therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v it_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o conceit_n be_v because_o we_o think_v that_o god_n must_v go_v by_o our_o rule_n we_o forget_v this_o that_o every_o thing_n be_v just_a

the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v for_o in_o that_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o lord_n can_v err_v though_o he_o do_v never_o err_v that_o which_o go_v by_o a_o rule_n though_o it_o do_v not_o swarve_v yet_o it_o may_v but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n itself_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o err_v as_o if_o the_o carpenter_n hand_n be_v the_o rule_n he_o strike_v a_o right_a line_n the_o angel_n and_o creature_n have_v a_o rule_n and_o therefore_o may_v err_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o god_n and_o therefore_o what_o god_n will_v be_v just_a because_o he_o be_v the_o rule_n itself_o therefore_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o predestination_n we_o be_v to_o say_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o thus_o i_o find_v the_o lord_n have_v

the_o heart_n of_o every_o man_n live_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v come_v from_o a_o general_a cause_n from_o whence_o else_o shall_v it_o proceed_v no_o particular_a cause_n can_v produce_v it_o

the_o testimony_n of_o god_n 2_o beside_o when_o you_o see_v every_o man_n look_v after_o a_o god_n and_o seek_v he_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o there_o be_v one_o though_o they_o do_v not_o

some_o beauty_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o beauty_n be_v the_o general_a object_n of_o all_o and_o so_o in_o taste_n &_o other_o sense_n so_o when_o we_o see_v man_n go_v different_a way_n some_o worship_v one_o god_n some_o another_o yet_o all_o conspire_v in_o this_o to_o worship_v a_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v one_o for_o this_o law_n engrave_v in_o every_o man_n heart_n you_o will_v grant_v that_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o nature_n at_o least_o and_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a even_o as_o when_o you_o see_v the_o fire_n to_o ascend_v above_o the_o air_n it_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v a_o place_n where_o it_o will_v rest_v though_o you_o never_o see_v it_o and_o as_o in_o winter_n when_o you_o see_v the_o swallow_n fly_v to_o a_o
