After reading the first two books of Locke, I feel that he bases alot of things on God. I feel that he is not as clear as Descartes. Througout the books I would pick up on key lines such as "I must therefore beg a little truce with prejudice and forbearance of censure till I have been heard out in the sequel of this discourse, being very willing to submit to better judgements."
In the beginning of the quote I feel he is talking about life on Earth and how there are problems and that no one is truely clean of sin. When he moves on and says "the sequel of this discourse" I feel that he is talking about Heaven or an after live (the second part of this life). And at the end I feel when he says he is very willing to submit to better judgements I feel that the better judgements will come from God, or better judgements is the actual God.

I also feel like he talks about God a lot throughout his first two books. He talks about how God has given us certain ideas and tools to use in life and it is up to us to make the better judgements.
