four_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v further_o that_o as_o man_n differ_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o punishment_n so_o they_o differ_v concern_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o sin_n some_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o a_o very_a monstrous_a sin_n a_o sin_n as_o black_a as_o hell_n itself_o and_o then_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o demerit_n of_o it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o hell_n torment_v other_o speak_v of_o a_o sin_n which_o they_o describe_v with_o all_o possible_a alleviate_a circumstance_n and_o as_o the_o sin_n they_o speak_v of_o be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n from_o the_o other_o so_o the_o punishment_n be_v which_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v allot_v to_o it_o now_o if_o man_n do_v agree_v about_o the_o sin_n there_o can_v be_v little_a dispute_n about_o the_o punishment_n the_o reverend_a dr._n hammond_n in_o his_o paraphrase_n on_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o rom._n 13._o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n advice_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o gnostic_n and_o he_o refer_v we_o to_o the_o 8_o verse_n of_o st._n jude_n epistle_n to_o see_v what_o that_o be_v and_o there_o we_o have_v a_o account_n of_o a_o company_n of_o wretched_a woeful_a sinner_n such_o as_o no_o man_n now_o in_o europe_n will_v be_v in_o the_o least_o concern_v to_o pity_n if_o he_o think_v that_o hell-torment_n be_v decree_v for_o they_o and_o so_o in_o reference_n to_o they_o damnation_n in_o the_o text_n may_v be_v interpret_v in_o the_o strict_a and_o most_o severe_a sense_n they_o be_v describe_v judas_n 8_o as_o filthy_a dreamer_n that_o defile_v the_o flesh_n despise_v dominion_n and_o speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n upon_o which_o word_n dr._n hammond_n in_o his_o paraphrase_n say_v that_o they_o fall_v into_o all_o unnatural_a filthy_a practice_n and_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a liberty_n so_o as_o to_o free_v all_o christian_n from_o all_o authority_n of_o master_n or_o king_n here_o we_o have_v two_o characteristic_a note_n of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v most_o impudent_o declare_v against_o all_o manner_n of_o civil_a government_n and_o against_o all_o manner_n of_o virtuous_a

therefore_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o the_o dr._n hint_n that_o st._n paul_n discourse_n in_o that_o chapter_n be_v entire_o direct_v against_o these_o and_o perhaps_o the_o author_n of_o the_o

and_o now_o one_o of_o our_o right_a reverend_a father_n in_o god_n speak_v their_o sin_n and_o folly_n in_o these_o word_n the_o gnostic_n think_v all_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n to_o

speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n which_o they_o be_v charge_v with_o by_o st._n judas_n now_o if_o these_o be_v the_o man_n and_o that_o the_o sin_n which_o st._n paul_n provide_v against_o in_o the_o
