temporal_a pain_n punish_v only_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o which_o only_o they_o can_v judge_v and_o therefore_o the_o thief_n may_v abstain_v from_o theft_n for_o fear_n of_o hang_v and_o yet_o

fear_v of_o hell_n keep_v a_o man_n from_o theft_n it_o will_v restrain_v he_o also_o from_o the_o desire_n and_o consequent_o fear_v of_o hell_n can_v not_o be_v ill_a but_o rather_o good_a which_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o ill_a but_o rather_o a_o cause_n why_o we_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o although_o some_o peradventure_o yea_o and_o without_o peradventure_o will_v sin_v and_o neglegcte_v

it_o followethe_v that_o they_o can_v not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o their_o wit_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v just_a because_o this_o verity_n must_v appear_v to_o the_o understanding_n

for_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o recover_v his_o health_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v well_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o recover_v because_o while_o his_o disease_n remain_v he_o can_v
