this_o be_v we_o sure_a of_o that_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o first_o man_n where_o by_o he_o do_v bring_v both_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n under_o the_o thraldom_n and_o bondage_n of_o

far_o better_a that_o leave_v such_o vain_a suttylty_n whereby_o man_n do_v go_v about_o to_o excuse_v themselves_o and_o to_o accuse_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v seek_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o own_o damnation_n not_o in_o the_o hide_a judgement_n damnation_n where_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o damnation_n and_o incomprehensible_a way_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o in_o their_o own_o natural_a corruption_n which_o they_o have_v of_o their_o first_o parent_n adam_n for_o by_o it_o we_o be_v all_o make_v natural_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o consequente_o the_o child_n of_o everla_a death_n and_o condemnation_n what_o iniquity_n then_o or_o unrighteousness_n can_v there_o be_v in_o god_n if_o according_a to_o his_o righteous_a

corruption_n that_o adam_n do_v wrap_v himself_o in_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n besides_o i._n gen._n i._n he_o do_v pronounce_v himself_o that_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v be_v

that_o same_o pure_a nature_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o by_o his_o fall_n he_o have_v bring_v both_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n in_o to_o perdytion_n

the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n say_v they_o do_v not_o let_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v count_v a_o sinner_n since_o that_o god_n do_v foresee_v in_o man_n the_o evyll_n he_o shall_v do_v and_o

wherefore_o man_n have_v no_o just_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o god_n if_o accord_v to_o their_o ungodlynes_n that_o he_o do_v foresee_v in_o they_o he_o do_v ordain_v they_o to_o be_v

what_o other_o answer_n can_v all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n make_v but_o that_o god_n do_v permytte_n they_o to_o go_v headlong_o in_o to_o destruction_n only_o because_o that_o it_o be_v his_o
