be_v no_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o transgress_a of_o his_o commandment_n and_o yet_o for_o the_o full_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n viz._n the_o do_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v or_o command_v i_o say_v that_o in_o some_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sin_n in_o other_o no_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o do_v what_o he_o bid_v but_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v it_o in_o that_o very_a manner_n that_o he_o prescribe_v and_o to_o that_o very_a end_n which_o he_o intend_v quia_fw-la modus_fw-la &_o finis_fw-la actionis_fw-la constituunt_fw-la actionem_fw-la because_o the_o manner_n and_o the_o end_n of_o a_o action_n do_v make_v the_o action_n good_a or_o bad_a and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o if_o abraham_n evil_n the_o manner_n of_o do_v and_o the_o end_n of_o action_n make_v they_o either_o good_a or_o evil_n have_v kill_v his_o son_n mere_o because_o he_o will_v obey_v god_n and_o fulfil_v his_o will_n in_o all_o particular_a respect_n he_o have_v not_o sin_v nor_o yet_o the_o jew_n in_o crucify_a the_o son_n of_o god_n whereof_o the_o other_o be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n if_o they_o have_v do_v the_o same_o only_o to_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o to_o the_o same_o end_n as_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o same_o but_o they_o do_v not_o so_o therefore_o they_o sin_v for_o god_n give_v he_o out_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o his_o love_n to_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v redeem_v by_o he_o but_o they_o put_v he_o to_o death_n out_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o their_o malice_n and_o envy_n against_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o same_o act_n of_o crucify_a christ_n be_v no_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v decree_v by_o god_n but_o a_o most_o grievous_a sin_n as_o it_o be_v commit_v by_o they_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n which_o be_v the_o author_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n 2._o as_o he_o can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o punishment_n that_o god_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o author_n of_o any_o punishment_n the_o evil_a of_o sin_n because_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o grace_n so_o can_v he_o not_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n because_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o peace_n for_o peace_n be_v a_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o consent_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o due_a order_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o distraction_n or_o diwlsion_n but_o punishment_n be_v the_o distract_n and_o disturb_v of_o the_o quiet_a disposition_n of_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o natural_a inclination_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o god_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o this_o evil_n of_o punishment_n may_v be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o as_o it_o be_v evil_a and_o a_o dissolution_n of_o the_o creature_n 2._o as_o it_o tend_v to_o good_a either_o in_o respect_n of_o 1._o man._n 2._o god_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o sense_n i_o say_v god_n can_v besay_v to_o be_v author_n of_o this_o

destruction_n of_o his_o creature_n 2._o i_o say_v that_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n may_v tend_v to_o good_a and_o that_o 1._o in_o respect_n of_o man_n and_o that_o likewise_o affliction_n the_o manifold_a good_a of_o affliction_n many_o way_n but_o especial_o these_o three_o way_n 1._o to_o make_v he_o loath_a his_o sin_n and_o forsake_v they_o 2._o to_o make_v he_o weary_a of_o the_o world_n and_o despise_v it_o 3._o to_o make_v he_o long_o for_o christ_n and_o desire_v he_o 1._o as_o the_o correction_n of_o a_o child_n make_v he_o leave_v his_o fault_n so_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o godly_a make_v they_o forsake_v their_o sin_n for_o before_o i_o be_v correct_v i_o go_v wrong_v say_v the_o prophet_n david_n but_o now_o i_o have_v learned_a to_o keep_v thy_o

my_o way_n with_o thorn_n 2._o our_o soul_n be_v glue_v upon_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o mother_n put_v aloe_n or_o mustard_n or_o some_o like_a bitter_a thing_n upon_o her_o teat_n when_o she_o will_v wean_v her_o child_n that_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o her_o breast_n so_o do_v god_n anoint_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n with_o the_o bitter_a ointment_n of_o affliction_n that_o we_o may_v be_v even_o weary_a of_o the_o same_o 3._o he_o send_v affliction_n not_o only_o to_o make_v we_o loathe_v our_o sin_n and_o wax_v weary_a of_o the_o world_n but_o

either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o the_o future_a life_n be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a they_o show_v god_n
