judgement_n rev_n 13.8_o and_o rev._n 17.8_o how_o come_v man_n to_o be_v ensnare_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n and_o carry_v away_o with_o that_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n they_o be_v give_v

second_o they_o be_v a_o fearful_a earnest_n of_o a_o man_n damnation_n 2_o thes_n 2.12_o he_o give_v they_o up_o to_o believe_v that_o lie_n that_o all_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v who_o believe_v

by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n upon_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o earnest_n of_o heaven_n so_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n on_o the_o soul_n in_o

the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o judgement_n hold_v a_o proportion_n unto_o the_o sin_n now_o the_o more_o spiritual_a sin_n be_v and_o the_o more_o spiritual_a ordinance_n be_v the_o more_o spiritual_a must_v the_o judgement_n need_v be_v now_o as_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n nor_o no_o ordinance_n so_o spiritual_a as_o those_o under_o the_o gospel_n so_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n that_o be_v so_o spiritual_a and_o therefore_o as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o hate_v spiritual_a sin_n most_o so_o it_o be_v most_o agreeable_a unto_o he_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o have_v the_o main_a hand_n in_o the_o sin_n to_o load_v that_o with_o spiritual_a judgement_n but_o why_o will_v the_o lord_n punish_v the_o neglect_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o a_o perpetual_a
