for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o do_v but_o little_a influence_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n who_o be_v incline_v unto_o their_o transgression_n 1_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n declare_v be_v such_o as_o man_n think_v they_o do_v just_o prefer_v their_o own_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n before_o they_o it_o be_v so_o will_v all_o

and_o evil_a man_n will_v do_v so_o with_o respect_n unto_o the_o high_a temporal_a punishment_n when_o they_o be_v greedy_o set_v on_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o lusts._n hence_o i_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v so_o little_o influence_v with_o those_o reward_n and_o punishment_n that_o be_v annex_v unto_o humane_a law_n and_o 2_o dly_a a_o secret_a apprehension_n that_o the_o commander_n or_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n neither_o will_v nor_o be_v able_a to_o execute_v those_o penalty_n in_o the_o case_n of_o their_o transgression_n evacuate_v all_o the_o force_n of_o they_o much_o they_o ascribe_v to_o their_o negligence_n that_o they_o will_v not_o take_v care_n to_o see_v the_o sanction_n of_o their_o law_n execute_v more_o to_o their_o ignorance_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o their_o transgression_n and_o somewhat_o in_o sundry_a case_n to_o their_o power_n that_o they_o can_v punish_v nor_o reward_n though_o they_o will_v and_o for_o these_o reason_n be_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n little_o influence_v by_o humane_a law_n beyond_o their_o own_o honest_a inclination_n and_o interest_n but_o thing_n be_v quite_o otherwise_o with_o respect_n unto_o the_o law_n and_o command_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n call_v by_o the_o apostle_n kill_v and_o keep_v alive_a be_v eternal_a in_o the_o high_a capacity_n of_o blessedness_n or_o misery_n can_v be_v balance_v by_o any_o consideration_n of_o this_o present_a world_n without_o the_o high_a
