rule_n that_o god_n be_v more_o displease_v with_o sin_n than_o man_n be_v or_o can_v be_v he_o can_v endure_v it_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v thou_o be_v of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v evil_a and_o can_v not_o look_v on_o iniquity_n hab._n 1.13_o yet_o this_o second_o rule_n be_v as_o true_a that_o there_o be_v no_o passion_n in_o god_n we_o must_v therefore_o find_v wrath_n to_o be_v in_o god_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o it_o be_v in_o man_n in_o he_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o similitude_n of_o effect_n so_o the_o school_n distinguish_v of_o ira_fw-la afficiens_fw-la and_o efficiens_fw-la in_o man_n be_v ira_fw-la afficiens_fw-la we_o be_v change_v and_o perturb_a with_o our_o indignation_n but_o in_o god_n be_v ira_fw-la efficiens_fw-la he_o do_v the_o same_o as_o we_o but_o without_o change_n without_o perturbation_n so_o the_o lunary_n rainbow_n be_v not_o affect_v with_o colour_n as_o the_o solar_a be_v there_o be_v a_o conclusion_n in_o some_o schoolman_n that_o no_o affection_n or_o operation_n that_o essential_o include_v imperfection_n can_v proper_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n but_o if_o the_o imperfection_n be_v accidental_a and_o therefore_o separable_a it_o may_v so_o that_o when_o the_o imperfection_n be_v sever_v from_o it_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o god_n now_o a_o passion_n may_v two_o way_n be_v say_v to_o be_v evil_a 1._o from_o the_o very_a kind_n of_o it_o when_o the_o object_n import_v it_o evil_a so_o envy_n be_v and_o therefore_o envy_n can_v be_v find_v in_o perfection_n itself_o 2._o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v too_o much_o or_o too_o little_a so_o anger_n may_v be_v evil_a and_o so_o not_o in_o god_n but_o because_o that_o evil_a be_v accidental_a and_o anger_n may_v be_v separate_v either_o from_o defect_n or_o excess_n as_o it_o be_v so_o sever_v it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o god_n and_o that_o either_o primary_o or_o secondary_o 1._o primary_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v no_o more_o than_o voluntas_fw-la puniendi_fw-la god_n will_v to_o punish_v 2._o secondarile_a it_o be_v the_o punishment_n itself_o so_o that_o now_o we_o find_v both_o 1._o wrath_n in_o god_n 2._o wrath_n from_o god_n both_o which_o be_v join_v by_o the_o prophet_n jerem._n 7.19_o do_v they_o provoke_v i_o to_o anger_n say_v the_o lord_n do_v they_o not_o provoke_v themselves_o to_o the_o confusion_n of_o their_o own_o face_n yet_o god_n still_o remain_v the_o same_o without_o alteration_n as_o that_o acute_a and_o subtle_a doctor_n jackson_n after_o his_o

saint_n john_n mean_v the_o declaration_n of_o god_n wrath_n not_o present_a but_o future_a and_o may_v note_v both_o the_o destruction_n of_o their_o city_n and_o more_o principal_o eternal_a
