           not
           an
           inherent
           native
           principle
           ,
           and
           a
           habitude
           of
           mans
           minde
           in
           Innocency

           and
           if
           that
           be
           granted
           ,
           whether
           the
           Doctor
           can
           make
           it
           appear
           (
           by
           a
           parity
           of
           reason

           that
           the
           desire
           and
           love
           of
           servitude
           and
           slavery
           was
           as
           true
           and
           innate
           a
           habit
           of
           a
           sinless
           and
           untainted
           soul
           ,
           which
           if
           he
           denies
           ,
           I
           have
           my
           end
           ;
           but
           if
           he
           affirms
           ,
           then
           he
           must
           necessarily
           argue
           ,
           That
           because
           desire
           of
           Liberty
           was
           then
           a
           congenial
           principle
           ,
           therefore
           a
           desire
           of
           servitude
           was
           a
           habit
           equally
           inbred
           in
           Nature
           ,
           what
           degree
           of
           likeness
           there
           is
           between
           these
           two
           of
           Liberty
           and
           Servitude
           (
           I
           know
           not
           )
           unless
           what
           is
           very
           neer
           between
           two
           contraries
           ,
           there
           is
           too
           great
           a
           disparity
           beween
           them
           ,
           that
           the
           Doctor
           should
           have
           so
           plausible
           and
           colourable
           an
           Argument
           here
           ,
           as
           he
           that
           said
           Wooll
           and
           Snow
           are
           both
           white
           ,
           and
           therefore
           they
           are
           equally
           warm
           ,
           but
           let
           this
           pass
           ,
           it
           is
           but
           a
           Royal
           stride
           of
           a
           well
           affected
           
             Levite

           of
           the
           
           ear
           was
           a
           punishment
           of
           the
           contempt
           of
           that

           he
           had

           might
           have
           lawfully
           kept
           without
           sin

           that
           slavery
           is
           an
           effect
           of
           sin

           is
           not
           doubted
           by
           very
           rational
           men

           had
           there
           been
           no

           doubtless
           there
           had
           been
           no
           slavery

           boaring
           of
           the
           ear
           was
           an
           
             ordinary

           of

           we

             choose

           before
           his
           freedome

           therefore
           he
           had
           no
           refuge
           or
           relief
           from

           so
           ,
           and
           then
           he
           throwes
           a
           little
           dirt

           But
           I
           must
           tell
           this
           Doctor
           ,
           that
           this
           
             voluntary

           an
           irreversible
           condition
           ,
           if
           it
           may
           be
           called

           for
           (
           as
           I
           take
           it

           this

           his
           master
           ;
           and
           I
           conceive
           that
           there
           was
           duty
           and
           necessity
           that
           did
           call
           upon
           him
           to
           cohabite
           with
           his
           wife
           ,
           which
           was
           a
           greater
           bent
           upon
           his
           will
           ,
           then
           his
           love
           to
           his
           Master
           ,
           to
           serve
           him
           till
           
           they
           were
           also
           free

           It
           seemes
           to
           me
           a
           strange
           thing

           you

           I

           any

           almost
           judge
           of

           in
           his
           heart
           there
           is
           Royalty

           onely
           to
           that
           Interest
           ,
           though
           with
           the
           pen
           of
           an
           Artizan

           face
           of
           Religion
           ,
           and
           would
           be
           thought
           to
           be
           Indenizened
           her
           subject
           .
           I
           seriously
           think
           that
           Story
           of
           the
           Batt
           is
           most
           apposite
           to
           this
           man
           ;
           The
           Batt
           when
           he
           came
           among
           the
           birds
           ;
           they
           would
           not
           own
           him
           ,
           because
           he
           had
           feet
           and
           teeth
           like
           a
           beast
           ,
           and
           when
           he
           would
           be
           entertained
           among
           the
           beasts
           ,
           they
           would
           not
           own
           him
           ,
           because
           he
           had
           wings
           like
           a
           bird
           .
           It
           hath
           been
           the
           unhappy
           priviledge
           of
           this
           mans
           parts
           ,
           not
           so
           much
           to
           act
           ,
           as
           to
           teach
           disobedience
           to
           the
           present
           Authoririty
           and
           Powers
           ,
           and
           therefore
           I
           think
           that
           each
           fault
           in
           him
           (
           and
           such
           as
           he
           is
           )
           is
           not
           so
           much
           a
           Crime
           ,
           as
           a
           
             Rule
          
           of
           error
           ,
           and
           a
           president
           to
           do
           evil
           .
           I
           shall
           now
           take
           my
           leave
           of
           thee
           (
           Reader

           )
           and
           with
           a
           word
           touching
           present
           
             Powers
             ,

           the
