thou_o have_v say_v what_o the_o nature_n &_o will_n of_o man_n shall_v have_v be_v if_o he_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o first_o estate_n in_o which_o god_n do_v create_v he_o for_o as_o concern_v his_o will_n it_o shall_v necessary_o have_v be_v rule_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o that_o of_o the_o angel_n which_o have_v remain_v steadfast_a be_v at_o this_o pesent_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o sin_n than_o they_o and_o so_o shall_v not_o at_o all_o have_v lose_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n by_o
