for_o all_o thing_n must_v needs_o come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o his_o decree_n and_o determination_n theol._n first_o i_o answer_v you_o with_o the_o apostle_n 9.22_o rom._n 9.22_o o_o man_n

which_o work_v and_o move_v of_o itself_o it_o have_v in_o itself_o the_o beginning_n of_o evil_a m●t●on_n and_o sin_v willing_o therefore_o though_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n impose_v a_o necessity_n upon_o all_o secondary_a cause_n so_o as_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v frame_v and_o dispose_v according_a to_o the_o same_o yet_o no_o coaction_n or_o constraint_n for_o they_o be_v all_o carry_v

the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v the_o original_a cause_n of_o all_o motion_n in_o man_n as_o the_o philosopher_n dispute_n but_o yet_o not_o of_o lame_a and_o impotent_a motion_n for_o that_o be_v from_o
