If a man might go to reason,1 one might bring that which could not be easily answered for the satisfaction of an Atheist. Let him but grant there is a God, he will grant one thing in Religion or another. But let him grant there is a God and a Reasonable Creature, then there must be a service, a Religion; and this service must be according to some Rules prescribed; for the superior will not be served as the inferior pleaseth: he must discover what good the superior intendeth, and what duties he expects: this must be revealed in some word; God and the Reasonable Creature, and Religion, make a necessity of a word, and that must be the word we have, or another; and what word in the world is probable to be the word but this?
