from_o god_n law_n the_o content_n whereof_o be_v all_o equal_a holy_a just_a and_o good_a in_o the_o law_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o three_o thing_n each_o of_o which_o be_v conclusive_a of_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n 1._o god_n judgement_n which_o be_v always_o according_a to_o truth_n and_o he_o have_v judge_v that_o whoever_o of_o we_o in_o the_o least_o tittle_n do_v break_v so_o equal_a so_o holy_a just_a and_o good_a a_o law_n we_o do_v deserve_v his_o curse_n if_o he_o have_v not_o thus_o judge_v he_o will_v not_o have_v add_v this_o sanction_n to_o his_o law_n and_o say_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o god_n judge_v this_o but_o a_o meet_a and_o deserve_a punishment_n and_o shall_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v not_o do_v what_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v do_v that_o god_n shall_v not_o act_v according_a to_o his_o own_o judgement_n hence_o i_o think_v we_o may_v conclude_v god_n justifi_v none_o of_o we_o without_o punish_v our_o sin_n 2._o god_n truth_n god_n have_v say_v in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n and_o curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o do_v not_o his_o truth_n engage_v he_o to_o execute_v his_o justice_n in_o punish_v sin_n shall_v mercy_n offer_v to_o pronounce_v any_o man_n absolve_v his_o sin_n unpunished_a truth_n will_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o mercy_n and_o say_v hold_v i_o have_v say_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o and_o i_o can_v but_o be_v true_a hence_o i_o conclude_v no_o offender_n be_v justify_v but_o his_o sin_n be_v
