention_v before_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v and_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o more_o easy_o conceivable_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a fire_n without_o any_o smoke_n or_o a_o great_a light_n without_o any_o heat_n than_o that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o be_v inward_o principled_a with_o the_o fear_n and_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v whole_o tongue-tied_a or_o be_v either_o able_a or_o willing_a altogether_o to_o stifle_v and_o suppress_v his_o sentiment_n can_v a_o man_n carry_v fire_n in_o his_o bosom_n say_v the_o wise_a man_n and_o not_o be_v burn_v such_o a_o holy_a fervour_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o will_v assure_o both_o seek_v and_o find_v a_o vent_n for_o itself_o and_o break_v out_o upon_o all_o fit_a occasion_n in_o reverend_a and_o affectionate_a expression_n by_o which_o mean_v a_o man_n in_o the_o first_o place_n ease_v his_o own_o breast_n and_o beside_o thus_o this_o holy_a fire_n not_o only_o preserve_v itself_o from_o extinction_n but_o propagate_v itself_o also_o warm_v and_o inflame_v other_o you_o have_v hear_v i_o suppose_v of_o a_o odd_a superstition_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o out_o of_o a_o pretend_a reverence_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o to_o preserve_v it_o from_o profanation_n as_o they_o suppose_v so_o long_o forbid_v the_o common_a pronunciation_n of_o it_o till_o at_o length_n by_o the_o intermission_n of_o use_v it_o they_o have_v quite_o forget_v how_o to_o pronounce_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o will_v fare_v with_o religion_n if_o man_n shall_v out_o of_o i_o know_v not_o what_o conceit_n forbear_v all_o discourse_n of_o god_n and_o another_o world_n the_o result_n will_v be_v that_o in_o time_n both_o will_v be_v forget_v persecution_n not_o be_v it_o as_o you_o seem_v to_o imagine_v only_a time_n of_o persecution_n that_o ought_v to_o rouse_v up_o our_o spirit_n and_o call_v for_o expression_n of_o our_o zeal_n for_o the_o road_n of_o business_n the_o successive_o flow_v tide_n of_o variety_n of_o entertainment_n in_o this_o world_n the_o soft_a charm_n of_o pleasant_a recreation_n the_o blandishment_n of_o continual_a prosperity_n and_o the_o rust_n upon_o our_o mind_n contract_v by_o lie_v still_o in_o ease_n and_o security_n do_v more_o endanger_v the_o state_n of_o religion_n than_o those_o try_v time_n you_o speak_v of_o and_o therefore_o atheism_n be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v a_o weed_n that_o thrive_v most_o in_o the_o best_a wether_n the_o seed_n that_o be_v sow_v upon_o stony_a ground_n fall_v away_o when_o the_o hot_a sun_n scorch_v it_o because_o it_o have_v no_o depth_n of_o earth_n but_o that_o which_o be_v sow_v among_o the_o thorn_n be_v choke_v too_o though_o the_o soil_n be_v never_o so_o good_a in_o a_o word_n stormy_a wether_n in_o the_o church_n may_v tempt_v man_n to_o be_v false_a and_o treacherous_a and_o renegado_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o never_o make_v a_o atheist_n that_o and_o profaneness_n be_v the_o ill_a fruit_n of_o prosperity_n so_o that_o you_o see_v there_o be_v need_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o piety_n shall_v exert_v itself_o as_o well_o in_o the_o one_o season_n as_o in_o the_o other_o neither_o will_v the_o public_o state_v time_n or_o form_n and_o exercise_n of_o religion_n sufficient_o secure_v it_o against_o this_o danger_n without_o such_o voluntary_a effort_n and_o fally_n of_o it_o as_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o for_o in_o regard_n god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v and_o the_o world_n be_v before_o we_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v at_o distance_n and_o the_o present_a world_n at_o hand_n ill_a example_n be_v numerous_a and_o good_a one_o few_o and_o rare_a and_o in_o a_o word_n we_o dwell_v in_o so_o cold_a a_o region_n that_o we_o have_v need_v not_o only_o to_o use_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o exercise_n but_o frequent_o to_o rub_v up_o one_o another_o therefore_o as_o socrates_n be_v say_v to_o have_v bring_v down_o philosophy_n è_fw-la coelo_fw-la in_o urbes_fw-la from_o speculation_n to_o practice_n from_o high_a notion_n to_o the_o common_a affair_n of_o life_n so_o it_o seem_v necessary_a to_o we_o not_o only_o to_o be_v religious_a at_o church_n and_o devout_a in_o our_o closet_n but_o to_o allow_v it_o a_o share_n in_o our_o daily_a and_o ordinary_a converse_n phil._n nay_o if_o you_o be_v for_o that_o what_o think_v you_o of_o a_o demure_a sort_n of_o people_n among_o we_o that_o as_o if_o their_o tongue_n be_v tip_v with_o religion_n will_v be_v always_o cant_v in_o a_o scripture-phrase_n cant_v these_o man_n seem_v to_o think_v it_o profane_a to_o speak_v intelligible_o and_o in_o the_o common_a language_n and_o account_v a_o jewish_a kind_n of_o gibberish_n to_o be_v the_o peculiar_a shibbole_fw-he of_o the_o godly_a party_n and_o some_o of_o they_o arrive_v at_o such_o a_o pitch_n either_o of_o hypocrisy_n or_o melancholy_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o pronounce_v whether_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n they_o allow_v no_o other_o discourse_n to_o be_v lawful_a but_o what_o have_v a_o tincture_n of_o religion_n now_o for_o my_o part_n i_o look_v upon_o these_o people_n as_o very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o give_v they_o countenance_n in_o what_o you_o be_v say_v sebast_n so_o far_o from_o it_o phil_n that_o i_o account_v the_o former_a of_o the_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o generation_n of_o nauseous_a pharisee_n forasmuch_o as_o nothing_o betray_v hypocrisy_n so_o much_o as_o over_n and_o by_o that_o course_n of_o they_o they_o render_v religion_n loathsome_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o tempt_v man_n to_o think_v it_o all_o trick_n and_o cheat._n and_o for_o the_o other_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o pitiable_a but_o crack-brained_a sort_n of_o man_n who_o render_v religion_n very_o uncomfortable_a to_o themselves_o and_o indeed_o impracticable_a and_o impossible_a god_n know_v we_o be_v not_o angel_n but_o man_n and_o have_v concern_v for_o the_o present_a world_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o other_o and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v no_o fault_n but_o a_o just_a duty_n to_o take_v care_n of_o they_o and_o in_o order_n thereto_o to_o deliberate_v to_o take_v advice_n and_o to_o discourse_v about_o they_o and_o this_o i_o be_o so_o confident_a of_o that_o i_o very_o believe_v the_o apostle_n when_o he_o forbid_v that_o any_o corrupt_a communication_n shall_v proceed_v out_o of_o our_o mouth_n and_o enjoin_v that_o it_o be_v such_o as_o be_v good_a to_o the_o use_n of_o edify_v intend_v we_o shall_v interpret_v the_o latter_a expression_n
