whether_o as_o man_n he_o that_o know_v not_o the_o day_n nor_o hour_n of_o his_o own_o come_n to_o judgement_n do_v know_v the_o number_n and_o name_n of_o his_o own_o elect_n that_o ever_o be_v

such_o as_o be_v not_o common_a to_o the_o unjustified_a this_o we_o express_v against_o the_o pelagian_a conceit_n that_o give_v justification_n and_o salvation_n on_o condition_n of_o faith_n but_o
