be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n if_o christ_n become_v a_o debtor_n for_o we_o than_o he_o must_v also_o lay_v down_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o

when_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v take_v down_o and_o those_o two_o old_a familiar_a friend_n be_v part_v this_o death_n our_o saviour_n do_v suffer_v but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o far_o he_o do_v suffer_v the_o death_n natural_a let_v i_o answer_v it_o in_o three_o conclusion_n first_o whatsoever_o appertain_v to_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o essential_o of_o the_o first_o death_n that_o be_v the_o desolation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v suffer_v for_o that_o only_o be_v threaten_v unto_o adam_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n

be_v leave_v indifferent_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o our_o saviour_n this_o i_o speak_v to_o wipe_v away_o a_o carnal_a cavil_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o this_o truth_n by_o some_o that_o will_v diminish_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n if_o christ_n do_v suffer_v punishment_n for_o all_o then_o why_o be_v he_o not_o stone_v with_o stone_n as_o steven_n be_v and_o why_o be_v he_o not_o saw_v in_o piece_n or_o burn_v or_o the_o like_a the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n follow_v not_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o suffer_v many_o death_n nay_o the_o curse_n do_v not_o intimate_v

so_o many_o particular_a death_n the_o argument_n be_v false_a for_o look_v how_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o root_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o commit_v sin_n look_v what_o death_n he_o deserve_v that_o death_n our_o saviour_n be_v to_o suffer_v and_o it_o be_v require_v of_o he_o and_o this_o death_n our_o saviour_n undertake_v but_o when_o adam_n have_v commit_v sin_n there_o be_v not_o many_o

therefore_o plain_a that_o he_o fall_v first_o upon_o the_o godhead_n and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v upon_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v upon_o one_o of_o they_o only_o but_o upon_o the_o whole_a deity_n and_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o all_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v that_o which_o do_v appertain_v to_o this_o as_o this_o belong_v to_o this_o and_o to_o none_o other_o now_o we_o believe_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a trinity_n and_o therefore_o we_o close_o with_o all_o three_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o divine_n observe_v that_o when_o we_o be_v say_v to_o believe_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n not_o that_o any_o do_v it_o proper_o but_o so_o far_o as_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n in_o christ_n reveal_v and_o promise_v and_o communicate_v himself_o so_o far_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v in_o his_o faithfulness_n truth_n and_o mercy_n reveal_v in_o the_o promise_n the_o second_o reason_n which_o they_o allege_v be_v this_o say_v they_o that_o which_o in_o reason_n must_v stay_v &_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v that_o in_o reason_n to_o which_o the_o soul_n must_v first_o betake_v itself_o and_o upon_o which_o it_o most_o first_o stay_v itself_o for_o faith_n go_v out_o for_o succour_n and_o for_o good_a therefore_o that_o which_o only_o can_v satisfy_v faith_n to_o that_o only_o it_o must_v first_o go_v the_o believer_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o commission_n of_o they_o but_o there_o be_v life_n in_o god_n therefore_o to_o a_o infinite_a god_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o work_v a_o infinite_a satisfaction_n for_o he_o which_o all_o creature_n can_v do_v in_o this_o case_n the_o godhead_n prepare_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o work_n by_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o give_v power_n to_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o make_v it_o able_a to_o suffer_v and_o to_o satisfy_v faith_n see_v that_o he_o have_v offend_v a_o infinite_a god_n and_o deserve_a punishment_n of_o a_o infinite_a value_n therefore_o he_o must_v repair_v to_o he_o that_o can_v only_o repair_v in_o mercy_n to_o his_o soul_n therefore_o say_v the_o prophet_n david_n psalm_n 130.7_o verse_n hope_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o for_o with_o the_o lord_n be_v plenteous_a redemption_n and_o in_o esay_n 26.4_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o ever_o for_o in_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n be_v everlasting_a

hence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n say_v john_n 17.3_o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o they_o know_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o very_a god_n and_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v even_o jesou_n christ_n now_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o which_o of_o these_o judgement_n i_o follow_v i_o answer_v because_o i_o love_v not_o to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v here_o and_o there_o and_o no_o where_o in_o truth_n but_o i_o love_v to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n that_o dwell_v at_o home_n for_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o many_o divine_n wise_a and_o learned_a who_o part_n and_o gift_n i_o reverence_v they_o follow_v the_o former_a opinion_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o leave_v a_o judicious_a hearer_n to_o take_v which_o side_n he_o will_v but_o in_o truth_n the_o two_o last_o argument_n have_v prevail_v with_o i_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n believe_v and_o stay_v itself_o first_o upon_o the_o godhead_n and_o deity_n and_o afterward_o upon_o the_o humanity_n and_o i_o think_v the_o two_o former_a argument_n seem_v not_o to_o compel_v any_o man_n understanding_n for_o be_v it_o grant_v that_o the_o former_a scripture_n do_v reveal_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o mention_v he_o often_o as_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a they_o reveal_v he_o to_o be_v god_n and_o mention_v his_o godhead_n not_o mention_v at_o all_o his_o humanity_n but_o whensoever_o they_o do_v mention_v his_o humanity_n first_o it_o be_v for_o good_a reason_n partly_o by_o way_n of_o prophecy_n to_o foretell_v of_o christ_n what_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o partly_o by_o way_n of_o story_n and_o relation_n to_o relate_v of_o christ_n what_o he_o be_v yet_o this_o reason_n infer_v not_o that_o faith_n must_v therefore_o first_o lie_v hold_v upon_o the_o humanity_n before_o the_o deity_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n of_o conversion_n than_o we_o must_v apprehend_v christ_n as_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o point_n of_o conversion_n and_o then_o let_v the_o question_n be_v this_o whither_o the_o soul_n shall_v go_v for_o that_o which_o it_o want_v now_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o go_v to_o the_o humanity_n for_o what_o it_o want_v and_o seek_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n come_v to_o speak_v in_o the_o way_n of_o conversion_n the_o godhead_n be_v set_v first_o as_o in_o the_o 2_o cor._n 5.19_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n unto_o himself_o as_o god_n in_o christ_n reconcile_v the_o world_n unto_o himself_o so_o god_n reveal_v himself_o to_o his_o faithful_a minister_n and_o so_o they_o reveal_v he_o to_o the_o people_n it_o be_v the_o godhead_n that_o be_v offend_v and_o must_v first_o of_o all_o be_v please_v and_o unto_o that_o god_n we_o must_v first_o go_v for_o what_o we_o want_v so_o jeremy_n 33.16_o in_o those_o day_n judah_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o israel_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o this_o be_v the_o name_n whereby_o they_o shall_v call_v he_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n so_o say_v the_o angel_n they_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n which_o be_v by_o interpretation_n god_n with_o we_o this_o be_v to_o the_o first_o reason_n now_o to_o the_o second_o argument_n i_o answer_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v good_a in_o reason_n that_o we_o must_v first_o go_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n for_o these_o reason_n propound_v and_o if_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o call_v my_o faith_n that_o way_n because_o all_o the_o great_a work_n be_v wrought_v that_o way_n then_o much_o more_o see_v the_o humane_a nature_n be_v enable_v to_o the_o work_n by_o the_o divine_a nature_n therefore_o my_o faith_n must_v first_o look_v that_o way_n because_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o work_n lie_v upon_o the_o deity_n the_o humane_a nature_n can_v assume_v to_o take_v to_o itself_o this_o glory_n not_o be_v any_o way_n available_a to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n but_o that_o the_o deity_n enable_v it_o and_o therefore_o faith_n must_v first_o of_o all_o look_n unto_o that_o thus_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v advance_v to_o a_o marvellous_a high_a privilege_n now_o the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o these_o three_o head_n use_v 1_o first_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a come_v thus_o near_o to_o christ_n not_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o to_o embrace_v he_o but_o to_o be_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o then_o this_o may_v be_v a_o use_n of_o instruction_n and_o it_o show_v to_o we_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v marvellous_a heinous_a in_o god_n account_n and_o exceed_v grievous_a to_o his_o bless_a spirit_n that_o have_v come_v so_o near_o to_o we_o and_o bring_v we_o so_o near_o unto_o himself_o every_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o mountain_n or_o as_o a_o wall_n of_o separation_n but_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v no_o less_o than_o rebellion_n

how_o also_o it_o shall_v be_v implant_v into_o he_o be_v call_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o vocation_n we_o have_v heretofore_o full_o and_o large_o discuss_v and_o conclude_v that_o point_n

which_o it_o may_v receive_v from_o the_o same_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o believe_a soul_n faith_n do_v not_o only_o bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n but_o it_o make_v we_o grow_v together_o with_o

make_v up_o this_o grow_v together_o with_o christ_n it_o be_v that_o heavenly_a communion_n that_o the_o soul_n do_v get_v with_o our_o saviour_n when_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o

in_o the_o stock_n to_o the_o graft_n so_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n what_o ever_o he_o have_v he_o have_v for_o his_o church_n and_o people_n and_o what_o ever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v for_o his_o

in_o soul_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v three_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o special_a use_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o require_v this_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v only_o surable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereby_o adam_n have_v entrench_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o god_n the_o father_n every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n intrench_v near_o upon_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o provoke_a nature_n because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n therefore_o that_o divine_a justice_n may_v not_o be_v a_o loser_n there_o must_v be_v a_o punishment_n not_o only_o corporal_a but_o also_o spiritual_a for_o justice_n abate_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v justice_n to_o give_v every_o one_o his_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o honour_n belong_v and_o punishment_n to_o who_o punishment_n belong_v therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v be_v preserve_v she_o must_v inflict_v these_o punishment_n upon_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o our_o room_n the_o jesuit_n have_v devise_v a_o cavil_n against_o this_o reason_n say_v they_o it_o need_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v these_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o if_o he_o bear_v death_n it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o other_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n marvellous_a injurious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o for_o by_o the_o same_o right_n that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o
saviour_n may_v abate_v of_o the_o punishment_n by_o the_o same_o right_n the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n may_v as_o well_o take_v it_o quite_o away_o if_o one_o drop_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n will_v save_v all_o the_o world_n than_o what_o need_v christ_n to_o have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n for_o if_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n may_v free_v he_o from_o the_o one_o it_o may_v free_v he_o from_o the_o other_o also_o but_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v whatsoever_o christ_n do_v in_o his_o wisdom_n suffer_v and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o beside_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n be_v to_o far_o from_o free_v he_o from_o the_o punishment_n that_o it_o fit_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n it_o exempt_v he_o not_o from_o the_o punishment_n but_o it_o furnish_v he_o with_o ability_n to_o bear_v it_o as_o he_o must_v be_v man_n that_o he_o may_v suffer_v finite_o so_o he_o must_v be_v god_n that_o must_v satisfy_v infinite_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v two_o thing_n first_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o punishment_n as_o may_v be_v suitable_a to_o the_o wrong_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n that_o be_v a_o infinite_a punishment_n second_o the_o person_n must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v be_v regard_v therefore_o he_o must_v be_v such_o a_o person_n as_o must_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n and_o to_o satisfy_v infinite_o and_o to_o come_v forth_o from_o under_o it_o therefore_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n do_v not_o dispense_v with_o the_o punishment_n but_o enable_v he_o to_o suffer_v it_o as_o the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n be_v express_v and_o show_v upon_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n in_o lay_v on_o this_o punishment_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n so_o the_o infinite_a suffering_n of_o christ_n undergo_v they_o both_o therefore_o that_o which_o divine_a justice_n require_v and_o without_o which_o it_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o he_o must_v suffer_v but_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n do_v require_v it_o and_o without_o it_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v not_o satisfy_v and_o therefore_o christ_n do_v suffer_v both_o object_n to_o this_o argument_n the_o jesuit_n reply_n it_o need_v not_o say_v they_o that_o that_o curse_n which_o adam_n do_v deserve_v shall_v be_v

wisdom_n and_o power_n he_o can_v have_v provide_v another_o way_n and_o therefore_o if_o christ_n suffer_v but_o in_o part_n it_o may_v suffice_v answer_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o foolish_a nice_a and_o silly_a curiosity_n to_o inquire_v of_o god_n absolute_a power_n what_o he_o may_v have_v do_v and_o what_o he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v when_o we_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o as_o he_o will_v save_v the_o humble_a merciful_o so_o he_o will_v preserve_v his_o justice_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n esay_n 53.10_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o psalm_n 40.8_o i_o desire_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n oh_o my_o god_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o shall_v suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n he_o have_v reveal_v what_o his_o will_n be_v and_o it_o be_v folly_n to_o inquire_v what_o god_n may_v do_v when_o we_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o beside_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a truth_n that_o none_o of_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n can_v ever_o enterfeere_a or_o cross_a one_o another_o it_o can_v be_v for_o then_o god_n shall_v not_o procure_v nor_o maintain_v his_o own_o glory_n for_o when_o he_o shall_v procure_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n he_o shall_v wrong_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v procure_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n he_o shall_v wrong_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n must_v be_v preserve_v as_o well_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n magnify_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n can_v wrong_v justice_n nor_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n can_v overpower_v mercy_n therefore_o hence_o i_o infer_v thus_o much_o if_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n whereby_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o have_v receive_v wrong_n can_v be_v satisfy_v but_o only_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o he_o who_o be_v god_n and_o man_n than_o it_o be_v against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o against_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o against_o their_o glory_n and_o dignity_n to_o devise_v another_o way_n or_o mean_n to_o pardon_v sin_n without_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o divine_a justice_n it_o be_v against_o his_o glory_n power_n and_o wisdom_n to_o wrong_v either_o justice_n or_o mercy_n for_o he_o shall_v either_o have_v wrong_v mercy_n in_o not_o pardon_v or_o else_o wrong_a justice_n in_o not_o punish_v of_o christ_n therefore_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o way_n to_o do_v it_o but_o only_o by_o the_o death_n of_o he_o who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n than_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o redemption_n but_o this_o way_n for_o a_o infinite_a justice_n be_v wrong_v there_o be_v no_o way_n else_o to_o satisfy_v a_o infinite_a justice_n but_o by_o the_o suffering_n of_o he_o who_o be_v infinite_a and_o that_o be_v only_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o infinite_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v wind_v it_o up_o thus_o that_o punishment_n which_o be_v include_v in_o the_o curse_n and_o which_o be_v deserve_v by_o the_o first_o adam_n that_o be_v suffer_v by_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n but_o the_o punishment_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v the_o punishment_n include_v in_o the_o curse_n and_o deserve_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n therefore_o it_o be_v bear_v by_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o certain_o as_o it_o be_v deserve_v by_o the_o first_o adam_n reason_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o place_n which_o he_o undergo_v because_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v our_o surety_n and_o our_o sin_n be_v charge_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o become_v paymaster_n so_o that_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o god_n the_o father_n bind_v he_o to_o it_o and_o his_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n tie_v he_o to_o it_o nay_o he_o take_v all_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v satisfy_v for_o thou_o if_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v our_o surety_n and_o take_v all_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o by_o imputation_n and_o the_o debt_n be_v make_v he_o than_o the_o payment_n also_o must_v be_v discharge_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o certain_o all_o your_o pride_n and_o stubbornness_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v all_o charge_v upon_o our_o saviour_n and_o set_v upon_o his_o soore_n and_o lay_v upon_o his_o back_n therefore_o he_o must_v suffer_v for_o all_o because_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o all_o so_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o point_n be_v this_o unless_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n justice_n have_v not_o be_v so_o full_o satisfy_v but_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v both_o and_o the_o curse_n include_v both_o and_o therefore_o christ_n suffer_v both_o and_o have_v fulfil_v whatsoever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v require_v by_o divine_a justice_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o use_n something_o must_v be_v say_v to_o justify_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n free_a grace_n the_o first_o use_n shall_v be_v this_o use_v 1_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o word_n of_o confutation_n and_o it_o direct_o meet_v with_o popish_a purgatory_n a_o wicked_a error_n that_o fall_v like_o dagon_n before_o the_o ark_n and_o like_a cloud_n disperse_v by_o the_o sun_n so_o that_o sottish_a

they_o think_v that_o christ_n free_v every_o faithful_a man_n from_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n and_o from_o all_o that_o any_o sin_n have_v devise_v but_o only_o there_o be_v some_o venial_a

he_o have_v so_o deep_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n of_o affliction_n he_o say_v now_o it_o be_v finish_v that_o be_v now_o the_o fierce_a indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v over_o take_v a_o little_a

it_o or_o else_o to_o save_v himself_o by_o swim_v so_o there_o be_v the_o stream_n of_o the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o god_n will_v not_o help_v a_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n and_o he_o can_v help_v himself_o therefore_o the_o stream_n will_v destroy_v he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o free_v himself_o because_o god_n will_v not_o and_o he_o

the_o second_o death_n and_o yet_o not_o the_o eternity_n of_o it_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o thing_n herein_o first_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o death_n threaten_v and_o the_o death_n denounce_v and_o between_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n also_o between_o the_o eternity_n of_o time_n and_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n that_o may_v be_v alter_v and_o change_v as_o the_o debt_n or_o punishment_n be_v full_o suffer_v or_o not_o suffer_v as_o for_o example_n the_o time_n of_o a_o man_n lie_v in_o prison_n be_v no_o

debt_n be_v this_o in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n the_o punishment_n be_v death_n and_o every_o poor_a creature_n must_v die_v the_o first_o and_o

into_o the_o soul_n and_o fill_v the_o soul_n with_o his_o fierce_a indignation_n it_o will_v kill_v a_o man_n even_o in_o this_o life_n therefore_o the_o lord_n by_o death_n take_v away_o a_o poor_a
