so_o thou_o god_n will_v be_v and_o man_n he_o make_v for_o other_o reason_n reason_n can_v find_v if_o thou_o his_o liberty_n will_v from_o he_o take_v but_o he_o shall_v be_v thy_o subject_n for_o thy_o sake_n but_o yet_o thou_o say_v how_o stand_v it_o with_o his_o grace_n to_o let_v his_o creature_n quite_o to_o ruin_v run_v can_v providence_n in_o he_o have_v any_o place_n that_o so_o will_v end_v the_o work_n he_o have_v begin_v yet_o what_o he_o do_v be_v for_o his_o glory_n do_v damn_a hell_n hound_n that_o against_o thy_o god_n do_v howl_v for_o by_o what_o be_v lose_v to_o he_o be_v glory_n win_v sith_o glorious_a it_o be_v to_o damn_v thy_o sinful_a soul_n that_o will_v thy_o god_n in_o all_o his_o work_n control_n for_o he_o be_v glorify_v none_o can_v deny_v by_o justice_n and_o by_o mercy_n both_o alike_o but_o here_o i_o hear_v thou_o ask_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o spare_v those_o who_o his_o justice_n strike_v who_o if_o he_o will_v he_o shall_v no_o way_n mislike_v for_o what_o prevail_v against_o his_o prevail_a will_n not_o all_o though_o all_o at_o once_o against_o it_o kick_v then_o if_o he_o will_v all_o shall_v the_o same_o fulfil_v and_o since_o he_o will_v not_o it_o be_v worse_a than_o iii_o to_o such_o rash_a why_n that_o under_o run_v his_o rod_n he_o thus_o reply_n by_o he_o through_o who_o he_o speak_v o_o man_n what_o be_v thou_o that_o shall_v question_v god_n may_v not_o the_o potter_n what_o it_o please_v he_o make_v of_o his_o own_o clay_n and_o what_o if_o all_o he_o break_v when_o it_o be_v make_v do_v he_o unlawful_a act_n thou_o can_v not_o say_v he_o do_v and_o not_o mistake_v but_o here_o thou_o will_v infer_v upon_o this_o fact_n that_o god_n perforce_o man_n will_n must_v needs_o coact_v god_n by_o his_o pour_n and_o will_n all_o power_n have_v make_v and_o all_o willes_n have_v dispose_v to_o each_o effect_n that_o his_o power_n sway_v all_o power_n sense_n do_v persuade_v but_o that_o his_o will_n all_o free_a will_n shall_v direct_v without_o constraint_n our_o reason_n do_v reject_v if_o god_n those_o will_n shall_v guide_v without_o their_o sway_n his_o power_n can_v not_o have_v gain_v so_o great_a respect_n as_o when_o all_o will_n his_o will_n do_v disobey_v yet_o to_o his_o will_n all_o will_n themselves_o betray_v two_o wicked_a one_o who_o he_o will_v plague_v with_o death_n with_o sudden_a death_n fly_v to_o the_o field_n to_o fight_v by_o malice_n move_v there_o reave_v they_o other_o breath_n and_o in_o their_o malice_n they_o perform_v aright_o his_o righteous_a will_n by_o rigour_n most_o unright_a nero_n must_v die_v his_o hand_n in_o christian_n blood_n to_o make_v they_o martyr_n move_v thereto_o by_o spite_n so_o god_n will_v have_v it_o for_o his_o church_n good_a and_o for_o the_o tyrant_n plague_n that_o she_o withstand_v to_o cast_v away_o a_o man_n own_o handy_a work_n although_o the_o work_n be_v he_o and_o stuff_n and_o all_o do_v argue_v no_o great_a wisdom_n in_o he_o lurk_v and_o lesser_a goodness_n for_o its_o prodigal_a if_o this_o in_o mortal_a man_n be_v criminal_a what_o be_v it_o in_o he_o who_o all_o be_v infinite_a be_v it_o not_o in_o he_o crime_n more_o than_o capital_a to_o mar_v what_o erst_o he_o make_v with_o rare_a delight_n herein_o say_v thou_o thou_o can_v not_o god_n acquit_v no_o can_n curse_n dog_n '_o that_o bark_n and_o bite_v at_o once_o god_n can_v himself_o acquit_v though_o i_o can_v not_o and_o thou_o requite_v with_o vengeance_n for_o the_o nonce_n for_o that_o his_o beauty_n thou_o so_o fain_o will_v blot_v but_o to_o his_o goodness_n it_o can_v be_v no_o spot_n nor_o to_o his_o wisdom_n blemish_n can_v it_o be_v to_o mar_v since_o he_o thereby_o have_v glory_n get_v as_o well_o as_o make_v since_o both_o in_o their_o degree_n with_o his_o prerogative_n do_v well_o agree_v say_v he_o bring_v that_o to_o nought_o he_o make_v of_o nought_o sith_o it_o prove_v nought_o though_o he_o it_o good_a have_v make_v must_v he_o to_o sinner_n bar_v for_o this_o be_v bring_v and_o there_o arraign_v condemn_v and_o doom_v as_o bad_a because_o such_o changeling_n he_o create_v have_v to_o make_v man_n god_n he_o can_v not_o bring_v to_o pass_v for_o god_n be_v coeternal_a and_o unmake_v then_o must_v he_o needs_o make_v man_n such_o as_o he_o be_v or_o not_o have_v make_v mankind_n in_o any_o case_n for_o be_v a_o nature_n reasonable_a unchanged_a and_o subject_n to_o no_o accident_n of_o time_n above_o a_o angel_n it_o be_v for_o they_o have_v change_v therefore_o it_o needs_o must_v be_v the_o nature_n prime_a to_o which_o man_n be_v create_v can_v climb_v but_o yet_o thou_o say_v adam_n in_o paradise_n can_v not_o so_o slide_v though_o he_o be_v make_v of_o slime_n but_o providence_n it_o needs_o must_v prejudice_n which_o shall_v have_v stay_v he_o still_o in_o his_o justice_n then_o must_v it_o have_v bereave_v he_o of_o freewill_n whereat_o he_o will_v have_v still_o repine_v grieve_v and_o keep_v from_o he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o ill_a which_o knowledge_n of_o all_o good_a have_v he_o deprive_v yet_o god_n at_o first_o from_o he_o that_o knowledge_n hive_v but_o man_n will_v needs_o be_v god_n and_o so_o know_v all_o and_o know_v all_o he_o know_v himself_o be_v gyve_v that_o first_o be_v free_a so_o do_v himself_o

have_v stay_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o sin_n he_o still_o in_o paradise_n have_v live_v in_o bliss_n but_o yield_v to_o god_n damn_v wretch_n as_o reason_n be_v that_o due_a that_o to_o a_o
