whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o reject_v be_v wicked_a before_o they_o be_v that_o be_v from_o everlasting_a it_o be_v not_o our_o doctrine_n but_o the_o apostle_n who_o witness_v that_o esau_n

it_o be_v false_a that_o thou_o say_v for_o god_n in_o effect_n reject_v none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v corrupt_v in_o adam_n and_o with_o who_o therefore_o he_o be_v worthy_o displease_v whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o the_o reprobate_n sin_n of_o necessity_n it_o be_v not_o true_o say_v of_o thou_o for_o the_o purpose_n of_o necessity_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o necessity_n but_o

no_o man_n damn_v except_o for_o sin_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n but_o the_o law_n give_v to_o adam_n and_o transgress_v of_o he_o make_v all_o man_n

chief_o in_o this_o argument_n that_o we_o handle_v for_o see_v it_o be_v a_o assure_a truth_n that_o god_n harden_v who_o he_o will_v and_o that_o this_o will_n can_v be_v withstand_v if_o thou_o

thou_o shall_v secret_o reverence_v his_o infinite_a omnipotency_n all_o your_o subtlety_n therefore_o do_v fail_v or_o rather_o your_o brabble_a trifle_n as_o though_o we_o shall_v assign_v that_o

as_o augustine_n say_v yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o this_o be_v not_o true_a see_v there_o be_v extant_a so_o many_o and_o manifest_a testimony_n of_o the_o word_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v

shall_v have_v no_o action_n in_o revenge_a evil_n yet_o augustine_n allege_v that_o reason_n which_o may_v always_o satisfy_v all_o reasonable_a disposition_n 3._o as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o in_o the_o confute_v of_o the_o third_o slander_n for_o how_o often_o work_v the_o lord_n by_o evil_a and_o therefore_o sin_v instrument_n albeit_o the_o action_n themselves_o of_o their_o own_o
