to_o the_o gospel_n too_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n or_o angel_n to_o come_v to_o understand_v this_o mystery_n but_o by_o this_o gospel-light_n how_o god_n shall_v be_v infinite_o merciful_a

will_v save_v they_o by_o such_o a_o way_n as_o i_o will_v have_v as_o much_o glory_n of_o my_o justice_n as_o if_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v be_v damn_v to_o all_o eternity_n this_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o though_o god_n manifest_v infinite_a mercy_n yet_o god_n have_v a_o way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o gospel_n by_o which_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v as_o much_o honour_a and_o satisfy_v as_o if_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v be_v cast_v into_o everlasting_a burn_n that_o
