that_o good_a which_o he_o will_v the_o reason_n hereof_o the_o apostle_n do_v immediate_o after_o express_v in_o these_o word_n i_o find_v then_o a_o law_n that_o when_o i_o will_v do_v good_a evil_a

man_n in_o a_o natural_a state_n have_v a_o freewill_n to_o good_a and_o evil_n yet_o much_o more_o to_o evil_n because_o the_o will_n be_v move_v by_o a_o twofold_a principle_n 1._o by_o itself_o

viii_o the_o second_o scripture_n prove_v the_o impossibility_n of_o good_a in_o atheist_n or_o in_o any_o without_o the_o ordinary_a concurss_n of_o god_n ix_o there_o may_v be_v far_o urge_v that_o

wherefore_o a_o natural_a man_n can_v believe_v because_o he_o do_v not_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o extraordinary_a mean_n of_o faith_n

i_o say_v then_o that_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n faith_n do_v come_v by_o attend_v and_o harken_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v imprint_v in_o all_o man_n heart_n except_o in_o atheist_n
