with_o the_o equity_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o afflict_v and_o punish_v they_o which_o molest_v and_o trouble_v his_o child_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n god_n have_v stamp_v in_o man_n who_o be_v his_o own_o image_n the_o print_n of_o this_o justice_n can_v a_o prince_n endure_v that_o his_o servant_n shall_v be_v abuse_v for_o do_v his_o will_n and_o commandment_n will_v he_o not_o

suffer_v the_o same_o will_v it_o not_o be_v judge_v a_o unjust_a thing_n have_v not_o the_o righteous_a god_n that_o care_n of_o his_o servant_n that_o a_o earthly_a man_n have_v be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o that_o have_v write_v this_o point_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o breast_n of_o man_n shall_v neglect_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o suffer_v his_o own_o servant_n for_o obey_v his_o will_n to_o be_v persecute_v and_o wrong_v and_o that_o before_o his_o own_o face_n and_o put_v it_o up_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o this_o life_n he_o do_v so_o none_o more_o free_a from_o judgement_n and_o vengeance_n than_o they_o that_o persecute_v god_n servant_n none_o live_v more_o merry_o none_o die_v with_o more_o ease_n why_o then_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v that_o therefore_o there_o must_v come_v a_o day_n of_o doom_n wherein_o they_o must_v answer_v it_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o just_a judge_n and_o therefore_o the_o few_o judgement_n overtake_v the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o this_o life_n and_o the_o more_o they_o triumph_v over_o god_n servant_n the_o more_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o assure_v and_o persuade_v of_o this_o day_n of_o judgement_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n to_o be_v hear_v but_o this_o it_o stand_v with_o god_n justice_n to_o hear_v the_o same_o it_o will_v affect_v and_o comfort_v god_n child_n in_o their_o affliction_n to_o behold_v some_o present_a judgement_n of_o god_n or_o man_n upon_o they_o which_o persecute_v they_o and_o it_o much_o dismay_v they_o when_o they_o see_v no_o hope_n of_o help_n either_o from_o god_n or_o man_n in_o this_o life_n but_o this_o aught_o to_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o for_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n that_o in_o this_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n the_o lord_n will_v render_v affliction_n to_o those_o which_o trouble_v his_o servant_n this_o then_o be_v the_o best_a revenge_n that_o christian_n can_v execute_v upon_o their_o persecutor_n even_o with_o faith_n and_o patience_n to_o suffer_v persecution_n and_o affliction_n at_o their_o hand_n for_o the_o more_o they_o suffer_v the_o more_o they_o bind_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o justice_n in_o this_o day_n to_o judge_v and_o revenge_v their_o cause_n so_o that_o if_o christian_n by_o dint_n of_o sword_n can_v subdue_v all_o their_o enemy_n they_o have_v not_o therein_o such_o just_a matter_n of_o comfort_n as_o in_o their_o patient_a &_o faithful_a suffering_n the_o less_o we_o revenge_v the_o more_o have_v god_n in_o justice_n bind_v himself_o to_o be_v avenge_v of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v great_a folly_n to_o think_v
of_o some_o that_o will_v be_v repute_v christian_n that_o it_o be_v less_o disgrace_n for_o a_o man_n in_o their_o eye_n to_o serve_v a_o hangman_n then_o to_o serve_v jesus_n christ._n judge_n you_o
