that_o all_o the_o measure_n of_o justice_n be_v observe_v by_o he_o in_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o great_a offender_n now_o this_o universal_a justice_n in_o god_n be_v that_o whereby_o he_o

if_o there_o be_v no_o relaxation_n of_o the_o severity_n of_o it_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n to_o exercise_v the_o severity_n of_o punitive_a justice_n on_o obstinate_a and_o incorrigible_a offender_n and_o this_o be_v that_o whereon_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sinner_n in_o another_o world_n be_v found_v because_o god_n have_v be_v so_o merciful_a to_o they_o here_o and_o use_v so_o many_o way_n to_o reclaim_v they_o and_o it_o be_v the_o not_o exercise_v his_o punitive_a justice_n upon_o they_o in_o this_o world_n which_o
