be_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_a wherewith_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v press_v down_o which_o by_o any_o creature_n can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o the_o other_o be_v the_o weakness_n or_o

whole_a life_n and_o mind_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o evil_n wherewith_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v oppress_v be_v perceive_v in_o four_o thing_n chief_o namely_o in_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n in_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o most_o crvel_n tyranny_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o weight_n of_o sin_n be_v great_a then_o that_o any_o finite_a or_o bound_a power_n such_o as_o be_v the_o power_n of_o angel_n and_o man_n may_v bear_v the_o burden_n thereof_o for_o in_o much_o as_o y_o e_o guiltiness_n be_v infinite_a by_o

shall_v either_o with_o infinite_a pain_n be_v punish_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n or_o else_o that_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o divine_a justice_n shall_v be_v make_v

the_o offence_n be_v infinite_a the_o anger_n be_v also_o infinite_a which_o the_o first_o creature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o pacify_v nor_o sustain_v wherefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o
