the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o the_o choose_n of_o evil_a way_n we_o grant_v that_o every_o natural_a man_n have_v freedom_n enough_o if_o so_o be_v this_o may_v be_v term_v by_o so_o good_a a_o name_n as_o freedom_n consequent_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o any_o man_n be_v compel_v or_o enforce_v by_o violence_n to_o choose_v the_o evil_a or_o to_o refuse_v the_o good_a but_o that_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n man_n unrenewed_a do_v willing_o and_o wilful_o refuse_v the_o good_a way_n and_o choose_v the_o evil_a and_o whereas_o the_o unregenerate_a person_n can_v do_v no_o
