wrath_n as_o david_n do_v signify_v when_o he_o say_v lord_n do_v not_o rebuke_v i_o in_o thy_o fury_n and_o wrath_n and_o jeremie_n also_o when_o he_o say_v lord_n rebuke_n or_o chastise_v i_o but_o

adversary_n do_v confess_v that_o contrition_n may_v be_v so_o great_a that_o satisfaction_n be_v not_o requisite_a ergo_fw-la contrition_n be_v more_o true_o a_o punyshement_n than_o be_v the_o papistical_a satisfaction_n which_o be_v commen_o enjoin_v secundary_o saint_n &_o holy_a man_n be_v subject_n to_o death_n &_o other_o come_fw-mi affliction_n as_o peter_n say_v it_o be_v time_n to_o

for_o the_o most_o part_n punyshemente_n of_o sin_n yet_o ne_v theles_o in_o good_a man_n they_o have_v a_o neither_o end_n for_o they_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o to_o mortify_v sin_n present_a because_o in_o holy_a man_n they_o do_v quench_v and_o mortify_v concupiscence_n for_o death_n to_o this_o intent_n be_v leave_v in_o holy_a man_n to_o abolyshe_a and_o put_v away_o this_o unclean_a

remain_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o cross_n therefore_o be_v not_o a_o pain_n or_o punyshement_n but_o a_o exercise_n &_o a_o preparation_n unto_o renovation_n for_o when_o the_o present_a sin_n be_v

god_n accord_v to_o that_o sayenge_a of_o scripture_n the_o prycke_n or_o sting_v of_o death_n be_v sin_n but_o after_o that_o in_o holy_a man_n the_o terror_n of_o sin_n be_v overcome_v by_o faith_n death_n without_o that_o feeling_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v propre_o no_o punyshement_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o key_n do_v neither_o lay_n on_o neither_o remit_v these_o pain_n wherefore_o satisfaction_n do_v not_o apperteyne_a nor_o belong_v to_o these_o pain_n for_o the_o key_n do_v not_o remit_v neither_o death_n neither_o any_o part_n of_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n more_o over_o if_o they_o do_v redeem_v these_o pain_n with_o satisfaction_n thaduersary_n why_o do_v they_o bid_v we_o make_v satisfaction_n in_o purgatory_n they_o object_n against_o we_o adam_n also_o david_n which_o be_v punish_v for_o hꝭ_n adultery_n of_o these_o example_n they_o do_v make_v a_o universal_a rule_n that_o to_o every_o sin_v be_v correspondent_a a_o proper_a temporal_a punyshement_n in_o layeng_v on_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n afore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o holy_a man_n do_v sustain_v punyshemente_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n they_z susteyn_a contrition_n or_o terror_n they_o sustain_v also_o other_o come_fw-mi affliction_n answer_n so_o some_o sustain_v proper_a punyshmente_n lay_v on_o they_o by_o god_n because_o of_o example_n to_o

a_o proper_a punyshement_n for_o his_o offence_n ergo_fw-la besides_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a other_o pain_n of_o purgatory_n in_o which_o to_o every_o sin_n be_v correspondent_a a_o degree_n of_o punyshement_n where_o do_v the_o scripture_n teach_v this_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v delyver_v from_o eternal_a death_n but_o by_o that_o recompense_n of_o certain_a pain_n besides_o the_o come_fw-mi affliction_n contrarywyse_o the_o scripture_n do_v often_o time_n teach_v that_o remission_n of_o sin_n do_v come_v free_o for_o christis_fw-la sake_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o overcome_a of_o death_n and_o of_o sin_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o patch_v unto_o he_o the_o merit_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o though_o there_o be_v affliction_n leave_v yet_o not_o withstand_v the_o scripture_n do_v judge_v they_o to_o be_v mortification_n of_o the_o sin_n present_v not_o recompensation_n of_o eternal_a death_n or_o price_n of_o eternal_a death_n job_n be_v excuse_v that_o he_o be_v not_o punysh_v for_o his_o offence_n commit_v in_o time_n pass_v wherefore_o affliction_n be_v not_o always_o punyshemente_n or_o token_n of_o wrath_n but_o rather_o frearefull_a conscience_n be_v to_o be_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v other_o better_a end_n of_o affliction_n lest_o else_o they_o may_v think_v themselves_o to_o be_v reject_v of_o god_n if_o in_o affliction_n they_o do_v see_v nothing_o but_o punyshement_n &_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n other_o better_a endꝭ_n i_o say_v be_v to_o be_v considere_v as_o this_o end_n that_o god_n do_v asleep_o neither_o man_n work_n that_o he_o may_v do_v his_o own_o work_n etc._n etc._n as_o esaie_n do_v teach_v in_o a_o long_a sermon_n 28._o and_o when_o the_o disciple_n do_v ask_v christ_n concern_v the_o blind_a man_n who_o have_v sin_v christ_n answer_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o blindness_n 9_o but_o that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n may_v be_v show_v and_o declare_v in_o he_o and_o in_o jeremie_n it_o be_v say_v to_o who_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n they_o drynk_n shall_v drink_v etc._n etc._n as_o the_o prophet_n be_v slay_v and_o john_n baptiste_n &_o other_o holy_a man_n wherefore_o affliction_n be_v not_o always_o punyshemente_n for_o certeyn_a sin_n do_v in_o time_n past_a but_o they_o be_v work_n of_o god_n appoint_v to_o our_o utility_n and_o ꝓfite_n and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o show_v and_o the_o better_o see_v &_o know_v in_o our_o infirmity_n so_o paul_n say_v ▪_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v make_v perfect_v in_o my_o infirmity_n and_o weykenes_n therefore_o our_o body_n ought_v to_o be_v sacrifice_n or_o oblation_n because_o of_o god_n will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o declare_v our_o obedience_n and_o not_o to_o make_v recompense_n for_o eternal_a death_n for_o which_o god_n have_v asleep_o neither_o price_n i_o mean_v the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n and_o after_o this_o sentence_n &_o meaning_n do_v gregory_n interpret_v also_o that_o punyshement_n of_o david_n gregory_n when_o he_o say_v if_o god_n for_o that_o sin_n have_v threten_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o humble_v of_o his_o son_n why_o after_o that_o the_o sin_n be_v forgyven_v do_v he_o fulfylle_v that_o which_o he_o have_v threten_v it_o be_v answer_v that_o that_o forgyvenes_n of_o sin_n be_v do_v lest_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v let_v to_o receyve_v eternal_a life_n and_o that_o example_n of_o punyshement_n threten_v do_v follow_v that_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o man_n also_o in_o that_o humility_n or_o affliction_n may_v be_v exercise_v &_o ꝓue_v so_o also_o god_n do_v lay_v upon_o man_n death_n of_o the_o body_n because_o of_o sin_n and_o after_o the_o forgyvenes_n of_o sin_n he_o have_v not_o take_v away_o death_n for_o cause_n of_o justice_n to_o be_v exercise_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o justice_n may_v be_v exercise_v &_o prove_v of_o they_o which_o be_v sanctify_v neither_o be_v the_o come_fw-mi calamite_n and_o affliction_n take_v away_o propre_o by_o those_o work_n of_o canonical_a satisfaction_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o those_o work_n of_o man_n tradition_n which_o they_o do_v say_v to_o be_v of_o such_o strength_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o work_n that_o be_v wrought_v that_o albeit_o they_o be_v do_v in_o deadly_a sin_n yet_o they_o do_v redeem_v pain_n and_o when_o that_o text_n of_o paul_n be_v allege_v if_o we_o will_v judge_v our_o self_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v
man_n wherefore_o they_o in_o who_o christ_n do_v nothing_o work_n be_v not_o membre_n of_o christ._n and_o this_o confess_v the_o adversary_n that_o the_o evyll_n person_n be_v dead_a membre_n of_o
