A30629	Cavsa dei, or, An apology for God wherein the perpetuity of infernal torments is evidenced and divine both goodness and justice, that notwithstanding, defended : the nature of punishments in general, and of infernal ones in particular displayed : the evangelical righteousness explicated and setled : the divinity of the Gentiles both as to things to be believed, and things to be practised, adumbrated, and the wayes whereby it was communicated, plainly discover'd / by Richard Burthogge ...

neither_o be_v intrinsical_o and_o subjective_o infinite_a nor_o indeed_o can_v possible_o be_v so_o that_o if_o the_o sin_n subjective_o and_o intrinsical_o be_v finite_a the_o punishment_n ordain_v
