to_o strengthen_v it_o the_o very_a natural_a man_n can_v so_o conclude_v albeit_o he_o may_v err_v when_o he_o come_v to_o particular_n as_o those_o man_n of_o malta_n do_v who_o descend_v hasty_o and_o inconsiderate_o to_o particular_a and_o personal_a application_n have_v they_o know_v paul_n or_o know_v he_o guilty_a of_o murder_n or_o any_o such_o heinous_a crime_n there_o have_v be_v some_o ground_n for_o their_o censure_n for_o when_o the_o sin_n of_o any_o be_v notorious_o and_o manifest_o know_v unto_o we_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o god_n have_v threaten_v to_o punish_v with_o such_o judgement_n in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o judge_v that_o for_o those_o sin_n god_n have_v just_o smite_v they_o psal_n 52.6_o 7._o but_o when_o we_o judge_v a_o man_n guilty_a of_o some_o great_a sin_n albeit_o we_o know_v no_o sin_n by_o he_o only_o for_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o endure_v and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o be_v

paul_n be_v a_o evidence_n of_o his_o guiltiness_n in_o this_o offence_n of_o murder_n for_o there_o be_v many_o crime_n and_o those_o capital_a and_o such_o as_o will_v have_v induce_v death_n on_o

god_n be_v angry_a when_o he_o strike_v and_o that_o he_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o strike_v when_o he_o do_v be_v a_o undeniable_a conclusion_n from_o the_o dictare_fw-la of_o nature_n as_o well_o
