A39932	Aytokatakritos or, the sinner condemned of himself being a plea for God, against all the ungodly, proving them alone guilty of their own destruction; and that they shall be condemned in the great day of account, not for that they lacked, but only because they neglected the means of their salvation. And also, shewing, how fallacious and frivolous a pretence it is in any, to say, they would do better, if they could; when indeed all men could, and might do better, if they would. By one, that wisheth better to all, than most do to themselves.	Ford, Thomas, 1598-1674.	1668 (1668)	Wing F1511B; ESTC R222667	153,768	273

bring_v himself_o into_o a_o miserable_a incapacity_n there_o be_v no_o question_n and_o that_o the_o devil_n help_v to_o keep_v he_o under_o it_o be_v as_o unquestionable_a but_o that_o man_n may_v put_v it_o off_o if_o he_o will_v may_v seem_v at_o first_o to_o be_v strange_a however_o i_o hope_v anon_o to_o prove_v it_o true_a for_o the_o insufficiency_n and_o inability_n of_o a_o natural_a
