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 ...

such_o as_o your_o own_o be_v sufficient_a to_o account_v to_o any_o that_o reflect_v upon_o it_o for_o the_o difficulty_n he_o may_v find_v his_o thought_n to_o make_v to_o conceive_v it_o

your_o full_a satisfaction_n in_o the_o present_a scruple_n and_o a_o impregnable_a and_o clear_a assertion_n of_o divine_a godness_n as_o well_o as_o justice_n which_o also_o be_v concern_v from_o

homer_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o hell_n be_v of_o a_o vast_a extent_n and_o that_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strict_a and_o narrow_a as_o the_o
