god_n yet_o for_o our_o better_a understanding_n the_o will_n be_v consider_v as_o the_o cause_n efficient_a the_o decree_n as_o the_o effect_n now_o whereas_o this_o word_n will_n be_v take_v

for_o to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v in_o god_n but_o one_o only_a will_n which_o be_v call_v the_o will_n of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n because_o out_o of_o his_o most_o free_a good_a pleasure_n he_o have_v decree_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v it_o be_v call_v also_o his_o antecedent_n will_v because_o it_o have_v existence_n before_o any_o creature_n and_o from_o eternity_n with_o god_n it_o
