it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o consider_v and_o see_v how_o god_n proportion_v punishment_n to_o sin_n in_o kind_a quantity_n quality_n time_n place_n and_o other_o circumstance_n in_o kind_a he_o shall_v eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o way_n that_o be_v he_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o kind_n it_o be_v a_o similitude_n from_o a_o tree_n every_o tree_n bring_v forth_o according_a to_o its_o own_o kind_a if_o it_o be_v a_o appletree_n it_o bring_v forth_o apple_n if_o a_o crabtree_n crab_n a_o pear-tree_n pear_n so_o every_o sinner_n shall_v be_v punish_v in_o their_o kind_n a_o minister_n shall_v be_v punish_v in_o his_o kind_n wicked_a master_n in_o their_o kind_n servant_n in_o they_o rich_a in_o they_o poor_a in_o they_o if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o drunkard_n he_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o one_o kind_n if_o he_o be_v a_o adulterer_n in_o another_o every_o man_n shall_v eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o way_n every_o sin_n bring_v a_o homogeneal_a punishment_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o i_o can_v stand_v to_o follow_v this_o though_o it_o he_o very_o clear_a in_o scripture_n second_o it_o be_v in_o quantity_n god_n proportion_v the_o punishment_n according_a to_o the_o sin_n he_o that_o sow_n spare_o shall_v reap_v spare_o but_o he_o that_o sow_n bountiful_o shall_v reap_v bountiful_o little_a sin_n little_a punishment_n and_o great_a sin_n great_a punishment_n there_o be_v little_a sin_n moat_n sin_n gnat_n sin_n and_o there_o be_v camel_n sin_n so_o there_o be_v little_a and_o great_a punishment_n some_o meet_v with_o many_o some_o with_o few_o stripe_n just_o according_a to_o a_o man_n sin_n so_o the_o lord_n shape_v out_o the_o punishment_n for_o great_a sinner_n great_a plague_n and_o for_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o own_o measure_n god_n have_v a_o pair_n of_o balance_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o weigh_v man_n in_o as_o he_o weigh_v belshazzar_n so_o he_o will_v weigh_v thou_o and_o look_v how_o much_o sin_n thou_o put_v in_o one_o scale_n so_o much_o punishment_n god_n will_v put_v in_o the_o other_o he_o will_v not_o abate_v thou_o one_o oath_n not_o one_o idle_a thought_n not_o one_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n not_o one_o neglect_n of_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o of_o other_o duty_n the_o lord_n will_v put_v wrath_n in_o one_o balance_n as_o thou_o put_v sin_n in_o the_o other_o he_o will_v make_v the_o scale_n even_o to_o a_o hair_n as_o he_o deal_v with_o belshazzar_n he_o will_v lay_v righteousness_n to_o the_o line_n and_o judgement_n to_o the_o plummet_n and_o weigh_v thou_o out_o in_o the_o scale_n and_o thou_o shall_v have_v just_a according_a to_o thy_o sin_n as_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o his_o own_o people_n he_o will_v not_o abate_v so_o much_o as_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v reward_v he_o will_v reward_v all_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o so_o he_o will_v deal_v with_o the_o wicked_a there_o shall_v no_o sin_n pass_v unpunished_a again_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n in_o the_o quality_n if_o adam_n sin_n in_o eat_v he_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o eat_v if_o the_o woman_n of_o judah_n sin_n in_o apparel_n they_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o apparel_n isa_n 3._o 24._o in_o wis_v 11._o 16._o a_o man_n shall_v be_v punish_v in_o that_o that_o he_o sin_n in_o if_o absalon_n sin_n in_o his_o hair_n he_o

in_o a_o whole_a parish_n upon_o his_o sick_a bed_n then_o oh_o how_o will_v he_o call_v upon_o god_n then_o send_v for_o the_o minister_n let_v he_o pray_v for_o i_o read_v a_o chapter_n or_o some_o

to_o curry_v favour_n with_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o sickness_n cross_n plagus_n and_o death_n and_o curse_n upon_o he_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v this_o he_o will_v dissemble_v some_o service_n to_o god_n three_o to_o smother_v and_o choke_v their_o own_o conscience_n their_o heart_n think_v and_o tell_v they_o they_o must_v think_v of_o god_n their_o

and_o vengeance_n donounce_v by_o the_o prophet_n will_v come_v upon_o they_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n by_o he_o prophet_n exhort_v say_v arise_v you_o and_o depart_v for_o this_o be_v

and_o fall_v as_o it_o be_v by_o chance_n upon_o holy_a thing_n away_o away_o say_v god_n this_o be_v nor_o your_o rest_n aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o be_v of_o a_o thing_n consist_v in_o the_o
