the_o word_n of_o god_n a_o painful_a searcher_n of_o the_o scripture_n a_o severe_a reprover_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o strict_a man_n in_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n what_o be_v their_o verdict_n

that_o belong_v not_o to_o we_o but_o to_o the_o high_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n neither_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o i_o see_v such_o a_o one_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n therefore_o

of_o reprobation_n so_o long_o as_o he_o so_o continue_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v die_v in_o that_o case_n be_v more_o than_o he_o know_v for_o the_o book_n of_o god_n may_v be_v a_o mean_a of_o

do_v our_o saviour_n christ_n discern_v of_o judas_n to_o be_v a_o devil_n incarnate_a 6._o and_o so_o a_o reprobate_n but_o these_o be_v no_o precedent_n nor_o warrant_n for_o private_a person_n to_o

the_o coherence_n or_o join_v of_o this_o text_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chapter_n in_o this_o chapter_n chapter_n solomon_n make_v a_o division_n of_o sin_n and_o deal_v against_o diverse_a

the_o chapter_n all_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o the_o fan_n that_o god_n sift_v sin_n withal_o shall_v find_v out_o all_o and_o be_v like_o the_o net_n that_o bring_v all_o to_o the_o
