another_o fancy_n common_a among_o we_o and_o near_o of_o kin_n to_o this_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o he_o merit_v of_o god_n life_n and_o

he_o merit_v of_o to_o something_o or_o other_o as_o due_a and_o the_o meritor_n so_o deserve_v that_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v behold_v for_o what_o be_v become_v by_o his_o action_n due_a to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v a_o debt_n that_o can_v be_v withhold_v without_o injustice_n in_o the_o person_n he_o merit_v of_o now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o groundless_a fancy_n that_o god_n shall_v become_v

any_o thing_n of_o god_n for_o itself_o and_o if_o not_o for_o itself_o much_o less_o for_o another_o it_o can_v merit_v for_o itself_o because_o all_o that_o the_o creature_n have_v or_o be_v

of_o unhappiness_n in_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n much_o less_o bind_v to_o be_v so_o or_o that_o any_o evil_a can_v proceed_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a or_o any_o thing_n but_o
