which_o seem_v only_o casual_a and_o accidental_a be_v direct_v by_o god_n to_o other_o special_a end_n and_o design_n of_o his_o providence_n and_o make_v the_o executioner_n of_o his_o wrath_n

in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o it_o as_o that_o very_o many_o sin_n natural_o produce_v mischief_n and_o sorrow_n to_o the_o author_n of_o they_o and_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o secret_a lash_n of_o a_o wound_a conscience_n which_o usual_o pursue_v sin_n at_o the_o heel_n and_o where_o god_n by_o his_o vicegerent_n in_o we_o become_v witness_n judge_n and_o

the_o instrument_n of_o his_o anger_n and_o the_o executioner_n of_o his_o wrath_n against_o sinner_n ii_o when_o this_o do_v not_o happen_v and_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o dare_a god_n sometime_o break_v through_o all_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o disturb_v the_o order_n of_o the_o world_n to_o make_v his_o power_n and_o his_o justice_n know_v to_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o
