since_o the_o magistrate_n office_n be_v to_o punish_v the_o evill-doer_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v he_o he_o can_v punish_v he_o and_o unless_o he_o be_v inform_v he_o can_v know_v he_o and_o

increase_v their_o judgement_n well_o then_o the_o magistrate_n duty_n it_o be_v to_o punish_v but_o here_o you_o will_v first_o ask_v i_o why_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o punishment_n and_o praise_n set_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o evill-doer_n before_o the_o praise_n etc._n etc._n which_o seem_v to_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o god_n method_n the_o angel_n cry_v in_o the_o

before_o hurt_v here_o be_v a_o prevent_n of_o the_o harm_n of_o the_o godly_a before_o god_n will_v inflict_v any_o punishment_n upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o so_o the_o angel_n can_v do_v nothing_o till_o lot_n be_v out_o of_o sodom_n the_o good_a man_n must_v be_v praise_v must_v be_v deliver_v before_o the_o punishment_n of_o those_o evill-doer_n why_o then_o do_v not_o the_o magistrate_n imitate_v god_n why_o do_v he_o punish_v first_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v to_o intimate_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o subject_n who_o be_v so_o bad_a that_o if_o he_o have_v a_o magistrate_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o that_o magistrate_n can_v do_v be_v to_o punish_v or_o to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o many_o magistrate_n who_o have_v rather_o be_v fear_v than_o love_v quibus_fw-la

evill-doer_n and_o but_o praise_n to_o the_o good_a but_o punishment_n be_v somewhat_o real_a when_o praise_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o word_n be_v word_n sufficient_a reward_n for_o the_o well-doer_n i_o take_v it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v thus_o express_v himself_o either_o because_o that_o the_o covetousness_n of_o great_a one_o be_v such_o that_o at_o most_o they_o do_v but_o praise_n they_o do_v not_o bountiful_o reward_v the_o well-doer_n or_o he_o so_o speak_v to_o raise_v up_o the_o weldoer_n to_o the_o expectation_n of_o a_o heavenly_a crown_n &_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o will_v have_v he_o content_v himself_o though_o for_o all_o his_o good_a deed_n upon_o earth_n he_o have_v no_o other_o reward_n than_o praise_n or_o last_o praise_n may_v be_v take_v for_o reward_n in_o general_a since_o whosoever_o be_v reward_v for_o any_o good_a act_n be_v in_o that_o reward_n praise_v the_o magistrate_n and_o all_o good_a man_n praise_v he_o who_o they_o see_v worthy_a of_o a_o reward_n for_o goodness_n and_o thus_o to_o reward_v the_o good_a the_o magistrate_n be_v ordain_v where_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a this_o scripture_n reason_n christian_n and_o heathen_a authority_n make_v good_a all_o agree_v in_o this_o verdict_n that_o the_o great_a be_v to_o respect_v the_o good_a that_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n be_v to_o praise_v the_o well-doer_n what_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o those_o great_a one_o who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o praise_v that_o they_o disgrace_n from_o reward_v that_o they_o injure_v the_o well-doer_n such_o as_o caligula_n
