we_o to_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o to_o the_o fountain_n of_o our_o salvation_n this_o be_v that_o free_a grace_n whereof_o we_o have_v so_o often_o make_v mention_n when_o then_o we_o say_v that_o

that_o be_v the_o election_n eternal_a and_o who_o so_o will_v not_o ascend_v thither_o derogate_v from_o god_n his_o honour_n see_v he_o can_v not_o discern_v between_o man_n and_o man_n otherwise_o
