transgression_n or_o because_o transgression_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o it_o from_o whence_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v observe_v likewise_o that_o if_o plurality_n of_o prince_n be_v for_o transgression_n then_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o transgression_n there_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o government_n by_o plurality_n of_o prince_n and_o consequent_o that_o such_o a_o government_n be_v original_o neither_o from_o god_n nor_o from_o nature_n nor_o from_o the_o dictate_v of_o right_a reason_n but_o from_o sin_n which_o be_v always_o the_o meritorious_a and_o sometime_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o it_o second_o it_o appear_v from_o the_o text_n that_o plurality_n of_o prince_n be_v not_o only_o a_o judgement_n because_o it_o be_v for_o transgression_n but_o a_o national_a judgement_n because_o it_o be_v for_o the_o transgression_n of_o a_o land_n that_o be_v of_o a_o nation_n or_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o a_o land_n or_o because_o national_a provocation_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o three_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v from_o my_o text_n likewise_o that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o national_a judgement_n so_o it_o be_v a_o great_a national_a judgement_n or_o a_o great_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o nation_n because_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o ordinary_a or_o common_a national_a sin_n but_o for_o the_o great_a provocation_n that_o a_o nation_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o for_o though_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a which_o we_o translate_v transgression_n do_v indeed_o signify_v a_o
