to_o be_v damn_v charge_n god_n with_o a_o merciless_a disposition_n which_o god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v once_o imagine_v to_o be_v in_o he_o who_o be_v indeed_o even_o mercy_n itself_o wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o give_v leave_v in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o to_o wipe_v away_o this_o slander_n first_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o we_o teach_v not_o that_o god_n do_v simple_o ordain_v any_o man_n to_o hell_n fire_n but_o thus_o we_o teach_v that_o god_n have_v decree_v and_o purpose_v to_o glorify_v his_o name_n in_o the_o due_a and_o deserve_a damnation_n of_o some_o for_o in_o man_n reprobation_n god_n have_v two_o action_n first_o he_o decree_v to_o pass_v by_o some_o without_o show_v his_o eternal_a mercy_n unto_o they_o and_o only_o to_o declare_v his_o justice_n upon_o they_o which_o thing_n he_o may_v well_o do_v without_o control_v for_o he_o be_v tie_v to_o none_o then_o further_o he_o decree_v to_o inflict_v upon_o some_o when_o by_o themselves_o they_o be_v fall_v into_o sin_n their_o just_a and_o deserve_a damnation_n so_o that_o god_n decree_v a_o man_n to_o hell_n not_o simple_o and_o absolute_o without_o all_o respect_n to_o sin_n but_o with_o a_o reference_n thereto_o this_o point_n i_o take_v it_o be_v well_o weigh_v god_n justice_n in_o reprobation_n be_v much_o clear_v and_o our_o doctrine_n free_v from_o cast_v the_o guilt_n of_o cruelty_n upon_o the_o most_o high_a second_o i_o wish_v it_o may_v be_v well_o consider_v how_o that_o in_o some_o case_n among_o ourselves_o we_o give_v liberty_n one_o to_o another_o to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o as_o we_o will_v and_o we_o think_v the_o action_n so_o do_v both_o just_a and_o lawful_a then_o ought_v we_o not_o much_o more_o to_o give_v to_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o righteous_a god_n a_o liberty_n in_o his_o action_n to_o do_v even_o as_o he_o will_v without_o all_o impute_v of_o cruelty_n or_o injustice_n whatsoever_o last_o we_o do_v but_o require_v that_o in_o this_o case_n of_o reprobation_n so_o much_o so_o veraignty_n may_v be_v give_v to_o god_n ever_o man_n which_o be_v most_o equal_a as_o a_o silly_a and_o mortal_a man_n assume_v to_o himself_o over_o the_o creature_n we_o allow_v to_o a_o man_n so_o much_o power_n and_o liberty_n as_o to_o kill_v a_o fly_n or_o a_o worm_n at_o his_o will_n to_o slay_v a_o sheep_n or_o a_o ox_n for_o his_o lawful_a use_n and_o pleasure_n and_o all_o this_o without_o the_o least_o tincture_n of_o cruelty_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v much_o to_o grant_v to_o god_n the_o absolute_a lord_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o flesh_n and_o sovereign_a king_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n a_o liberty_n to_o appoint_v some_o man_n to_o be_v pass_v by_o and_o so_o to_o run_v on_o to_o deserve_a death_n upon_o his_o mere_a
