the_o future_a punishment_n in_o another_o life_n my_o reason_n for_o this_o opinion_n be_v ground_v upon_o that_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o all_o religion_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v fare_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v 5.10_o 2_o cor._n 5.10_o according_a to_o the_o thing_n do_v by_o they_o in_o this_o life_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o they_o be_v bad_a which_o rule_n
