of_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n and_o shame_n and_o at_o last_o we_o die_v and_o turn_v to_o dust_n 3._o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o plain_o that_o we_o all_o die_v in_o adam_n even_o that_o death_n

to_o we_o take_v not_o away_o their_o natural_a evil_n but_o only_o produce_v by_o it_o as_o by_o a_o occasion_n a_o great_a good_a doubtless_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o sin_n it_o

contradiction_n because_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o suffer_v it_o be_v to_o we_o evil_a and_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o curse_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o god_n shall_v not_o do_v

of_o the_o threaten_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o be_v not_o whole_o or_o chief_o in_o wrath_n but_o as_o the_o common_a love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o wicked_a be_v mix_v with_o hatred_n in_o their_o suffering_n and_o the_o hatred_n prevail_v above_o the_o love_n so_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o godly_a proceed_v from_o a_o mixture_n of_o love_n and_o anger_n and_o so_o have_v in_o they_o a_o mixture_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o the_o love_n overcome_v the_o anger_n therefore_o the_o good_a be_v great_a than_o the_o evil_a and_o so_o death_n have_v lose_v its_o sting_n 1_o cor._n

thus_o 1._o the_o law_n of_o work_n be_v not_o abrogate_a or_o repeal_v but_o dispense_v with_o or_o relax_v a_o dispensation_n be_v as_o grotius_n define_v it_o a_o act_n of_o a_o superior_a
