second_o they_o instruct_v we_o to_o lay_v god_n extraordinary_a judgement_n upon_o other_o or_o other_o unusual_a sign_n of_o the_o time_n unto_o our_o own_o heart_n for_o these_o be_v the_o usual_a

of_o other_o be_v a_o foul_a fault_n even_o in_o best_a man_n all_o man_n good_a and_o bad_a do_v agree_v but_o not_o to_o censure_v or_o esteem_v of_o other_o on_o who_o god_n have_v show_v notorious_a judgement_n as_o more_o notorious_a sinner_n than_o those_o which_o escape_v his_o judgement_n this_o may_v seem_v for_o diverse_a reason_n questionable_a first_o as_o all_o sober-minded_n man_n agree_v it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o plague_n or_o punish_v any_o but_o for_o some_o sin_n or_o other_o and_o if_o thus_o to_o deal_v with_o man_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o his_o goodness_n it_o must_v be_v a_o branch_n of_o his_o justice_n to_o recompense_v extraordinary_a and_o grievous_a sinner_n with_o extraordinary_a and_o grievous_a punishment_n what_o fault_n be_v it_o then_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o cause_n by_o the_o effect_n why_o may_v we_o not_o censure_v they_o for_o notorious_a sinner_n or_o more_o grievous_a sinner_n than_o ourselves_o who_o the_o righteous_a lord_n have_v remarkable_o judge_v or_o grievous_o punish_v if_o to_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o all_o his_o way_n be_v the_o irresistible_a rule_n of_o eternal_a and_o

every_o part_n of_o these_o quere_n will_v sway_v much_o with_o any_o reasonable_a christian_a if_o there_o be_v no_o punishment_n reserve_v by_o god_n eternal_a justice_n for_o the_o life_n to_o

well_o all_o those_o which_o be_v dead_a as_o those_o which_o he_o shall_v find_v alive_a at_o his_o second_o come_v we_o can_v by_o rule_v of_o faith_n or_o reason_n expect_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v reward_v according_a to_o all_o his_o way_n before_o that_o last_o and_o final_a judgement_n we_o may_v not_o presume_v that_o any_o man_n the_o least_o sinner_n that_o die_v in_o his_o
