also_o upon_o they_o as_o their_o desert_n three_o remember_v and_o well_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o adam_n sin_n from_o the_o beginning_n do_v and_o now_o do_v bring_v man_n down_o to_o the_o dust_n or_o first_o death_n and_o also_o well_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v as_o general_o believe_v that_o the_o second_o death_n or_o hell_n torment_n be_v a_o

if_o god_n do_v intend_v hell_n torment_v to_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o adam_n sin_n either_o you_o must_v imagine_v that_o god_n do_v purpose_n and_o decree_n and_o so_o according_o declare_v to_o
