of_o ourselves_o this_o matter_n be_v so_o important_a to_o clear_v it_o the_o more_o we_o must_v brief_o answer_v some_o objection_n make_v against_o it_o first_o he_o who_o deny_v sinner_n his_o

therefore_o he_o be_v not_o in_o fault_n as_o to_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n second_o they_o say_v if_o the_o wicked_a do_v execute_v god_n judgement_n yet_o so_o that_o their_o design_n by_o god_n be_v direct_v and_o determine_v to_o certain_a object_n it_o follow_v that_o either_o they_o sin_v not_o or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o well_o in_o god_n to_o be_v angry_a against_o those_o who_o can_v resist_v his_o power_n we_o answer_v with_o a_o denial_n of_o the_o consequence_n for_o neither_o of_o the_o two_o thing_n do_v follow_v wicked_a man_n do_v sin_n for_o what_o they_o do_v be_v not_o with_o a_o design_n to_o execute_v god_n judgement_n but_o to_o satisfy_v their_o own_o lust_n against_o god_n law_n wherefore_o god_n without_o any_o evil_n may_v make_v use_n of_o their_o sin_n

sin_n and_o make_v use_v of_o they_o as_o instrument_n to_o commit_v sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n be_v the_o author_n of_o those_o sin_n but_o god_n as_o a_o wise_a and_o a_o just_a judge_n do_v not_o
