that_o time_n do_v not_o divide_v one_o act_n alone_o but_o one_o act_n or_o thought_n comprehend_v many_o time_n why_o may_v not_o i_o say_v that_o if_o time_n do_v not_o parcel_n out_o one_o act_n

how_o do_v god_n see_v thing_n thing_n if_o in_o their_o existency_n than_o all_o thing_n be_v coeternal_a with_o god_n if_o in_o their_o cause_n only_o than_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o present_a with_o god_n but_o you_o must_v admit_v of_o succession_n a_o former_a and_o a_o latter_a to_o eye_n divine_a which_o be_v blasphemy_n this_o dilemma_n seem_v strong_a but_o it_o be_v because_o we_o
