they_o can_v be_v save_v we_o answer_v it_o put_v a_o necessity_n in_o god_n of_o infallibility_n that_o he_o can_v be_v deceive_v but_o not_o a_o necessity_n of_o constraint_n on_o man_n to_o force_v

now_o in_o the_o world_n god_n do_v not_o reprobate_a because_o ●ee_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o sin_n but_o because_o he_o see_v we_o be_v sure_a to_o sin_n therefore_o he_o do_v reprobate_a with_o
