upon_o consideration_n of_o sin_n willing_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o afflict_v any_o lament_v 3._o mercy_n and_o punishment_n they_o flow_v from_o god_n as_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o sting_n from_o

against_o his_o reproof_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o ill_a be_v set_v down_o two_o way_n first_o by_o the_o great_a sinfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v call_v the_o harden_v of_o a_o man_n

whereby_o he_o will_v have_v they_o lay_v aside_o their_o wretched_a course_n and_o avoid_v the_o judgement_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o hatred_n when_o a_o man_n do_v not_o reprove_v his_o
