A30629 Cavsa dei, or, An apology for God wherein the perpetuity of infernal torments is evidenced and divine both goodness and justice, that notwithstanding, defended : the nature of punishments in general, and of infernal ones in particular displayed : the evangelical righteousness explicated and setled : the divinity of the Gentiles both as to things to be believed, and things to be practised, adumbrated, and the wayes whereby it was communicated, plainly discover'd / by Richard Burthogge ...

gehennalem_fw-la sustinuisse_fw-la sed_fw-la damnandorum_fw-la tantum_fw-la very_o the_o use_n of_o this_o distinction_n here_o be_v very_o great_a since_o those_o that_o be_v actual_o damn_a sin_n far_o otherwise_o than_o the_o elect_n that_o be_v to_o be_v so_o so_o that_o eternal_a torment_n be_v in_o justice_n due_a to_o they_o but_o to_o these_o extreme_a torment_n indeed_o be_v but_o not_o eternal_a this_o be_v clear_a in_o a_o simile_n imprisonment_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o debt_n but_o be_v just_o due_a to_o he_o that_o abide_v in_o debt_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o elect_a and_o reprobate_n of_o which_o the_o former_a pay_v the_o debt_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o renew_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n cease_v from_o sin_n be_v free_v from_o that_o eternal_a prison_n of_o hell_n in_o which_o the_o damn_a be_v torment_v for_o ever_o because_o they_o be_v for_o ever_o in_o debt_n and_o abide_v for_o ever_o pollute_v with_o the_o filth_n and_o with_o the_o gild_n of_o sin_n the_o case_n than_o be_v thus_o christ_n suffer_v only_o for_o the_o elect_n who_o be_v to_o be_v damn_v to_o who_o sin_n cease_v by_o repentance_n not_o eternity_n but_o only_a extremity_n of_o punishment_n be_v due_a so_o that_o justice_n require_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v endure_v the_o eternity_n but_o only_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n this_o be_v the_o notion_n of_o the_o learned_a parker_n which_o yet_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v i_o can_v entertain_v a_o thought_n of_o but_o with_o repugnance_n for_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v very_o harsh_a if_o not_o direct_o contrary_a to_o sacred_a scripture_n that_o death_n eternal_a shall_v not_o be_v the_o due_a of_o every_o sin_n for_o though_o indeed_o perpetual_a torment_n be_v not_o inflict_v on_o every_o sinner_n and_o for_o every_o sin_n yet_o they_o be_v deserve_v and_o merit_v by_o every_o sin_n and_o due_a to_o every_o sinner_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n death_n eternal_a for_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o if_o almighty_a god_n be_v please_v to_o forgive_v and_o pardon_v upon_o repentance_n it_o be_v his_o freegrace_n and_o not_o his_o justice_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o well-ordered_a and_o immutable_a covenant_n wherein_o he_o have_v oblige_v and_o tie_v himself_o to_o do_v so_o so_o indeed_o he_o be_v faithful_a to_o forgive_v nor_o be_v hell_n a_o sheriff_n ward_n in_o which_o the_o debtor_n be_v imprison_v till_o he_o pay_v his_o debt_n for_o imprisonment_n on_o account_n of_o debt_n be_v not_o so_o intend_v as_o a_o punishment_n upon_o the_o debtor_n for_o not_o have_v pay_v as_o to_o be_v in_o lieu_n of_o payment_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o debt_n but_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o necessitate_v he_o and_o to_o compel_v he_o to_o pay_v it_o whereas_o all_o infernal_a torment_n be_v true_o penal_a design_v for_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o compulsion_n to_o make_v the_o prisoner_n pay_v a_o debt_n which_o when_o he_o be_v in_o hell_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v since_o that_o design_n be_v irrational_a in_o vain_a be_v those_o mean_n which_o be_v refer_v to_o end_n that_o they_o can_v never_o compass_v nor_o can_v it_o consist_v with_o wisdom_n to_o institute_n such_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n be_v debt_n nor_o be_v there_o be_v other_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v to_o constrain_v the_o prisoner_n to_o pay_v if_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o lie_v in_o prison_n till_o man_n pay_v the_o utmost_a farthing_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n to_o be_v undergo_v in_o hell_n this_o be_v the_o only_a debt_n there_o to_o be_v pay_v of_o which_o no_o abatement_n can_v be_v have_v it_o be_v expect_v to_o the_o utmost_a farthing_n and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o that_o phrase_n import_v thus_o you_o see_v i_o differ_v both_o from_o this_o and_o other_o excellent_a and_o learned_a person_n and_o why_o i_o do_v so_o about_o the_o ground_n on_o which_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o infernal_a punishment_n be_v raise_v i_o say_v the_o perpetuity_n for_o though_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v infernal_a punishment_n to_o be_v perpetual_a yet_o i_o can_v easy_o be_v bring_v to_o own_v they_o to_o be_v infinite_a but_o with_o distinction_n they_o be_v not_o infinite_a in_o essence_n or_o be_v '_o but_o only_a in_o duration_n or_o continuance_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v infinite_a in_o any_o sense_n but_o because_o they_o be_v endless_a for_o questionless_a the_o torment_n which_o the_o damn_a suffer_v in_o hell_n be_v intrinsical_o and_o subjective_o finite_a and_o as_o finite_a as_o the_o sin_n themselves_o intrinsical_o and_o subjective_o be_v for_o which_o they_o be_v inflict_v for_o since_o all_o reception_n be_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n and_o capacity_n of_o what_o receive_v the_o torment_n pain_n or_o punishment_n inflict_v on_o a_o finite_a creature_n and_o receive_v by_o it_o neither_o be_v intrinsical_o and_o subjective_o infinite_a nor_o indeed_o can_v possible_o be_v so_o that_o if_o the_o sin_n subjective_o and_o intrinsical_o be_v finite_a the_o punishment_n ordain_v be_v not_o subjective_o and_o intrinsical_o infinite_a which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v and_o this_o remind_n i_o of_o the_o four_o thing_n i_o promise_v namely_o to_o represent_v express_o the_o proportion_n between_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o it_o and_o this_o proportion_n be_v manifest_a for_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n subjective_o be_v finite_a and_o unequal_a as_o well_o as_o finite_a the_o punishment_n of_o that_o sin_n subjective_o be_v also_o finite_a and_o unequal_a as_o well_o as_o finite_a there_o be_v degree_n of_o torment_n in_o hell_n as_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o gild_n in_o sin_n and_o if_o the_o punishment_n be_v infinite_a protensively_n and_o in_o duration_n it_o be_v because_o the_o sin_n be_v so_o objective_o and_o in_o aggravation_n and_o infinite_a objective_n aggravation_n for_o such_o be_v that_o of_o sin_n as_o we_o have_v former_o evidence_v it_o can_v be_v proportion_v in_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o mere_o finite_a be_v but_o by_o its_o infinite_a duration_n and_o extent_n once_o the_o sin_n be_v some_o way_n infinite_a but_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o mere_o finite_a be_v neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o wise_a so_o but_o in_o duration_n wherefore_o the_o punishment_n will_v be_v unequal_a to_o the_o sin_n if_o as_o this_o be_v infinite_a in_o aggravation_n that_o be_v not_o also_o so_o in_o duration_n but_o this_o i_o hint_v before_o and_o now_o sir_n upon_o the_o whole_a you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o judge_v what_o inequality_n there_o be_v or_o what_o unjustice_n or_o rather_o what_o great_a equality_n and_o justice_n in_o divine_a proceed_v wherein_o you_o can_v but_o receive_v abundant_a satisfaction_n as_o to_o the_o equity_n and_o righteousness_n thereof_o if_o to_o what_o consideration_n have_v already_o be_v present_v you_o concern_v it_o you_o but_o add_v the_o follow_v first_o that_o the_o proportion_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o distributive_a or_o as_o aristotle_n call_v it_o dianemetic_n justice_n be_v not_o arithmetical_a but_o geometrical_a or_o as_o they_o love_v to_o speak_v the_o medium_n it_o observe_v be_v not_o medium_n rei_fw-la but_o personae_fw-la that_o be_v that_o person_n be_v as_o much_o consider_v in_o the_o distribution_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n as_o thing_n themselves_o yea_o and_o more_o second_o that_o in_o proportion_v of_o punishment_n to_o make_v they_o just_a and_o equal_a it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o their_o duration_n shall_v exact_o be_v adjust_v unto_o that_o of_o the_o sin_n be_v a_o short_a and_o momentany_a sin_n if_o aggravate_v in_o the_o circumstance_n may_v in_o great_a justice_n have_v allot_v to_o it_o long_o and_o tedious_a punishment_n a_o truth_n so_o obvious_a that_o be_v it_o not_o unnecessary_a i_o may_v abundant_o enlarge_v in_o instance_v it_o and_o i_o will_v have_v offer_v somewhat_o of_o my_o own_o in_o that_o kind_n but_o that_o the_o grave_n st._n austin_n from_o who_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o you_o will_v take_v it_o better_o 11._o have_v happy_o prevent_v i_o he_o tell_v we_o some_o of_o the_o adversary_n of_o god_n city_n hold_v it_o
