which_o against_o new_a heretic_n be_v now_o with_o a_o new_a travel_n defend_v the_o xxiiii_o chapter_n but_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v more_o i_o suppose_v that_o i_o have_v sufficient_o teach_v or_o

they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n furthermore_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v both_o that_o god_n know_v aforehande_v all_o his_o own_o gift_n and_o also_o that_o he_o know_v afore_o to_o who_o he_o will_v gyve_v they_o as_o other_o gift_n therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v preched_a that_o he_o which_o preach_v they_o may_v be_v obedient_o hear_v even_o so_o also_o predestination_n ought_v to_o be_v

he_o have_v they_o in_o vain_a this_o gift_n we_o wish_v unto_o the_o pelagians_n that_o they_o may_v have_v but_o unto_o these_o our_o brethren_n we_o wish_v that_o they_o may_v have_v it_o more_o
