for_o sin_n as_o they_o express_v it_o but_o from_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o affliction_n which_o come_v upon_o the_o godly_a do_v not_o arise_v from_o god_n anger_n for_o sin_n past_a only_o they_o

christ_n blood_n take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o man_n penal_a exercise_n must_v take_v away_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n thus_o by_o their_o distinction_n they_o do_v great_o
