shall_v contract_v nothing_o of_o uncleaness_n if_o then_o all_o be_v in_o fault_n where_o be_v those_o guiltless_a people_n you_o speak_v of_o who_o have_v not_o deserve_v the_o punishment_n they_o undergo_v since_o it_o be_v most_o righteous_a that_o punishment_n shall_v be_v the_o inseparable_a companion_n of_o unrighteousness_n but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v the_o inequality_n of_o it_o that_o displease_v i_o for_o we_o see_v they_o heavy_o scourge_v that_o have_v but_o light_o offend_v while_o those_o that_o be_v outrageous_o wicked_a do_v continue_v and_o flourish_v in_o the_o

to_o your_o own_o apprehension_n for_o what_o else_o can_v you_o mean_v by_o that_o bold_a pronounce_v upon_o the_o equality_n or_o inequality_n of_o crime_n otherwise_o than_o god_n have_v do_v before_o you_o you_o be_v therefore_o here_o lipsius_n to_o consider_v of_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o a_o true_a estimation_n of_o the_o crime_n of_o other_o neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v attempt_v by_o man_n for_o how_o shall_v he_o do_v it_o that_o not_o so_o much_o as_o observe_v they_o and_o which_o way_n shall_v he_o put_v a_o exact_a difference_n betwixt_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o see_v for_o you_o will_v easy_o grant_v it_o i_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n that_o sin_n by_o the_o body_n and_o sense_n indeed_o as_o its_o instrument_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o the_o main_a business_n and_o weight_n of_o the_o crime_n do_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n depend_v upon_o itself_o this_o be_v so_o exact_o true_a that_o if_o it_o appear_v any_o one_o have_v unwilling_o sin_v he_o be_v clear_a of_o the_o sin_n and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a i_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v thorough_o discern_v of_o sin_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o reach_v to_o the_o residence_n and_o seat_n of_o it_o for_o so_o far_o be_v you_o from_o see_v into_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o another_o that_o you_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o your_o own_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o wonderful_a vanity_n and_o no_o less_o a_o temerity_n to_o pretend_v to_o the_o censure_n and_o arbitration_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v neither_o full_o see_v nor_o to_o be_v see_v neither_o know_v nor_o to_o be_v know_v consider_v second_o that_o if_o what_o you_o say_v be_v true_a there_o be_v yet_o neither_o evil_a nor_o injustice_n do_v to_o they_o no_o evil_a because_o it_o be_v do_v for_o their_o good_a who_o be_v present_o punish_v even_o for_o small_a offence_n it_o be_v rather_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o they_o since_o that_o punishment_n which_o be_v delay_v be_v just_o to_o be_v suspect_v as_o portend_v a_o heavy_a judgement_n be_v to_o come_v neither_o be_v it_o unjust_a because_o as_o i_o say_v we_o have_v all_o deserve_a punishment_n nor_o can_v the_o best_a of_o we_o pretend_v to_o so_o unblemished_a a_o purity_n but_o there_o will_v be_v find_v some_o such_o spot_n in_o it_o as_o be_v to_o be_v wash_v out_o as_o i_o may_v say_v with_o this_o salt_n water_n of_o affliction_n forbear_v therefore_o youngman_n this_o intricate_a pursuit_n of_o the_o respect_n and_o proportion_n of_o

virtue_n in_o their_o proper_a countenance_n who_o can_v impose_v upon_o he_o who_o equal_o search_v into_o thing_n internal_a and_o external_a that_o see_v at_o once_o the_o body_n and_o the_o mind_n the_o tongue_n and_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o conclude_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v open_a with_o those_o that_o be_v reclude_v and_o retire_v who_o do_v not_o only_o most_o clear_o behold_v our_o

answer_v true_o no_o nor_o his_o evil_a thought_n neither_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o be_v here_o so_o benight_a that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o not_o see_v those_o close_a sin_n commit_v in_o the_o bosom_n and_o as_o they_o say_v within_o the_o button_n but_o scarce_o those_o which_o be_v open_a and_o drag_v into_o the_o light_n for_o we_o can_v behold_v the_o crime_n itself_o and_o the_o vigour_n of_o it_o but_o some_o certain_a footstep_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v already_o commit_v and_o upon_o its_o departure_n they_o oftentimes_o be_v the_o best_a man_n to_o we_o who_o be_v the_o worst_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o be_v reprobate_n in_o our_o esteem_n who_o be_v the_o choice_a to_o he_o forbear_v therefore_o if_o you_o be_v wise_a to_o

who_o will_v permit_v that_o to_o be_v lawful_a to_o a_o prince_n or_o magistrate_n which_o you_o forbid_v to_o god_n who_o yet_o if_o you_o examine_v it_o right_o have_v a_o just_a reason_n for_o
