to_o any_o when_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o regard_v reason_n 2_o second_o that_o he_o may_v reduce_v his_o servant_n from_o run_v on_o headlong_o with_o the_o wicked_a to_o perdition_n for_o be_v we_o altogether_o exempt_v from_o the_o rod_n how_o wanton_a and_o froward_a will_v we_o grow_v and_o into_o how_o many_o peril_n will_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o and_o so_o say_v saint_n paul_n 11.32_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 11.32_o when_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n object_n object_n but_o do_v not_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o his_o church_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n for_o their_o redemption_n be_v not_o their_o sin_n punish_v in_o he_o how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v they_o be_v still_o subject_a to_o god_n heavy_a u●sitations_n resp._n resp._n true_a it_o be_v that_o christ_n do_v bear_v away_o all_o our_o punishment_n but_o he_o have_v not_o free_v we_o from_o fatherly_a correction_n now_o when_o god_n afflict_v he_o in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v more_o for_o medicine_n than_o for_o punishment_n more_o for_o a_o correction_n than_o for_o a_o penalty_n loss_n cross_n
