learning_n for_o the_o phrase_n or_o story_n neither_o the_o testimony_n of_o better_a time_n by_o this_o word_n we_o learn_v that_o man_n have_v no_o good_a will_n nor_o have_v his_o will_n power_n to_o return_v to_o god_n until_o grace_v make_v the_o will_v willing_a which_o of_o itself_o be_v unwilling_a and_o then_o but_o not_o till_o then_o do_v it_o work_v with_o grace_n what_o if_o reason_n deny_v this_o and_o teach_v the_o contrary_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v no_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n beside_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n no_o merit_n

not_o give_v over_o his_o place_n to_o another_o which_o shall_v take_v authority_n above_o the_o word_n what_o if_o reason_n deny_v this_o and_o teach_v the_o contrary_a by_o the_o word_n we_o
