more_o than_o you_o can_v do_v meaning_n with_o a_o good_a conscience_n like_o this_o saint_n paul_n have_v a_o say_n in_o 2_o cor._n 13.8_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o further_a satisfaction_n to_o my_o ingenuous_a reader_n i_o refer_v he_o to_o that_o famous_a and_o worthy_a work_n of_o mr._n john_n goodwin_n of_o london_n entitle_v

and_o the_o truth_n evince_v beyond_o all_o exception_n chap._n ix._o concerning_o foreknowledge_n in_o god_n there_o be_v many_o that_o by_o foreknowledge_n will_v needs_o understand_v approbation_n and_o love_n rather_o than_o knowledge_n proper_o take_v but_o that_o can_v be_v because_o then_o the_o apostle_n paul_n and_o peter_n difference_n between_o foreknowledge_n and_o to_o predestinate_v to_o foreknow_v and_o to_o elect_a will_v be_v quite_o take_v away_o but_o if_o any_o shall_v contend_v to_o have_v it_o so_o notwithstanding_o i_o will_v fetch_v a_o poor_a almanac_n to_o wipe_v away_o this_o gloss_n by_o the_o common_a use_n of_o the_o word_n prognostication_n therefore_o though_o god_n approve_v not_o yet_o he_o foresee_v all_o thing_n or_o rather_o see_v they_o as_o present_v to_o he_o which_o foreknowledge_n or_o knowledge_n do_v not_o lay_v a_o necessity_n upon_o the_o thing_n so_o to_o be_v for_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o knowledge_n do_v not_o imply_v a_o
