that_o some_o be_v ordain_v to_o destruction_n arminius_n this_o argument_n may_v be_v takââ_n away_o several_a way_n first_o because_o ãâã_d speak_v only_o of_o the_o predestinate_a ãâã_d touch_v at_o least_o in_o word_n the_o repâââbate_n second_o that_o admit_v the_o âords_n of_o the_o text_n be_v by_o sequel_n to_o concern_v the_o reprobate_n yet_o they_o prove_v âot_n which_o be_v only_o

to_o mercy_n or_o a_o dust_n dereliction_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o their_o own_o sin_n three_o and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o whereas_o these_o former_a word_n be_v deliver_v by_o s._n luke_n &_o withal_o whereas_o our_o adversary_n inference_n here_o be_v that_o those_o who_o do_v not_o then_o believe_v be_v ordain_v to_o damnation_n now_o to_o dream_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o our_o
