which_o also_o must_v put_v a_o end_n to_o our_o disputation_n touch_v this_o point_n of_o predestination_n because_o he_o do_v not_o offer_v any_o further_a occasion_n by_o that_o which_o be_v past_a it_o do_v appear_v that_o he_o dissent_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o point_n of_o predestination_n and_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o of_o any_o worth_n to_o say_v for_o himself_o

peculiar_a to_o himself_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n he_o do_v not_o consent_v i_o take_v that_o as_o certain_a therefore_o he_o must_v consent_v with_o the_o lutheran_n and_o arminian_o i_o name_v they_o both_o because_o both_o have_v share_n in_o the_o business_n the_o lutheran_n do_v urge_v this_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n but_o not_o very_o strict_o nor_o as_o a_o matter_n undoubted_o reveal_v nor_o do_v they_o press_v it_o in_o all_o the_o particular_n bring_v by_o m._n mountagu_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v ascribe_v to_o arminius_n by_o we_o because_o he_o

i_o forbear_v to_o confirm_v this_o by_o the_o particular_a passage_n write_v by_o arminius_n vorstius_n and_o other_o of_o that_o side_n because_o it_o will_v be_v tedious_a and_o without_o all_o
