that_o we_o see_v god_n be_v a_o fire_n both_o to_o the_o wicked_a and_o to_o the_o godly_a to_o the_o wicked_a he_o be_v a_o penetrate_a torture_a fire_n and_o they_o be_v combustible_a matter_n for_o the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n to_o prey_n upon_o but_o to_o the_o godly_a he_o be_v a_o purify_n and_o cherish_v fire_n only_o and_o as_o lightning_n do_v not_o only_o cleanse_v

may_v so_o call_v they_o many_o invent_a torture_n yet_o the_o high_a and_o most_o intolerable_a misery_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v from_o the_o immediate_a infliction_n and_o infusion_n of_o the_o

punishment_n which_o we_o call_v poena_fw-la damni_fw-la or_o the_o punishment_n of_o loss_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o denote_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o their_o poena_fw-la sensus_fw-la or_o the_o punishment_n of_o sense_n not_o that_o their_o punishment_n shall_v only_o be_v to_o be_v for_o ever_o banish_v from_o his_o presence_n but_o that_o this_o presence_n shall_v be_v active_a in_o

it_o be_v a_o fall_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_n god_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n observable_a in_o the_o word_n and_o that_o be_v the_o dreadfulness_n of_o this_o vengeance_n infer_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o author_n and_o inflicter_n of_o it_o for_o because_o it_o be_v divine_a vengeance_n and_o a_o fall_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a

of_o this_o wrath._n and_o then_o consider_v other_o demonstration_n of_o it_o and_o here_o first_o consider_v that_o all_o other_o vengeance_n be_v as_o nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o that_o which_o god_n take_v on_o a_o damn_a soul_n you_o may_v possible_o have_v hear_v of_o strange_a and_o horrid_a revenge_n that_o some_o cruel_a man_n have_v carve_v out_o unto_o themselves_o put_v
