god_n and_o we_o say_v that_o we_o can_v by_o our_o own_o strength_n prepare_v any_o way_n for_o we_o to_o come_v unto_o god_n but_o that_o if_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o he_o must_v draw_v us._n 10_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v therefore_o that_o he_o must_v first_o regenerate_v we_o and_o make_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o new_a creature_n in_o which_o work_n we_o be_v not_o co-worker_n

the_o which_o whole_a work_n be_v only_o to_o be_v ascribe_v unto_o his_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n we_o do_v condemn_v then_o the_o manichaees_n the_o velentinians_n the_o seleutians_n etc._n etc._n

but_o we_o acknowledge_v certain_a degree_n in_o they_o according_a unto_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o object_n and_o circumstance_n yet_o the_o original_a corruption_n and_o guilt_n be_v alike_o

xviii_o sing_v we_o have_v speak_v of_o sin_n in_o general_a now_o we_o will_v deal_v with_o the_o same_o in_o special_a 1_o the_o principal_a sort_n of_o sin_n be_v name_v two_o uz._n original_a
