the_o grave_n be_v understand_v by_o most_o of_o the_o protestant_n 4._o that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o damn_a shall_v be_v for_o all_o eternity_n and_o not_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n only_o 5._o that_o adam_n do_v present_o upon_o his_o creation_n fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o transfer_v original_a sin_n upon_o all_o mankind_n so_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o fall_n

so_o as_o if_o it_o be_v show_v that_o the_o protestant_n and_o the_o catholic_n do_v mayne_o dissent_v in_o the_o mean_n of_o obtain_v grace_n and_o purchase_v of_o salvation_n it_o must_v of_o
