thankfulness_n shall_v be_v perform_v and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o as_o none_o in_o this_o world_n can_v charge_v god_n with_o cruelty_n so_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v the_o wicked_a

yet_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o their_o suffering_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n who_o do_v suffer_v for_o this_o end_n to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o elect_a the_o which_o they_o can_v do_v either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n for_o if_o they_o be_v put_v to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n but_o for_o the_o least_o of_o their_o sin_n they_o shall_v suffer_v not_o only_o temporal_o but_o also_o eternal_o and_o so_o shall_v perish_v but_o christ_n only_o suffer_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o they_o for_o the_o declaration_n of_o god_n justice_n sect._n 3_o but_o we_o may_v not_o stay_v any_o long_o in_o this_o part_n of_o his_o justice_n we_o must_v now_o brief_o consider_v the_o other_o to_o wit_n the_o remuner_n ative_a justice_n by_o the_o which_o he_o reward_v the_o goodness_n of_o his_o reasonable_a creature_n gent._n you_o need_v not_o be_v long_o in_o this_o point_n for_o i_o think_v there_o be_v small_a use_n of_o it_o

of_o god_n for_o their_o obedience_n and_o good_a be_v imperfect_a and_o pollute_a with_o sin_n be_v so_o far_o from_o deserve_a reward_n that_o they_o can_v possible_o stand_v before_o the_o seat_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o judgement_n but_o be_v reject_v as_o filthy_a menstruous_a clou●es_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v sch._n you_o say_v true_a that_o according_a to_o the_o strict_a rigour_n of_o god_n law_n and_o justice_n our_o best_a work_n be_v so_o far_o from_o deserve_a reward_n that_o they_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n but_o there_o be_v a_o time_n and_o use_v as_o for_o the_o rigour_n so_o also_o ●or_a the_o mitigation_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o the_o which_o it_o please_v god_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n to_o pass_v over_o &_o over_o see_v the_o imperfection_n

only_o to_o the_o godly_a but_o even_o to_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o first_o the_o retribution_n of_o good_a to_o the_o godly_a have_v place_n both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o also_o in_o the_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

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
