argument_n of_o macedonius_n against_o augustine_n first_o he_o say_v in_o this_o let_n go_v we_o seem_v to_o allow_v that_o which_o we_o will_v have_v punish_v but_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o we_o will_v have_v punish_v therefore_o we_o seem_v to_o allow_v of_o sin_n itself_o so_o then_o we_o make_v ourselves_o guilty_a because_o the_o allower_n and_o author_n of_o the_o offence_n be_v both_o alike_o culpable_a wherefore_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o offence_n that_o they_o be_v who_o we_o so_o let_v go_v augustine_n answer_v we_o while_o we_o crave_v to_o have_v those_o yield_v unto_o the_o church_n seek_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o sin_n shall_v go_v unpunished_a but_o rather_o amend_v even_o as_o god_n when_o he_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o arise_v upon_o the_o wicked_a do_v it_o not_o that_o sin_n shall_v escape_v unpunished_a but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v by_o his_o goodness_n provoke_v they_o to_o repentance_n moreover_o we_o will_v in_o any_o wise_a that_o sin_n shall_v be_v punish_v howbeit_o by_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o punishment_n that_o be_v by_o repentance_n not_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o authority_n second_o macedonius_n object_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o civil_a power_n will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o what_o end_n shall_v there_o be_v prison_n gallow_n hangman_n executioner_n &_o such_o like_a if_o guilty_a person_n as_o you_o will_v shall_v be_v let_v go_v unpunished_a but_o augustine_n say_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a because_o they_o punish_v the_o impenitent_a and_o obstinate_a but_o other_o which_o promise_n that_o they_o will_v amend_v their_o life_n your_o power_n and_o instrument_n of_o punishment_n do_v bring_v they_o hereunto_o for_o unless_o they_o shall_v be_v terrify_v by_o this_o mean_n they_o will_v continue_v in_o their_o mischief_n so_o as_o our_o intercession_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o your_o severe_a power_n nay_o rather_o if_o the_o same_o be_v not_o our_o intercession_n shall_v have_v no_o place_n moreover_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v they_o available_a that_o we_o may_v lead_v a_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a life_n among_o the_o wicked_a three_o macedonius_n argue_v the_o punishment_n that_o we_o lie_v upon_o the_o guilty_a be_v either_o just_a or_o unjust_a if_o they_o be_v unjust_a let_v they_o be_v remoove_v and_o let_v they_o no_o more_o appear_v in_o the_o common_a weal_n but_o if_o they_o be_v just_a wherefore_o do_v you_o hinder_v they_o with_o your_o intercession_n augustine_n answer_v they_o be_v just_a against_o they_o which_o be_v stubborn_a and_o obstinate_a in_o their_o sin_n but_o when_o there_o come_v promise_n of_o amendment_n and_o repentance_n forsomuch_o as_o the_o guilty_a person_n be_v change_v the_o punishment_n must_v also_o be_v change_v or_o take_v away_o hereunto_o macedonius_n add_v they_o which_o be_v so_o deliver_v it_o come_v often_o to_o pass_v that_o they_o afterward_o fall_v again_o into_o the_o self_n same_o vice_n or_o else_o commit_v those_o that_o be_v more_o grievous_a augustine_n answer_v see_v this_o be_v not_o do_v by_o our_o fault_n nor_o will_n neither_o do_v we_o make_v intercession_n for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v become_v such_o evil_a person_n again_o macedonius_n say_v yet_o further_o other_o be_v corrupt_v by_o this_o example_n will_v more_o vehement_o run_v astray_o and_o so_o all_o thing_n will_v be_v fill_v with_o theft_n and_o robbery_n whereunto_o augustine_n say_v god_n also_o will_v easy_o sustain_v this_o kind_n either_o of_o reproach_n or_o

that_o thing_n take_v away_o by_o theft_n and_o robbery_n will_v not_o be_v restore_v unto_o this_o augustine_n say_v it_o will_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v so_o for_o that_o be_v reckon_v to_o be_v no_o

hinder_v these_o thing_n have_v we_o hear_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o augustine_n and_o macedonius_n according_a to_o both_o part_n of_o the_o question_n propound_v i_o may_v add_v that_o james_n in_o his_o epistle_n write_v 13_o james._n 2._o 13_o that_o judgement_n without_o mercy_n remain_v unto_o he_o who_o have_v not_o show_v mercy_n 32._o eze._n 18._o 32._o and_o also_o that_o ezechiel_n who_o under_o the_o person_n of_o god_n say_v i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o live_v 9_o some_o man_n perhaps_o will_v marvel_v why_o augustine_n set_v not_o down_o among_o his_o reason_n macedonius_n a_o consideration_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o augustine_n and_o macedonius_n that_o the_o guilty_a sort_n must_v also_o be_v spare_v because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a or_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o their_o lust_n or_o frail_a affection_n and_o therefore_o do_v fall_v into_o so_o gréevous_a offence_n héereunto_o i_o answer_v perhaps_o augustine_n comprehend_v this_o kind_n of_o argument_n when_o he_o say_v that_o man_n infirmity_n must_v be_v consider_v and_o certain_o to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o overcome_v with_o lust_n pertain_v to_o imbecility_n howbeit_o we_o may_v otherwise_o answer_v that_o he_o prudent_o omit_v this_o because_o he_o will_v not_o sustain_v the_o person_n of_o a_o defender_n but_o of_o a_o intercessor_n it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o part_n to_o minish_v or_o extenuate_v sin_n he_o confess_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v noughtilie_o do_v for_o the_o which_o he_o entreat_v but_o he_o crave_v a_o remission_n furthermore_o they_o which_o commit_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v punishable_a by_o the_o public_a law_n know_v they_o to_o be_v sin_n mâ—n_z they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n can_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o phrentike_a mâ—n_z neither_o can_v they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n be_v compare_v as_o of_o some_o they_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v frantic_a and_o out_o of_o their_o wit_n who_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v pity_v than_o punish_v for_o as_o yet_o reason_n reign_v in_o those_o man_n but_o in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v extinguish_v or_o else_o stop_v moreover_o the_o frantic_a person_n do_v not_o procure_v the_o evil_a unto_o themselves_o but_o they_o which_o obey_v lust_n do_v otherwhile_o stir_v they_o up_o they_o seek_v occasion_n they_o shun_v they_o not_o nor_o yet_o wrestle_v against_o they_o neither_o do_v they_o repress_v outward_a action_n which_o they_o may_v do_v although_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o regenerate_v wherefore_o the_o comparison_n be_v very_o unlike_a augustine_n to_o the_o first_o reason_n of_o augustine_n 10_o but_o because_o the_o reason_n of_o augustine_n under_o correction_n of_o so_o notable_a a_o man_n be_v not_o firm_a therefore_o must_v they_o be_v confute_v which_o as_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v do_v so_o i_o judge_v it_o very_o profitable_a first_o he_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v more_o pardonable_a as_o he_o term_v it_o when_o they_o have_v promise_n of_o amendment_n and_o also_o repentance_n join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o ought_v no_o long_a to_o be_v punish_v severelie_o unto_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o pardon_v which_o follow_v faith_n unto_o which_o be_v adjoin_v repentance_n be_v obtain_v of_o god_n and_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o civil_a judge_n who_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o thing_n already_o do_v not_o unto_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v present_a second_o to_o the_o second_o he_o add_v that_o the_o severity_n of_o law_n seek_v correction_n but_o that_o those_o man_n be_v correct_v by_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o that_o therefore_o nothing_o else_o must_v be_v any_o more_o wrest_a from_o they_o by_o violence_n but_o correction_n be_v seek_v for_o by_o the_o magistrate_n not_o only_o for_o his_o cause_n that_o be_v punish_v but_o also_o for_o other_o man_n sake_n
