a_o marvelous_a and_o easy_a way_n of_o worship_v god_n according_a to_o that_o which_o one_o say_v of_o their_o most_o devote_a and_o religious_a person_n that_o they_o be_v humble_a but_o without_o

34.19_o what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v to_o these_o thing_n god_n hereby_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o his_o election_n be_v free_a and_o also_o that_o all_o mankind_n be_v natural_o corrupt_a and_o
