truth_n of_o this_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o affirm_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o thou_o be_v no_o christian_a but_o a_o very_a infidel_n if_o thou_o do_v believe_v it_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o thou_o seek_v no_o more_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n yea_o that_o thou_o hate_v to_o know_v god_n and_o affect_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o he_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o thou_o live_v in_o disobedience_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o resolve_v so_o to_o do_v though_o thou_o covet_v thy_o neighbour_n ox_n and_o his_o sheep_n yet_o thou_o will_v not_o steal_v they_o though_o thou_o malice_n and_o hate_v thy_o neighbour_n to_o the_o death_n yet_o thou_o will_v not_o murder_v he_o because_o thou_o persuade_v thyself_o that_o thou_o shall_v be_v hang_v for_o it_o if_o thou_o do_v so_o and_o though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o possibility_n of_o conceal_v the_o matter_n or_o of_o fly_v from_o the_o judge_n yet_o thou_o will_v not_o put_v it_o to_o the_o adventure_n thou_o say_v thou_o believe_v that_o christ_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n will_v come_v in_o flame_a fire_n to_o punish_v with_o everlasting_a perdition_n those_o which_o know_v not_o god_n and_o which_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o thou_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o despise_v the_o gospel_n which_o plain_o manifest_v that_o thou_o esteem_v of_o this_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o affirm_v as_o a_o old_a wife_n fable_n whatsoever_o thou_o pretend_v to_o the_o contrary_a and_o therefore_o that_o thou_o be_v but_o a_o mask_a infidel_n but_o they_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v this_o doctrine_n shall_v one_o day_n to_o their_o eternal_a horror_n feel_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o let_v so_o many_o of_o we_o as_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n often_o meditate_v of_o this_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v condemn_v to_o lie_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n together_o upon_o a_o soft_a featherbed_n and_o during_o all_o that_o time_n shall_v hear_v nothing_o but_o the_o sweet_a music_n that_o may_v be_v yet_o he_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o die_v a_o dog_n death_n then_o to_o endure_v the_o wearisomeness_n thereof_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n than_o bear_v this_o judgement_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o burn_a lake_n of_o god_n wrath_n in_o unspeakable_a torment_n not_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n but_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o if_o a_o hour_n in_o torment_n seem_v a_o year_n how_o long_o will_v this_o hour_n seem_v that_o shall_v never_o have_v end_n but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v endure_v it_o as_o many_o thousand_o of_o year_n as_o there_o be_v star_n in_o the_o heaven_n or_o drop_n of_o water_n in_o the_o sea_n yet_o he_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o near_o his_o end_n than_o he_o be_v at_o the_o very_a first_o moment_n of_o his_o torment_n those_o that_o be_v but_o common_a and_o indifferent_a wise_a man_n among_o we_o use_v to_o dislike_v and_o condemn_v the_o course_n of_o those_o man_n

mean_n whereof_o their_o liberty_n and_o life_n be_v endanger_v oh_o that_o any_o christian_n than_o shall_v be_v so_o brutish_a and_o without_o understanding_n as_o to_o approve_v either_o in_o themselves_o or_o other_o those_o way_n and_o course_n that_o direct_o lead_v a_o man_n body_n and_o soul_n to_o this_o eternal_a ruin_n from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n the_o three_o argument_n whereby_o he_o amplifi_v the_o revenge_n aforesaid_a be_v from_o the_o place_n wherein_o they_o which_o know_v not_o god_n nor_o obey_v the_o gospel_n

where_o the_o light_n of_o his_o gracious_a countenance_n and_o his_o save_a power_n which_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n shall_v never_o shine_v unto_o they_o so_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o look_v after_o they_o never_o come_v unto_o they_o never_o so_o much_o as_o cast_v his_o eye_n towards_o they_o nor_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v nor_o show_v the_o least_o part_n of_o his_o glorious_a power_n in_o that_o place_n to_o the_o mitigate_a of_o their_o torment_n but_o will_v leave_v they_o altogether_o to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o the_o comfortless_a presence_n of_o damn_a spirit_n where_o they_o shall_v see_v nothing_o but_o horror_n and_o confusion_n nor_o hear_v any_o thing_n but_o howl_v and_o cry_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n without_o the_o
