  22. Fealch, so is Piety Consultation. Arts, Armes, Bocks,
  23. Instruments, and Teacbers, every one to its se verat end. Out
  24. ot the Bictops opinion it follomes as well as fromine, that
  25. Mledicine is superAtnons 10 Flealtb. Therefore from his opi-
  26. nion as well as frommine, it follometh, (it suoh ratiocination
  27. Were not unsonnd,) that Piety. Consultation, c. are al (o
  28. superstuons to their respectrive ends. And for the superstuit
  29. of Larves, Whatsoever be thetruch of the Duestion bermeon

  33. But the greatest inconvenience of all that the Biltrop pre-
  34. tends may be drann frem this opinion is, char Cod in justice
  35. cannor punnistr a man wich exernal cormens for doins chac,
  36. which ic masnerer in his porverrolearenodone. It is trne,
  37. that sceine the name of punnistment hath relation tothename
  38. of Crime, ihere can be ne punistment but for Crimes tbat
  39. miehehave been left undone; but instead of punnictimene is he

  41. for sin e doihhe nor asstict those Creatures that Cannot (n: and
  42. sometimes ihose that ean sin, aud jet not for fin, as 70b and
  43. the Man in the Cospel zhat masborn blind, for the manifesta

  49. Is it not CrueltY: Nomore than todothe same for sin, mhen

  52. aman sail be after this life. Eterxally intorments and never

  54. Scripture saith there is? Or mhere doththe Scripture say that
  55. a second deathis an endless life: Or dothe Doctors onely say it E
  56. then perhaps they dobui sayso and for reasons best lnomn to
  57. themselves. There is no injustice nor crueltu in him that si-
