be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o without_o end_n or_o measure_n as_o his_o godhead_n be_v so_o also_o his_o justice_n be_v and_o these_o two_o be_v the_o two_o arm_n as_o it_o be_v of_o

to_o sh●w_v his_o fury_n upon_o a_o three_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o these_o punishment_n may_v be_v the_o marvellous_a patience_n and_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n

now_o if_o all_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v requite_v with_o severity_n of_o punishment_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v upon_o the_o obstinate_a it_o may_v seem_v against_o the_o law_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n and_o one_o arm_n in_o god_n may_v seem_v long_o than_o the_o other_o paul_n do_v touch_v this_o reason_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o say_v do_v thou_o not_o
