plain_o for_o you_o be_v fly_v into_o a_o fallax_fw-la which_o the_o logician_n do_v term_n ab_n insufficiente_a causarum_fw-la enumeratione_n sufficient_a true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o

a_o fleshly_a hart_n yea_o do_v he_o not_o also_o alter_v all_o our_o whole_a nature_n i_o mean_v all_o those_o inward_a natural_a quality_n do_v he_o not_o make_v they_o pliable_a and_z as_o it_o

work_v within_o even_o in_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o man_n not_o to_o make_v the_o unwilling_a to_o have_v faith_n but_o to_o frame_v the_o unwilling_a pliable_a to_o be_v willing_a etc._n etc._n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o heavenly_a grace_n by_o inward_a operation_n do_v make_v man_n willing_a that_o before_o be_v not_o willing_a i_o will_v fain_o learn_v now_o whether_o grace_n do_v nothing_o else_o also_o but_o knock_v only_o go_v to_o and_o while_o grace_n be_v a_o knock_n who_o be_v it_o within_o that_o open_v freewill_n i_o suppose_v but_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o freewill_n be_v pour_v into_o all_o person_n indifferent_o by_o a_o general_a influence_n as_o much_o in_o one_o as_o in_o a_o other_o why_o do_v not_o all_o alike_o open_a to_o the_o heavenly_a grace_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v knock_v forsooth_o because_o they_o will_v not_o you_o will_v say_v yet_o do_v the_o wheal_n run_v nevertheless_o as_o round_o as_o it_o do_v before_o for_o i_o demand_v again_o why_o some_o seem_v to_o be_v willing_a while_o other_o be_v unwilling_a what_o else_o think_v you_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n hereof_o but_o because_o god_n do_v open_v their_o freewill_n first_o which_o do_v open_a unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o open_v otherwise_o it_o can_v never_o open_v unto_o he_o whereby_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o freewill_n be_v not_o the_o porter_n to_o let_v in_o grace_n so_o much_o as_o the_o very_a gate_n itself_o and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o else_o open_a but_o as_o it_o be_v first_o open_v by_o his_o mean_n which_o do_v knock_v and_o that_o it_o appli_v not_o any_o way_n else_o but_o as_o it_o be_v make_v pliable_a and_o so_o make_v pliable_a that_o it_o may_v seem_v rather_o to_o be_v draw_v then_o to_o be_v lead_v never_o go_v before_o grace_n but_o follow_v altogether_o and_o to_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o augustine_n 13._o never_o as_o a_o foregoer_n but_o as_o a_o handmayden_n of_o
