grace_n more_o than_o grace_n will_v admit_v of_o work_n grace_n will_v have_v nothing_o the_o law_n will_v have_v perfection_n the_o composition_n be_v a_o contradiction_n 3._o it_o derogate_v from_o

and_o motive_n or_o not_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o these_o argument_n be_v as_o strong_a against_o compounder_n of_o grace_n and_o work_n as_o against_o opposer_n because_o the_o compound_v be_v a_o oppose_v divine_a wisdom_n and_o order_n a_o man_n that_o dig_v though_o the_o spade_n be_v borrow_a of_o his_o master_n will_v not_o think_v his_o wage_n charity_n at_o night_n but_o on_o as_o
