here_o use_v i_o exegetical_o expound_v it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o goodness_n and_o bounty_n may_v differ_v yet_o when_o riches_n of_o goodness_n be_v say_v to_o be_v communicate_v it_o import_v the_o same_o and_o be_v all_o one_o with_o bounty_n and_o such_o be_v god_n and_o all_o those_o noble_a and_o royal_a qualification_n and_o property_n which_o concur_v to_o make_v one_o true_o good_a and_o bountiful_a do_v meet_v and_o abound_v in_o he_o in_o all_o those_o good_a thing_n which_o he_o do_v bestow_v and_o be_v find_v true_o in_o none_o but_o in_o he_o so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v of_o he_o now_o bounty_n in_o the_o general_a which_o be_v in_o god_n may_v be_v thus_o describe_v it_o be_v a_o free_a willing_a and_o a_o large_a give_v of_o what_o be_v mere_o his_o own_o look_v for_o no_o recompense_n again_o to_o explain_v this_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o all_o these_o condition_n be_v require_v to_o true_a goodness_n and_o all_o of_o they_o to_o be_v find_v in_o god_n only_o 1._o he_o that_o be_v bountiful_a he_o must_v be_v a_o giver_n and_o bestower_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o all_o he_o bestow_v it_o must_v be_v by_o way_n of_o gift_n not_o by_o way_n of_o recompense_n unto_o or_o by_o desert_n from_o the_o party_n he_o bestow_v all_o on_o 33._o therefore_o christ_n say_v luke_n 6._o 33._o that_o to_o do_v good_a to_o those_o who_o have_v do_v or_o do_v good_a to_o we_o be_v not_o thankworthy_a nor_o be_v it_o bounty_n but_o god_n be_v therefore_o true_o good_a
