The five and thirtieth Excuse. I would not so Torment mine enemy my self.
Answ. No reason you should. Is it all one to wrong you, and to wrong the God of Heaven? God is the only Judge of his own wrongs.
The six and thirtieth Excuse. All men are sinners; and I was but a sinner.
Answ. All were not Impenitent, Unbelieving, Rebellious sinners; and therefore all are not unpardoned condemned sinners. All did not live after the flesh, and refuse to the last, to be converted, as you did. God will teach you better to difference between sinners and sinners.
The seven and thirtieth Excuse. But if Christ have satisfied for my sins, and dyed for me, then how can I justly suffer for the same sins? will God punish one sin twice?
