though_o it_o be_v not_o command_v yet_o be_v accept_v and_o shall_v be_v reward_v by_o he_o other_o there_o be_v who_o grant_n that_o these_o word_n grammatical_o signify_v as_o we_o contend_v and_o that_o eternal_a punishment_n be_v indeed_o threaten_v to_o the_o wicked_a but_o say_v they_o these_o threaten_n be_v intend_v only_o as_o terriculamenta_fw-la or_o bugbear_n to_o child_n to_o terrify_v and_o keep_v people_n in_o awe_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o world_n in_o some_o tolerable_a condition_n of_o quietness_n and_o origen_n himself_o though_o he_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o threaten_n signify_v only_o temporary_a pain_n yet_o he_o say_v that_o such_o mystery_n be_v to_o be_v seal_v up_o and_o conceal_v from_o the_o vulgar_a lest_o wicked_a man_n shall_v rush_v into_o sin_n with_o all_o fury_n and_o licentiousness_n if_o this_o bridle_n be_v take_v off_o who_o by_o the_o opinion_n and_o fear_n of_o eternal_a and_o endless_a punishment_n can_v scarce_o be_v deter_v and_o restrain_v from_o it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o indecorous_a and_o unsuitable_a to_o the_o person_n and_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o make_v use_n of_o such_o sorry_a and_o weak_a mean_n to_o bring_v about_o his_o end_n as_o grave_a man_n can_v hardly_o condescend_v to_o 2._o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o it_o can_v consist_v with_o his_o veracity_n in_o plain_a term_n absolute_o to_o threaten_v and_o affirm_v what_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o do_v indeed_o it_o be_v questionable_a whether_o it_o be_v allowable_a in_o man_n it_o be_v at_o best_a but_o a_o officious_a lie_n for_o it_o be_v a_o speak_v what_o we_o do_v not_o think_v and_o that_o with_o a_o intention_n to_o deceive_v second_o i_o proceed_v now_o to_o a_o second_o objection_n against_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o pain_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o damn_a and_o that_o be_v it_o be_v inconsistency_n with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n what_o proportion_n can_v there_o be_v between_o a_o transient_a and_o temporary_a act_n and_o a_o eternal_a punishment_n the_o most_o rigid_a justice_n can_v exact_v no_o more_o than_o a_o talio_fw-la to_o suffer_v as_o i_o have_v do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d if_o i_o have_v hurt_v or_o grieve_v or_o injure_v any_o man_n to_o be_v punish_v with_o the_o same_o or_o a_o equivalent_a suffering_n if_o i_o have_v take_v any_o unreasonable_a pleasure_n to_o compensate_a it_o with_o a_o answerable_a pain_n indeed_o the_o enormity_n of_o my_o life_n can_v well_o deserve_v so_o much_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o i_o have_v be_v strong_o instigate_v and_o incline_v and_o as_o it_o be_v fatal_o drive_v upon_o all_o the_o evil_n which_o i_o have_v commit_v by_o those_o affection_n and_o appetite_n which_o i_o make_v not_o for_o myself_o but_o find_v in_o myself_o and_o have_v be_v expose_v to_o strong_a and_o almost_o inexpugnable_a temptation_n from_o without_o beset_v with_o snare_n encompass_v about_o with_o innumerable_a evil_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o every_o sin_n injury_n or_o offence_n be_v aggravate_v and_o enhanse_v by_o the_o dignity_n or_o merit_n of_o the_o person_n against_o who_o it_o be_v commit_v so_o parricide_n be_v esteem_v a_o great_a crime_n than_o ordinary_a murder_n and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n avenge_v with_o a_o sore_a punishment_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o laesa_fw-la majestas_fw-la or_o treason_n now_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a person_n and_o sin_n be_v a_o injury_n and_o affront_n to_o he_o as_o be_v a_o violation_n of_o his_o law_n a_o infinite_a punishment_n must_v be_v due_a to_o it_o this_o answer_n dr._n hammond_n in_o his_o practical_a catechism_n lib._n 5._o sect_n 4._o account_n a_o nicety_n and_o unsatisfactory_a as_o also_o that_o other_o common_a answer_n that_o if_o we_o shall_v live_v infinite_o we_o will_v si●_n infinite_o and_o therefore_o give_v we_o another_o which_o in_o his_o discourse_n of_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o christian_a religion_n he_o thus_o brief_o sum_n up_o 2._o that_o the_o choice_n be_v refer_v to_o we_o to_o take_v of_o the_o two_o which_o we_o best_o like_v eternal_a death_n set_v before_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n to_o make_v eternal_a life_n the_o more_o infinite_o reasonable_a for_o we_o to_o choose_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n and_o the_o eternal_a hell_n whensoever_o we_o fall_v into_o it_o be_v perfect_o our_o own_o act_n neither_o force_v on_o we_o by_o any_o absolute_a decree_n of_o god_n nor_o irresistible_a temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o our_o own_o flesh_n but_o as_o true_o our_o wish_n and_o choice_n and_o mad_a purchase_n nay_o much_o more_o true_o and_o proper_o than_o eternal_a heaven_n be_v when_o our_o obedience_n be_v first_o wrought_v by_o god_n grace_n and_o yet_o after_o that_o so_o abundant_o reward_v by_o the_o donor_n it_o be_v certain_a if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n irrational_a it_o be_v in_o we_o unkind_a and_o perverse_a creature_n so_o obstinate_a to_o choose_v what_o god_n so_o passionate_o warn_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o so_o wilful_o to_o die_v when_o god_n swear_v he_o will_v not_o our_o death_n and_o not_o in_o he_o who_o have_v do_v all_o that_o be_v imaginable_a to_o be_v do_v to_o reasonable_a creature_n here_o in_o their_o way_n or_o course_n to_o the_o rescue_v or_o save_v of_o we_o but_o to_o this_o may_v be_v reply_v if_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v unjust_a how_o can_v our_o choose_n of_o it_o make_v it_o just_a how_o can_v it_o be_v just_a to_o annex_v such_o a_o penalty_n as_o eternal_a hell_n to_o a_o short_a and_o transient_a offence_n suppose_v a_o prince_n shall_v make_v a_o law_n that_o whosoever_o do_v not_o rise_v up_o and_o bow_v himself_o before_o a_o old_a man_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n with_o torment_n and_o one_o of_o his_o subject_n know_o shall_v transgress_v this_o law_n upon_o some_o great_a temptation_n will_v it_o not_o be_v account_v cruelty_n in_o the_o prince_n to_o execute_v this_o law_n upon_o he_o law_n may_v be_v unjust_a upon_o account_n of_o disproportionate_a penalty_n neither_o do_v our_o choice_n much_o help_n the_o matter_n for_o that_o be_v but_o a_o effect_n of_o our_o error_n or_o folly_n or_o if_o you_o will_v madness_n which_o do_v as_o little_o deserve_v eternal_a death_n as_o the_o sin_n commit_v do_v if_o any_o man_n be_v dissatisfy_v with_o the_o precedent_n answer_v all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o add_v further_o be_v that_o before_o this_o sentence_n adjudge_v to_o eternal_a death_n be_v pronounce_v against_o he_o and_o execute_v upon_o he_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o revelation_n make_v as_o shall_v convince_v and_o satisfy_v he_o of_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o and_o this_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o intimate_v rom._n 2.5_o when_o he_o call_v the_o great_a day_n of_o doom_n the_o day_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n then_o shall_v be_v make_v appear_v what_o now_o to_o our_o dim-sighted_a reason_n be_v not_o penetrable_a how_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o for_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v fatal_o determine_v to_o evil_a by_o the_o strength_n of_o temptation_n and_o the_o violence_n of_o unruly_a and_o headstrong_a passion_n and_o appetite_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v motive_n and_o consideration_n sufficient_a to_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o resist_v and_o repel_v to_o conquer_v and_o overcome_v the_o most_o allure_a and_o fascinate_v temptation_n the_o most_o urge_v and_o importunate_a appetite_n or_o affection_n such_o be_v certain_a shame_n and_o disgrace_n and_o that_o not_o long_o to_o come_v eternal_a infamy_n and_o dishonour_n present_a death_n strong_a fear_n and_o dread_n of_o approach_a death_n or_o sad_a and_o intolerable_a pain_n or_o calamity_n now_o the_o divine_a threaten_n be_v of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o formidable_a evil_n and_o misery_n that_o humane_a nature_n be_v capable_a of_o suffer_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o but_o firm_o believe_v and_o apprehend_v they_o will_v be_v of_o force_n sufficient_a to_o

there_o remain_v yet_o a_o three_o objection_n against_o a_o eternal_a hell_n and_o that_o be_v that_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o divine_a goodness_n for_o the_o unbeliever_n will_v say_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o notion_n and_o idea_n i_o have_v of_o god_n to_o conceive_v he_o to_o be_v so_o angry_a and_o furious_a a_o be_v how_o can_v it_o stand_v with_o infinite_a goodness_n to_o make_v a_o creature_n that_o he_o fore-knew_a will_v be_v eternal_o miserable_a we_o man_n account_v it_o a_o piece_n
