unless_o more_o follow_v it_o can_v afford_v we_o no_o comfort_n but_o why_o then_o do_v god_n suffer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v first_o terrify_v with_o this_o fear_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o two_o

second_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o can_v be_v none_o comparable_a to_o this_o in_o not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n that_o so_o he_o may_v spare_v we_o who_o have_v so_o grievous_o provoke_v he_o and_o three_o there_o can_v not_o be_v so_o much_o justice_n see_v in_o any_o thing_n as_o in_o spare_v we_o not_o to_o spare_v his_o son_n in_o lay_v his_o son_n head_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o block_n and_o chap_a it_o off_o indeed_o the_o death_n unto_o which_o he_o give_v his_o son_n be_v not_o only_o more_o vile_a than_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o head_n but_o far_o more_o painful_a and_o terrible_a to_o nature_n the_o death_n on_o the_o cross_n in_o rent_v and_o tear_v that_o bless_a body_n of_o he_o even_o as_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v

the_o spirit_n must_v first_o become_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o magnify_n of_o god_n justice_n thus_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v sin_v be_v drive_v to_o this_o
