have_v lie_v at_o stake_n if_o we_o look_v about_o into_o the_o work_n of_o god_n he_o have_v write_v this_o part_n of_o his_o mind_n in_o as_o clear_a character_n as_o he_o have_v his_o goodness_n and_o let_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o fall_a angel_n be_v our_o first_o example_n in_o this_o case_n among_o we_o it_o be_v no_o dispute_n but_o that_o there_o be_v myriad_n infinite_a

glory_n and_o happiness_n he_o give_v they_o he_o will_v not_o dishonour_v his_o government_n by_o maintain_v or_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v happy_a in_o their_o disobedience_n but_o condemn_v they_o to_o such_o condition_n as_o they_o deserve_v now_o by_o his_o punish_v they_o let_v we_o weigh_v our_o argument_n against_o his_o punish_v our_o race_n let_v we_o imagine_v we_o see_v so_o many_o

through_o in_o so_o many_o long_a age_n as_o have_v past_a since_o that_o righteous_a sentence_n and_o then_o let_v we_o urge_v our_o argument_n for_o the_o impossibility_n of_o god_n punish_v wickedness_n but_o there_o be_v no_o dispute_v against_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o whatever_o argument_n may_v be_v plausible_o urge_v before_o the_o experiment_n as_o perhaps_o they_o be_v such_o

the_o true_a thought_n that_o this_o case_n seem_v to_o require_v for_o otherwise_o the_o multitude_n of_o sorrow_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o their_o nearness_n to_o ourselves_o will_v

of_o trial_n what_o great_a misery_n must_v there_o be_v in_o store_n against_o that_o time_n when_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n shall_v distribute_v justice_n among_o all_o his_o subject_n his_o punishment_n indeed_o will_v not_o be_v great_a than_o man_n evil_a work_n deserve_v for_o he_o will_v do_v wrong_a to_o none_o but_o what_o their_o sin_n do_v deserve_v he_o have_v give_v we_o sufficient_a assurance_n that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o his_o nature_n to_o inflict_v they_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v discourse_v those_o three_o point_n i_o propose_v i_o be_o sensible_a how_o far_o
