he_o have_v appoint_v to_o be_v constant_a in_o nature_n and_o may_v most_o just_o conclude_v that_o the_o law_n of_o necessity_n in_o the_o natural_a agent_n be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o that_o ●●ry_v counsel_n that_o have_v predetermine_v his_o own_o purpose_n by_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o a_o piece_n all_o lay_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o from_o thence_o grow_v the_o
