do_v despite_n to_o the_o strive_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o old_a world_n do_v such_o as_o be_v complain_v of_o jer._n 6.29_o and_o such_o as_o stephen_n reprove_v act_v 7.51_o even_o such_o

may_v not_o think_v so_o hardly_o of_o god_n that_o man_n condemnation_n arise_v from_o the_o want_n of_o save_a light_n this_o be_v to_o charge_n god_n with_o injustice_n as_o the_o evil_a and_o
