have_v so_o well_o deserve_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n by_o his_o righteousness_n and_o severity_n of_o life_n that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v so_o mind_v he_o can_v have_v redeem_a all_o the_o man_n

church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o participate_v of_o this_o madness_n when_o they_o talk_v of_o the_o treasury_n of_o their_o church_n the_o merit_n of_o their_o saint_n and_o their_o work_n of_o supererogation_a whereby_o they_o free_v many_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n and_o how_o such_o a_o wicked_a man_n wrap_v up_o in_o a_o monk_n habit_n at_o his_o death_n have_v be_v immediate_o

commit_v to_o give_v god_n satisfaction_n by_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o cross_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o expression_n which_o shall_v sound_v harsh_a in_o a_o christian_a ear_n and_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o confine_n of_o divinity_n here_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n exceed_v and_o deviate_v again_o from_o the_o primitive_a rule_n and_o while_o 7._o they_o look_v upon_o these_o severity_n as_o satisfaction_n give_v to_o god_n for_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n that_o remain_v after_o remission_n of_o sin_n they_o seem_v to_o follow_v no_o rule_n but_o that_o of_o their_o own_o fancy_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o this_o notion_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o though_o david_n and_o other_o saint_n have_v use_v these_o severity_n yet_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o intend_v they_o as_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n who_o they_o have_v offend_v but_o have_v other_o end_n in_o they_o such_o as_o we_o shall_v name_v as_o we_o go_v along_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o father_n use_v the_o word_n satisfaction_n often_o when_o they_o discourse_v of_o such_o mortification_n but_o by_o those_o satisfaction_n they_o do_v not_o mean_a satisfaction_n give_v to_o a_o offend_a god_n but_o to_o the_o church_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o sign_n whereby_o our_o fellow-christians_a may_v conclude_v that_o our_o repentance_n be_v real_a and_o free_a from_o hypocrisy_n nor_o iii_o must_v they_o be_v use_v in_o hope_n that_o god_n will_v dispense_v with_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o future_a much_o less_o that_o he_o will_v pass_v by_o those_o that_o we_o have_v commit_v without_o sincere_a repentance_n mere_o for_o these_o severity_n alas_o its_o easy_a to_o punish_v the_o body_n than_o to_o leave_v a_o sin_n and_o while_o the_o sinner_n can_v enjoy_v his_o lust_n what_o need_v he_o care_v if_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o he_o be_v a_o little_a rigid_a and_o unkind_a to_o his_o flesh_n that_o unkindness_n will_v quick_o wear_v out_o again_o and_o the_o body_n fit_v for_o commission_n of_o new_a offence_n god_n do_v not_o value_v these_o severity_n at_o this_o rate_n a_o penitent_a heart_n be_v more_o please_v to_o he_o than_o a_o thousand_o lash_n and_o a_o soul_n that_o grieve_v for_o offend_v a_o gracious_a god_n look_v lovely_a in_o his_o eye_n than_o a_o bloody_a

some_o heathen_a deity_n and_o indeed_o to_o lay_v a_o great_a stress_n upon_o afflict_v the_o body_n then_o upon_o forsake_v of_o sin_n be_v to_o contradict_v that_o notion_n the_o holy_a ghost_n
