indeed_o the_o absoluteness_n of_o the_o one_o but_o he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o decree_n the_o absoluteness_n of_o the_o other_o but_o mere_o the_o conditional_a nature_n thereof_o for_o grace_v he_o

11._o 30._o so_o he_o harden_v who_o he_o will_v by_o deny_v faith_n unto_o they_o but_o as_o for_o glory_n and_o damnation_n like_v as_o god_n do_v not_o absolute_o so_o neither_o do_v he_o decree_v
