be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v 9_o exceed_v angry_a with_o aaron_n but_o now_o these_o evil_n though_o inflict_v on_o the_o godly_a because_o of_o their_o sin_n as_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o child_n to_o david_n the_o tempest_n to_o jonah_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o evil_n inflict_v for_o the_o revenge_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v yet_o the_o right_a nature_n of_o a_o proper_a

also_o as_o daily_o die_v and_o crucify_a even_o so_o punishment_n or_o consequent_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o godly_a or_o not_o to_o be_v in_o they_o in_o a_o different_a

conclude_v that_o the_o temporal_a evil_n which_o do_v befall_v the_o godly_a be_v not_o formal_o or_o proper_o punishment_n nor_o effect_n of_o divine_a malediction_n or_o vengeance_n towards_o the_o
