because_o it_o come_v of_o man_n own_o will_n and_o ask_v by_o what_o madness_n and_o frenzy_n man_n do_v attribute_v that_o unto_o god_n which_o can_v be_v altogether_o ascribe_v to_o the_o devil_n at_o the_o last_o he_o conclude_v with_o these_o word_n of_o augustine_n nihil_fw-la ergo_fw-la talium_fw-la negotiorum_fw-la deus_fw-la praedestinavit_fw-la ut_fw-la fieret_fw-la nec_fw-la

of_o his_o grace_n these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o s._n augustine_n which_o sure_o be_v marvelous_a full_a of_o pith_n contain_v the_o whole_a sum_n of_o that_o which_o may_v be_v say_v in_o this_o
