23_o by_o this_o inbred_a corruption_n our_o understanding_n be_v so_o darken_a will_n that_o natural_o we_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n no_o we_o count_v they_o

whatsoever_o we_o receive_v by_o way_n of_o reward_n at_o god_n hand_n either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o receive_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n free_o give_v by_o he_o

they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o poverty_n and_o nakedness_n those_o filthy_a garment_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n wherein_o adam_n have_v wrap_v his_o posterity_n but_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n they_o dissemble_v it_o diminish_v it_o and_o make_v light_a of_o it_o for_o although_o they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o man_n nature_n be_v corrupt_v yet_o mark_v how_o they_o

do_v witness_v that_o by_o it_o all_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n heart_n be_v only_o evil_a 6._o they_o restrain_v it_o to_o the_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o

be_v to_o make_v long_a discourse_n teach_v that_o god_n foreknowledge_n do_v not_o take_v away_o free_a will_n that_o man_n be_v not_o violent_o draw_v to_o good_a or_o evil_n which_o thing_n we_o
