heaven_n can_v yet_o allow_v the_o regulation_n of_o this_o power_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o to_o be_v of_o a_o inferior_a human_a political_a orgination_n 71._o one_o argument_n more_o mr._n goodwin_n be_v please_v to_o take_v in_o to_o disprove_v the_o immediate_a derivation_n of_o this_o power_n of_o life_n from_o god_n because_o say_v he_o that_o derivation_n which_o be_v immediate_a from_o god_n can_v by_o no_o way_n be_v assist_v further_v or_o promote_v by_o any_o creature_n or_o second_o mean_n but_o this_o derivation_n of_o that_o power_n of_o life_n be_v at_o least_o

that_o it_o shall_v undertake_v to_o wrest_v this_o power_n out_o of_o god_n hand_n and_o assume_v it_o into_o their_o own_o but_o i_o say_v as_o a_o causa_fw-la sine_fw-la quâ_fw-la non_fw-la or_o a_o previous_a preparation_n of_o the_o subject_a by_o their_o choice_n qualify_v the_o person_n to_o be_v thus_o invest_v and_o impower_v by_o god_n and_o so_o though_o the_o people_n in_o this_o

from_o god_n as_o the_o address_n have_v sufficient_o explain_v and_o not_o from_o any_o act_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n further_a in_o mr._n goodwin_n argument_n may_v be_v

it_o be_v the_o sole_a act_n of_o god_n decree_n to_o give_v that_o power_n and_o nothing_o else_o or_o else_o the_o word_n further_a may_v be_v take_v to_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o prepare_v or_o
