together_o that_o be_v sin_n of_o presumption_n with_o sin_n of_o presumption_n and_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n with_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n we_o say_v that_o a_o presumptuous_a sin_n against_o the_o four_o command_n if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o go_v unnecessary_o to_o the_o door_n or_o to_o gather_v stick_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o a_o presumptuous_a murder_n because_o it_o strike_v more_o

in_o a_o sin_n little_a on_o the_o matter_n comparative_o dare_v god_n as_o it_o be_v and_o striketh_z immediate_o against_o he_o and_o so_o be_v a_o additional_a high_a aggravation_n of_o it_o beside_o what_o it_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o though_o our_o censure_n against_o presumptuous_a breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v now_o as_o great_a sin_n as_o former_o as_o be_v clear_a from_o what_o be_v just_a now_o say_v be_v often_o more_o mitigate_v now_o under_o the_o gospel_n neither_o be_v it_o as_o we_o conceive_v ordinary_a to_o stone_n the_o presumptuous_a prophanener_n of_o the_o sabbath_n even_o among_o the_o jew_n yet_o will_v this_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n man_n do_v not_o now_o execute_v punishment_n upon_o transgressor_n of_o the_o first_o

punishment_n be_v heighten_v or_o lessen_v according_a as_o the_o peace_n and_o order_n of_o civil_a society_n may_v be_v more_o or_o less_o therein_o concern_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o these_o measure_n that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v the_o estimate_n of_o the_o greatness_n or_o smallness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o in_o order_n to_o his_o righteous_a and_o absolute_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o it`s_v enough_o that_o we_o inquire_v what_o god_n have_v do_v and_o will_v do_v and_o what_o sinner_n may_v expect_v from_o he_o however_o man_n may_v overlook_a and_o pass_v they_o by_o yet_o before_o god_n they_o be_v often_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o plague_v even_o in_o this_o life_n and_o will_v be_v for_o ever_o hereafter_o if_o they_o
