beget_v by_o a_o man_n thou_o also_o be_v a_o man_n but_o in_o that_o respect_n that_o man_n which_o beget_v thou_o be_v corrupt_v thou_o also_o be_v corrupt_v admit_v a_o leper_n beget_v another_o leper_n simile_n simile_n the_o son_n be_v not_o a_o leper_n in_o respect_n his_o father_n be_v a_o man_n but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o leprous_a man_n so_o mankind_n be_v not_o defile_v with_o sin_n in_o that_o respect_n we_o proceed_v from_o common_a nature_n or_o because_o we_o be_v beget_v by_o man_n in_o that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n but_o because_o all_o from_o adam_n to_o thy_o self_n be_v defile_v with_o sin_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o thou_o thyself_o be_v pollute_v with_o iniquity_n so_o that_o since_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n adam_n we_o may_v now_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o psalmist_n 14.3_o psalm_n 14.3_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o do_v natural_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o natural_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o therefore_o that_o our_o action_n in_o diverse_a respect_n may_v be_v both_o good_a and_o evil_n good_a in_o that_o respect_n god_n common_a nature_n and_o the_o will_v not_o disturb_v do_v work_v in_o and_o upon_o they_o bad_a in_o that_o respect_n they_o proceed_v from_o a_o nature_n corrupt_v and_o from_o will_n not_o direct_v by_o the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n wonderful_o disturb_v which_o corruption_n and_o disturb_v since_o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o three_o former_a cause_n but_o from_o a_o defect_n of_o purity_n and_o a_o privation_n of_o good_a creep_v into_o adam_n by_o his_o disobedience_n and_o from_o he_o derive_v to_o his_o whole_a posterity_n for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o defect_n yet_o it_o be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v in_o we_o simile_n simile_n as_o blindness_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o defect_n and_o want_n of_o the_o

our_o action_n i_o say_v go_v with_o they_o for_o we_o must_v conceive_v a_o difference_n between_o our_o action_n and_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o privation_n and_o want_n of_o the_o good_a the_o action_n be_v effect_v by_o god_n but_o the_o evil_n go_v with_o they_o wrought_v by_o ourselves_o god_n give_v strength_n to_o work_v and_o a_o faculty_n to_o will_n but_o in_o that_o the_o action_n be_v evil_a it_o be_v because_o we_o work_v indirect_o and_o will_v preposterouslie_o as_o for_o a_o instance_n judas_n betray_v his_o master_n in_o this_o action_n god_n give_v
