who_o do_v not_o see_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o these_o diverse_a instrument_n the_o will_n of_o god_n have_v diverse_a respect_n and_o diverse_a end_n and_o just_o may_v be_v call_v two_o will_n or_o a_o double_a will_n for_o it_o be_v one_o will_v to_o save_v and_o a_o other_o will_v to_o condemn_v as_o touch_v the_o instrument_n &_o creature_n save_v or_o condemn_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o

w_n c_o is_z revel_v to_o the_o w_n c_o i_o answer_n as_o before_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n betwext_v y_o e_o will_n revel_v and_o the_o will_v unrevele_v but_o

i_o nabuchadnezer_n after_o he_o have_v feel_v the_o just_a punishment_n of_o his_o pride_n and_o arrogancy_n give_v glory_n unto_o god_n ergo_fw-la some_o man_n after_o punishment_n give_v glory_n

after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o philistine_n you_o ask_v this_o question_n if_o god_n shall_v punish_v man_n because_o he_o have_v a_o beard_n shall_v any_o glory_n redound_v
