it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o cleanse_v and_o purify_v himself_o as_o far_o as_o possible_a from_o all_o filthiness_n and_o pollution_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n to_o avoid_v the_o

a_o man_n consist_v in_o know_v some_o thing_n right_o but_o in_o god_n consist_v in_o know_v all_o thing_n as_o purity_n in_o man_n consist_v in_o honest_a endeavour_n after_o innocence_n and_o

as_o we_o have_v opportunity_n within_o the_o narrow_a sphere_n of_o our_o activity_n but_o in_o god_n be_v diffusive_a to_o all_o his_o creature_n so_o if_o it_o be_v justice_n universal_a in_o man_n to_o make_v good_a as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v capable_a every_o thing_n that_o be_v due_a to_o other_o universal_a justice_n in_o god_n must_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n only_o infinite_o

according_a to_o that_o power_n he_o be_v entrust_v with_o to_o punish_v those_o who_o do_v ill_a and_o to_o reward_v those_o who_o do_v well_o and_o if_o no_o man_n can_v be_v count_v universal_o

by_o this_o that_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o it_o 5.10_o 2_o cor._n 5.10_o we_o shall_v all_o receive_v according_a to_o what_o we_o have_v do_v in_o the_o flesh_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o

infinite_o just_a and_o if_o he_o fail_v of_o infinity_o in_o any_o one_o proper_a attribute_n he_o can_v real_o be_v infinite_a in_o none_o so_o not_o infinite_o wise_a or_o merciful_a or_o holy_a if_o withal_o he_o be_v not_o infinite_o just_a but_o if_o we_o allow_v that_o god_n be_v indeed_o infinite_o just_a then_o though_o we_o allow_v he_o to_o be_v infinite_o good_a and_o merciful_a yet_o his_o justice_n must_v as_o certain_o be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o punishment_n of_o criminal_n who_o be_v obstinate_a in_o their_o crime_n as_o his_o mercy_n in_o pardon_v criminal_n who_o be_v true_o sensible_a of_o that_o gild_n they_o lie_v under_o now_o among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n there_o be_v none_o who_o be_v not_o great_a sinner_n therefore_o they_o be_v all_o proper_o the_o object_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o infinite_a justice_n can_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o those_o who_o be_v sinner_n be_v punish_v therefore_o that_o must_v be_v true_a that_o that_o mercy_n be_v as_o infinite_a which_o pardon_v one_o criminal_a who_o have_v deserve_v punishment_n as_o that_o justice_n be_v which_o condign_o punish_v all_o delinquent_n and_o this_o stand_v good_a let_v the_o pardon_n be_v grant_v on_o what_o consideration_n soever_o for_o for_o justice_n to_o punish_v the_o guilty_a be_v but_o natural_a but_o for_o mercy_n to_o pardon_v they_o seem_v not_o so_o

of_o all_o kind_n to_o act_v by_o and_o all_o possible_a encouragement_n for_o they_o to_o manage_v themselves_o by_o those_o rule_n and_o all_o this_o when_o there_o be_v no_o merit_n on_o the_o
