because_o when_o god_n elect_v and_o predestinate_v we_o in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v it_o without_o be_v necessitate_v thereunto_o but_o by_o his_o own_o and_o free_a pleasure_n to_o which_o

word_n he_o furnish_v we_o with_o all_o his_o benefit_n towards_o those_o who_o god_n receive_v for_o his_o child_n he_o deport_v himself_o as_o a_o master_n will_v do_v who_o see_v a_o poor_a

to_o choose_v he_o for_o his_o servant_n because_o for_o all_o this_o he_o may_v remain_v in_o the_o highway_n as_o much_o as_o ever_o expose_v to_o his_o former_a misery_n certain_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o give_v he_o any_o true_a testimony_n of_o his_o affection_n he_o must_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v he_o for_o his_o servant_n but_o he_o must_v carry_v he_o into_o his_o house_n cause_v his_o wound_n to_o be_v dress_v give_v he_o clothes_n and_o do_v he_o new_a favour_n but_o god_n love_n be_v much_o more_o powerful_a than_o man_n natural_a affection_n for_o
