on_o they_o as_o i_o have_v former_o prove_v three_o the_o apostle_n here_o inform_v we_o that_o such_o man_n damnation_n slumber_v not_o and_o their_o judgement_n linger_v not_o and_o that_o they_o

sword_n of_o justice_n or_o his_o own_o immediate_a judgement_n not_o the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n for_o than_o their_o destruction_n so_o long_o defer_v will_v not_o be_v swift_a and_o their_o judgement_n and_o damnation_n will_v just_o be_v say_v to_o linger_v to_o slumber_v contrary_a to_o the_o text_n five_o admit_v it_o mean_v of_o the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n yet_o god_n reserve_v not_o false_a teacher_n and_o damnable_a heretic_n till_o that_o day_n to_o be_v punish_v with_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o destruction_n but_o where_o magistrate_n neglect_v to_o
