first_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v have_v a_o religion_n second_o we_o must_v be_v of_o that_o religion_n which_o do_v most_o approve_v itself_o unto_o god_n three_o ●his_fw-la religion_n

may_v be_v sure_a of_o this_o that_o god_n will_v not_o learn_v we_o to_o know_v religion_n if_o he_o do_v not_o withal_o require_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v of_o it_o in_o that_o therefore_o he_o mark_v it_o out_o he_o do_v imply_v that_o we_o must_v have_v it_o to_o profess_v and_o cleave_v unto_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n and_o to_o try_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o by_o these_o note_n which_o god_n offer_v to_o press_v then_o the_o have_v of_o a_o religion_n unto_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v three_o ground_n first_o religion_n be_v that_o which_o assure_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v right_a in_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n christ_n member_n and_o god_n child_n who_o may_v expect_v maintenance_n from_o he_o who_o have_v right_a in_o a_o king_n but_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v unto_o he_o by_o subjection_n and_o loyalty_n so_o none_o but_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v unto_o god_n by_o religion_n can_v say_v that_o they_o have_v either_o right_n in_o god_n or_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n he_o that_o be_v without_o god_n and_o without_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v without_o religion_n be_v a_o alien_n

mother_n of_o all_o divine_a virtue_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o god_n religion_n say_v james_n here_o will_v make_v we_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o preserve_v ourselves_o 1.7_o

of_o shadrach_n 3._o dan._n 3._o mesach_n and_o abednego_n make_v they_o to_o refuse_v to_o bow_v to_o that_o accurse_a idol_n and_o the_o religion_n of_o joseph_n preserve_v he_o from_o unchastitie_n

in_o god_n stead_n to_o take_v vengeance_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n or_o be_o not_o i_o under_o god_n both_o which_o speech_n do_v manifest_v his_o religion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v forth_o this_o his_o virtuous_a carriage_n three_o where_o there_o be_v no_o religion_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o licentiousness_n and_o disorder_n all_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n who_o go_v shroud_v under_o the_o religious_a title_n of_o christian_n be_v practise_v by_o they_o for_o want_n of_o religion_n so_o profess_a atheist_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o at_o all_o time_n do_v commit_v all_o their_o outrage_n for_o want_n of_o religion_n and_o for_o want_v of_o religion_n be_v it_o also_o that_o they_o who_o profess_v they_o know_v god_n but_o by_o work_n deny_v he_o 1.16_o tit._n 1.16_o be_v abominable_a
and_o disobedient_a and_o unto_o every_o good_a work_n reprobate_a as_o without_o a_o counterfeit_a religion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o civil_a virtue_n in_o which_o respect_n they_o who_o know_v not_o the_o true_a god_n will_v still_o feign_v a_o religion_n to_o restrain_v nature_n so_o without_o the_o true_a religion_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o colour_a virtue_n or_o outrageous_a vice_n in_o the_o old_a world_n religion_n be_v corrupt_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v great_a in_o the_o earth_n 6.5_o gen._n 6.5_o abraham_n see_v that_o in_o the_o court_n of_o abimelech_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o be_v 20.11_o gen._n 20.11_o no_o true_a religion_n and_o therefore_o he_o think_v just_o that_o they_o will_v slay_v he_o for_o his_o wife_n sake_n the_o gentile_n turn_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o incorruptible_a god_n &c_n ro._n 1.23_o 24_o &c_n &c_n to_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o image_n of_o a_o corruptible_a man_n and_o of_o bird_n and_o fourfooted_a beast_n and_o creep_a thing_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o wonder_v though_o they_o be_v give_v up_o in_o their_o heart_n lust_n to_o uncleanness_n and_o to_o other_o abominable_a and_o hateful_a wickedness_n see_v therefore_o that_o religion_n do_v assure_v our_o heart_n of_o our_o right_n in_o christ_n do_v breed_v virtue_n and_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o it_o do_v leave_v a_o fearful_a gap_n for_o all_o impiety_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o religion_n ob._n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o press_v this_o because_o all_o of_o we_o have_v a_o religion_n already_o sol._n i_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o there_o be_v many_o &_o too_o many_o in_o all_o

though_o i_o have_v not_o find_v it_o yet_o it_o have_v find_v i_o and_o i_o know_v none_o other_o and_o yet_o they_o can_v tell_v what_o religion_n mean_v to_o conceive_v the_o truth_n of_o which_o point_n take_v but_o two_o meditation_n concern_v religion_n first_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o sweet_a violence_n offer_v unto_o their_o nature_n &_o be_v draw_v with_o he_o into_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o god_n sight_n you_o know_v that_o according_a to_o that_o whereunto_o we_o be_v tie_v we_o be_v carry_v and_o sway_v from_o this_o to_o that_o if_o we_o be_v link_v to_o wicked_a man_n we_o be_v draw_v to_o consent_v unto_o they_o if_o unto_o good_a man_n we_o will_v follow_v they_o see_v therefore_o that_o according_a to_o our_o natural_a motion_n by_o which_o we_o be_v carry_v downward_o to_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a 3.15_o jam._n 3.15_o and_o devilish_a we_o see_v too_o many_o man_n to_o cleave_v unto_o vain_a vanity_n &_o so_o to_o forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n yea_o see_v we_o see_v a_o world_n of_o man_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n as_o it_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o dregs_n of_o impiety_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o god_n by_o religion_n who_o will_v pull_v they_o another_o way_n second_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n will_v with_o careful_a heart_n pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v never_o cut_v the_o cord_n asunder_o nor_o ever_o let_v go_v his_o hold_n but_o that_o he_o will_v ever_o go_v with_o they_o &_o support_v they_o from_o fall_v into_o any_o misery_n we_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o our_o danger_n when_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o the_o world_n &_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o find_v a_o better_a and_o more_o comfortable_a band_n we_o will_v desire_v it_o may_v never_o be_v crack_v as_o he_o that_o hang_v by_o a_o rope_n from_o a_o high_a tower_n or_o over_o a_o well_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o he_o that_o hold_v it_o will_v cry_v to_o he_o and_o entreat_v he_o earnest_o to_o hold_v fast_o so_o they_o who_o be_v unite_v unto_o god_n by_o religion_n and_o see_v their_o danger_n if_o he_o let_v go_v will_v never_o give_v over_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o will_v be_v entreat_v for_o ever_o to_o take_v such_o hold_n of_o they_o that_o they_o may_v with_o cornelius_n be_v devout_a man_n 10.2_o act._n 10.2_o and_o religious_a 50._o act._n 13.43_o 50._o as_o those_o proselyte_n &_o honourable_a woman_n be_v call_v see_v therefore_o that_o this_o heavenly_a duty_n of_o

and_o voluble_a tongue_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o many_o and_o many_o be_v not_o knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n second_o consider_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o many_o do_v not_o proceed_v
