that_o which_o they_o call_v free_a will_n we_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o this_o we_o say_v a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v save_v till_o he_o learn_v to_o deny_v his_o own_o will_n it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o every_o one_o ââould_v be_v save_v but_o some_o will_v not_o be_v save_v they_o will_v keep_v their_o will_n and_o not_o resign_v they_o up_o to_o god_n they_o have_v a_o freewill_n to_o

ãâ¦ã_o âââple_n can_v have_v theiâ_n will_n they_o will_v ãâ¦ã_o christ_n yoke_n upon_o they_o he_o that_o ãâã_d christ_n disciple_n must_v deny_v his_o own_o wâââ_n take_v up_o his_o daily_a cross_n these_o be_v âhe_v ãâã_d of_o the_o gospel_n but_o you_o will_v say_v no_o man_n by_o ãâã_d power_n he_o have_v can_v redeem_v himself_o ãâã_d man_n can_v live_v without_o sin_n we_o will_v say_v

buâ_n the_o devil_n hinder_v he_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o do_v it_o because_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o like_o it_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o one_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o sin_n because_o the_o devil_n have_v get_v such_o a_o power_n in_o they_o that_o god_n can_v cast_v it_o out_o this_o be_v lamentable_a doctrine_n have_v not_o this_o be_v preach_v this_o doctrine_n of_o impossibility_n of_o live_v without_o sin_n it_o do_v in_o plain_a term_n say_v though_o god_n do_v interpose_v hiâ_n power_n it_o be_v impossible_a because_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o root_v sin_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o man._n be_v ãâã_d man_n god_n creature_n and_o can_v he_o neuââ_n make_v he_o and_o cast_v sin_n out_o of_o he_o if_o ãâã_d ãâã_d be_v root_v deep_o in_o man_n i_o say_v ãâã_d ãâ¦ã_o deep_o root_v but_o christ_n jesus_n be_v enâââ_n ãâ¦ã_o the_o root_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o ãâã_d that_o he_o have_v receive_v power_n to_o destroy_v ãâã_d evil_a
