with_o god_n providence_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o mercy_n and_o the_o god_n of_o justice_n as_o he_o shall_v see_v cause_n to_o let_v both_o his_o mercy_n and_o his_o justice_n meet_v together_o both_o upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o godly_a as_o for_o instance_n many_o time_n he_o confer_v benefit_n upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o suffer_v they_o to_o go_v free_a from_o punishment_n there_o be_v his_o mercy_n though_o short_a and_o temporal_a but_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o they_o he_o punish_v eternal_o there_o be_v his_o justice_n again_o many_o time_n he_o punish_v the_o

in_o reward_v eternal_o and_o in_o both_o these_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n providence_n be_v discover_v so_o more_o particular_o god_n do_v sometime_o permit_v the_o wicked_a to_o have_v a_o sound_a
