as_o this_o impression_n be_v leave_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o god_n be_v just_a so_o man_n be_v under_o some_o fear_n and_o expectation_n of_o punishment_n after_o they_o have_v sin_v upon_o this_o account_n because_o god_n be_v just_a hence_o be_v it_o that_o god_n tell_v cain_n in_o case_n thou_o do_v evil_a sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n gen._n 4.7_o sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n that_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n no_o soon_o do_v a_o man_n commit_v sin_n but_o conscience_n if_o it_o be_v awaken_v will_v tell_v he_o present_o that_o punishment_n be_v due_a for_o that_o sin_n now_o these_o three_o consideration_n show_v that_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o just_a and_o as_o he_o be_v holy_a and_o just_a so_o his_o nature_n incline_v he_o to_o punish_v sin_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o his_o word_n incline_v he_o to_o punish_v sin_n god_n threaten_v that_o in_o the_o day_n that_o man_n sin_v he_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o god_n must_v be_v true_a to_o his_o own_o word_n this_o be_v certain_a god_n decree_v to_o punish_v sin_n and_o he_o can_v decree_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v just_a god_n have_v therefore_o just_o decree_v to_o punish_v sin_n and_o manifest_v that_o decree_n in_o his_o word_n of_o threaten_a god_n must_v be_v true_a to_o his_o own_o decree_n and_o his_o word_n in_o punish_v man_n when_o he_o sin_v pertinent_a to_o this_o be_v that_o passage_n which_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o a_o learned_a man_n god_n say_v he_o can_v act_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o his_o own_o will_n now_o god_n will_v that_o which_o be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v just_a that_o the_o punishment_n and_o all_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v due_a by_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v suffer_v and_o undergo_v hence_o he_o infer_v that_o this_o proposition_n be_v always_o true_a that_o god_n can_v not_o have_v deliver_v mankind_n from_o misery_n but_o by_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n and_o that_o all_o that_o which_o the_o law_n require_v to_o be_v undergo_v shall_v be_v undergo_v nolle_fw-la dei_fw-la posse_fw-la velle_fw-la est_fw-la non_fw-la posse_fw-la nolle_fw-la god_n can_v not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o he_o can_v not_o because_o he_o have_v determine_v that_o the_o punishment_n which_o the_o law_n do_v denounce_v shall_v be_v undergo_v and_o
