or_o when_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o any_o we_o do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n to_o any_o man_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o action_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o one_o work_n be_v attribute_v to_o

for_o this_o double_a respect_n a_o double_a work_n appear_v some_o time_n to_o be_v do_v in_o somuch_o that_o the_o one_o may_v be_v laudable_a and_o the_o other_o wicked_a as_o if_o the_o

it_o be_v that_o before_o god_n he_o can_v not_o avoid_v the_o crime_n of_o murder_n now_o let_v we_o apply_v these_o thing_n to_o god_n who_o efficacy_n before_o we_o have_v prove_v to_o work_v in_o

be_v good_a inso_v far_o as_o they_o be_v do_v by_o god_n and_o that_o difference_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a have_v only_a place_n in_o the_o instrument_n and_o in_o those_o of_o who_o we_o have_v

who_o do_v not_o see_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o these_o diverse_a instrument_n the_o will_n of_o god_n have_v diverse_a respect_n and_o diverse_a end_n and_o just_o may_v be_v call_v two_o will_n
