if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o must_v there_o needs_o be_v election_n so_o as_o god_n must_v take_v the_o one_o sort_n because_o he_o think_v it_o good_a so_o to_o do_v &_o leave_v the_o other_o

that_o we_o be_v naughty_a in_o deed_n and_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v altogether_o sinful_a and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o age_n what_o can_v we_o do_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o to_o fall_v to_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

so_o let_v we_o be_v like_o scholar_n unto_o he_o but_o let_v we_o come_v now_o too_o the_o truth_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v which_o be_v say_v he_o that_o you_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_v with_o earthly_a lust_n even_o according_a too_o the_o conversation_n that_o you_o have_v lead_v heretofore_o he_o express_v yet_o better_a that_o all_o they_o which_o vaunt_v

too_o be_v short_a he_o shall_v tend_v all_o whole_o unto_o evil_n for_o we_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o old_a man_n lest_o we_o shall_v

unthrift_n for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v say_v he_o must_v cast_v his_o old_a skin_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n pass_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o our_o like_n be_v utter_o untoward_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o

here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v

must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o
