that_o he_o have_v do_v unto_o we_o for_o they_o that_o bernard_n bernard_n by_o receive_v grace_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o most_o favour_n with_o god_n if_o they_o be_v unthankful_a they_o become_v of_o least_o reckon_n with_o god_n say_v saint_n bernard_n o_o that_o man_n will_v therefore_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n and_o show_v the_o blessing_n that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o

the_o author_n of_o any_o evil_n water_n and_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o bad_a fruit_n and_o therefore_o god_n which_o be_v summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la the_o chief_a good_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n can_v be_v author_n of_o any_o evil_n now_o evil_a be_v take_v two_o way_n 1._o evil_a of_o sin_n 2._o evil_a of_o punishment_n and_o i_o say_v god_n simple_o and_o in_o all_o respect_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o neither_o 1._o not_o of_o sin_n for_o thou_o be_v a_o god_n that_o hate_v wickedness_n neither_o 4._o
