by_o that_o mean_n become_v a_o 25._o perfect_a and_o sufficient_a saviour_n we_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n deliver_v from_o the_o penalty_n of_o death_n for_o weaken_v sin_n by_o destroy_v the_o

this_o punishment_n be_v a_o evil_a or_o pressure_n of_o nature_n proceed_v from_o a_o lawgiver_n just_a and_o powerful_a and_o inflict_v on_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n for_o the_o disobedience_n

improper_o for_o those_o evil_n of_o nature_n which_o do_v occasional_o follow_v sin_n and_o unto_o which_o sin_n have_v original_o open_v a_o entrance_n which_o declare_v how_o god_n stand_v affect_v towards_o sin_n with_o a_o mind_n purpose_v the_o root_n out_o and_o destroy_v of_o it_o in_o this_o sense_n likewise_o may_v the_o affliction_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v call_v punishment_n as_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v 9_o exceed_v angry_a with_o aaron_n but_o now_o these_o evil_n though_o inflict_v on_o the_o godly_a because_o of_o their_o sin_n as_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o child_n to_o david_n the_o tempest_n to_o jonah_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o evil_n inflict_v for_o the_o revenge_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v yet_o the_o right_a nature_n of_o a_o proper_a

overthrow_n of_o sin_n for_o weaken_v the_o violence_n and_o abate_v the_o outrageousnesse_n of_o our_o natural_a corruption_n as_o then_o in_o the_o godly_a sin_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v and_o not_o to_o be_v in_o a_o diverse_a sense_n so_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o one_o place_n ●_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o yet_o in_o another_o 9_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o it_o be_v not_o in_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o condemnation_n although_o it_o be_v in_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o inhabitation_n though_o even_o that_o also_o as_o daily_o die_v and_o crucify_a even_o so_o punishment_n or_o consequent_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o godly_a or_o not_o to_o be_v in_o they_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n they_o be_v not_o in_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o sting_n and_o curse_v as_o they_o be_v proper_a revenge_n for_o sin_n although_o they_o be_v in_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o

conclude_v that_o the_o temporal_a evil_n which_o do_v befall_v the_o godly_a be_v not_o formal_o or_o proper_o punishment_n nor_o effect_n of_o divine_a malediction_n or_o vengeance_n towards_o the_o

the_o evil_n which_o the_o law_n pronounce_v to_o be_v inflict_v so_o that_o every_o branch_n and_o sprig_n of_o that_o evil_a must_v needs_o bear_v in_o it_o some_o part_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o
