apostle_n say_v 5.3_o say_v ephes_n 5.3_o to_o name_n be_v unseemly_a this_o man_n i_o say_v ought_v not_o to_o misdoubt_v of_o salvation_n though_o such_o wickedness_n environ_v he_o even_o to_o the_o last_o gasp_n mercy_n the_o anger_n of_o god_n be_v not_o passable_a and_o therefore_o though_o we_o sin_n yet_o his_o wrath_n may_v be_v change_v into_o mercy_n but_o harken_v what_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o be_v if_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v a_o affection_n that_o do_v work_v a_o passion_n we_o may_v right_o say_v that_o the_o flame_n of_o it_o kindle_v with_o so_o many_o &_o such_o evil_n may_v not_o be_v quench_v but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o truth_n teach_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v void_a of_o passion_n we_o must_v learn_v that_o though_o god_n punish_v though_o he_o plague_n he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o a_o wrathful_a passion_n but_o with_o unspeakable_a gentleness_n go_v about_o to_o cure_v we_o not_o to_o confound_v we_o and_o therefore_o with_o

himself_o but_o to_o amend_v us._n and_o if_o any_o persist_v in_o hardness_n as_o the_o man_n that_o turn_v his_o eye_n from_o the_o light_n damnifi_v nothing_o the_o light_n but_o damn_v himself_o to_o darkness_n so_o he_o that_o contemn_v virtue_n through_o a_o hart_n that_o can_v not_o repent_v estrange_v himself_o from_o salvation_n and_o as_o a_o physician_n that_o suffer_v wrong_a at_o

god_n be_v willing_a to_o have_v we_o return_v when_o we_o be_v become_v stark_o wood_n be_v not_o greedy_a of_o vengeance_n for_o our_o trespass_n but_o desirous_a to_o heal_v our_o old_a &_o

lest_o you_o shall_v stagger_v in_o the_o matter_n we_o be_v able_a to_o avouche_v it_o out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v i_o what_o more_o wicked_a body_n be_v there_o ever_o than_o the_o
