that_o direction_n it_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n say_v to_o be_v evil_a and_o a_o own-working_a or_o act_n of_o man_n and_o so_o in_o this_o objection_n the_o work_n and_o the_o direction_n of_o

again_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o work_a be_v confound_v take_v the_o work_n and_o the_o sin_n to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o distinguish_v the_o sin_n from_o

§_o 32._o yea_o it_o will_v be_v confusion_n in_o god_n to_o esteem_v two_o thing_n so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o each_o other_o as_o alike_o good_a and_o worthy_a and_o to_o reward_v the_o one_o
