and_o daily_a tear_n of_o my_o mother_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o perish_v whereas_o i_o do_v certeinlye_o preach_v that_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n do_v converte_v man_n will_n not_o such_o only_a as_o

the_o manifest_a and_o certain_a predestination_n of_o saint_n which_o necessity_n after_o compel_v we_o to_o defend_v more_o diligent_o and_o painful_a lie_n when_o we_o do_v now_o dispute_v against_o the_o pelagians_n for_o we_o have_v learn_v that_o every_o heresy_n have_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n their_o proper_a doubt_n desiwode_v the_o catholic_a doctorce_n confute_v heretic_n

have_v enforce_v the_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o by_o predestination_n be_v commend_v to_o be_v defend_v more_o large_o and_o manifest_o by_o this_o our_o travail_n but_o because_o the_o pelagians_n say_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v give_v accord_v to_o our_o merit_n which_o what_o else_o be_v it_o but_o a_o manifest_a and_o utter_a denyeng_v of_o grace_n the_o xxi_o

they_o conclude_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v give_v according_a to_o our_o merit_n but_o if_o both_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n know_v aforehande_v that_o he_o will_v

of_o he_o which_o have_v predestinate_v we_o unto_o his_o own_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n furthermore_o do_v i_o not_o publyshe_a many_o year_n ago_o the_o self_n epistle_n which_o i_o have_v now_o

how_o easy_o a_o man_n do_v either_o reform_v or_o how_o stobern_o he_o labour_v to_o defend_v his_o error_n for_o the_o be_v a_o good_a hope_n to_o be_v conceyve_v of_o the_o man_n who_o the_o last_o

there_o be_v any_o such_o like_a but_o he_o who_o thapostle_n reprehend_v do_v not_o swelle_v against_o brute_n beast_n nor_o against_o any_o other_o man_n for_o any_o natural_a gift_n which_o may_v
