all_o away_o and_o that_o it_o be_v sometime_o mercy_n not_o to_o remove_v misery_n that_o a_o place_n may_v be_v prepare_v for_o great_a mercy_n the_o apostle_n pray_v three_o 8._o time_n to_o have_v the_o prieke_n of_o the_o flesh_n take_v from_o he_o but_o be_v not_o hear_v because_o god_n power_n may_v be_v show_v in_o weakness_n god_n take_v not_o away_o from_o lazarus_n 16._o the_o misery_n

and_o offence_n be_v most_o grievous_a in_o three_o respect_n 1._o first_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n that_o the_o creature_n shall_v not_o obey_v the_o creator_n confider_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o creator_n be_v infinite_o distant_a from_o the_o baseness_n of_o the_o creature_n 2._o if_o the_o command_n of_o the_o creator_n be_v heavy_a and_o hard_o yet_o the_o creature_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v they_o but_o his_o commandment_n 3._o be_v not_o grievous_a say_v st._n john_n and_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n 30._o how_o great_a a_o offence_n be_v it_o then_o that_o the_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v not_o obey_v their_o creator_n in_o so_o easy_a a_o matter_n 3._o if_o god_n have_v not_o threaten_v sinner_n with_o the_o punishment_n of_o everlasting_a death_n man_n perhaps_o may_v have_v cover_v his_o sin_n with_o excuse_n but_o since_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v so_o perspicuous_o denounce_v everlasting_a punishment_n for_o sin_n who_o can_v excuse_v the_o contumacy_n of_o offender_n 4._o last_o if_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v not_o eternal_a we_o may_v marvel_n why_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v everlasting_a but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v eternal_a why_o do_v we_o marvel_v though_o their_o punishment_n be_v eternal_a and_o this_o obstinate_a will_n in_o evil_a which_o shall_v be_v common_a with_o the_o damn_a and_o the_o devil_n this_o perverse_a and_o averse_a will_n from_o god_n which_o will_v ever_o remain_v immovable_a and_o firm_a with_o they_o cause_v just_a and_o holy_a man_n to_o abhor_v sin_n more_o than_o hell_n edmer_n the_o english_a man_n write_v thus_o of_o anselm_n my_o conscience_n anselmi_n

wonderful_a that_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v in_o hell_n pure_a from_o sin_n and_o innocent_a than_o reign_n in_o heaven_n defile_v with_o the_o spot_n or_o stain_v of_o sin_n if_o this_o holy_a man_n so_o speak_v and_o thought_n because_o be_v enlighten_v by_o god_n he_o know_v that_o the_o grievousnesse_n of_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n how_o much_o more_o god_n who_o search_v the_o wickedness_n filthiness_n and_o perversitie_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o bottom_n and_o will_v most_o just_o punish_v and_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o that_o punishment_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o it_o from_o eternity_n therefore_o be_v not_o deceive_v err_v not_o be_v not_o like_a to_o those_o who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o know_v 16._o god_n but_o deny_v
