to_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n from_o who_o infinity_n man_n guilt_n shall_v swell_v up_o so_o as_o to_o deserve_v infinite_a wage_n the_o wrath_n then_o of_o god_n be_v sure_a beforehand_o only_o the_o benefit_n we_o have_v by_o his_o reveal_n it_o be_v the_o apply_v of_o that_o truth_n to_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o seek_v out_o and_o provide_v a_o remedy_n of_o the_o judgement_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n i_o shall_v premise_v be_v that_o till_o the_o gospel_n come_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n vindictive_a justice_n be_v much_o hide_v and_o conceal_v it_o

light_n of_o the_o law_n to_o direct_v they_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o contain_v a_o like_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n which_o the_o gospel_n afford_v we_o 1._o for_o the_o light_n of_o

not_o up_o to_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o creation_n they_o be_v therefore_o just_o liable_a to_o the_o curse_n but_o how_o far_o that_o judgement_n shall_v certain_o extend_v herein_o the_o light_n fail_v to_o guide_v they_o reason_n itself_o teach_v they_o to_o conclude_v the_o wicked_a deserve_a punishment_n but_o the_o reason_n do_v not_o suffice_v to_o confirm_v that_o punishment_n in_o another_o world_n for_o how_o man_n can_v eternal_o subsist_v in_o a_o course_n of_o misery_n they_o understand_v not_o nor_o what_o consistency_n there_o be_v of_o a_o immortal_a be_v with_o
