augustine_n augustine_n neither_o do_v that_o seem_v to_o make_v much_o to_o the_o purpose_n which_o the_o same_o augustine_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o say_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n be_v no_o

the_o apostel_n be_v also_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o only_o to_o have_v speak_v word_n of_o curse_n as_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v i_o will_v to_o god_n they_o be_v cut_v of_o which_o

the_o magicien_n of_o his_o sight_n and_o peter_n slay_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n wherefore_o we_o must_v rather_o say_v that_o these_o great_a man_n do_v not_o such_o thing_n of_o a_o hatred_n grant_v to_o unperfect_a man_n but_o that_o they_o be_v drive_v thereunto_o by_o some_o other_o manner_n of_o mean_n distinction_n mark_v the_o distinction_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v we_o must_v make_v this_o distinction_n that_o they_o sometime_o have_v to_o do_v for_o their_o own_o cause_n &_o sometime_o for_o god_n cause_n when_o they_o have_v to_o do_v for_o their_o matter_n all_o their_o

for_o who_o unfeigned_a repentance_n we_o must_v always_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o if_o they_o seem_v pass_v all_o hope_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v that_o their_o sin_n may_v sometime_o at_o the_o length_n come_v to_o a_o end_n namely_o that_o when_o they_o be_v take_v away_o they_o may_v cease_v both_o to_o hynder_n the_o woorship_v of_o god_n and_o also_o to_o trouble_v the_o saint_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a that_o their_o sin_n shall_v escape_v unpunished_a for_o when_o it_o be_v jest_n without_o punishment_n it_o be_v mere_a unjustice_n but_o when_o the_o punishment_n of_o god_n be_v adjoin_v unto_o it_o than_o there_o be_v in_o he_o less_o deformitye_n wherefore_o god_n be_v of_o the_o same_o augustine_n call_v very_o well_o not_o a_o cruel_a

for_o they_o do_v set_v over_o each_o of_o they_o certain_a noble_a governor_n neither_o aught_o that_o much_o to_o move_v we_o because_o the_o history_n do_v only_a name_n judah_n now_o &_o speak_v
