punishment_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o also_o for_o the_o temporal_a affliction_n &_o punishment_n that_o be_v incident_a to_o this_o life_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o great_a impiety_n in_o

be_v hold_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o power_n and_o virtue_n on_o both_o side_n again_o it_o be_v untrue_a which_o he_o say_v that_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n be_v limit_v may_v be_v satisfy_v
