that_o he_o do_v it_o of_o purpose_n to_o overthrow_v they_o and_o destroy_v they_o which_o be_v much_o more_o now_o this_o be_v very_o strange_a gear_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o that_o be_v

thing_n may_v agree_v very_o well_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v harden_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o naughtiness_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o

that_o poinâ—_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v that_o god_n harden_v man_n without_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o sin_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o sometime_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v apparent_a and_o whensoever_o god_n punish_v man_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o he_o do_v it_o just_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n now_o one_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v to_o punish_v man_n with_o all_o be_v that_o he_o blind_v they_o that_o he_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o he_o send_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o
