his_o phrase_n of_o sin_n do_v not_o god_n necessitate_v the_o will_n to_o sin_n since_o man_n be_v hereby_o make_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n and_o god_n the_o principal_a overrule_a efficient_a

five_o be_v not_o that_o sinful_a which_o be_v prohibit_v but_o the_o act_n itself_o be_v forbid_v man_n or_o forbid_a to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n and_o their_o do_v or_o act_v make_v they_o

not_o man_n transgress_v and_o violate_v the_o divine_a precept_n when_o they_o either_o commit_v or_o omit_v the_o forbid_a action_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o very_o many_o learned_a man_n rational_o conclude_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o a_o privation_n but_o a_o positive_a thing_n since_o the_o act_n be_v always_o forbid_a and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v formal_o evil_a and_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o conjecture_v what_o can_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o privation_n or_o if_o the_o act_n be_v place_v how_o the_o obliquity_n do_v not_o necessary_o result_v six_o to_o permit_v be_v proper_o a_o not_o hinder_v or_o impede_v man_n to_o act_n therefore_o the_o act_n be_v permit_v for_o what_o can_v be_v hinder_v can_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v permit_v but_o the_o obliquity_n be_v such_o seven_o if_o it_o be_v the_o obliquity_n and_o not_o the_o act_n that_o be_v permit_v than_o neither_o devil_n nor_o man_n can_v tempt_v we_o to_o sin_n for_o they_o can_v do_v any_o more_o but_o entice_v and_o allure_v we_o to_o the_o commit_v or_o omit_v of_o the_o act_n which_o be_v place_v the_o obliquity_n do_v necessary_o result_v eigth_o be_v man_n any_o other_o way_n say_v to_o be_v hinder_v from_o sin_v but_o because_o they_o be_v impede_v from_o commit_v the_o act_n how_o then_o can_v the_o holy_a lord_n be_v the_o prime_n efficient_a cause_n of_o the_o substrate_a matter_n or_o material_a entitative_a act_n of_o sin_n i_o have_v indeed_o see_v a_o excellent_a m._n s_o s._n where_o this_o odious_a opinion_n which_o have_v make_v our_o church_n
