19.25_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o the_o destruction_n of_o sodom_n none_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n be_v spare_v no_o not_o the_o infant_n and_o suckling_n but_o god_n rain_v down_o fire_n and_o

but_o what_o be_v original_o in_o their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o to_o clear_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o punish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o text_n be_v evident_a that_o be_v original_o

against_o they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o for_o how_o can_v a_o most_o pure_a god_n love_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v pollute_v this_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n who_o pure_a eye_n can_v

of_o the_o best_a man_n child_n be_v sinful_a though_o their_o person_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o external_a fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n be_v repute_v holy_a &_o therefore_o parent_n by_o

in_o respect_n of_o their_o nature_n for_o that_o appear_v to_o be_v sinful_a and_o filthy_a but_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o stipulation_n and_o covenant_n which_o be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o
