1 God does permit sin
& thereby furthers many of
his own designs & purposes.
Not Exist – had he not made mor. [moral] beings.
He permits it for their trial – & for the good
he may bring out of it in the future.

2 God will surely thwart
all its Evil plans – &
hurl its consequ^s [consequences] back on
those who plotted it.

The wrath of men shall praise
him – the Embodied wickedness & rebellion of
t. [the] universe shall bow to him – Spirits burning hot
with evil shall fall – Beware, sinner, lest
thou be with t. [the] most loathed, abject, debased &c. [etc.]!!
