within_o a_o certain_a number_n and_o again_o that_o god_n reward_n always_o exceed_v his_o punish_n to_o the_o glory_n and_o magnify_v of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n which_o by_o far_o exceed_v his_o severity_n and_o vengeance_n in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o sin_n be_v a_o fall_v off_o from_o god_n downward_o which_o in_o a_o short_a time_n come_v to_o its_o end_n whereas_o the_o recovery_n and_o bring_v again_o to_o god_n do_v still_o mount_v upward_o and_o ascend_v high_o and_o high_o to_o infinity_o because_o the_o divine_a glory_n have_v neither_o end_n nor_o limit_n and_o

worse_o but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o change_n of_o it_o from_o evil_a to_o good_a for_o that_o when_o the_o evil_a be_v transchange_v the_o good_a than_o begin_v to_o work_v upward_o by_o innumerable_a step_n of_o ascension_n towards_o god_n though_o it_o can_v never_o reach_v so_o high_a as_o to_o reach_v his_o be_v or_o essence_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o creature_n shall_v become_v god_n but_o must_v therefore_o continue_v to_o mount_v upward_o and_o continual_o attain_v to_o more_o and_o great_a degree_n of_o glory_n for_o be_v not_o every_o

than_o thou_o also_o and_o thy_o daughter_n shall_v return_v to_o your_o former_a estate_n the_o question_n i_o say_v be_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o sodom_n samaria_n and_o jerusalem_n to_o return_v to_o their_o former_a estate_n without_o their_o live_n again_o in_o this_o world_n in_o flesh_n and_o body_n as_o they_o do_v former_o and_o whether_o this_o can_v be_v bring_v about_o any_o

in_o the_o old_a we_o shall_v only_o take_v a_o short_a view_n of_o some_o of_o the_o say_a place_n because_o in_o the_o 200_o query_n they_o have_v be_v more_o large_o handle_v the_o question_n be_v
