as_o in_o inflict_v the_o deserve_a punishment_n upon_o offender_n so_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o administer_v the_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n of_o the_o world_n of_o two_o

be_v doubt_v whither_o they_o be_v sin_n or_o no_o as_o namely_o to_o let_v pass_v the_o inward_a thought_n and_o desire_n the_o which_o although_o they_o be_v actual_a yet_o they_o be_v in_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o act_n that_o can_v be_v original_a sin_n in_o infant_n the_o which_o be_v either_o alienum_fw-la another_o man_n and_o therefore_o not_o just_o impute_v to_o they_o or_o if_o you_o take_v it_o as_o it_o be_v inherent_a in_o themselves_o it_o be_v but_o a_o inclination_n to_o sin_n not_o sin_n indeed_o and_o in_o act_n beside_o how_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o so_o grievous_a a_o punishment_n as_o be_v eternal_a death_n can_v without_o extreme_a rigour_n be_v inflict_v upon_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n that_o do_v never_o hear_v tell_v of_o god_n or_o of_o his_o word_n either_o in_o the_o law_n or_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v those_o poor_a indian_n which_o have_v in_o this_o last_o age_n be_v discover_v who_o in_o all_o reason_n inevitable_a ignorance_n shall_v

doubt_v not_o but_o that_o god_n be_v just_a in_o all_o action_n or_o rather_o i_o doubt_v whither_o god_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v vuiust_a whatsoever_o he_o do_v to_o his_o creature_n yea_o though_o he_o shall_v inflict_v extreme_a punishment_n upon_o the_o most_o righteous_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o have_v absolute_a power_n over_o they_o all_o as_o the_o potter_n have_v of_o his_o clay_n to_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o he_o listen_v himself_o and_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v to_o his_o own_o what_o he_o will_n sch._n i_o be_o not_o of_o your_o opinion_n or_o rather_o that_o opinion_n which_o you_o name_v that_o it_o be_v not_o injustice_n in_o god_n to_o punish_v a_o righteous_a man_n altogether_o voy_fw-fr de_fw-fr of_o sin_n for_o not_o to_o allege_v the_o promise_n and_o covenant_n of_o life_n which_o god_n have_v make_v to_o man_n be_v righteous_a but_o to_o suppose_v that_o god_n have_v not_o bind_v himself_o by_o any_o such_o promise_n the_o absolute_a power_n of_o god_n over_o his_o creature_n will_v indeed_o be_v a_o warrant_n unto_o he_o not_o only_o to_o dispose_v of_o they_o according_a to_o his_o own_o pleasure_n but_o even_o to_o consume_v they_o all_o to_o naught_o as_o in_o the_o beginning_n he_o make_v they_o all_o of_o naught_o but_o yet_o not_o to_o inflict_v extreme_a punishment_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o so_o god_n shall_v do_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n the_o which_o do_v necessare_o incline_v itself_o towards_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o creature_n by_o do_v to_o it_o not_o evil_a but_o good_a and_o therefore_o he_o shall_v do_v evil_a and_o that_o which_o be_v unjust_a or_o rather_o he_o shall_v do_v that_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v but_o as_o touch_v your_o objection_n against_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v sin_n commit_v against_o god_n to_o be_v so_o small_a as_o they_o seem_v in_o themselves_o and_o when_o they_o be_v commit_v against_o man_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n make_v the_o least_o sin_n to_o be_v most_o heinous_a even_o as_o we_o know_v that_o the_o least_o indecent_a behaviour_n towards_o a_o prince_n be_v think_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n and_o not_o only_o outward_a &_o actual_a rebellion_n but_o also_o the_o very_a thought_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o mind_n tend_v to_o treason_n be_v account_v most_o heinous_a crime_n yea_o so_o heinous_a as_o for_o they_o not_o only_o the_o offendant_fw-la himself_o but_o also_o all_o his_o posterity_n for_o ever_o be_v think_v worthy_a to_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o those_o dignity_n and_o commodity_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v enjoy_v by_o the_o liberality_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o yet_o within_o his_o dominion_n yet_o we_o need_v not_o say_v that_o god_n do_v punish_v infant_n for_o adam_n sin_n for_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o sufficient_a matter_n of_o damnation_n their_o whole_a nature_n be_v actual_o corrupt_v in_o respect_n of_o y_fw-es ●_o image_n of_o god_n for_o the_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v worthy_o loathe_a and_o abhor_v of_o god_n as_o for_o the_o infidel_n which_o have_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o to_o learn_v and_o know_v god_n you_o may_v remember_v how_o the_o apostle_n rom._n
