punishment_n in_o this_o world_n god_n judgement_n do_v not_o over_o take_v they_o in_o this_o life_n therefore_o that_o god_n may_v be_v just_a their_o judgement_n be_v reserve_v unto_o another_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o health_n he_o be_v subject_a to_o sickness_n poverty_n imprisonment_n a_o whole_a sea_n of_o gall_n and_o bitterness_n nay_o a_o world_n of_o discontentment_n yet_o he_o

upon_o earth_n to_o live_v here_o continual_o though_o in_o continual_a sickness_n and_o why_o be_v all_o this_o but_o because_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o die_v why_o be_v that_o but_o because_o he_o fear_v death_n but_o if_o he_o think_v his_o soul_n be_v extinguish_v by_o death_n that_o after_o death_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o judgement_n no_o hell_n no_o feel_n of_o sorrow_n then_o why_o

rest_n rather_o than_o to_o live_v in_o continual_a sickness_n if_o he_o think_v that_o death_n be_v a_o end_n of_o sorrow_n therefore_o it_o follow_v as_o a_o necessary_a consequent_a that_o he_o fear_v death_n because_o he_o think_v that_o a_o far_o reckon_n be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v in_o this_o life_n that_o great_a pang_n and_o torment_n shall_v ensue_v

whether_o hell_n be_v a_o material_a place_n or_o no_o i_o answer_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v so_o because_o in_o it_o be_v to_o be_v torment_v not_o only_a soul_n but_o also_o body_n it_o
