except when we have sworn to obey it, say
Saunderson, and except we are to charge our
consciences with obeying it (tho' not sworn to) says our Author
again: and then anything else beside the Will
of the maker will serve this turn. We need not
do the good the Legislator wishes for: it is enough

a necessity urgent like this could have forced examined down an absurdity so palpable & so prodigious.

I never could have stood the slightest examination.
But men will not examine, and it
is no wonder, when nothing is to be got by
examining, that trust which they are not much more sure
of by composing themselves to acquiescence.
This sort of Quiatism is the utmost form constant practise occupied of narrow and timorous and vulgar minds.
