prove_v it_o to_o be_v sothen_fw-ge oght_v you_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o burden_n god_n with_o such_o unrighteous_a judgement_n do_v not_o god_n rather_o forgive_v the_o offence_n already_o commit_v

your_o manifest_a lie_n 〈…〉_o that_o god_n forgive_v the_o sin_n commit_v and_o do_v remember_v mercy_n even_o when_o he_o appear_v in_o his_o hot_a displeasure_n to_o punish_v his_o church_n with_o

to_o death_n because_o so_o it_o please_v he_o for_o if_o death_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n and_o for_o offence_n and_o sin_n we_o do_v die_v then_o come_v not_o death_n by_o god_n absolute_a ordinance_n and_o if_o i_o do_v grant_v that_o both_o god_n absolute_a ordinance_n and_o also_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o damnation_n after_o your_o meaning_n mark_v well_o what_o inconvenience_n follow_v thereof_o first_o you_o must_v grant_v i_o that_o god_n ordinance_n be_v the_o principal_a and_o chief_a cause_n for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v inferior_a to_o any_o other_o cause_n second_o you_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o first_o or_o principale_a cause_n call_v causa_fw-la causae_fw-la be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o second_o and_o inferior_a cause_n call_v cause_n causate_a so_o to_o
