the_o will_n can_v decree_v a_o extraordinary_a concourse_n to_o a_o general_n without_o determine_v the_o particular_n for_o otherwise_o god_n will_v determine_v himself_o by_o his_o decree_n to_o

bring_v with_o it_o the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o any_o especial_o when_o by_o congruity_n and_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n it_o may_v be_v connatural_o understand_v in_o another_o sense_n and_o since_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o our_o great_a redeemer_n to_o speak_v by_o allegory_n parable_n by_o trope_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o speak_v so_o here_o which_o be_v sufficient_o intimate_v by_o christ_n himself_o tell_v his_o disciple_n john_n 6._o vers_fw-la 63._o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n and_o yet_o the_o word_n that_o he_o then_o speak_v be_v concern_v his_o body_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n

in_o order_n to_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o difficulty_n i_o must_v first_o premise_v that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o logic_n no_o affirmative_a proposition_n or_o enunciation_n
