and_o give_v credit_n to_o they_o 4._o the_o second_o argument_n be_v because_o this_o doctrine_n only_o show_v man_n the_o cause_n of_o evil_a &_o deliverrance_n from_o sin_n &_o death_n agree_v with_o the_o perfect_a justice_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o also_o satisfy_v our_o conscience_n 5_o the_o three_o because_o only_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n retain_v
