do_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o eternal_a and_o immutable_a counsel_n of_o god_n the_o third_o be_v both_o in_o the_o understanding_n and_o also_o in_o the_o will_n because_o god_n as_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n immutable_o so_o also_o he_o have_v decree_v from_o everlasting_a &_o will_v immutable_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v as_o they_o be_v good_a and_o permit_v they_o as_o they_o be_v
