rather_o that_o godly_a christian_n may_v the_o better_a understand_v how_o to_o deal_v with_o these_o vain_a excuse_n when_o they_o meet_v with_o they_o which_o will_v be_v daily_o if_o they_o deal_v

must_v go_v straight_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o our_o light_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o have_v any_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o it_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o there_o

of_o nature_n such_o as_o be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v without_o law_n i_o find_v also_o that_o they_o have_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n their_o conscience_n also_o

to_o the_o different_a condition_n of_o they_o that_o be_v judge_v to_o they_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o justification_n and_o adjudication_n to_o everlasting_a glory_n to_o they_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n to_o everlasting_a punishment_n the_o sentence_n on_o each_o of_o these_o contain_v both_o the_o state_n which_o they_o be_v judge_v to_o and_o the_o reason_n or_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n to_o that_o state_n for_o as_o god_n will_v not_o judge_v any_o to_o life_n or_o death_n without_o just_a cause_n so_o he_o will_v publish_v this_o cause_n in_o his_o sentence_n as_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o judge_n to_o do_v if_o you_o say_v christ_n will_v not_o use_v a_o voice_n let_v it_o satisfy_v that_o though_o we_o know_v not_o the_o manner_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v it_o but_o by_o mental_a discovery_n as_o he_o show_v man_n what_o shall_v everlasting_o befall_v they_o so_o he_o will_v show_v they_o why_o it_o shall_v so_o befall_v they_o 1._o the_o sentence_n on_o they_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n will_v contain_v 1._o their_o justification_n and_o adjudication_n to_o

in_o christ_n do_v not_o perfect_o subdue_v they_o but_o now_o they_o be_v vanquish_v all_o for_o ever_o he_o that_o once_o have_v hear_v his_o redeemer_n in_o judgement_n call_v he_o bless_v will_v
