for_o murder_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v distinct_o to_o show_v and_o prove_v 1._o that_o a_o reprieve_n 2._o that_o a_o pardon_n be_v not_o by_o any_o law_n of_o god_n unlawful_a 1._o 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 now_o name_v which_o say_v that_o no_o satisfaction_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n but_o he_o shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n but_o that_o law_n do_v not_o say_v 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 sure_o as_o if_o he_o have_v die_v the_o same_o day_n 2._o there_o may_v be_v just_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o scripture_n why_o in_o many_o case_n the_o supreme_a 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 they_o leave_v this_o to_o consult_v their_o ghostly_a father_n and_o by_o prayer_n confess_v their_o sin_n true_a penitence_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o absolution_n prepare_v themselves_o for_o a_o better_a life_n 3._o but_o although_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o supreme_a power_n may_v reprieve_v a_o condemn_a murderer_n yet_o it_o will_v further_o appear_v and_o beyond_o all_o contradiction_n in_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o next_o particular_a where_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o king_n by_o his_o supreme_a power_n and_o royal_a prerogative_n may_v lawful_o pardon_v such_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o may_v he_o lawful_o reprieve_v he_o for_o he_o who_o can_v lawful_o pardon_v and_o remit_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n 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 proceed_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a 2._o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a by_o any_o divine_a law_n pardon_v for_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o pardon_v a_o person_n convict_v and_o condemn_v for_o murder_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o there_o be_v no_o divine_a law_n which_o prohibit_v the_o supreme_a power_n to_o grant_v such_o a_o pardon_n that_o this_o may_v more_o distinct_o appear_v it_o be_v certain_a and_o confess_v that_o divine_a law_n be_v either_o 1._o evangelical_n make_v know_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n 2._o moysaicall_a such_o as_o god_n by_o moses_n make_v
