it_o lie_v so_o in_o opposition_n to_o my_o way_n i_o can_v let_v it_o altogether_o pass_v first_o it_o be_v high_o injurious_a to_o god_n because_o it_o make_v he_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n which_o of_o all_o thing_n be_v most_o contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n i_o confess_v the_o asserter_n of_o this_o principle_n deny_v this_o consequence_n but_o that_o be_v but_o mockery_n see_v it_o so_o natural_o follow_v from_o their_o doctrine_n and_o be_v equal_o ridiculous_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v obstinate_o deny_v that_o one_o and_o two_o make_v three_o for_o if_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o reprobated_a shall_v perish_v without_o all_o respect_n to_o their_o evil_a deed_n but_o only_o as_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o if_o he_o have_v also_o decree_v long_o before_o they_o be_v in_o be_v or_o in_o any_o capacity_n to_o do_v good_a or_o evil_a that_o they_o shall_v walk_v in_o these_o wicked_a way_n by_o which_o as_o a_o secondary_a mean_n they_o be_v lead_v to_o that_o end_n who_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o author_n and_o cause_n thereof_o but_o god_n who_o so_o will_v and_o decree_v it_o be_v not_o this_o as_o natural_a a_o consequence_n as_o can_v be_v second_o this_o

shall_v never_o attain_v it_o if_o he_o belong_v to_o the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n last_o this_o doctrine_n be_v high_o injurious_a to_o mankind_n and_o render_v they_o in_o a_o far_o worse_a

according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n must_v suffer_v for_o adam_n sin_n which_o they_o neither_o know_v of_o nor_o ever_o be_v accessary_a to_o it_o render_v they_o worse_o than_o the_o beast_n of_o

though_o he_o withhold_v straw_n from_o they_o yet_o by_o much_o labour_n and_o pain_n they_o can_v have_v get_v it_o but_o from_o man_n they_o make_v god_n to_o withhold_v all_o mean_n of_o
