infidelity_n and_o other_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o scripture_n now_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o fundamental_a reason_n of_o this_o difference_n as_o to_o the_o vindication_n of_o some_o and_o toleration_n of_o other_o some_o sin_n must_v be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sin_n so_o vindicate_v or_o tolerate_v for_o 1._o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v

for_o those_o sin_n against_o the_o positive_a evangelical_n law_n the_o case_n be_v much_o otherwise_o for_o 1._o no_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n bring_v or_o can_v bring_v a_o just_a

promulgation_n to_o one_o which_o be_v not_o to_o another_o according_a to_o the_o different_a measure_n of_o part_n and_o ability_n in_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v promulge_v for_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v a_o large_a measure_n of_o understanding_n and_o learning_n may_v soon_o come_v unless_o they_o be_v wilful_o obstinate_a to_o a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o

whereas_o other_o of_o no_o learning_n and_o less_o natural_a ability_n may_v innocent_o disbelieve_v till_o further_a mean_n proportionable_a to_o their_o capacity_n be_v use_v for_o their_o

calamity_n not_o a_o crime_n shall_v make_v magistrate_n very_o cautious_a not_o to_o precipitate_v the_o punishment_n of_o such_o misbelieve_a person_n for_o see_v in_o all_o such_o punishment_n there_o shall_v be_v congnitio_fw-la culpae_fw-la before_o there_o can_v be_v inflictio_fw-la paenae_fw-la he_o that_o punish_v before_o he_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o person_n so_o punish_v be_v

no_o promulgation_n of_o any_o positive_a law_n be_v sufficient_a till_o the_o person_n be_v convince_v to_o who_o it_o be_v promulge_v unless_o through_o their_o own_o perverseness_n for_o end_n and_o interest_n they_o wilful_o hinder_v such_o conviction_n now_o whether_o the_o infidelity_n of_o the_o jew_n arise_v from_o the_o perversity_n of_o their_o own_o will_n or_o from_o their_o infirmity_n and_o want_n of_o sufficient_a preach_a and_o promulgation_n it_o be_v very_o hard_o if_o not_o impossible_a for_o any_o magistrate_n to_o know_v and_o till_o it_o be_v know_v they_o can_v be_v just_o punish_v for_o their_o infidelity_n which_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v sin_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o body_n else_o till_o after_o sufficient_a promulgation_n they_o wilful_o reject_v the_o gospel_n now_o this_o great_a difficulty_n and_o almost_o impossibility_n to_o know_v when_o they_o wilful_o and_o so_o criminal_o reject_v the_o gospel_n make_v it_o very_o difficult_a proportionable_o and_o almost_o impossible_a for_o any_o magistrate_n just_o to_o punish_v they_o for_o such_o rejection_n 4._o we_o common_o say_v and_o there_o be_v much_o truth_n in_o it_o if_o right_o understand_v that_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v such_o as_o can_v be_v understand_v and_o he_o assent_v to_o without_o the_o special_a assistance_n of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n of_o god_n nothing_o so_o that_o those_o who_o want_v this_o assistance_n or_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o it_o as_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o overcome_v all_o oppose_a difficulty_n can_v possible_o believe_v and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v very_o questionable_a whether_o infidelity_n in_o such_o be_v a_o sin_n it_o not_o be_v in_o their_o power_n without_o such_o assistance_n to_o believe_v this_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v the_o open_n of_o the_o heart_n so_o when_o saint_n paul_n preach_v lydia_n believe_v other_o do_v not_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v in_o the_o text_n 14._o god_n

it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o her_o soul_n and_o the_o only_a passive_a in_o that_o particular_a so_o the_o not_o believe_v of_o other_o who_o heart_n he_o be_v not_o please_v to_o open_a

see_v no_o humane_a magistrate_n can_v know_v whether_o the_o jew_n now_o have_v such_o assistance_n or_o what_o measure_n of_o it_o they_o have_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o they_o to_o punish_v lest_o in_o so_o do_v they_o may_v punish_v they_o for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v which_o with_o what_o justice_n or_o warrant_n from_o god_n word_n they_o
