though_o he_o shall_v inflict_v extreme_a punishment_n upon_o the_o most_o righteous_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o have_v absolute_a power_n over_o they_o all_o as_o the_o potter_n have_v of_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 there_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o so_o god_n shall_v do_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n the_o which_o do_v necessare_o incline_v itself_o towards_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o

impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v but_o as_o touch_v your_o objection_n against_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v sin_n commit_v against_o god_n to_o be_v so_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 heinous_a even_o as_o we_o know_v that_o the_o least_o indecent_a behaviour_n towards_o a_o prince_n be_v think_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n and_o not_o only_o outward_a &_o actual_a rebellion_n but_o also_o the_o very_a thought_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o mind_n tend_v to_o treason_n be_v account_v most_o heinous_a crime_n yea_o so_o heinous_a as_o for_o they_o not_o only_o the_o offendant_fw-la himself_o but_o also_o all_o his_o posterity_n for_o ever_o be_v think_v worthy_a to_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o those_o dignity_n and_o commodity_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v enjoy_v by_o the_o liberality_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o yet_o within_o his_o dominion_n yet_o we_o need_v not_o say_v that_o god_n do_v punish_v infant_n for_o adam_n sin_n for_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o sufficient_a matter_n of_o damnation_n their_o whole_a nature_n be_v actual_o corrupt_v in_o respect_n of_o y_fw-es ●_o image_n of_o god_n for_o the_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v worthy_o loathe_a and_o abhor_v of_o god_n as_o for_o the_o infidel_n which_o have_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o to_o learn_v and_o know_v god_n you_o may_v remember_v how_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 1._o in_o the_o latter_a part_n or_o half_o of_o the_o chapter_n do_v plain_o prove_v that_o they_o do_v wilful_o sin_v against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n shine_v in_o the_o creature_n yea_o that_o they_o do_v obstinate_o contemn_v god_n who_o they_o may_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o creatute_n to_o be_v most_o majestical_a &_o worthy_a to_o who_o all_o obedience_n honour_n and_o

and_o that_o in_o respect_n both_o of_o himself_o as_o also_o of_o the_o creature_n for_o first_o god_n as_o he_o be_v in_o all_o respect_v most_o pure_a and_o innocent_a yea_o most_o holy_a and_o

desert_n of_o blame_n but_o also_o to_o deserve_v most_o worthy_o all_o praise_n and_o glory_n but_o more_o plain_o this_o faculty_n have_v use_v in_o respect_n of_o man_n who_o do_v often_o charge_n god_n with_o evil_n injury_n injustice_n cruelty_n and_o many_o other_o grecuous_a crime_n in_o the_o which_o plea_n this_o faculty_n of_o conscience_n do_v clear_a and_o absolve_v god_n from_o all_o

his_o ubiquity_n from_o the_o greatness_n or_o stature_n of_o man_n his_o omnipotency_n from_o the_o strength_n of_o man_n with_o other_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n you_o have_v a_o perfect_a picture_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n shadow_v out_o though_o rude_o and_o imperfect_o under_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n this_o last_o kind_n of_o attribute_n have_v be_v touch_v already_o in_o speak_v of_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o god_n the_o general_a and_o essential_a difference_n of_o his_o nature_n from_o the_o which_o they_o do_v necessare_o flow_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v here_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o conference_n and_o so_o we_o may_v of_o our_o journey_n also_o if_o you_o think_v good_a to_o light_v and_o lead_v along_o this_o long_a causey_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a

favour_n sir_n i_o must_v needs_o desire_v you_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o task_n which_o upon_o agreement_n though_o unwilling_o you_o take_v in_o hand_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a grief_n i_o will_v not_o say_v a_o shame_n for_o a_o man_n that_o have_v toil_v all_o the_o day_n long_o many_o a_o long_a mile_n through_o thick_a and_o thin_a to_o give_v over_o at_o the_o last_o cast_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o place_n whither_o he_o go_v if_o you_o have_v perhaps_o touch_v these_o attribute_n by_o the_o way_n upon_o some_o occasion_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v deny_v their_o proper_a and_o due_a place_n in_o this_o work_n the_o which_o without_o they_o will_v be_v maim_v and_o imperfect_a i_o like_v well_o that_o we_o light_n and_o lead_v for_o so_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o more_o time_n for_o conference_n but_o for_o our_o lodging_n we_o will_v not_o trouble_v ourselves_o as_o yet_o but_o rather_o take_v it_o as_o we_o find_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o let_v i_o hear_v and_o know_v somewhat_o of_o these_o also_o in_o particular_a and_o first_o why_o you_o call_v they_o external_a attribute_n sch._n i_o hope_v your_o

they_o be_v call_v external_a not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o difference_n of_o external_a &_o internal_a in_o god_n as_o in_o man_n consist_v of_o a_o outward_a body_n and_o a_o inward_a soul_n for_o in_o god_n there_o be_v neither_o without_o nor_o within_o but_o all_o alike_o but_o they_o be_v so_o call_v in_o god_n because_o they_o be_v so_o in_o truth_n in_o man_n from_o who_o nature_n the_o resemblance_n be_v take_v yea_o further_o they_o may_v be_v so_o call_v howsoever_o they_o be_v as_o essential_a as_o the_o other_o for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o come_v so_o

the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o difference_n which_o be_v infiniteness_n to_o the_o essential_a understanding_n of_o god_n the_o which_o bring_v forth_o knowledge_n wisdom_n will_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a attribute_n more_o natural_o and_o proper_o than_o it_o do_v eternity_n and_o ubiquity_n the_o which_o be_v find_v only_o in_o this_o one_o understanding_n whereas_o the_o

near_o the_o understanding_n which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o god_n essence_n then_o be_v his_o infinite_a continuance_n although_o not_o more_o essential_a even_o as_o we_o see_v that_o those_o part_n
