administration_n of_o they_o the_o best_a man_n now_o be_v oftentimes_o the_o most_o unfortunate_a and_o the_o most_o profligate_v miscreant_n the_o most_o happy_a in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n either_o therefore_o we_o must_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n altogether_o or_o that_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v by_o he_o or_o we_o must_v say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o just_a and_o good_a and_o therefore_o mind_v not_o what_o become_v of_o those_o that_o be_v so_o which_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o say_v he_o be_v not_o god_n or_o else_o that_o he_o be_v impotent_a and_o ignorant_a either_o do_v not_o know_v how_o thing_n pass_v here_o below_o or_o though_o he_o do_v know_v yet_o be_v not_o able_a to_o redress_v they_o and_o this_o again_o destroy_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o a_o god_n which_o include_v a_o infinite_a perfection_n in_o power_n and_o knowledge_n no_o less_o than_o in_o goodness_n and_o justice_n or_o last_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o god_n do_v take_v care_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o man_n and_o be_v good_a and_o just_a and_o have_v such_o a_o knowledge_n and_o power_n as_o we_o say_v he_o have_v than_o it_o must_v remain_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o future_a judgement_n in_o which_o all_o these_o uncertain_a irregular_a dispensation_n of_o his_o providence_n as_o they_o appear_v to_o we_o shall_v be_v clear_v and_o set_v right_o and_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a receive_v the_o just_a recompense_n of_o what_o their_o action_n here_o have_v deserve_v see_v then_o we_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n doubt_n either_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o that_o this_o god_n be_v just_a or_o that_o his_o providence_n do_v indeed_o superintend_v over_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o thing_n now_o be_v not_o order_v with_o so_o exact_a a_o justice_n as_o a_o divine_a providence_n do_v require_v it_o must_v remain_v that_o neither_o can_v we_o with_o any_o reason_n doubt_n but_o that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v in_o which_o god_n will_v make_v a_o perfect_a demonstration_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o justice_n to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n and_o of_o which_o our_o conscience_n as_o we_o have_v before_o show_v shall_v then_o render_v a_o most_o exact_a account_n which_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v say_v much_o to_o show_v two_o dly_a that_o then_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o those_o who_o live_v wicked_o now_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v hereafter_o in_o a_o most_o wretched_a and_o deplorable_a condition_n this_o be_v the_o plain_a indeed_o the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o the_o forego_n reflection_n for_o if_o the_o very_a end_n of_o this_o judgement_n be_v as_o we_o have_v say_v to_o make_v a_o great_a and_o eternal_a demonstration_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o his_o dispensation_n towards_o the_o child_n of_o man_n then_o in_o the_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n rom._n two_o 6_o etc._n he_o must_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o will_n do_v seek_v for_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o immortality_n eternal_a life_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n upon_o every_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o do_v evil_a of_o the_o jew_n first_o and_o also_o of_o the_o gentile_a for_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n if_o the_o present_a administration_n of_o affair_n in_o this_o life_n be_v not_o exact_o according_a to_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o equity_n and_o justice_n god_n permit_v the_o righteous_a man_n to_o struggle_v under_o the_o pressure_n of_o a_o adverse_a fortune_n and_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a to_o prosper_v in_o their_o wickedness_n yet_o may_v this_o be_v very_o well_o reconcilable_a with_o his_o justice_n both_o because_o he_o may_v have_v other_o excellent_a end_n to_o serve_v by_o such_o a_o irregularity_n and_o for_o that_o he_o have_v yet_o a_o opportunity_n remain_v in_o his_o hand_n abundant_o to_o recompense_v all_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o one_o and_o to_o punish_v all_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o other_o and_o instead_o of_o conclude_v from_o these_o promiscuous_a event_n now_o that_o god_n be_v not_o just_o or_o do_v not_o regard_v the_o affair_n of_o this_o world_n that_o he_o know_v not_o neither_o understand_v how_o thing_n pass_v here_o below_o nor_o have_v power_n sufficient_a to_o govern_v they_o as_o in_o justice_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o infer_v that_o this_o life_n be_v only_o a_o state_n of_o trial_n that_o the_o great_a time_n of_o retribution_n remain_v in_o another_o world_n when_o all_o these_o irregularity_n shall_v be_v set_v right_a and_o the_o goodness_n the_o justice_n the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v make_v know_v in_o a_o most_o severe_a and_o exact_a sentence_n which_o shall_v then_o pass_v upon_o every_o man_n in_o the_o day_n when_o he_o shall_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n but_o if_o god_n not_o only_o suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o flourish_n now_o but_o shall_v hereafter_o also_o let_v they_o go_v unpunished_a if_o he_o permit_v they_o to_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o will_v take_v no_o care_n to_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o they_o in_o the_o next_o 25_o how_o then_o shall_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n do_v right_a or_o what_o be_v there_o more_o remain_v whereby_o to_o justify_v god_n in_o his_o do_n who_o thus_o apparent_o connive_n at_o sinner_n and_o neither_o assert_n his_o cause_n in_o their_o ruin_n here_o nor_o will_v call_v they_o to_o any_o account_n for_o all_o their_o wickedness_n hereafter_o it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o as_o certain_o as_o that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o therefore_o must_v some_o time_n or_o other_o render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n the_o sinner_n shall_v one_o day_n receive_v a_o dreadful_a sentence_n of_o horror_n and_o misery_n from_o that_o god_n neither_o who_o knowledge_n he_o can_v escape_v nor_o who_o power_n he_o be_v able_a to_o withstand_v who_o see_v all_o his_o most_o secret_a villainy_n now_o and_o will_v hereafter_o bring_v he_o to_o judgement_n for_o they_o but_o now_o what_o or_o how_o great_a that_o punishment_n be_v which_o remain_v for_o sinner_n in_o the_o other_o world_n this_o be_v what_o we_o can_v pretend_v by_o any_o natural_a way_n of_o reason_v precise_o to_o define_v and_o yet_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v even_o our_o own_o reason_n may_v suggest_v to_o we_o i_o sy_n that_o it_o must_v be_v some_o very_a great_a punishment_n which_o a_o long_a life_n of_o sin_n and_o impiety_n and_o that_o too_o heighten_v with_o all_o the_o aggravate_v circumstance_n of_o be_v commit_v against_o knowledge_n against_o the_o check_n of_o our_o conscience_n to_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v be_v against_o vow_n and_o resolution_n of_o do_v better_a nay_o possible_o against_o many_o special_a mean_n and_o method_n of_o god_n providence_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o repentance_n must_v deserve_v and_o therefore_o in_o all_o probability_n shall_v receive_v 2_o dly_z that_o as_o there_o be_v different_a kind_n and_o degree_n of_o sinner_n now_o all_o man_n do_v not_o rise_v up_o to_o a_o equal_a pitch_n of_o wickedness_n nor_o begin_v so_o soon_o nor_o continue_v so_o long_o in_o their_o evil_a do_n nor_o it_o may_v be_v have_v it_o in_o their_o power_n to_o do_v so_o much_o mischief_n as_o other_o sinner_n do_v so_o in_o all_o reason_n we_o may_v believe_v that_o there_o shall_v also_o be_v different_a degree_n of_o punishment_n suitable_a to_o all_o these_o and_o some_o be_v condemn_v to_o a_o much_o more_o severe_a and_o intolerable_a infliction_n than_o other_o to_o both_o which_o remark_n i_o can_v tell_v whether_o i_o may_v not_o add_v 3_o dly_a that_o see_v the_o soul_n be_v a_o spirit_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n capable_a of_o immortality_n have_v neither_o any_o dependence_n on_o the_o body_n nor_o be_v expose_v to_o any_o of_o those_o casualty_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v decay_n and_o perish_v here_o and_o there_o be_v no_o declaration_n any_o where_o make_v to_o we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n ever_o to_o extinguish_v they_o after_o they_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n we_o may_v i_o think_v have_v some_o cause_n to_o fear_n whether_o our_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o eternal_a existence_n the_o punishment_n also_o which_o in_o that_o last_o judgement_n they_o shall_v be_v doom_v to_o may_v not_o be_v for_o all_o eternity_n and_o
