which_o be_v his_o will_n if_o also_o you_o shall_v ask_v why_o do_v god_n reprobate_v these_o i_o answer_v that_o his_o will_n also_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n thereof_o in_o this_o sense_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v in_o god_n free_a power_n notwithstanding_o sin_n to_o elect_v or_o not_o elect_v to_o reprobate_a or_o not_o reprobate_a for_o god_n be_v not_o compel_v by_o the_o sin_n he_o

of_o these_o god_n have_v respect_n to_o man_n sin_n not_o actual_a infidelity_n or_o sin_n but_o original_a not_o as_o a_o principal_a efficient_a or_o as_o a_o cause_n first_o move_v for_o god_n may_v have_v not_o reprobate_v if_o he_o have_v so_o please_v but_o as_o a_o cause_n deserve_v reprobation_n or_o as_o a_o necessary_a condition_n in_o the_o object_n without_o which_o god_n will_v
