brief_o show_v my_o opinion_n in_o this_o point_n of_o murder_n first_o note_n i_o say_v god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o murder_n as_o it_o be_v murder_n but_o do_v detest_v and_o condemn_v it_o and_o put_v no_o not_o the_o least_o malice_n into_o any_o man_n heart_n which_o stir_v he_o or_o move_v he_o unto_o murder_n second_o i_o say_v that_o which_o god_n do_v about_o murder_n be_v comprehend_v in_o these_o action_n first_o 1._o as_o the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n he_o sustain_v man_n and_o all_o his_o action_n so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v either_o be_v or_o act_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o god_n do_v sustain_v he_o 28._o for_o by_o god_n we_o be_v we_o live_v and_o move_v all_o a_o man_n action_n therefore_o as_o they_o be_v action_n and_o every_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o also_o good_a the_o action_n then_o which_o be_v the_o material_a part_n or_o subject_n of_o murder_n the_o naked_a action_n i_o say_v be_v of_o god_n note_n not_o the_o murder_n which_o be_v the_o formal_a part_n indeed_o the_o deformity_n of_o that_o action_n second_o 2._o god_n withholdeth_a his_o grace_n from_o the_o murderer_n and_o leave_v he_o to_o himself_o be_v tie_v to_o no_o man_n further_o or_o long_o than_o he_o list_v now_o as_o hugo_n de_fw-fr sancto_fw-la victore_fw-la say_v peccatum_fw-la necessary_a

do_v not_o put_v any_o murderous_a thought_n or_o intention_n into_o their_o heart_n but_o he_o do_v only_o deny_v they_o his_o grace_n which_o shall_v make_v they_o tender_a heart_a &_o love_a he_o

to_o stay_v themselves_o and_o god_n may_v thus_o deal_v because_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o no_o man_n three_o god_n order_v and_o dispose_v the_o murder_n and_o that_o be_v thus_o 3._o he_o directe_v
