also_o as_o the_o dr._n say_v that_o god_n not_o only_o permit_v but_o he_o do_v these_o thing_n he_o permit_v man_n to_o do_v wicked_o but_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o good_a and_o

evil_a or_o good_a deserve_v well_o or_o ill_o of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n thus_o to_o illustrate_v my_o meaning_n i_o say_v that_o o._n c._n and_o his_o confederate_n be_v usurper_n traitor_n and_o murderer_n and_o though_o they_o have_v power_n or_o strength_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o power_n or_o authority_n from_o god_n but_o king_n william_n and_o his_o confederate_n have_v
