A04920	An answer to a great nomber of blasphemous cauillations written by an Anabaptist, and aduersarie to Gods eternal predestination. And confuted by Iohn Knox, minister of Gods worde in Scotland. Wherein the author so discouereth the craft and falshode of that sect, that the godly knowing that error, may be confirmed in the trueth by the euident Worde of God	Knox, John, ca. 1514-1572.	1560 (1560)	STC 15060; ESTC S108122	364,871	458

be_v thy_o cogitation_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n head_n when_o thou_o say_v god_n must_v love_v his_o birth_n because_o he_o have_v give_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o all_o beast_n to_o love_v

for_o all_o these_o three_o reason_n will_v i_o plane_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v first_o y_o t_o he_o do_v not_o for_o his_o dear_a child_n to_o our_o judgement_n that_o which_o beast_n natural_o
