suffer_v every_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o enable_v it_o also_o to_o exercise_v the_o natural_a property_n and_o faculty_n thereof_o thus_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o action_n but_o the_o evilnes_n of_o the_o action_n proceed_v from_o man_n corrupt_a nature_n like_v as_o the_o soul_n and_o life_n in_o the_o body_n be_v the_o cause_n it_o move_v but_o the_o lameness_n of_o

who_o be_v perfect_a goodness_n itself_o can_v abide_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a for_o if_o he_o shall_v will_v sin_n to_o be_v he_o shall_v turn_v man_n from_o himself_o which_o be_v to_o

god_n be_v say_v to_o give_v up_o the_o gentile_n to_o vile_a affection_n because_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o and_o just_o deprive_v they_o of_o his_o grace_n 2._o god_n harden_v pharaoh_n
