that_o he_o command_v ob._n abraham_n to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n and_o bad_a the_o israelite_n to_o rob_v the_o egyptian_n and_o will_v the_o death_n of_o his_o own_o son_n etc._n etc._n but_o all_o

be_v no_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o transgress_a of_o his_o commandment_n and_o yet_o for_o the_o full_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n viz._n the_o do_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v or_o command_v i_o say_v that_o in_o some_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sin_n in_o other_o no_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o do_v what_o he_o bid_v but_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v it_o in_o that_o very_a manner_n that_o he_o prescribe_v and_o to_o that_o very_a end_n which_o he_o intend_v quia_fw-la modus_fw-la &_o finis_fw-la actionis_fw-la constituunt_fw-la actionem_fw-la because_o the_o manner_n and_o the_o end_n of_o a_o action_n do_v make_v the_o action_n good_a or_o bad_a and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o if_o abraham_n evil_n the_o manner_n of_o do_v and_o the_o end_n of_o action_n make_v they_o either_o good_a or_o evil_n have_v kill_v his_o son_n mere_o because_o he_o will_v obey_v god_n and_o fulfil_v his_o will_n in_o all_o particular_a respect_n he_o have_v not_o sin_v nor_o yet_o the_o jew_n in_o crucify_a the_o son_n of_o god_n whereof_o the_o other_o be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n if_o they_o have_v do_v the_o same_o only_o to_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o to_o the_o same_o end_n as_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o same_o but_o they_o do_v not_o so_o therefore_o they_o sin_v for_o god_n give_v he_o out_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o his_o love_n to_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v redeem_v by_o he_o but_o they_o put_v he_o to_o death_n out_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o their_o

commit_v by_o they_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n which_o be_v the_o author_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n 2._o as_o he_o can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o punishment_n that_o god_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o author_n of_o any_o punishment_n the_o evil_a of_o sin_n because_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o grace_n so_o can_v he_o not_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n because_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o peace_n for_o peace_n be_v a_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o consent_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o due_a order_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o distraction_n or_o diwlsion_n but_o punishment_n be_v the_o distract_n and_o disturb_v of_o the_o quiet_a disposition_n of_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o natural_a inclination_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o god_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n but_o for_o the_o better_a
