man_n in_o capacity_n and_o understanding_n shall_v have_v so_o err_v as_o to_o imagine_v that_o equality_n faisable_a a_o fancy_n which_o the_o fond_a of_o man_n can_v not_o have_v entertain_v and_o it_o be_v improbable_a to_o say_v that_o their_o error_n can_v have_v sprout_v at_o first_o from_o their_o understandng_n and_o to_o think_v it_o to_o have_v be_v so_o gross_a as_o that_o fall_v man_n do_v now_o admire_v it_o but_o why_o may_v we_o not_o rather_o think_v that_o their_o first_o error_n be_v rather_o a_o crookedness_n in_o their_o will_n than_o a_o blindness_n in_o their_o

rational_o deduce_v from_o that_o scripture_n statuit_fw-la terminos_fw-la gentium_fw-la juxta_fw-la nu●erum_fw-la angelorum_fw-la dei_fw-la but_o if_o it_o please_v god_n so_o to_o order_v it_o it_o will_v doubtless_o aggrage_v their_o punishment_n by_o rackle_v their_o disdain_n and_o see_v the_o angel_n have_v never_o obtain_v a_o remission_n for_o this_o crime_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o ananias_n and_o saphira_n in_o withhold_a from_o the_o church_n a_o part_n of_o the_o price_n for_o which_o they_o sell_v their_o land_n be_v by_o peter_n say_v to_o
