particular_o with_o sharp_a sting_n and_o reflection_n of_o conscience_n if_o any_o shall_v now_o ask_v i_o why_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v all_o sin_n alike_o in_o this_o life_n and_o every_o small_a transgression_n as_o severe_o as_o he_o do_v david_n number_v the_o people_n i_o may_v answer_v he_o by_o another_o question_n namely_o why_o do_v not_o magistrate_n put_v to_o death_n all_o condemn_a person_n thief_n and_o other_o but_o only_o transport_v some_o whilst_o they_o hang_v other_o and_o while_o some_o be_v execute_v within_o a_o day_n or_o two_o give_v other_o a_o long_a reprieve_n and_o possible_o in_o conclusion_n a_o pardon_n be_v there_o any_o injustice_n in_o so_o do_v no_o sure_o for_o justice_n and_o mercy_n do_v not_o interfere_v but_o do_v sweet_o accord_v and_o kiss_v

it_o trespass_v not_o upon_o the_o bound_n or_o landmark_n of_o justice_n take_v it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o pharaoh_n who_o though_o he_o hang_v his_o baker_n that_o have_v displease_v he_o be_v not_o unjust_a though_o his_o pleasure_n be_v to_o lift_v up_o the_o head_n of_o his_o butler_n who_o possible_o be_v in_o the_o same_o transgression_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o same_o prison_n with_o he_o not_o upon_o the_o gallow_n as_o he_o do_v the_o baker_n but_o in_o the_o preferment_n of_o his_o court_n a_o creditor_n who_o have_v two_o debtor_n shall_v cast_v one_o of_o they_o into_o prison_n who_o all_o thing_n consider_v deserve_v to_o be_v so_o deal_v with_o be_v not_o unjust_a though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o shall_v free_o forgive_v the_o other_o as_o great_a or_o great_a a_o debt_n it_o be_v high_o comport_v with_o wisdom_n and_o the_o end_n of_o government_n that_o small_a sin_n be_v sometime_o severe_o punish_v especial_o at_o the_o first_o make_v law_n to_o give_v they_o sanction_n so_o god_n command_v he_o to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n who_o gather_v stick_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o send_v fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v nadab_n and_o

small_a punishment_n that_o the_o work_n and_o reward_n as_o well_o bad_a as_o good_a shall_v bear_v a_o manifest_a proportion_n each_o to_o other_o but_o the_o riddle_n of_o all_o riddle_n as_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o be_v that_o which_o be_v yet_o behind_o namely_o why_o do_v god_n sometime_o suffer_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n to_o be_v quiet_a and_o not_o to_o smite_v they_o at_o all_o after_o they_o have_v sin_v with_o a_o very_a high_a hand_n when_o yet_o the_o conscience_n of_o those_o very_a man_n be_v sometime_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o fall_v foul_a upon_o they_o for_o
