the_o church_n agree_v to_o use_v the_o same_o meet_a word_n god_n spirit_n may_v actuate_v their_o desire_n therein_o 5._o we_o hold_v that_o this_o holy_a spirit_n be_v as_o tertullian_n speak_v

reproach_v his_o great_a work_n miraculous_a or_o sanctife_v have_v a_o dangerous_a malignity_n 8._o i_o suppose_v that_o in_o all_o this_o the_o faculty_n of_o man_n own_o soul_n be_v the_o natural_a recipient_n of_o the_o spirit_n influx_n and_o agent_n of_o the_o act_n which_o both_o cause_n effect_v and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o vain_a a_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o by_o natural_a faculty_n that_o we_o pray_v aright_o as_o whether_o it_o be_v god_n as_o fons_fw-la naturae_fw-la or_o man_n natural_a power_n which_o cause_n our_o natural_a act_n or_o whether_o

or_o form_n which_o another_o may_v speak_v the_o help_n of_o knowledge_n hear_v use_n and_o passion_n may_v help_v he_o to_o word_n therefore_o they_o never_o take_v a_o man_n to_o be_v prove_v
