thus_o lay_v open_a the_o error_n of_o pelagius_n and_o of_o the_o papist_n i_o will_v gather_v four_o demonstration_n out_o of_o paul_n wherewith_o i_o will_v confirm_v the_o minor_a of_o our_o

nature_n for_o all_o man_n from_o their_o birth_n be_v unclean_a and_o guilty_a now_o see_v from_o a_o unpure_a and_o stink_a fountain_n there_o can_v choose_v but_o issue_n foul_a and_o filthy_a

mass_n for_o the_o effect_n can_v be_v better_a than_o the_o cause_n so_o that_o this_o argument_n be_v strong_a they_o which_o be_v unclean_a can_v yield_v pure_a obedience_n all_o man_n by_o

god_n the_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o general_a experience_n argument_n or_o punishment_n of_o guiltiness_n in_o all_o man_n whosoever_o be_v subject_a to_o death_n which_o be_v the_o
