for_o they_o wherefore_o in_o these_o thing_n neither_o faith_n nor_o hope_n can_v deceive_v us._n but_o touch_v the_o danger_n and_o adversity_n of_o this_o life_n we_o have_v no_o plain_a and_o

doubt_n proceed_v from_o the_o flesh_n and_o from_o our_o humane_a wisdom_n indeed_o we_o agree_v with_o our_o adversary_n in_o this_o point_n that_o sometime_o certain_a doubt_n of_o salvation_n do_v

constant_a and_o firm_a and_o in_o what_o sort_n these_o evil_n spring_v not_o of_o faith_n or_o of_o hope_n but_o of_o our_o own_o corruption_n we_o have_v before_o declare_v by_o a_o apt_a

argument_n of_o macedonius_n against_o augustine_n first_o he_o say_v in_o this_o let_n go_v we_o seem_v to_o allow_v that_o which_o we_o will_v have_v punish_v but_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o we_o will_v have_v punish_v therefore_o we_o seem_v to_o allow_v of_o sin_n itself_o so_o then_o we_o make_v ourselves_o guilty_a because_o the_o allower_n and_o author_n of_o the_o offence_n be_v both_o

those_o yield_v unto_o the_o church_n seek_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o sin_n shall_v go_v unpunished_a but_o rather_o amend_v even_o as_o god_n when_o he_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o arise_v upon_o the_o wicked_a do_v it_o not_o that_o sin_n shall_v escape_v unpunished_a but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v by_o his_o goodness_n provoke_v they_o to_o repentance_n moreover_o we_o will_v in_o

which_o promise_n that_o they_o will_v amend_v their_o life_n your_o power_n and_o instrument_n of_o punishment_n do_v bring_v they_o hereunto_o for_o unless_o they_o shall_v be_v terrify_v by_o

his_o epistle_n write_v 13_o james._n 2._o 13_o that_o judgement_n without_o mercy_n remain_v unto_o he_o who_o have_v not_o show_v mercy_n 32._o eze._n 18._o 32._o and_o also_o that_o ezechiel_n who_o under_o the_o person_n of_o god_n say_v i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o live_v 9_o some_o man_n perhaps_o will_v marvel_v why_o augustine_n set_v not_o down_o among_o his_o reason_n macedonius_n a_o consideration_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o augustine_n and_o macedonius_n that_o the_o guilty_a sort_n must_v also_o be_v spare_v because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a or_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o their_o lust_n or_o frail_a affection_n and_o therefore_o do_v fall_v into_o so_o gréevous_a offence_n héereunto_o i_o answer_v perhaps_o augustine_n comprehend_v this_o kind_n of_o argument_n when_o he_o say_v that_o man_n infirmity_n must_v be_v consider_v and_o certain_o to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o overcome_v with_o lust_n pertain_v to_o imbecility_n howbeit_o we_o may_v otherwise_o answer_v that_o he_o prudent_o omit_v this_o because_o he_o will_v not_o sustain_v the_o person_n of_o a_o defender_n but_o of_o a_o intercessor_n it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o part_n to_o minish_v or_o extenuate_v sin_n he_o confess_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v noughtilie_o do_v for_o the_o which_o he_o entreat_v but_o he_o crave_v a_o remission_n furthermore_o they_o which_o commit_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v punishable_a by_o the_o public_a law_n know_v they_o to_o be_v sin_n mâ—n_z they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n can_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o phrentike_a mâ—n_z neither_o can_v they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n be_v compare_v as_o of_o some_o they_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v frantic_a and_o out_o of_o their_o wit_n who_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v pity_v than_o punish_v for_o as_o yet_o reason_n reign_v in_o those_o man_n but_o in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v extinguish_v or_o else_o stop_v moreover_o the_o frantic_a person_n do_v not_o procure_v the_o evil_a unto_o themselves_o but_o they_o which_o obey_v lust_n do_v otherwhile_o stir_v they_o up_o they_o seek_v occasion_n they_o

the_o comparison_n be_v very_o unlike_a augustine_n to_o the_o first_o reason_n of_o augustine_n 10_o but_o because_o the_o reason_n of_o augustine_n under_o correction_n of_o so_o notable_a a_o man_n be_v not_o firm_a therefore_o must_v they_o be_v confute_v which_o as_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v do_v so_o i_o judge_v it_o very_o profitable_a first_o he_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v more_o pardonable_a as_o he_o term_v it_o when_o they_o have_v promise_n of_o amendment_n and_o also_o repentance_n join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o ought_v no_o long_a to_o be_v punish_v severelie_o unto_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o pardon_v which_o follow_v faith_n unto_o which_o be_v adjoin_v repentance_n be_v obtain_v of_o god_n and_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o civil_a judge_n who_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o thing_n already_o do_v not_o unto_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v present_a second_o to_o the_o second_o he_o add_v that_o the_o severity_n of_o law_n seek_v correction_n but_o that_o those_o man_n be_v correct_v by_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o that_o therefore_o nothing_o else_o must_v be_v any_o more_o wrest_a from_o they_o by_o violence_n but_o correction_n be_v seek_v for_o by_o the_o magistrate_n not_o only_o for_o his_o cause_n that_o be_v punish_v but_o also_o for_o other_o man_n sake_n
which_o be_v terrify_v through_o behold_v of_o the_o punishment_n so_o as_o they_o may_v desist_v from_o that_o kind_n of_o sin_n which_o they_o see_v be_v so_o severe_o punish_v or_o else_o to_o

of_o a_o idolater_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o israelit_n may_v see_v &_o fear_v third_n to_o the_o third_n augustine_n further_o argue_v that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v no_o other_o

of_o this_o life_n without_o repentance_n they_o will_v fall_v into_o those_o punishment_n which_o shall_v never_o have_v end_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o repentance_n be_v not_o deny_v unto_o they_o which_o he_o condemn_v for_o time_n &_o space_n of_o repentance_n be_v give_v they_o &_o there_o be_v appoint_v unto_o they_o pastor_n &_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n to_o admonish_v they_o

public_a repentance_n as_o though_o the_o guilty_a sort_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n without_o it_o may_v not_o have_v salvation_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v there_o speak_v if_o they_o be_v somewhat_o narrow_o consider_v can_v stand_v together_o for_o see_v that_o repentance_n of_o that_o kind_n be_v not_o often_o

from_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o church_n be_v because_o both_o this_o function_n at_o this_o day_n be_v account_v unprofitable_a and_o as_o thing_n go_v at_o this_o day_n without_o estimation_n and_o therefore_o man_n nature_n desire_v profitable_a &_o goodly_a thing_n fly_v from_o the_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o a_o thing_n barren_a and_o unfruiteful_a and_o

of_o all_o the_o celestial_a and_o spiritual_a similitude_n which_o we_o obtain_v with_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v whereby_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o believe_v we_o attain_v unto_o christ_n our_o true_a
