sometime_o reward_v in_o this_o world_n and_o domineer_a and_o outrageous_a wickedness_n be_v very_o often_o remarkable_o check_v and_o chastise_v all_o which_o instance_n of_o god_n providence_n as_o

and_o obvious_a and_o do_v almost_o of_o themselves_o spring_n up_o in_o every_o man_n mind_n and_o they_o be_v these_o four_o the_o first_o of_o they_o more_o general_a the_o other_o three_o more_o

or_o fault_n this_o seem_v notorious_o to_o contradict_v not_o only_o the_o notion_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o any_o competent_a measure_n and_o degree_n of_o goodness_n three_o the_o eternal_a misery_n and_o punishment_n of_o man_n for_o temporal_a fault_n seem_v hard_a to_o be_v reconcile_v with_o that_o excess_n of_o goodness_n which_o we_o suppose_v to_o be_v in_o god_n four_o the_o

which_o their_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o creature_n endow_v with_o sense_n and_o reason_n which_o only_o be_v capable_a of_o pleasure_n and_o happiness_n god_n have_v take_v care_n to_o

his_o bounty_n towards_o they_o he_o open_v his_o hand_n and_o satisfi_v the_o desire_n of_o every_o live_a thing_n god_n do_v not_o immediate_o bring_v meat_n to_o the_o creature_n when_o they_o be_v
