answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o though_o nothing_o have_v be_v which_o be_v not_o from_o god_n and_o so_o sin_n be_v nothing_o because_o it_o be_v not_o from_o god_n yet_o the_o form_n of_o it_o

ente_fw-la quod_fw-la in_o sebonum_fw-la est_fw-la to_o the_o second_o that_o though_o mortale_fw-la in_o peccato_fw-la have_v not_o so_o proper_a a_o inherency_n as_o ordinary_a accident_n have_v in_o their_o subject_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o natural_o in_o it_o that_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n inseparable_a from_o it_o but_o ultimum_fw-la et_fw-la independens_fw-la subiectum_fw-la est_fw-la homo_fw-la peccans_fw-la vel_fw-la angelus_n peccans_fw-la wherefore_o the_o distinction_n of_o sin_n into_o venial_a and_o mortal_a arise_v not_o ex_fw-la ipsis_fw-la rebus_fw-la but_o personis_fw-la and_o hence_o it_o follow_v ●●●t_v all_o sin_n be_v damnable_a in_o all_o me●_n not_o to_o all_o man_n all_o deserve_a 〈◊〉_d not_o all_o receyve_n damnation_n 〈◊〉_d to_o the_o reprobate_n no_o sin_n

will_v he_o have_v decree_v never_o to_o forgive_v it_o this_o be_v it_o which_o our_o lord_n speak_v of_o matthew_n 12.31_o and_o which_o his_o belove_a disciple_n understand_v say_v there_o be_v a_o
