thereof_o and_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v before_o adam_n fall_n can_v not_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v before_o adam_n fall_v we_o know_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o a_o

himself_o be_v evil_a as_o he_o be_v god_n creature_n and_o fréewill_n god_n gift_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o as_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n be_v the_o performance_n of_o god_n purpose_n so_o be_v it_o no_o sin_n but_o exceed_a good_a as_o every_o performance_n of_o god_n purpose_n must_v needs_o be_v and_o so_o the_o predestination_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v no_o

to_o his_o answer_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o write_v a_o few_o line_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o doctrine_n in_o this_o point_n cerberus_n seem_v to_o mislike_v with_o knox_n for_o
