frustrate_v the_o contrivance_n of_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n destine_v to_o our_o good_a we_o may_v hereby_o arrive_v at_o such_o a_o pitch_n of_o malice_n as_o to_o be_v incapable_a of_o

salvation_n will_v not_o be_v effective_a of_o we_o nor_o be_v god_n oblige_v then_o to_o exert_v his_o grace_n in_o mighty_a effort_n and_o a_o power_n irresistible_a no_o rather_o consider_v how_o

difficult_a and_o in_o the_o course_n of_o gods_n usual_a deal_n with_o man_n utter_o impossible_a and_o when_o by_o our_o vile_a &_o licentious_a practice_n we_o thus_o straiten_v and_o block_n up_o
