for_o his_o own_o treachery_n and_o wickedness_n conclusion_n to_o answer_v in_o one_o word_n if_o this_o subtle_a sophister_n do_v mean_a hear_v of_o judgement_n or_o of_o execution_n of_o

of_o the_o divine_a predestination_n and_o reprobation_n do_v issue_n and_o spring_v from_o out_o the_o only_a will_n of_o god_n be_v in_o deéde_o most_o unsearchable_a yet_o most_o righteous_a and_o

you_o will_v say_v then_o what_o will_v you_o make_v god_n the_o cause_n of_o destruction_n and_o condemnation_n yea_o sure_o good_a sir_n in_o that_o sense_n that_o i_o speak_v before_o for_o why_o
