or_o permissive_a it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n shall_v be_v harden_v and_o if_o god_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o do_v it_o i_o can_v

of_o the_o action_n i_o answer_v because_o he_o concurre_v to_o the_o do_v of_o evil_a by_o a_o general_a but_o not_o by_o a_o special_a influence_n i_o have_v think_v to_o pass_v over_o this_o

with_o as_o good_a reason_n blame_v himself_o for_o make_v he_o by_o concurrence_n a_o accessary_a to_o the_o same_o and_o indeed_o let_v man_n hold_v what_o they_o will_v contrary_v to_o the_o truth_n if_o they_o write_v much_o the_o truth_n will_v fall_v into_o their_o pen_n but_o he_o think_v he_o have_v a_o similitude_n which_o will_v make_v this_o permissive_a will_n a_o very_a clear_a business_n the_o earth_n say_v he_o give_v nourishment_n to_o all_o kind_n of_o plant_n as_o well_o to_o hemlock_n as_o to_o wheat_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o one_o yield_v food_n to_o our_o

by_o this_o similitude_n he_o think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o operative_o but_o premissive_o will_v that_o the_o root_n of_o hemlock_n shall_v poison_v the_o man_n that_o eat_v it_o

their_o will_n to_o justice_n to_o make_v the_o law_n be_v therefore_o to_o make_v a_o cause_n of_o justice_n and_o to_o necessitate_v justice_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v no_o injustice_n to_o

future_a no_o past_a act_n of_o a_o delinquent_n can_v justify_v his_o kill_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o be_v it_o just_a to_o kill_v one_o man_n to_o amend_v another_o if_o what_o be_v do_v be_v necessary_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o man_n be_v just_o kill_v not_o for_o that_o their_o action_n be_v not_o necessitate_v but_o that_o they_o be_v spare_v

we_o destroy_v without_o be_v unjust_a all_o that_o be_v noxious_a both_o beast_n and_o man_n and_o for_o beast_n we_o kill_v they_o just_o when_o we_o do_v it_o in_o order_n to_o our_o own_o

they_o shall_v do_v for_o man_n when_o we_o make_v society_n or_o commonwealth_n we_o lie_v down_o our_o right_n to_o kill_v except_v in_o certain_a case_n as_o murder_v theft_n or_o other_o offensive_a action_n so_o that_o the_o right_n which_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v to_o put_v a_o man_n to_o death_n for_o crime_n be_v not_o create_v by_o the_o law_n but_o remain_v from_o the_o first_o right_n of_o nature_n which_o every_o man_n have_v to_o preserve_v himself_o for_o that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o take_v that_o right_a away_o in_o case_n of_o criminal_o who_o be_v by_o law_n except_v man_n be_v not_o therefore_o put_v to_o death_n or_o punish_v for_o that_o their_o theft_n proceed_v from_o election_n but_o because_o it_o be_v noxious_a and_o contrary_a to_o man_n preservation_n and_o the_o punishment_n conduce_v to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o rest_n in_o as_o much_o as_o to_o punish_v those_o that_o do_v voluntatary_a hurt_n and_o none_o else_o frame_v and_o make_v man_n will_n such_o as_o man_n will_v have_v they_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o from_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o voluntary_a action_n can_v be_v infer_v the_o injustice_n of_o the_o law_n that_o for_o bid_v it_o or_o of_o the_o magistrate_n that_o punish_v it_o second_o i_o deny_v that_o it_o make_v consultation_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v the_o consultation_n that_o cause_v a_o man_n and_o necessitate_v he_o to_o choose_v to_o do_v one_o thing_n rather_o than_o another_o so_o that_o unless_o a_o man_n say_v that_o cause_n to_o be_v in_o vain_a which_o
