A30629	Cavsa dei, or, An apology for God wherein the perpetuity of infernal torments is evidenced and divine both goodness and justice, that notwithstanding, defended : the nature of punishments in general, and of infernal ones in particular displayed : the evangelical righteousness explicated and setled : the divinity of the Gentiles both as to things to be believed, and things to be practised, adumbrated, and the wayes whereby it was communicated, plainly discover'd / by Richard Burthogge ...

order_n to_o the_o state_v and_o enlighten_v of_o the_o present_a point_n i_o will_v offer_v all_o my_o notion_n and_o conception_n about_o it_o under_o three_o head_n first_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o establish_v this_o truth_n that_o eternal_a punishment_n be_v not_o inflict_v but_o on_o the_o obstinate_a and_o irreclaimable_a second_o i_o will_v demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v but_o just_a to_o punish_v they_o eternal_o that_o be_v obstinate_a and_o irreclaimable_a last_o i_o shall_v evidence_n there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o goodness_n in_o inflict_v of_o eternal_a punishment_n on_o

but_o be_v manifest_a to_o all_o that_o sober_o consider_v that_o the_o divine_a heart_n as_o well_o as_o divine_a arm_n be_v ever_o open_a to_o the_o penitent_a and_o convert_v and_o that_o the_o great_a god_n resent_v as_o he_o be_v of_o injury_n and_o wrong_n yet_o show_v not_o his_o wrath_n for_o any_o but_o on_o the_o vessel_n of_o dishonour_n those_o who_o he_o have_v first_o endure_v with_o much_o long-suffering_a who_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o obligation_n on_o they_o and_o all_o his_o endearment_n audacious_o persist_v as_o long_o as_o life_n enable_v to_o provoke_v he_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o express_a or_o more_o full_a than_o be_v the_o declaration_n which_o he_o make_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o penitent_a if_o the_o wicked_a will_v turn_v from_o all_o his_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v and_o keep_v all_o my_o statute_n and_o do_v that_o which_o be_v lawful_a and_o right_a 23._o he_o shall_v sure_o live_v he_o shall_v not_o die_v all_o his_o
