because_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o set_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n of_o this_o church_n and_o can_v not_o prevail_v as_o he_o desire_v he_o then_o begin_v to_o make_v question_n about_o

to_o be_v consider_v about_o it_o as_o namely_o what_o scripture_n teach_v a_o man_n so_o to_o accuse_v himself_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o unnatural_a for_o a_o man_n so_o to_o do_v whether_o in_o

for_o it_o by_o what_o law_n of_o god_n they_o be_v bind_v thereunto_o and_o whether_o else_o they_o can_v have_v true_a rpentance_n but_o deny_v the_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n &_o err_v fundamental_o as_o here_o he_o will_v persuade_v 2._o the_o second_o be_v that_o there_o be_v quality_n in_o god_n not_o essential_a &_o that_o love_n in_o god_n be_v not_o of_o his_o be_v but_o that_o the_o self_n
