to_o be_v the_o give_v by_o election_n now_o of_o this_o sense_n he_o say_v so_o they_o may_v be_v tho_o not_o in_o scripture_n true_o say_v to_o be_v give_v he_o but_o whence_o do_v he_o deduce_v

this_o that_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o man_n believe_v be_v because_o they_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o so_o the_o number_n of_o believer_n and_o the_o ordain_v to_o life_n be_v
