in_o a_o way_n of_o justice_n which_o they_o be_v to_o satisfy_v in_o respect_n of_o temporal_a punishment_n by_o some_o voluntary_a penalty_n either_o inflict_v upon_o they_o or_o voluntary_o

christ_n blood_n take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o man_n penal_a exercise_n must_v take_v away_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n thus_o by_o their_o distinction_n they_o do_v great_o

bellarmine_n urge_v my_o text_n to_o judge_v ourselves_o which_o he_o will_v have_v to_o imply_v such_o voluntary_a punish_v of_o ourselves_o through_o fast_v and_o other_o duty_n that_o thereby_o
