justice_n that_o he_o shall_v endure_v eternal_a punishment_n a_o three_o answer_n be_v that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o a_o time_n because_o he_o suffer_v to_o satisfy_v and_o so_o to_o overcome_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o triumph_v meritorious_o over_o principality_n and_o power_n therefore_o his_o suffering_n can_v not_o continue_v for_o ever_o but_o must_v have_v a_o end_n for_o in_o

eternal_a death_n the_o four_o answer_n be_v more_o full_a and_o free_a from_o exception_n that_o christ_n suffer_v but_o for_o a_o time_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v be_v hold_v
