shall_v add_v a_o great_a one_o by_o for_o ever_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o fancy_v enjoyment_n i_o shall_v add_v this_o one_o consideration_n more_o that_o christian_n as_o they_o be_v more_o

debar_v themselves_o of_o those_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n which_o other_o free_o enjoy_v thus_o shall_v the_o very_a religion_n they_o profess_v persecute_v they_o more_o than_o another_o

use_n of_o it_o they_o must_v be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n in_o the_o height_n of_o honour_n low_a in_o their_o desire_n though_o never_o so_o high_a in_o wealth_n and_o plenty_n thus_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o enjoyment_n do_v they_o scarce_o enjoy_v their_o appetite_n must_v be_v curb_v in_o the_o opportunity_n of_o its_o utmost_a indulgence_n and_o while_o good_a thing_n be_v present_v to_o their_o view_n they_o must_v not_o reach_v out_o their_o hand_n to_o they_o neither_o touch_n taste_n nor_o handle_v nor_o use_v the_o world_n but_o as_o if_o they_o use_v it_o not_o in_o which_o

some_o may_v object_v that_o although_o there_o be_v no_o god_n nor_o life_n to_o come_v yet_o there_o be_v so_o much_o satisfaction_n in_o live_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o right_a reason_n and_o virtue_n that_o even_o that_o consideration_n shall_v oblige_v man_n to_o do_v so_o and_o so_o make_v they_o most_o happy_a i_o confess_v that_o to_o live_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o right_a reason_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o humane_a nature_n and_o conduce_v to_o happiness_n in_o this_o life_n and_o that_o they_o who_o keep_v close_a to_o such_o rule_n shall_v have_v a_o considerable_a temporal_a advantage_n over_o those_o that_o break_v they_o for_o sobriety_n temperance_n meekness_n chastity_n and_o the_o like_a do_v no_o doubt_n add_v as_o well_o to_o the_o pleasure_n as_o length_n of_o man_n day_n and_o therefore_o christian_n who_o best_o observe_v and_o practice_v those_o virtue_n must_v needs_o upon_o this_o account_n enjoy_v themselves_o most_o in_o this_o world_n although_o they_o shall_v fare_v no_o better_o than_o other_o in_o the_o next_o but_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o
disobedience_n to_o he_o also_o and_o where_o be_v that_o man_n who_o if_o he_o may_v have_v but_o one_o darling_n sin_n and_o be_v suffer_v to_o enjoy_v that_o will_v not_o willing_o bate_v you_o

allow_v to_o be_v proud_a and_o another_o as_o chaste_a so_o he_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o be_v revengeful_a but_o these_o middle_a sort_n of_o people_n be_v like_a to_o get_v little_a benefit_n by_o
