the_o scripture_n reveal_v to_o we_o 1._o that_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o end_n god_n proper_a ultimate_a end_n be_v himself_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n for_o

may_v see_v my_o whole_a sense_n of_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n and_o all_o the_o distinction_n be_v here_o couch_v which_o i_o intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o or_o at_o least_o employ_v yet_o

that_o the_o elect_n can_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o this_o except_o the_o non-elect_a be_v also_o because_o as_o be_v prove_v no_o man_n can_v know_v whether_o he_o be_v elect_a or_o not_o before_o he_o
