they_o infer_v that_o as_o a_o dead_a man_n do_v nothing_o to_o the_o raise_n of_o himself_o no_o more_o do_v we_o that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a as_o god_n put_v forth_o a_o almighty_a power_n at_o

of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n neither_o be_v it_o less_o plain_a against_o the_o other_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o efficacious_o inspire_v into_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o for_o this_o will_v quite_o destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o will_n for_o as_o he_o say_v well_o he_o that_o can_v choose_v but_o choose_v do_v choose_v because_o he_o can_v choose_v which_o be_v a_o palpable_a and_o thick_a contradiction_n second_o it_o appear_v from_o our_o saviour_n word_n how_o oft_o will_v i_o and_o you_o will_v not_o that_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o irresistible_o put_v to_o the_o will_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o will_v to_o refuse_v it_o see_v he_o blame_v they_o for_o so_o often_o forsake_v
