of_o a_o new_a apostle_n in_o judas_n his_o stead_n they_o make_v choice_n of_o one_o to_o bear_v witness_n of_o what_o christ_n have_v say_v and_o do_v and_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n from_o

do_v burn_v city_n destroy_v family_n kingdom_n how_o do_v he_o do_v it_o there_o be_v two_o way_n that_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n first_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o by_o his_o decree_a of_o they_o second_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o by_o see_v to_o mean_n that_o shall_v certain_o execute_v

execute_v by_o god_n than_o god_n may_v true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v author_n of_o they_o i_o have_v do_v they_o say_v god_n first_o then_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o punishment_n in_o a_o city_n in_o as_o much_o as_o when_o ever_o these_o evil_n come_v upon_o a_o city_n or_o people_n they_o be_v first_o decree_v by_o god_n they_o do_v not_o come_v by_o chance_n they_o be_v of_o god_n lay_v on_o as_o the_o prophet_n intimate_v god_n have_v determine_v of_o they_o before_o hand_n and_o this_o will_v be_v clear_a if_o you_o do_v but_o consult_v several_a like_o case_n when_o evil_n have_v befall_v a_o world_n of_o people_n and_o befall_v city_n they_o come_v not_o accidental_o but_o they_o come_v by_o the_o determinate_a counsel_n of_o god_n we_o will_v give_v you_o some_o of_o these_o instance_n one_o of_o the_o most_o universal_a plague_n that_o god_n ever_o pour_v down_o upon_o this_o world_n be_v that_o of_o the_o deluge_n when_o he_o drown_v it_o why_o whence_o come_v
