they_o have_v god_n in_o set_v forth_o heaven_n and_o hell_n so_o lively_a lay_v bait_n to_o catch_v we_o and_o to_o allure_v we_o to_o sin_n and_o why_o then_o do_v scripture_n in_o so_o many_o

also_o to_o give_v alm_n in_o hope_n of_o heaven_n as_o david_n incline_v his_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n for_o reward_n and_o retribution_n 118._o psal_n 118._o they_o answer_n that_o we_o

why_o may_v i_o not_o abstain_v from_o sin_n or_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o fearre_n of_o hell_n they_o say_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o fullfil_v the_o law_n for_o fear_n of_o hell_n will_v sin_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n if_o hell_n be_v not_o be_v it_o so_o yet_o this_o arguethe_v fear_n to_o be_v good_a rather_o than_o evil_a because_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n why_o we_o

the_o commandment_n if_o hope_v of_o heaven_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n be_v not_o yet_o that_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o there_o in_o they_o sin_n if_o they_o have_v no_o presentil_a affection_n
