gate_n justice_n bring_v peace_n contrary_a to_o the_o sinful_a thought_n of_o many_o who_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o spoil_v all_o and_o we_o have_v the_o rather_o cause_v to_o

their_o banishment_n their_o death_n may_v still_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n justice_n be_v call_v by_o aristotle_n hesperus_n the_o glorious_a star_n yea_o it_o be_v the_o sun_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o consider_v if_o you_o stand_v up_o like_o phinehas_n with_o pure_a zeal_n to_o do_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o may_v be_v the_o war_n shall_v cease_v god_n anger_n shall_v

abuse_v man_n patience_n one_o end_n of_o justice_n be_v to_o strike_v terror_n into_o other_o that_o they_o may_v be_v afraid_a and_o when_o you_o sinful_o acquit_v man_n if_o they_o do_v

the_o appointment_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v bless_v by_o he_o to_o the_o awaken_n and_o rouse_a of_o man_n conscience_n it_o be_v to_o make_v they_o see_v their_o pride_n their_o wickedness_n god_n have_v suffer_v all_o this_o to_o fall_v upon_o they_o in_o mercy_n to_o their_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o very_a uncharitable_a opinion_n of_o the_o socinian_o that_o none_o of_o those_o who_o die_v
