before_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n all-searching_a providence_n add_v also_o to_o this_o that_o when_o i_o know_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o also_o when_o i_o know_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v come_v that_o must_v of_o necessity_n arrive_v hence_o it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o event_n of_o a_o foreknow_a thing_n can_v
