uncapable_a of_o heaven_n be_v it_o not_o hard_o to_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o these_o shall_v have_v that_o joy_n and_o employment_n of_o which_o they_o be_v uncapable_a than_o that_o they_o

that_o it_o be_v as_o sure_o that_o god_n permit_v sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o that_o the_o sun_n shine_v on_o we_o yea_o that_o he_o permit_v that_o universal_a enormous_a deluge_n of_o

what_o ever_o beastly_a sensuality_n may_v gainsay_v if_o then_o the_o visible_a wickedness_n of_o the_o world_n be_v permit_v by_o god_n without_o any_o impeachment_n of_o his_o goodness_n then_o certain_o his_o goodness_n may_v consist_v with_o punishment_n which_o as_o such_o be_v good_a when_o sin_n be_v evil_a and_o much_o of_o this_o punishment_n also_o be_v but_o material_o permit_v by_o

to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n man_n personal_a interest_n be_v a_o unfit_a rule_n and_o measure_n of_o god_n goodness_n 8._o to_o recite_v what_o i_o say_v and_o speak_v it_o plain_o i_o

much_o doubt_v of_o that_o the_o vast_a and_o more_o glorious_a part_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v not_o uninhabited_a but_o that_o they_o have_v inhabitant_n answerable_a to_o their_o magnitude_n
