of_o his_o faithful_a one_o yet_o they_o may_v so_o provoke_v he_o as_o he_o sometime_o take_v vengeance_n on_o their_o invention_n inflict_v very_o severe_a punishment_n on_o their_o misbehaviour_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v holiness_n 1._o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n which_o allow_v not_o sin_n in_o any_o one_o but_o show_v some_o displeasure_n against_o it_o wherever_o he_o find_v it_o even_o where_o he_o love_v the_o person_n and_o so_o pardon_v for_o his_o belove_a son_n sake_n yet_o he_o will_v make_v they_o know_v their_o sin_n be_v odious_a to_o he_o and_o they_o shall_v feel_v the_o smart_n of_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o at_o all_o be_v apprehensive_a of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n and_o his_o detestation_n of_o sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o take_v vengeance_n upon_o some_o transgrestion_n in_o some_o person_n and_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o we_o be_v but_o little_a apprehensive_a of_o it_o when_o we_o feel_v no_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o for_o our_o sinful_a carriage_n he_o therefore_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o holiness_n do_v not_o altogether_o spare_v sin_n no_o not_o in_o his_o own_o 2._o justice_n as_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n so_o his_o justice_n call_v for_o it_o namely_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o see_v his_o holy_a and_o righteous_a law_n break_v and_o give_v the_o transgressor_n no_o remembrance_n for_o it_o whether_o the_o transgression_n be_v more_o immediate_o against_o himself_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o lawgiver_n or_o against_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n if_o any_o of_o his_o servant_n so_o far_o forget_v themselves_o and_o he_o as_o to_o dishonour_v he_o by_o trespass_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v he_o or_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o reflect_v upon_o his_o majesty_n it_o be_v most_o just_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o deal_v with_o as_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o they_o and_o all_o man_n that_o god_n be_v not_o one_o fit_a to_o be_v abuse_v any_o

they_o misbehave_v themselves_o one_o to_o another_o it_o be_v most_o just_a that_o god_n shall_v distribute_v justice_n among_o they_o so_o far_o as_o to_o discountenance_v the_o wrong_a doer_n and_o make_v he_o afraid_a of_o do_v the_o like_a again_o that_o god_n shall_v so_o set_v they_o to_o right_n when_o they_o be_v quarrel_v one_o with_o another_o or_o abuse_v one_o another_o as_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v he_o give_v they_o no_o such_o leave_n and_o that_o his_o law_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v not_o give_v in_o vain_a father_n only_o in_o all_o this_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o the_o justice_n we_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o a_o judge_n that_o look_v bare_o to_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o desert_n of_o the_o offence_n but_o the_o justice_n of_o a_o father_n who_o though_o he_o scourge_v and_o correct_v his_o child_n even_o to_o blood_n sometime_o for_o untowardness_n relate_v to_o himself_o or_o to_o any_o of_o the_o family_n or_o even_a stranger_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o not_o to_o satisfy_v his_o own_o spleen_n nor_o in_o malice_n against_o his_o child_n but_o to_o make_v he_o sensible_a of_o his_o fault_n and_o careful_a to_o amend_v and_o to_o show_v himself_o in_o his_o paternal_a authority_n right_o dispense_v favour_n and_o correction_n according_a to_o the_o behaviour_n of_o every_o one_o of_o
