hinder_v i_o from_o place_v it_o in_o this_o be_v because_o i_o allow_v not_o any_o reflex_n act_n of_o will_v in_o god_n beside_o that_o direct_a act_n of_o work_v who_o be_v yet_o a_o most_o free_a

the_o understanding_n dictate_v to_o the_o contrary_n whereas_o the_o will_n do_v as_o often_o fail_v in_o choose_v a_o wrong_a object_n which_o the_o understanding_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v evil_a
