for_o the_o first_o to_o reprieve_n reprive_v be_v not_o to_o diminish_n or_o make_v void_a the_o sentence_n pass_v upon_o a_o murderer_n or_o to_o free_v he_o from_o it_o but_o only_o for_o some_o time_n the_o delay_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o god_n which_o prohibit_v such_o reprieve_n and_o delay_n of_o execute_v the_o sentence_n or_o any_o way_n make_v it_o unlawful_a for_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o grant_v such_o reprieve_n the_o severe_a law_n against_o murderer_n be_v that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 31._o but_o

that_o he_o must_v die_v the_o same_o day_n the_o sentence_n pass_v or_o the_o same_o week_n or_o month_n if_o a_o murderer_n be_v execute_v a_o month_n after_o the_o sentence_n pass_v he_o die_v as_o

magistrate_n not_o only_o lawful_o may_v but_o aught_o to_o grant_v such_o a_o reprieve_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n do_v indispensable_o bind_v all_o to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o their selve_o 39_o and_o therefore_o so_o far_o as_o we_o have_v ability_n to_o endeavour_v his_o salvation_n now_o a_o condemn_a murderer_n who_o have_v no_o pardon_n be_v sure_o to_o lose_v a_o temporal_a life_n and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o lose_v eternal_a life_n too_o it_o be_v the_o observation_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o best_a scholar_n and_o lawyer_n in_o his_o time_n it_o will_v 12._o and_o shall_v be_v the_o care_n of_o pious_a prince_n not_o to_o hurry_v such_o condemn_a malefactor_n hasty_o to_o death_n but_o to_o grant_v they_o some_o time_n by_o a_o reprieve_n before_o

that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v inflict_v may_v certain_o for_o some_o small_a time_n for_o a_o week_n a_o month_n or_o two_o suspend_v and_o delay_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o so_o i_o

the_o gospel_n now_o this_o great_a difficulty_n and_o almost_o impossibility_n to_o know_v when_o they_o wilful_o and_o so_o criminal_o reject_v the_o gospel_n make_v it_o very_o difficult_a
