not_o the_o light_n of_o his_o word_n and_o his_o law_n write_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o many_o nation_n yet_o he_o give_v to_o they_o all_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v sin_n against_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n 14_o but_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v

of_o good_a and_o evil_n under_o the_o pain_n of_o certain_a death_n and_o destruction_n i_o conceive_v this_o latter_a sense_n more_o probable_a because_o of_o that_o special_a limitation_n of_o

calamity_n be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o righteous_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o although_o these_o sin_v not_o against_o any_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n deliver_v to_o they_o either_o by_o word_n or_o writing_n yet_o they_o sin_v against_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o second_o 8._o this_o may_v show_v we_o the_o reason_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o those_o severe_a execution_n of_o god_n upon_o heathen_a nation_n who_o have_v no_o scripture_n nor_o write_a law_n to_o sin_n against_o they_o

and_o therefore_o proof_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o guiltiness_n against_o god_n otherwise_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a will_v not_o bring_v these_o evil_n upon_o they_o and_o among_o the_o rest_n the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n be_v a_o universal_a declaration_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o mankind_n for_o sin_n if_o any_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o all_o
