no_o misery_n in_o the_o creature_n there_o may_v have_v be_v grace_n but_o not_o proper_o mercy_n because_o that_o necessary_o presuppose_v misery_n have_v adam_n stand_v in_o the_o state_n of_o

that_o i_o may_v open_v this_o more_o particular_o i_o must_v distinguish_v of_o mercy_n there_o be_v misericordia_fw-la spiritualis_fw-la and_o misericordia_fw-la temporalis_fw-la mercy_n to_o the_o

the_o body_n the_o text_n take_v in_o both_o of_o these_o branch_n or_o mercy_n in_o the_o utmost_a latitude_n and_o high_a elevation_n of_o it_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v far_o the_o high_a
