of_o the_o father_n be_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o as_o they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o nature_n so_o be_v they_o all_o one_o in_o will_n all_o the_o person_n than_o have_v a_o stroke_n in_o this_o send_n yet_o for_o order_n false_a the_o father_n be_v say_v to_o send_v because_o he_o be_v first_o the_o four_o question_n be_v how_o the_o father_n can_v

this_o truth_n may_v be_v see_v by_o experience_n the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o his_o fall_n have_v a_o purpose_n not_o to_o sin_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n when_o he_o be_v in_o fall_v

at_o the_o very_a first_o moment_n of_o his_o conception_n again_o observe_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o manhood_n increase_v in_o grace_n as_o in_o age_n and_o stature_n luk._n 2._o and_o this_o
