with_o that_o which_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o god_n be_v general_o very_o slow_a in_o inflict_v his_o punishment_n upon_o sinner_n i_o do_v not_o say_v he_o be_v always_o so_o for_o sometime_o nay_o oftentimes_o god_n do_v otherwise_o he_o take_v sinner_n in_o the_o fact_n and_o do_v execution_n upon_o the_o place_n i_o need_v not_o mind_v you_o of_o the_o dreadful_a example_n in_o scripture_n of_o corah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n of_o ananias_n and_o sapphira_n and_o the_o like_a we_o have_v oftentimes_o the_o terror_n of_o such_o example_n before_o our_o eye_n to_o see_v one_o kill_v in_o a_o drunken_a quarrel_n or_o in_o attempt_v a_o robbery_n or_o in_o range_v to_o satisfy_v his_o lust_n to_o see_v a_o sinner_n cut_v off_o in_o the_o first_o act_n or_o the_o first_o discover_v act_n of_o his_o sin_n when_o this_o happen_v to_o any_o one_o though_o we_o be_v silent_a as_o to_o his_o eternal_a estate_n yet_o we_o can_v but_o say_v there_o be_v a_o visible_a judgement_n of_o god_n by_o which_o such_o a_o one_o be_v take_v away_o sudden_o as_o by_o a_o whirlwind_n in_o his_o wrath_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n than_o they_o be_v who_o have_v their_o life_n prolong_v in_o their_o wickedness_n nay_o of_o the_o two_o perhaps_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o fear_v their_o condition_n much_o more_o than_o the_o other_o for_o thus_o much_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o imply_v when_o he_o admit_v there_o be_v that_o that_o look_v like_o slackness_n in_o judgement_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o pretence_n if_o the_o most_o or_o great_a sinner_n be_v judge_v and_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v judge_v early_o in_o this_o life_n the_o apostle_n rather_o seem_v to_o admit_v of_o the_o contrary_a and_o it_o sufficient_o appear_v by_o many_o instance_n that_o the_o great_a sinner_n have_v have_v a_o long_a time_n give_v they_o before_o they_o have_v be_v call_v to_o account_v for_o their_o sin_n against_o god_n if_o any_o will_v see_v this_o prove_v by_o example_n let_v he_o think_v of_o the_o worst_a man_n mention_v in_o scripture_n he_o shall_v see_v how_o slow_a god_n have_v be_v in_o bring_v they_o to_o due_a punishment_n of_o heathen_a prince_n there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v a_o worse_a character_n upon_o he_o than_o pharaoh_n a_o monster_n of_o pride_n and_o cruelty_n and_o contempt_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v down_o upon_o he_o all_o the_o plague_n of_o egypt_n so_o famous_a in_o history_n by_o the_o last_o of_o those_o judgement_n he_o perish_v but_o than_o it_o be_v long_o first_o for_o all_o those_o plague_n come_v upon_o he_o in_o one_o year_n and_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sixteen_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n say_v eusebius_n from_o manetho_n the_o egyptian_a among_o the_o jewish_a king_n the_o worst_a shall_v be_v wicked_a ahab_n for_o of_o he_o the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o that_o have_v sell_v himself_o to_o work_v wickedness_n and_o yet_o ahab_n reign_v above_o two_o and_o twenty_o year_n before_o the_o dog_n have_v the_o lick_n of_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o worst_a great_a man_n we_o read_v of_o be_v that_o herod_n that_o will_v have_v kill_v christ_n in_o his_o infancy_n and_o pilate_n by_o who_o he_o be_v crucify_v but_o of_o they_o herod_n come_v to_o his_o end_n which_o indeed_o be_v very_o horrible_a as_o josephus_n describe_v it_o not_o till_o the_o four_o and_o thirty_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n and_o pilate_n the_o roman_a governor_n who_o the_o same_o josephus_n describe_v as_o a_o man_n make_v up_o of_o avarice_n and_o cruelty_n yet_o continue_v in_o his_o government_n and_o seem_v to_o enjoy_v himself_o in_o those_o sin_n for_o some_o year_n after_o the_o crucify_a of_o our_o
