such_o as_o be_v under_o our_o correction_n to_o do_v wicked_o in_o our_o sight_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v adjudge_v accessary_n to_o their_o wickedness_n but_o god_n do_v permit_v sin_n to_o range_v

for_o his_o own_o treachery_n and_o wickedness_n conclusion_n to_o answer_v in_o one_o word_n if_o this_o subtle_a sophister_n do_v mean_a hear_v of_o judgement_n or_o of_o execution_n of_o

no_o say_v you_o for_o so_o much_o as_o nothing_o can_v more_o vary_v from_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n nor_o be_v more_o repugnaunt_a to_o the_o most_o mild_a nature_n of_o god_n then_o
