ruffiny_n a_o ancient_a writer_n say_v they_o be_v impudent_a that_o think_v otherwise_o only_a cornelius_n a_o lapide_fw-la a_o learned_a jesuit_n with_o bellarmine_n and_o deny_v it_o because_o

for_o as_o no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o so_o nothing_o can_v reveal_v god_n love_n to_o the_o soul_n concern_v predestination_n
