you_o will_v say_v do_v not_o god_n in_o his_o inevitable_a decree_n and_o providence_n cast_v we_o necessary_o upon_o the_o object_n and_o temptation_n unto_o sin_n therefore_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v author_n of_o they_o and_o to_o tempt_v thereunto_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v god_n providence_n that_o the_o wedge_n of_o gold_n lay_v in_o achans_n way_n and_o it_o be_v the_o purpose_n and_o decree_n of_o god_n from_o everlasting_a that_o judas_n shall_v betray_v his_o innocent_a master_n and_o it_o be_v by_o god_n providence_n that_o bathsheba_n be_v present_v naked_a to_o david_n eye_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n nor_o render_v achan_n judas_n or_o david_n the_o less_o culpable_a for_o their_o sin_n for_o god_n secret_a decree_n and_o

against_o his_o holy_a nature_n and_o so_o tempt_v no_o man_n but_o when_o we_o be_v draw_v aside_o it_o be_v by_o our_o own_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n god_n be_v free_a from_o the_o charge_n
