further_a degree_n for_o all_o this_o and_o there_o be_v these_o two_o reason_n for_o it_o the_o first_o be_v because_o the_o wicked_a not_o only_o sin_n in_o soul_n but_o in_o body_n too_o the_o body_n have_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o sin_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v serve_v the_o turn_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v punish_v and_o the_o body_n lie_v in_o the_o grave_n no_o but_o those_o that_o have_v join_v in_o sin_n must_v also_o join_v in_o punishment_n second_o howsoever_o the_o sinful_a action_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v transcient_a and_o seem_v to_o die_v with_o they_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o contagion_n and_o evil_a effect_n these_o action_n work_v upon_o other_o and_o upon_o posterity_n bp_v the_o ill_a example_n of_o their_o predecessor_n the_o action_n i_o say_v of_o those_o wicked_a man_n continue_v to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n thus_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o jew_n in_o jerem._n 44._o revive_a the_o sin_n of_o their_o father_n our_o father_n say_v they_o make_v cake_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o will_v we_o so_o the_o succeed_a king_n of_o israel_n that_o go_v on_o in_o the_o step_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la who_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n they_o continue_v the_o sin_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la as_o long_o as_o man_n go_v on_o in_o the_o step_n and_o sin_n of_o their_o forefather_n the_o sin_n of_o their_o forefather_n live_v so_o that_o some_o man_n sin_n by_o a_o continue_a imitation_n be_v perpetuate_v to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o their_o must_v be_v a_o judgement_n then_o that_o may_v fill_v up_o a_o measure_n proportionable_a to_o their_o sin_n this_o be_v that_o that_o dive_v fear_v in_o hell_n and_o that_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o as_o he_o do_v that_o one_o may_v go_v and_o tell_v his_o brother_n upon_o earth_n that_o they_o may_v not_o come_v into_o that_o place_n why_o will_v he_o have_v they_o tell_v his_o brethren_n be_v there_o such_o love_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o hell_n that_o dives_n will_v have_v his_o brethren_n convert_v no_o such_o matter_n be_v it_o love_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o brethren_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o damn_v no_o such_o matter_n neither_o what_o then_o certain_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o guilt_n he_o know_v what_o evil_a example_n he_o have_v give_v and_o what_o a_o counsellor_n he_o have_v be_v to_o his_o brethren_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v go_v on_o in_o his_o step_n and_o their_o child_n follow_v the_o same_o step_n all_o this_o will_v but_o add_v to_o his_o punishment_n and_o torment_v in_o the_o great_a day_n when_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v be_v join_v together_o to_o make_v up_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o their_o torment_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o say_v it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o their_o shall_v be_v a_o judgement_n after_o this_o life_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o second_o thing_n remain_v

proceed_v by_o way_n of_o a_o judge_n but_o he_o say_v come_v give_v a_o account_n of_o thy_o stewardship_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v four_o thing_n imply_v in_o this_o all_o show_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n proceed_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n with_o his_o steward_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v like_o the_o proeeding_n of_o a_o master_n with_o his_o servant_n in_o a_o account_n and_o
