that_o when_o god_n take_v gospel-sinner_n into_o his_o hand_n to_o punish_v they_o his_o judgement_n on_o they_o be_v most_o terrible_a the_o judgement_n which_o god_n bring_v for_o abuse_v the_o

gospel-sinner_n such_o as_o have_v despise_v his_o grace_n he_o do_v not_o soon_o make_v a_o end_n with_o they_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n as_o much_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v when_o god_n have_v once_o take_v man_n into_o his_o hand_n to_o punish_v they_o he_o do_v not_o so_o soon_o make_v a_o end_n with_o they_o he_o be_v a_o

his_o wrath_n in_o one_o judgement_n upon_o they_o that_o contemn_v his_o son_n and_o reject_v the_o grace_n offer_v by_o they_o but_o he_o send_v variety_n of_o judgement_n on_o they_o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o understand_v his_o wrath_n by_o one_o judgement_n they_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o understand_v it_o by_o variety_n of_o judgement_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n god_n live_v to_o right_v himself_o to_o avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o his_o slight_v abuse_a grace_n and_o gospel_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o we_o be_v fall_v under_o the_o influence_n and_o effect_n of_o this_o scripture_n true_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o a_o account_n for_o

the_o lord_n do_v plain_o threaten_v the_o church_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o if_o they_o abuse_v his_o grace_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v do_v they_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o by_o his_o judgement_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v and_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o god_n have_v do_v and_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n have_v we_o not_o reason_n to_o fear_v and_o tremble_v have_v not_o judgement_n begin_v
