move_v of_o god_n according_a to_o his_o nature_n namely_o to_o work_v by_o reason_n and_o will_n and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o his_o choice_n or_o will_n be_v not_o compel_v but_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o willing_o and_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n whether_o the_o same_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v evil_a wherefore_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o mankind_n some_o
