doubt_v that_o man_n will_n can_v not_o resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v what_o god_n will_v for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o do_v dispose_v the_o will_n also_o as_o

whence_o do_v he_o pike_v this_o quarrel_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o luther_n article_n before_o mention_v i_o suppose_v but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o luther_n do_v in_o the_o self_n same_o

and_o that_o therefore_o it_o can_v think_v no_o ill_a thought_n by_o any_o mean_n because_o it_o do_v it_o not_o of_o her_o own_o strength_n and_o liberty_n as_o though_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n proper_o &_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v of_o her_o own_o proper_a power_n be_v all_o one_o to_o say_v so_o then_o by_o this_o reason_n the_o jew_n which_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n shall_v

while_o she_o sail_v nor_o the_o pilot_n within_o the_o ship_n do_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o because_o their_o course_n whether_o it_o be_v fortunate_a or_o unfortunate_a be_v not_o always_o direct_v
