execution_n be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v mere_o absolute_a in_o respect_n of_o impulsive_a and_o final_a cause_n but_o be_v ground_v partly_o in_o god_n will_n partly_o in_o man_n sin_n a_o

some_o and_o not_o all_o according_a to_o both_o the_o negative_a and_o affirmative_a act_n be_v not_o the_o foresee_a sin_n of_o any_o but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o first_o god_n do_v foresee_v
